Bosingwa has thanked QPR following the “extremely difficult” season and wished them well for the future. The 30-year-old Portugal defender has had a tumultous time in the recent months, clashing with none other than manager Harry Redknapp and was booed by the club fans following his transfer to Loftus Road from Chelsea. A Champions League winner at both Porto and Chelsea, his nadir was when he refused to be a substitute in the game against Fulham....
The striker is yet to score a goal for Chelsea in 323 minutes of action. He may have come on a free transfer, but he is one of the highest earning players in the squad at a salary of £7 million. Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho said, “The player I know, the professional I know…what happened in Russia in the last two-and-a-half years I didn’t know. “Normally when a top player is one of the top players in Europe and then goes to Anzhi, the pressure goes down, the motivation and physical condition and sharpness goes down....
Allen played the full game in the Bills’ 33-27 overtime loss, but he wasn’t at full strength for a good chunk of the fourth quarter and OT. He was hurt while being tackled at the end of a 23-yard run to the Tampa Bay 15 five minutes into the fourth quarter. He limped back to the huddle and then threw a touchdown pass on the next play to cut Buffalo’s deficit to 27-17....
Hawley, who is from Missouri, has fallen 9 percentage points among Republicans in his state, while Cruz, a Texan, saw his rating drop 5 points. Among all voters, Hawley’s approval rating dropped from 42 percent to just 36 percent, while Cruz’s went from 48 percent to 45 percent. The state surveys were conducted by Morning Consult and compared the senators’ approval ratings with results from a poll that ended on January 5, a day before the riot, to a poll that ended January 18....
The Patriots offensive coordinator said reports claiming he is gunning for Belichick’s job “are unfounded,” according to the Boston Herald. The reports began circulating after McDaniels’ name wasn’t included on a new list of possible head coaching candidates compiled by the NFL’s Career Development Advisory Panel. According to an unidentified source cited by Pro Football Talk, McDaniels’ name wasn’t included because it was understood he wanted Belichick’s job once he retired....

Hy-Wire got a fair amount of attention at last fall’s Paris Auto Show because it uses environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel cells. But its youthful appeal comes from a more arresting feature. It has no steering wheel, no brake pedal, no clutch or stick shift. Instead, it has a single control pad like something you’d expect to see tethered to a Nintendo GameCube. Of the handful of people who’ve test driven the car, the younger ones appear to take to it naturally....
“Johnny really wanted to go to the Red Sox,” Cueto’s agent Bryce Dixon told Peter Gammons’ website. “His idol is Pedro Martinez. He wanted to be with him. When he threw the shutout in the World Series, one of the first things he said was, ‘Did Pedro ever throw a game like that in the postseason?” MORE: Top 15 remaining MLB free agents Cueto’s chances of signing with Boston were virtually washed away when the Red Sox signed former Rays, Tigers and Blue Jays ace David Price to a mega-deal....
One minute he was leading by six shots. Two holes later, he was leading by two. For all that went wrong, Johnson knew everything was right with his game. There was no need to panic, and he didn’t. Johnson responded from his double bogey on the 10th hole with two straight birdies. He made two more birdies sandwiched around an up-and-down par from 105 yards, and he wound up with a 5-under 66 that gave him a four-shot lead over Rory McIlroy going into the final round....
That was evident at the end of his press conference on Monday night, after he had been awarded the Finals MVP award. He scored 39 points in Game 5 to clinch a Golden State title, the first championship of Durant’s career. After wrapping up the final question, Durant joked that he was talking too much. “I had a couple too many beers,” he said. “I haven’t had a beer since February....
That all changed when David Production’s anime series went into full swing, covering all of Jojo’s parts up to Stone Ocean thus far. Now the series can be found everywhere. Yet, with just two parts left to animate, there’s a risk the well could run dry. Luckily, there are side works that could fill the void, including novels! Here are seven Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure books fans would love to see animated....
This is not the first time Jones has expressed his displeasure with the money the UFC has offered him. In May last year, he raised similar concerns and hinted at the UFC’s reluctance to pay him more. And that was when Mike Tyson chimed in to support the former light heavyweight kingpin. Tyson reflected on UFC’s inability to pay their fighters handsomely. The 53-year-old said even though the UFC is more popular than boxing, the promotion would still not be able to match boxing financially:...
Control of the Senate will be decided in two runoff elections in Georgia on January 5 and the Republican candidates—Senators Perdue and Kelly Loeffler—are seeking to depict themselves as a bulwark against the Democrats’ agenda. However, this framing suggests that a GOP majority in the Senate will be necessary to curb former Vice President Joe Biden’s agenda after his inauguration next year. That idea contrasts sharply with the Trump campaign’s continued efforts to challenge election results and the president’s refusal to concede....
“I think he’s the greatest coach of all-time in college basketball,” Vitale told Sporting News. “Obviously I have tremendous respect for John Wooden . . . but it’s been a whole different era.” Krzyzewski never will match the 10 NCAA championships Wooden won during his career at UCLA. We can say that definitively now with reports circulating that “Coach K” will serve as Duke’s coach only one more season before entering retirement....
Aaron Jones ran for career highs of 145 yards and two scores, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams connected for two touchdown passes and the Green Bay beat the Miami Dolphins 31-12 on Sunday. The Packers (4-4-1) pulled away in the second half, sandwiching scoring drives around cornerback Bashaud Breeland’s interception deep in Miami territory. Green Bay went ahead 28-12 on Adams’ 25-yard touchdown catch with 7:24 left in the third quarter....
The centre-back missed the 4-1 win over Newcastle United last Saturday after aggravating a thigh problem while on England duty, with Mourinho later blasting Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate for allegedly allowing Jones to receive six painkilling injections in order to start the friendly against Germany. Jones missed training before United travelled to Switzerland and Mourinho expects him to sit out both the match at St. Jakob Park and the visit of Chris Hughton’s side in the Premier League on Saturday....
The girl had a water birth, which is quite common in countries like England and the United States of America (USA) but not so in India. The process of giving a water birth is said to be less stressful for the mother. Rhodes, who scored 2532 runs in 52 Tests & 5935 runs in 245 ODIs and was considered one of the greatest fielders there’s ever been during his playing days, played his last international match for the Proteas in 2003....
