Spanish football magazine Don Balon has reported Madrid are planning a blockbusting €250m move for Neymar at the end of this season that would be financed by the sales of Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema and Rafael Varane, while a piece by Diario Gol claimed Los Blancos president Florentino Perez advised Neymar to leave Barca for PSG in order to smooth a path to the Santiago Bernabeu in the long-term....

Let’s take a look at how the power outage in Super Bowl XLVII impacted the results of the game...

If getting a taste of it this past season wasn’t enough, there is now a true sense of winning within the Browns organization heading into September. They have a young quarterback in Baker Mayfield primed to take the league by storm and end the signal-caller carousel that has ravaged the team since Tim Couch.

When May 8 roles around, SN's Vinnie Iyer projects Manziel as the Browns' pick. According to Iyer: The Browns could decide to wait on their first-round QB, but it will be hard not to pull the trigger on Johnny Football without needing a "Draft Day"-like trade to do it. The question is: Should they draft Manziel? Writing in The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, Bud Shaw lays out reasons why Browns brass shouldn't treat Manziel like the flavor of the moment....

“You add Mac Jones to what New England did in the offseason, I think he’ll be ready to play Week 1,” ESPN’s Anthony “Booger” McFarland said about the pick. “You got to like what New England has done.” Several analysts pegged Jones to the 49ers at the third pick. After sliding to the 15th overall pick, the Patriots will have some competition at quarterback with Cam Newton, who resigned to a one-year deal in the offseason....

Yesterday I Googled my name. There were 7.9 million references. There’s so much crap out there about me being the Antichrist. I don’t know. This is not my cup of tea. I signed on for one season, and Simon Cowell conned me into it: “Here’s a lot of money, and it’s like ‘The Gong Show’.” I’m trying to get on a sitcom or maybe even my own show, “Travels With the Hoff....

Americans, including some in the American government, continue to underestimate the scale, intensity and aggressiveness of the Chinese dictatorship’s approach to propaganda. Americans and our allies seem to forget that the heart of the rise of the Chinese Communist Party was a deep dedication to effective education and propaganda. They have had nearly a century of experience at waging intellectual and psychological warfare as the necessary foundation of winning and keeping power....

Both Democratic House Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino in 1973 and Republican House Judicial Committee Chairman Henry Hyde in 1998 set a standard for fairness and operated with a judicial temperament of seeking the truth rather than maximizing partisan advantage. In 1973, Rodino set the gold standard for fairness. The rights of the minority party were protected. The American people’s right to know what was going on was protected. Chairman Rodino himself set a standard for fairness and seriousness as a congressman exercising constitutional oversight....

The umbrella isn’t even an umbrella, but rather a living weapon by the name of Hungern. In terms of new gameplay for the fighting game, Hungern uses a hunger mechanic where “Starving” leads to slower normals but more powerful “devouring” attacks, and “Overstuffed” leads to bonus effects when pulling something from his stomach....

Earlier this year, Sega hosted a celebratory stream announcing a litany of future projects and promotions for Sonic’s 30th birthday, in which the next Sonic game was teased. Fans did not get to see too much, the trailer showing the blue blur running through a forest as turquoise energy flows off of him, and ending with a cryptic symbol without any official name or logo. Sega trademarks and movements on Steam in the past months have pointed fans towards a title for the game, Sonic Frontiers, as well as the growing suspicion of an incoming announcement....

Juan Bernat and Neymar scored to put PSG in control in the first half in the French capital on Wednesday, before a James Milner penalty on the stroke of half-time ensured this pivotal game remained in the balance until the death. PSG knew a defeat here coupled with an unfavourable result in the night’s other Group C game could see the ambitious Qatar-owned club eliminated already. But instead it is Liverpool – beaten in each of their last five games away from Anfield in the Champions League – who now seem the more likely to miss out on the last 16....
