For NFL fans it has all come down to this. Two superstar players must enter, but only one can have the dubious honor of being crowned the Madden NFL 13 cover athlete. Will your teams’ star player win and thus be put on injury watch, or will he narrowly miss becoming the next Peyton Hillis and instead become Aaron Rodgers? The largest Madden cover vote has finally entered its home stretch, and it’s down to last year’s Rookie of the Year, Cam Newton, and a guy who’s been nicknamed Megatron....

Same feeling Ohio State, Stanford and USC have choked down, too. See where this is headed? Life as a College Football Playoff favorite hasn’t been good to anyone. But before these teams pack it in, understand this: this is why the sport changed from the BCS to the CFP. We’re going to say it over and over every week until it sinks in. If we’re going strictly by the eye test — and that’s essentially what the 13-member selection committee will do — none of these one-loss teams is out of the hunt....

The third-year Colts running back has been ruled out for Thursday’s game vs. Denver as he deals with a right ankle injury and lingering turf toe issue that limited him to 42 yards on 20 carries in a Week 4 loss to the Colts. It also forced him to miss Indianapolis’ Sept. 27 practice, reportedly his first missed practice that dates back to high school. Though Taylor appeared at the team’s walkthrough portion of practice on Tuesday, he did not participate during warm-ups and wore a protective walking boot, per The Indianapolis Star....

Marian Hossa had his career come to a bizarre end. Corey Crawford has been injured. Some of the Blackhawks’ top players have gotten older. Their attempt to put the band back together has not gone as planned with Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp struggling to make a significant impact. And there’s another elephant in the room that really hasn’t been addressed much: The simple fact that some of Chicago’s top players have performed below expectations....

With the Blue Jays’ reported re-signing of Bautista to a one-year, $18 million deal, it reaffirmed the one thing we already knew about both parties: Much like your friendly neighborhood superhero and his black Venom suit, the relationship between Bautista and the Blue Jays is symbiotic. Obviously, Bautista’s anger isn’t amplified by a fantastical space organism molded onto a super-suit like in the comic books, but the connection between Toronto and the web-slinger is too strong to pass up....

Chelsea confirmed their place among the last 16 in the Champions League despite their 1-0 defeat to Basel, but Jose Mourinho will be desperately unhappy with their performance. It was a concerning display from the London club’s perspective and the Blues were poor in every department. Considering Chelsea’s failings throughout the match, the Portuguese coach’s decision to leave Juan Mata on the bench was rather peculiar. The Spaniard has fallen behind Eden Hazard and Oscar in the pecking order since Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge and remained an unused sub against the Swiss side....

Donaldson said something during those encounters that crossed a line in the minds of Anderson and his team. MORE: Anderson takes umbrage with Donaldson’s tag Anderson told reporters after the game that Donaldson more than once called him “Jackie,” as in Jackie Robinson, which Anderson did not appreciate. “He made the comment and it was disrespectful,” Anderson said. “I don’t think it was called for, it was unnecessary.” Donaldson acknowledged making the comment in the first inning, but he saw it as an inside joke between the two....
