Linebacker Brandon Marshall thinks Denver’s top-ranked unit in 2015 just might be the best of all time. MORE: Broncos’ Super Bowl parade, in photos “In my opinion, we’re the greatest defense to ever play the game. Ever,” Marshall said, via The Denver Post. “It’s a bold statement, but top to bottom we have the greatest talent — from rushers to safeties to linebackers. Better than anybody’s ever done it.”...
“We have to keep C.J. on the field. C.J. has been coming off the field the past three games because he’s been nicked up,” Kubiak said, via The Denver Post. “Things are going on, and we need to keep him on the field consistently.” MORE: Week 4 fantasy RB rankings | Broncos need to draft a QB high Anderson, projected to be one of the top backs in the NFL this season, has battled foot and ankle injuries early in the season....
The former four-division world champion (33-3, 1NC, 24 KOs ) is coming off the most lopsided loss of his career to Mikey Garcia back in July. Garcia, who moved up to 140 pounds, dominated throughout and made Broner look like he didn’t belong in there. Before the Garcia fight, Broner won a controversial split decision over Adrían Granados in a bout where many boxing pundits had scored it the other way....
Alaska Wildlife Troopers said they were notified about the bear attack last Thursday at about 8 p.m. The incident took place along the Chilkat River, close to the town of Haines. Scott Bradford, 55, and his son Casey Bradford, 21, were returning to their boat after a moose hunting trip when a brown bear emerged from the brush without warning and attacked the son from behind, authorities revealed in an official dispatch published online....
The Browns quarterback told ESPN in a long-form article published Wednesday that one of the highlights of last season was defeating the Bengals on two separate occasions, mainly because Jackson was on Cincinnati’s sideline. Jackson was named a special assistant to Marvin Lewis just weeks after he was fired from Cleveland in October. “I’m not gonna lie to you and say that the first time I played Hue did not feel good....
The Browns’ third-year defensive end hopes to be the best defensive player in the league at some point in his career and doesn’t see why he can’t start sooner rather than later as Cleveland begins to finally find its rhythm, especially after the departure of former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. “I hopefully have more freedom to be the player I want to be,” Garrett said, via Cleveland.com. “Gregg was more like: ‘You win with these two moves....
Mayfield, with hands clasped above his waist, detailed that one time when he had to wait a little longer. Mayfield’s parents let their son play football only in the backyard and at recess. So when did that wait end? “Fifth grade,” Mayfield said. “In Texas I guess that’s kind of late. I don’t know.” We do know, but it’s still the kind of answer that proves Mayfield is the right quarterback to dig a beleaguered franchise out of its latest (and perhaps greatest) mess after a 0-16 season in 2017....
Cleveland earned its first victory of 2016 Saturday and averted joining the Lions in 0-16 infamy with one week to spare, holding on to barely beat the Chargers 20-17 at FirstEnergy Stadium. A win’s a win, until it’s not, and it’s difficult to categorize the 1-14 Browns as winners even still.

The U.S. infamously fell short in the final match of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying campaign, losing to Trinidad & Tobago to miss the tournament for the first time since 1986. Following the loss, the program began a rebuild, with Arena and U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati stepping away to eventually be replaced by Gregg Berhalter and Carlos Cordeiro, respectively. Arena took over from Jurgen Klinsmann midway through that qualifying campaign, with the U....
Boudreau, throughout his career, has coached some of the NHL’s best regular-season teams, but he’s never gotten past the conference final and, after Wednesday’s loss to Nashville, is somehow 1-7 in Game 7s. MORE: An SN Exclusive talk with Boudreau That’s a crazy, borderline unrepeatable streak of crummy luck augmented somewhat by flat starts in those games; at Puck Daddy, Greg Wyshynski did a good job breaking down what, exactly, has gone into it....
Fernandes quickly became a talismanic figure at Old Trafford following his move from Sporting CP in January 2020, but has suffered a major dip in form in the first half of the 2021-22 campaign. The 27-year-old has only scored once in his last 14 Premier League outings and it has been suggested that he is one of several players to have grown unhappy at United as they sit seventh in the table, four points adrift of the Champions League places....
The Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported last week that Japan’ s 36-year-old crown princess has “shown signs of pregnancy” with her first child and potential successor to the throne. Since Princess Masako married Prince Naruhito in 1993, Japan has clamored for the arrival of a male heir to the nation’s Yamato dynasty.
On Saturday, their game with the Rockies in Denver was postponed by a water main break that shut down the restrooms and concession stands in Coors Field. That meant they had to play a doubleheader on Sunday. In the opener, the Rockies rallied for five runs in the ninth inning when Reds closer Aroldis Chapman couldn’t find the plate — he walked all four batters he faced — and Drew Stubbs closed the game with a three-run homer off J....
The Nationals outfielder, booed consistently by Braves fans during Saturday night’s game, appeared to try to send a message back by scraping his cleat over the Atlanta “A’’ carved into the dirt behind the batter’s box, as if trying to scuff it. Fans responded with more boos. Take a look (Vine via Atlanta Sports Guy): The Braves themselves responded via Twitter: But Harper denied he did anything to the “A” intentionally....
That doesn’t appear to be the case half a year later at a time when, with an election looming, Trump needs support from within his own ranks. With the president’s declining poll numbers, whether that be in terms of approval or his standing against Biden, GOP lawmakers have to consider the possibility of his defeat—and what the political future would look like post-Trump. “While we’re far from a full-out mutiny among Republicans on Capitol Hill, several GOP lawmakers have been more willing to take a more questioning tone toward the president of late,” Thomas Gift, a political scientist at University College London, told Newsweek....
While Winston’s prove-it season is the biggest storyline in Tampa Bay for 2019, it’s only one of many for a team introducing a handful of new players and some scheme changes. Arians hired Todd Bowles to be his defensive coordinator, and the former Jets head coach brings with him a new base 3-4 defense. Byron Leftwich is also on hand as a coordinator to help Arians coach an offense known to push the ball downfield and feature multiple looks....
From afterthought to the best future pro on the field — in all of three games. Three huge games. The exciting isn’t in what is with three elite quarterbacks competing for one job.

Urban Meyer vs. Mark Dantonio Meyer is 24-0 at Ohio State. Enough said, right? He went 2-1 in conference championship games against the SEC during his time at Florida.

The 59-year-old appears to be trying to avoid press attention amid reports he has hired a political “spin doctor” to help repair his reputation as Buckingham Palace braces itself for an hour-long documentary set to air on the U.K.’s Channel 4 in less than two weeks. A Channel 4 spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek that a Dispatches documentary, titled “The Prince and the Paedophile”, is due to air on October 21 at 10pm....
