North Florida learned a lesson the hard way in Monday night’s game against Tennessee Tech. MORE: College basketball’s best dunkers | Shocking upsets | 2014’s most memorable moments The NCAA has a rule stating technical foul will be assessed if a team member “dunks or attempts to dunk a dead ball before or during the game, or during any intermission.” The Ospreys basketball team seemed to forget that rule when a player dunked in pregame warm-ups and was given a tech before the game even started....

The day belonged to Everton and newly promoted Fulham. We take a look at the major deadline day transfers. #1 Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes From: FC Barcelona To: Everton FC The 23 year old Colombian centre half remained a strong Manchester United summer target, but it was Everton who swooped in and completed a £27million deal, with Mina signing a 5 year contract. Andre Gomes, the 25 year old Portuguese attacking midfielder, left the catalan club on a season long loan after struggling to put in competitive performances on a regular basis....

With the win, Chelsea reclaimed the second spot in the Premier League table. The result also meant Maurizio Sarri became the first Chelsea coach to remain unbeaten after 11 Premier Leagues. Also, the Italian equalled Frank Clark for the longest unbeaten run by a coach in his debut Premier League season. While Roy Hodgson’s side managed to slow down Chelsea’s attacking movement for large parts of the game, the Blues continued to control the game....

Spurs were thoroughly outplayed by Manchester City and looked to have conceded a late winner when Gabriel Jesus scored for the defending Premier League champions in added time, only for VAR to rule the goal out. While Tottenham ultimately had to thank the video referee, it showed remarkable resilience to twice come back against City, with Lucas Moura scoring his side’s second goal less than a minute after coming on as a substitute....

However, Bruce tweaked the formation slightly by adding his stamp to it with the deployment of three central midfielders; Jonjo Shelvey, Sean Longstaff and Isaac Hayden. Miguel Almiron was used in the hole behind Joelinton and those tweaks worked well in congesting the space in the middle of the park during the opening period, denying space to Arsenal’s fluent attack while creating opportunities for the counter. On two occasions, Newcastle nearly caught Arsenal on the counter-attack, with Jonjo Shelvey having a terrific shot smash off the woodwork, and late in the half, Joelinton spun past Arsenal defence but tamely hit a shot that was easy for Leno to gather up....

When the season started, many thought that the brilliant Manchester City would once again win the league by a considerable margin. We can safely say that that hasn’t been the case this season, with Liverpool going toe-to-toe with them and even taking a slender lead at this moment. The lead was as wide as 7 points a few weeks ago, but it has been brought down to a single point....

Ian McGarry on Dybala According to journalist Ian McGarry, Paulo Dybala is a very gettable target for Manchester United. The forward has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Manchester United and McGarry believes that United can sign him. However, he also stated that the Argentine wants to move to La Liga but Real Madrid might not want him, which is why a move to the Premier League could be on the cards....

The Galacticos are wounded and that only means they will go berserk in the market the moment they have the opportunity – and that is something that impacts the Premier League as well. Here are the top stories of the day. #5 London Arsenal have started the season really well under new manager Unai Emery but there is still a lot of work to do as their squad doesn’t look as good as the top three of England....

This is the fourth time the Crimson Tide have started the season in the No. 1 spot since Nick Saban’s arrival in 2007, and it’s another chance for his team to live up to that billing. Perhaps that’s why Saban was in midseason form at a news conference on Aug. 16 with a teed-up rant when asked about Christian Miller. MORE: Saban’s willingness to change pays off “You know guys make all these predictions about everything, about guys who are going to be great players, that have been here for two years, and who’s gonna win all the games and I don’t even know why we play,” Saban said....

Upon taking the podium, Obama was quick to express his disappointment that one dignitary couldn’t make it. “I was hoping that Riley Curry would be here today to share the podium with me,” Obama said. “I guess I’ll have to get media training some other day.” MORE: Classic photos of Stephen Curry | Obama says he ‘can relate’ to Duke Obama also welcomed a player from the greatest team in NBA history, saying it was “great” to have ex-Bulls player Steve Kerr present....

Henry’s son Jacob Henry is slowly making a name for himself on the varsity wrestling scene and recently accomplished a meaningful goal. Jacob, after two years of working hard, became the 6A District Champion at Lake Travis High School. Jacob Henry took to Twitter to announce his victory, which prompted Powerhouse Hobbs to respond and heap praise on the young man. Given Mark Henry’s role in AEW, Jacob has received support from other members of the roster, including Cody Rhodes and TNT Champion Sammy Guevara....

In addition to the two young defenders Ogbonna and Ranocchia, goalkeeper Michael Agazzi, midfielders Giacomo Bonaventura and Andrea Poli and forward Marco Sau were also dropped Monday. Luca Antonelli pulled out earlier Monday after having suffered an ankle injury during Friday’s friendly against San Marino, whilst Pablo Daniel Osvaldo was removed from the original 31-man roster in a disciplinary move.

First of all, you pinch yourself. The Nashville Predators are first overall in points. Then you look at what your team and coach Peter Laviolette need to make a dream season turn into a Stanley Cup. John Glennon, hockey scribe for The Tennessean of Nashville, has been around the block with this team, from its formative years in expansion to its early playoff appearances. His read: Poile, no stranger to trades, will scout for deal to make the Predators even stronger....

#1 Indianapolis Colts: 12-4 This was almost too easy of a selection for me, and it has to do with a lot more than just being a longtime Colts fan, too. After seeing what the Colts did in 2018 behind a magical season from star QB Andrew Luck, the NFL’s best offensive line (statistically), and masterful play calling from head coach Frank Reich, there is no reason why this team can’t climb their way to another division title, and possibly a top seed in the AFC, too....

Unlike last season, the destiny of the title is still not a foregone conclusion. Manchester City has the advantage but any slip up could see Liverpool claim its first league title in 30 years. Jurgen Klopp’s men are still riding the high from their extraordinary comeback against FC Barcelona in midweek and will be buzzing for the last game. It is almost certain that barring a major collapse, Tottenham Hotspur will be in the UEFA Champions League again next season as a Premier League representative....

On the other hand, Spurs will still be licking their wounds from their defeat at top-four rivals Chelsea, where they played midweek. They also lost last weekend fixture against Burnley at Turf Moor, so this is a massive game for them. Here is a look at three reasons why this game promises to be a very exciting contest. #1 The North-London Derby Factor The game between Tottenham and Arsenal is usually full of drama and nail-biting moments and this fixture promises to live up to its billing....

This cannot be said of Manchester City whose failure to keep to their own extremely high standards may prove fatal for their title defence hopes. Pep Guardiola would have been boiling with rage over how sloppiness in defence has cost the team a lot of precious points and left it trailing Jurgen Klopp’s Reds by eight points. Leicester City has continued to justify the praise they have been receiving all season with a string of great performances, and the same goes for Chelsea as well....
