After a rocky start to his NFL career, Caleb Williams has shown glimpses of brilliance and has his team riding a two-game winning streak into London.

While the opposition has been to London 12 times, my Jaguars vs. Bears predictions and NFL picks don’t believe the familiarity will help the Jaguars on Sunday, October 13.

The Jacksonville Jaguars began the year with four straight losses before beating the Colts last week. Trevor Lawrence is coming off his best game of the year but he struggled mightily through the first four weeks, ranking 30th out…

UCLA men’s basketball players LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill were arrested Tuesday after the freshmen trio were caught shoplifting, according to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman. The Bruins were traveling in China for their season opener against Georgia Tech; while the team hasn’t yet made any announcements, it’s likely that UCLA will be without its heralded Class of 2017 recruiting class when it takes on the Yellow Jackets Friday evening. The Bruins were in Hangzhou at the time of the arrests; the Friday contest is set to take place in Shanghai. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, police were called to the hotel that the two teams were staying at in Hangzhou early Tuesday morning. Three Georgia Tech players—sophomore Justin Moore and freshmen Jose Alvarado and Jon …

Thomas Tuchel has given Ruben Loftus-Cheek hope of staying at Chelsea by comparing the midfielder to Michael Ballack and saying he will make no decision on the Fulham loanee’s future before watching him train.

Loftus-Cheek joined Fulham to kickstart his career after a serious achilles injury and is determined to prove himself when he returns to Stamford Bridge this summer. The 25-year-old is unfazed by the competition for places at Chelsea and he hopes to use pre-season to impress Tuchel, who praised the England international by likening him to one of Germany’s greatest players.

Much was made of the geopolitics surrounding USA’s World Cup match with Iran on Tuesday, but the animosity between the two countries’ governments was not reflected on the pitch.

After the Americans sealed a tense 1-0 victory to progress to the knockout stages in Qatar, the USA full-back Antonee Robinson took time to comfort Iranian players as they took in their exit from the tournament. The Fulham player embraced fellow defender Ramin Rezaeian, who was in tears, and spent time with Abolfazl Jalali, who had slumped to the turf at the final whistle. Images and footage of Robinson and the Iran players quickly went viral on social media, where he won praise for his empathy.

It was a World Cup like no other. For …

Newcastle will do everything in their power to keep Alexander Isak on Tyneside and have let Chelsea and Arsenal know that it would take an astronomical offer to alter that stance.

Chelsea have made an initial inquiry for the Sweden striker but, given that club’s problems with ­meeting profitability and sus­tainability rules (PSR), there is considerable doubt at St James’ Park that they would be capable of paying a sum possibly well in excess of £100m for the 24-year-old.

Despite making it clear that Chelsea would need to break the record £115m they invested in prising ­Moisés Caicedo away from Brighton last August, Newcastle have no real desire to sell a striker around whom their manager, Eddie Howe, ­env…

So far in 2022, the batting average across MLB is .243 — the lowest mark for the entire league since 1968. On-base percentage sits at .312 — the lowest mark since 1972. Slugging percentage is currently at .395 — the lowest since 2014. OPS is at .707, once again, the lowest since 2014. It’s no secret that hitters have struggled in 2022. Just five years ago, batting average was 12 points higher, on-base percentage was 12 points higher, and slugging percentage was 31 points higher. We thought the elimination of spider tack and other sticky substances from pitchers’ repertoires would help liven bats across the league, but it wasn’t spider tack creating this second dead-ball era, it’s apparently the ungodly amount of data available to MLB teams. Earlier today, it became official…

Michael Telek is a 27-year-old news producer who, until yesterday, worked for the CBS affiliate KDKA in Pittsburgh. He was fired after a Super Bowl news segment used a chyron that labeled Tom Brady as a “known cheater.” As was obvious to pretty much everyone, the graphic was a joke— and not inaccurate—but Telek was fired anyway. (He’s already looking for a new job and can be found here.) This conversation has been lightly edited for clarity. Hey Michael, first off, I’m sorry you got fired, especially for such a silly thing. Yeah, I was shocked, I think everyone pretty much was. Even some of my managers were like, “Oh, I feel sick about it.” I thought, “Well then don’t fire me.” But I’m not going to badmouth KDKA or anything, I liked working there and the peop…
