    Injuries: Eddie Lacy to miss several weeks; Big Ben out
    Eddie Lacy made headlines Sunday with his pair of hurdles in a disappointing loss to Dallas. He's back in the news Tuesday, but not for good reason. After coach Mike McCarthy said that the Packers running back would not practice Tuesday due to ankle soreness, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Lacy could miss several weeks, not just Thursday night's game against the Bears.  Rapoport added that Lacy's ailment is "more than a sprained ankle." Lacy was a question mark before Sunday's c..

    Charles Barkley: Golden State Warriors still a flawed team even with Kevin Durant
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Charles Barkley didn't want Kevin Durant to join the Golden State Warriors and isn't sure Durant changes things now that he's there.In Barkley's mind, the Warriors are still a flawed team."Let me say this: I still think they got some of the same issues this year with that team," Barkley said Tuesday."Can they rebound the ball?

    Pep Guardiola Needs to Beat Barcelona to Confirm the Dominance of His Methods
    Some interesting things happened the last time Pep Guardiola managed a visiting team at the Camp Nou. Barcelona had less of the ball than the opposition—then just the second time in 442 games that that had happened—while Bayern Munich, Guardiola’s team, failed to register a shot on target. And the Catalans' decisive goal in the 77th minute, the first in a 3-0 win, came after his goalkeeper had tried to play out from the back and given the ball away. It was as if everything he thought he had kno..

    Slumping Cubs looking at shattered dreams
    LOS ANGELES -- Beforehand, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo all but promised to hit better. “I will,” Rizzo said. “The law of averages says I’m due.” Shortstop Addison Russell made an adjustment, becoming more relaxed with his hands in his setup. Manager Joe Maddon changed his lineup, dropping Rizzo from third to fourth and Russell from fifth to seventh while elevating Javier Baez from sixth to fifth. And  ... nothing. The Cubs were shut out for the second straight game in the Nationa..

    Cavs starters couldn't survive a half together, team loses 96-91 to Wizards
    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Cavs got the band back together for all of about 16 minutes this preseason. That's approximately how long all five starters from Cleveland's 2016 NBA championship team were in uniform together for a game, thanks to J.R. Smith's signing of a four-year, $57 million deal Saturday. It was supposed to be coach Tyronn Lue's first and only chance to use the Cavs' main players as a true dress rehearsal for the upcoming season. Instead, it turned into a 96-91 loss to the Washingto..
