Evans was set to miss Tampa Bay’s Week 3 game against the Packers as a result of his suspension. The discipline was dealt to him by Jon Runyan, the NFL’s Vice President of the Policy and Rules administration. Runyan’s son — Jon Runyan Jr. — plays for the Packers. So, naturally, the conclusion was that Ruyan Sr. had given Evans the one-game ban in an effort to help his son’s team win against what is thought to be one of the NFC’s best squads....

Jones passed Martin Truex Jr., who finished second, on the final lap to take the lead and record his first ever win in the Cup series. AJ Allmendinger was third, with Kasey Kahne and Chris Buescher rounding out the top five. The win for Jones, 22, was a landmark moment for the Michigan-born driver, as he broke through to claim the victory in his first season and 57th start with Joe Gibbs racing....

Henderson was suspended after a late tackle against Manchester City, has arguably been the club’s most improved player this season and has earned a starting place for England as heads into the World Cup in Brazil this summer. The Englishman played a key part in Liverpool’s charge to a tense title fight with Manchester City, which they ultimately came second in. However, his presence and drive in midfield has played a huge role in their success this season, earning him a place in the England squad....

Surprise 1-0 winners over Australia last time out, a well-organised and dangerous Jordan can secure a stranglehold on first with another three points in Al Ain on Thursday. Syria, though, have plenty to prove after a frustrating 0-0 draw with a 10-man Palestine left Stange’s side with plenty of work to do if they are to secure a top-two spot. Their hopes of emerging victorious have been hurt by the injury withdrawal of winger Osama Omari, and the resilience of a Jordan team tipped to go deep into the competition will be put to the test as neighbouring nations go head-to-head....

Schweinsteiger was asked to leave the club by Mourinho since he doesn’t fit into his plans. Furthermore, it became a controversy when the German was forced to vacate his first-team locker and train with the Manchester United U-23 reserves. Rubbing salt in the wound, the former Germany captain was excluded from Mourinho’s 25-man squad for the friendly against Galatasaray in Gothenburg and was not included in the 22 for Wayne Rooney’s testimonial with Everton at Old Trafford....

But on the other side of the same coin is the fact that Spurs have looked a shadow of their former selves this season. More importantly, Pochettino seemed to have lost his command over the Spurs dressing room since the beginning of the ongoing season. This also had a lot to do with the fact that some of Spurs’ best players from last season were neither given contract extensions or allowed to leave for greener pastures in the summer....

It all started when Arsene Wenger declared that it was Chelsea’s title to lose, and Mourinho was afraid of failing. “It is very open, only Chelsea can lose it now because they are in front and all the other teams can win it. I’ve always said many teams are in it and it will be very tight until the end. It’s a fear to fail. If you’re not in the race you cannot lose it, if you declare yourself not in the race you cannot lose it, simple as that,” said Wenger....

The Browns receiver has been placed on the active/non-football injury list, according to ESPN, due to a quadriceps injury that will cause him to miss the first few weeks of training camp. SEASON PREVIEW: AFC picks | NFC picks | Super Bowl pick Gordon, who missed the entire 2015 season after being suspended for multiple drug policy violations, was reinstated Monday by the NFL on a conditional basis. He will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season, but was expected to fully participate with his Browns teammates in camp, which begins Thursday....

I was reminded of this sometimes difficult balancing act last Friday night when I saw the edited version of this week’s Newsweek cover story on John McCain. I wrote the story, with reporting from a half-dozen colleagues. Generally, Newsweek stories are collective efforts, and I usually share a byline at the top of the story with one or two reporters and several more in the tag line at the end of the story....

The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard drew massive viewer numbers. Those numbers were so big in fact, that the attorneys involved in the trial became celebrities themselves to some degree. That is especially true of the attorneys that were on the winning side like Chew and Vasquez. With that case over, the two celebrity attorneys could already have their next client.

Kenseth, who won a series-high seven races, ran up front all season and led the standings after seven of the final 11 races. Had he not faltered at Talladega and Phoenix during the Chase, Kenseth would have won his second championship.

Who will have the best season between Johnson and Kenseth — the top two drivers from 2013?...

Mike Johnston, formerly the coach and general manager of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks, has agreed on a three-year deal with the team. TSN’s Darren Dreger was first with the news. This comes less than a week after general manager Jim Rutherford said that the team had its guy, only to have late-stage negotiations fall through. Willie Desjardins took the Canucks job the next day. The Desjardins episode was, in short, something of a mess, largely because it ensured that whoever took the job would do so after publicly being marked as Pittsburgh’s second (or third) choice....
