&quot;I don&#39;t know what to say. You have to give Ohio State a lot of credit. They&#39;re a good football team. I&#39;m proud of them (the players); they fought back to give us an opportunity to win but we didn&#39;t get it done at the end.

The natives were getting restless, which on this occasion also happened to include the opposing quarterback. Donovan McNabb and the Chicago Bears&#39; faithful used to share a rooting interest, but that was five

After what was billed as the day of destiny for Great Britain&#39;s success-starved players and fans alike, there was a certain sense of inevitability about the result.

WE HAVE to make sure that this afternoonâs match at home to Middlesbrough is not an example of âafter the Lord Mayorâs showâ, because everyone has been on such a high since our fantastic 6-2 Champions League win over Fenerbahce.

They looked like a team that had quit, and they looked like a team that couldn&#39;t be judged too harshly for quitting. There were so many young men in baggy white sweat pants and matching T-shirts on the sideline

one straight, punt-and-fumble encounter at 3 am 30 years ago was enough for me -- but I&#39;m quite aware of the image that goes with having the butch name of ALEXANDER!

The weekend turned out perfectly for the Cincinnati Bengals. They got a little rest, and got a lot of help.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - They had done a passable job of ignoring the issue, shunting any sense of perfection with a claim of ignorance. Or a studied refusal to be a part of the questioning and the hype and the excitement that surrounds a team gunning for history. The Patriots knew they were on the path. Everyone knew they were ...

It was in his eyes. David Carr knew he had to get the ball to Andre Johnson when he saw that look. &quot;When number 80&#39;s out there and we make eye contact,&quot; Carr explained, &quot;there&#39;s a very good chance that I&#39;ll throw him the football.

What was Dan Snyder thinking? No, I&#39;m not referring to the whole Steve Spurrier fiasco. This has nothing to do with his Washington Redskins team -- though one can argue that it&#39;s a reasonably brisk jog between

AS WARM-UPS go, yesterdayâs was of the luke variety, but the blame could not be laid at Celticâs door. In their last outing before this weekâs Champions League match in Milan, they treated their opponents
