As the newest Predator launches, here's a look at eight of the very best to wear the most famous of boots.

Dallas Cowboys Beat Washington Redskins, 38-14

Image
Limited by a bruised and swollen right hand for most of the night, Dak Prescott  finished with just 102 yards passing, but the Cowboys did not need much from their quarterback. Instead, a healthy offensive line helped Dallas rush for 182 yards, its most since Week 7, in a 38-14 handling of Washington on Thursday Night Football. Against his former team, running back Alfred Morris rolled up 71 yards over two second-half touchdown drives that took 12 minutes off the clock. Morris finished with 127 on the ground, his highest single-game output since 2013.  The Cowboys got plenty of help from a sloppy opponent, as Washington turned the ball over four times and gave up a punt return score. But the glimmers of greatness from a run game that had been one of the league's best units before injuries and the Ezekiel Elliott suspension struck is important for Big D's larger outlook. Given upcoming games against Seattle and Philadelphia, the 6-6 Cowboys' playoff chances are still...

Louisvile basketball scandal: Can Rick Pitino win lawsuit?

As explained back in October, the University of Louisville’s decision to fire Rick Pitino “for just cause” set the table for the 65-year-old former New York Knicks and Boston Celtics head coach to sue the school for breach of contract. A “just cause” firing is one where the employee is believed to have engaged in such serious misconduct that the employer is relieved of any obligation to pay the remainder of the contract. For Pitino, the remaining money on his deal is worth approximately $4.3 million a year through 2026, or about $38.7 million total. On Thursday, Pitino took his first step towards attempting to reclaim that money—and it is not a step without risk. Pitino filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the University of Louisville Athletic Association in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The complaint charges that Louisville lacked a valid “just cause” rationale to fire him. It also contends th...

Jimbo Fisher: FSU reportedly expects coach to leave for Texas A&M

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher reiterated Thursday that he expects to be on the sideline Saturday for the regular-season finale against Louisiana-Monroe. Many are anticipating it will be his final game with the Seminoles. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that they think Fisher will leave Florida State for Texas A&M and that the school has started the process of vetting potential candidates. They spoke on condition of anonymity because neither Texas A&M nor Florida State has publicly discussed details of the Aggies coaching search. While Florida State was holding its final practice for Saturday's game, Texas A&M's Board of Regents was meeting to discuss the hiring of a new coach. Athletic director Scott Woodward and chancellor John Sharp were also in the meeting when the board went to executive session. Fisher was seen talking to someone on his phone right before addressing the media. When asked what h...

He reportedly received X-rays, and he was not on the bench when the second half started.  Jokic had eight points and four assists in the 16 minutes he played.  Source link

San Francisco 49ers' Eric Reid told Slate Thursday he was told the NFL will allow funds from charitable campaigns to be shifted to fund a new social justice cause program announced this week. San Francisco 49ers' Eric Reid told Slate Thursday he was told the NFL will allow funds from charitable campaigns to be shifted to fund a new social justice cause program announced this week. Reid told Slate the plan to take away funds from breast cancer awareness and military service initiatives was one of the reasons he is breaking away from the Players Coalition. Reid and the Dolphins' Michal Thomas announced their decision to walk away Wednesday, saying we "don't believe the coalition's beliefs are in our best interests as a whole." Reid said Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins told him of the plan to shift funds.

Rick Pitino is suing Louisville for $36 million

Rick Pitino is seeking $36 million from the University of Louisville because he believes the university did not have "just cause" to fire him, reports The Courier-Journal. Louisville fired Pitino in the wake of the F.B.I's probe into college basketball, which uncovered bribery, wire fraud and corruption across many of the nation's top programs. A man referred to in the F.B.I. complaint as "Coach-2"—which is believed to be Pitino—is accused of funneling $100,000 from Adidas to secure the commitment of Brian Bowen.  The $36 million is what Pitino would be owed under his contract, but the university is arguing that it does not have to pay the remaining money because it had good reason to fire him.  The crux of Pitino's lawsuit is the coach's assertion that he had no knowledge of Adidas' alleged bribes, and that their  corrupt activity resulted in his firing. In an affidavit submitted to Louisville's board in a meeting to discuss his fi...

