As they stood atop the Big Ten, figuratively and literally, Day and his wife, Nina, celebrated together with their children. Day wore a perma-smile after a dramatic 12-1 season he helped keep intact. He took pictures with his family and strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti. Day absorbed the scene, and at that moment he was the hottest offensive coordinator in the FBS, bound, surely, for a bigger job....
Ryan Flaherty is “ undoubtedly the leading candidate for the role ,” Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun wrote earlier this month, but far from a sure thing to be the man who takes over at the keystone sack for the Orioles after Brian Roberts went to the Yankees as a free agent. MORE BATTLES: Red Sox | Yankees | Rays | Blue Jays The problem for Flaherty is that in two years since the Orioles plucked him from the Cubs in the Rule 5 draft, the lefty-swinging infielder has struggled to establish himself as a major league hitter....

The 20-year-old midfielder, who is plays on loan to Barnsley is determined to win more silverware this season as United look forward to Under-21 Premier League semi-finals. “I think we have set a marker for the rest of the year,” he told MUTV. “If we get to the final, it looks like we could play Tottenham and we’ve proved we can beat them. “Obviously, we’ve played them four times now this year and we’ve both won two each so you can’t say they’re better than us, they’ve just picked up more points elsewhere, although I’m not taking anything away from them because that’s why they are top of the league and they’re a very good team....
Assistant general manager Bobby Evans said the deal is pending a physical, expected to happen later next week. The Giants declined to exercise Vogelsong's $6.5 million contract option for 2014 on Nov. 4, but the parties agreed to keep open the possibility of potential negotiations down the road during free agency.

Though he has played against some of the greats in the game, Sachin Tendulkar feels unfortunate to have not played against the master West Indian batsman Vivian Richards. Speaking about how he was able to make the transition from being a ball boy in the 1987 World Cup to actually playing in the 1992 Cup, Sachin said: “I remember in 1987, I was a ball boy so it was a big transformation for me from being a ball boy to participating in the next World Cup....

What might Saddam do? Consider the World Trade Center bomb. It was huge 1,200 pounds of explosive material, topped with three cylinders of hydrogen gas. The plotters intended to topple one WTC tower into the other, killing tens of thousands. After the bombing, engineers worked feverishly to shore up the building’s weakened support coltkhans to avoid a collapse. And another catastrophe was narrowly averted. The WTC towers sit on a large landfill, essentially a mud basin....
The quarterback-turned-football analyst has a well-documented interest in golf but hasn’t fared too well on the course as a pro since retiring from the NFL in 2016. However, that could change this weekend at the Safeway Open. Romo finished the first round 2-under 70 and entered the clubhouse tied for 20th. It was the lowest round Romo has ever shot on tour, besting his previous low round of 8-over par that came at the AT&T Byron Nelson in Dallas last season....

New Delhi, July 21 (PTI) Wriddhiman Saha will undergo a surgery on his shoulder in Manchester at the end of July or beginning of August, the BCCI said today, posting a timeline on its website which, instead of serving the intended purpose, ended up raising more questions about how the NCA had allegedly ‘bungled his rehabilitation’. “Wriddhiman Saha has sustained a posterosuperior labral tear.

However, in the first strong statement by an Socceroos player on the coach hunt, Sainsbury told 20Four that he wants an Australian to take over the role long term, and hinted that his former Central Coast Mariners mentor Graham Arnold would be his choice....
There’s no doubt the Saints, as constructed, have enough holes on their roster to justify the trade. Left tackle, wide receiver, safety, and (long-term) quarterback are all question marks for them right now, so landing Nos. 16 and 19, in theory, allows them to take out two birds with one stone. Draft capital is also important to the Saints as they continue to try to work their way out of salary cap issues....
Minnesota, the No. 6 seed and final team in the NFC playoff, traveled to No. 3-seed New Orleans and led most of the game. The Vikings defense forced a Drew Brees fumble to halt one Saints drive and intercepted a Brees pass to stop another drive. New Orleans missed a field goal at the end of the first half that would have tied the game at halftime, but Saints kicker Will Lutz drilled a 49-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to send the game into overtime....
Liverpool was understandably not at its effervescent best Saturday afternoon given the interlude, which robbed the club of Adam Lallana and saw Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino only report to Melwood on Thursday. The Reds, not for a lack of effort, could not fully stretch their superiority at the summit — their status as league leaders now only a case of goal difference. The Premier League’s most effective and entertaining attack could not ruffle the Saints’ rearguard despite pouring forward as much as it poured down from above....
