This time, however, it is the Saints who will be playing in front of their own fans when they host the Vikings on Sunday afternoon in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. Always a factor in the postseason, home-field advantage is particularly significant at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the the Saints have won seven of their last eight playoff games dating all the way back to 2000. Conversely, Minnesota hasn’t won a playoff game on the road since 2004 and is 2-11 on the road in the postseason dating back to 1988....

Pogba, after the 3-2 loss at Brighton & Hove, said, “My attitude was not right. It has to be a big lesson for us. They had more hunger than us. I put myself first, that my attitude wasn’t right enough. We made mistakes we shouldn’t make.” Scholes was shocked by what Pogba said after the defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion and said, “I hope that is lost in translation....

The one they chose turned out to be a convicted sex offender. Scott Foster was fired Monday from the job he had held for less than two weeks, the team confirmed to the Akron Beacon Journal . A RubberDucks spokesman declined to elaborate on the dismissal and would not say if the team conducted a background check before hiring Foster. The Indians affiliate announced Foster’s hiring on April 8, trumpeting the Akron native’s enthusiasm and energy and noting that he serves as a disc jockey for 40-50 weddings annually....

Before Championship Sunday, the network and the league were facing, of course, four possible Super Bowl 52 matchups, including the Jaguars vs. the Vikings. That one would have pitted a team from the nation’s 47th-largest TV market (Jacksonville) against one from the 15th-biggest (Minneapolis-St. Paul), with the increased risk that average viewership for the Big Game could fall below 100 million for the first time in nearly a decade....

Japan’s preparations for the tournament have been far from perfect, as they sacked coach Vahid Halilhodzic in April despite the Bosnian presiding over their successful qualification campaign – a lack of “communication and trust” cited as the Japanese Football Association’s (JFA) reason. Nishino was announced as his replacement and took charge of his first match on Wednesday, a 2-0 home loss in their World Cup send-off match against Ghana, a side who failed to qualify....

Misbah’s father-in-law was critically ill and had been admitted to hospital and placed in intensive care, a Pakistan team spokesman said in an email to Reuters on Sunday. The 42-year-old was due to leave New Zealand on Sunday evening and the spokesman said it would be “difficult” for him to return in time for the match at Seddon Park. Misbah was missing from the post-match formalities after his side lost the first test by eight wickets to New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday....

During a Department of Justice court hearing yesterday, lawyers said the likely timeline for the delivery of the apportionment numbers will be March 6 rather than January 20, according to Sarah Brannon, a managing attorney with the National American Civil Liberties Union’s Voting Rights Project. Because the COVID-19 pandemic shortened their data review timeline, the Bureau missed the original December 31 deadline and needs additional weeks to conduct its analysis....

This is apparently a big no-no in the NCAA as this was called “excessive celebration” by the referees. The touchdown was called back, and Mizzou was assessed a 15-yard penalty from the 2-yard line. The Tigers couldn’t find the endzone, and had to settle for a field goal instead. But let’s get back to that penalty call. Was that really necessary? Here’s what the rulebook says: Sure, the dive wasn’t needed and so that could be determined as attempting to “focus attention upon himself....

The MVC Presidents Council unanimously voted to extend Valparaiso an invitation, effective July 1, 2017, according to the conference. Two MVC representatives pushed for the addition of Murray State, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander, who also reported that the conference will remain at 10 teams instead of seeking further expansion. However, Missouri State’s president, Clif Smart, tweeted that the MVC’s expansion committee will continue to meet for the next nine months to evaluate further expansion opportunities....

The Democrat figureheads sent a letter to McConnell on Tuesday, urging him to negotiate with them this week in order to facilitate a bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill amid the ongoing pandemic. Following this message, McConnell indicated that his stance remains that a “targeted rescue package” should be passed—bemoaning Democrats for having rejected the prospect of slimmed down measures. “Republicans have tried for weeks to pass another targeted rescue package. It would send hundreds of billions of dollars to schools, unemployment aid, another round of the job-saving PPP, and healthcare,” he tweeted....

After having read a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into the president, McConnell said on Wednesday that it was “laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense.” “If this is the ’launching point’ for House Democrats’ impeachment process, they’ve already overplayed their hand,” the Senate Majority Leader said. In the hours following the White House’s release of a rough transcript of the phone call, in which Trump can clearly be seen pressing Ukraine’s leader to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, McConnell still appeared unmoved....

“HE didn’t do anything.” “No intensity whatsoever.” “Resembled an Egyptian mummy”. These were some of the anecdotes used by the who’s who of cricket including Shane Warne, Ian Chappell, Tony Cozier, Fazeer Mohammed and Ian Healy. The habit of the Aussie clan to attack whosoever tries to penetrate their territory notwithstanding, Mitchell Johnson, the recently retired Aussie quick, has come to Samuels’ rescue. Samuels has been accused to have a laid-back attitude, being the least concerned about the team’s issues, and having absolutely no intensity to help the team’s cause....

Prosecutors in New York have convened a grand jury as part of a criminal investigation into Trump and his business practices, The Washington Post first reported this week. Although Trump and his business—the Trump Organization—have been under investigation for some time, legal experts have said the convening of a grand jury demonstrates the seriousness of the charges being considered. But Romney and other Republicans are skeptical that the investigation or any possible charges will have much influence on GOP voters....

Rodgers: Too much money harming Rashford The Armenia international arrived at Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund with high expectations after being named the Bundesliga Players’ Player of the Year for 2015-16. He struggled to adapt, though, and was hauled off at half-time on his first start for the club, a 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester City, after which Mourinho said Mkhitaryan was guilty of turning in a “really poor individual performance”....

Man Utd to win & Lukaku to score first 9/2 It marks a stark contrast to Mkhitaryan’s fortunes at the start of last season following his move from Borussia Dortmund, with manager Jose Mourinho dropping him from the side for several weeks after a poor display in the Manchester derby defeat at Old Trafford in October....