Super Bowl Odds: Patriots Favored to Repeat as Champions

While the New England Patriots (9-2) continue their run toward a repeat Super Bowl trip and another Vince Lombardi Trophy, the team they last faced in going for back-to-back titles has become the undisputed top team in the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) will try to extend their winning streak to 10 games against the Seattle Seahawks (7-4) on Sunday night, and they are not only listed as road favorites in that matchup but also the second choice on the odds to win Super Bowl 52 at +350 (bet $100 to win $350) at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

Arsene Wenger Admits He's 'Expecting Man Utd to Attack' in Saturday's Crunch Clash at the Emirates

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expects his Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho to set his side out to attack when the two go head to head at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Since taking over at Old Trafford, Mourinho has yet to win a game away to any of the other "big six" sides, scoring just one goal and taking three draws from those meetings. Despite that run, Wenger does not expect Mourinho to follow the defensive tactics he is known for in these matches, saying, via France24: "No, I don't expect anything special. "I just expect us to be ready to recover now. Man Utd is a strong team and I expect us just to cope with the problems they will give us. They will attack as well. They will not only defend." Both sides enjoyed high scoring wins in midweek, with United surviving a late fightback to beat Watford 4-2 at Vicarage Road, while Wenger's side maintained their 100% home record in the league this season with a 5-0 thrashing ...

Radiohead To Tour South America, Skip Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction @ARTISTdirect

Image
Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:55:23 Radiohead announced a series of April 2018 tour dates that will span six music festivals all over South America. One of those dates, at the Soundhearts Festival in Buenos Aires, happens to fall on April 14, the same day as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. The English rockers are considered a heavy favorite to receive the accolade, but with a concert scheduled in Argentina for the same day, the band have decided to skip the ceremony. Radiohead guitarist and effects unit specialist Ed O'Brien reserved a bit of skepticism for the whole Hall of Fame process, saying, "With British bands, there was a lot of hostility. It's in our DNA to be a little ambivalent with award ceremonies... It's a little bit thin on black artists and hip-hop artists. I'm just speaking as a fan of American music, I would have thought that Dr. Dre should have been in there two years ago. His name should be first on the list way ahead of Radiohead....

La Liga Side Valencia Reportedly Keen on January Loan Deal for Everton Striker Sandro

Image
Everton striker Sandro Ramirez is reportedly being courted by La Liga outfit Valencia, with a move in the upcoming January transfer window likely. The Spaniard arrived from Malaga in the summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £5m.

The Spaniard's only goal this season came in Everton's dismal 5-1 defeat against Atalanta.  Valencia are said to be opting for a loan move for the striker, with the option of signing the forward permanently in the summer,  according to the  Daily Mail . no-upscale " data-src="https://24kmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/5a202e352ee40f17cc000001.jpg" data-alt=""> If the transfer ...

Antonio Conte Charged With Misconduct After Being Sent to the Stands During Swansea Win

Antonio Conte has been charged with misconduct after being sent to the stands during Chelsea's 1-0 win over Swansea City on Wednesday evening.  The Italian was dismissed off the touchline at Stamford Bridge after he expressed his unhappiness from a decision which he thought was incorrectly given.  Since being charged, Conte has until 6pm next Tuesday, December 5, to respond to the charge and to decide whether he will appeal it.  He will most likely accept the charge after admitting his actions were wrong, and as a result, he apologised to referee Neil Swarbrick. It didn't affect the hosts as they scored midway through the second half through Antonio Rudiger to give Chelsea their fourth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions and has allowed them to maintain their current position in third.  Chelsea face Newcastle on Saturday lunchtime as they look to keep up with the pace of Manchester City who are relentless this season.

Watford's Brazilian Hotshot Richarlison Offered to AC Milan Amid Chelsea & Tottenham Interest

Image
Watford's 20-year-old Brazilian sensation Richarlison is quickly becoming the biggest name at the Hertfordshire outfit. The forward signed for Marco Silva's side from Fluminense last summer but has already been linked with the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund and most recently AC Milan. Richarlison's performances have been nothing short of sensational since arriving in England's top flight, and his abundance of tricks combined with end product has seen him confirmed as a star in the Watford ranks. Calciomercato are reporting that Watford's executives have 'offered' Richarlison to the Rossoneri.  However, it seems Milan's sporting director Massimo Mirabelli is putting a move for the youngster on the back burner, as he wants to see if the player can maintain the current level of performances in the latter part of the season. Ironically this campaign, Watford have actually amassed more points than the Serie A and former European gi...
