Reports in Germany suggest star midfielder James has grown impatient with a lack of opportunities amid the club’s unconvincing start under their new head coach. The 27-year-old Colombia international has started two of six matches in the Bundesliga and was brought on beyond the hour mark in the midweek Champions League draw with Ajax, after which it was claimed he stormed off from Allianz Arena. Those reports and a troubling three-match winless run have added up to a testing period for Kovac, who deflected talk of a crisis and assured James his time will come....

Robert Lewandowski, who scored Bayern’s equalizer after Freiburg shocked the visitors by taking a third-minute lead, missed a great injury-time chance and Leon Goretzka then struck the post for Bayern. The end of Bayern’s six-game winning run in the league allowed Dortmund to seize the lead by two points ahead of the sides’ potentially league-deciding clash in Munich next weekend. “We have to win to stay in the race, which is annoying because we had done so well to catch up,” said Bayern coach Niko Kovac, whose side was trailing by nine points earlier in the season....

After an eventful summer that saw Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Perisic arrive at the club, the Bavarians have endured a less than impressive start to the season. However, they are still unbeaten in the league, winning 2 and drawing 2 of their 4 games in the Bundesliga this season and are currently 4th in the table. The game against Red Star Belgrade represented a different challenge for Bayern. Kovac knew that he could not take any chances against the Serbian side and named a strong team for the tie....

The Croatian international will sign a one-year loan deal and it has been reported that the Bavarians will have an option to purchase the player permanently for a fee believed to be in the region of €20 million. In case you didn’t know… Bayern Munich have been on the lookout for a pair of wingers, after two long-standing servants in Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben departed the club this summer....

The result mean Bayern are German league champions for the 28th time in their history, and it was the sixth year in a row they have won the Bundesliga since their treble-winning season in 2013. Augsburg took a shock lead through an own goal by Niklas Suele, but the Bavarians roared back as Corentin Tolisso, James – who then assisted Arjen Robben – and Sandro Wagner all scored. The result leaves Bayern 20 points clear with five league games left and underlined their absolute dominance of the Bundesliga....

On the February 5, 2021 episode of WWE SmackDown, Bayley took on Ruby Soho in a singles match. Soho used to go by the moniker of “Ruby Riott” back then. The Role Model noticed a fan’s tweet remembering the match, and couldn’t help but brag about her win. At first, it seemed like she was praising Soho, but she finished off the tweet by boasting about beating the AEW star....

“Play for each other, don’t do anything — don’t do anything — that wouldn’t bring honor to your teammates,” Grobe said as his voice ticked up. “That’s the key.” MORE: Biggest overreactions to Week 1 That 15 seconds doesn’t erase the three-month aftermath of the school’s mishandling of sexual assault allegations that led to the firing of Art Briles, who compiled a 65-37 record over nine seasons. As each grotesque detail comes to light, Baylor takes another punch via social media, and for one sole reason: The Bears didn’t do enough for those nameless victims....

If the Bears continue on their current pace, they will lead that conversation. Baylor has scored at least 69 points in every game this season. The Bears average 432.3 yards passing and 347.2 yards rushing. Baylor is going to challenge NCAA records for both points and yards. What's it going to take to break those marks? Get out your calculators: POINTS PER GAME Baylor: 71.0 points per game The record: Army, led by Maxwell Award winner Glenn Davis, scored 56....

“You don’t expect Baylor to be in this kind of game.” This statement would have had a completely different meaning just five years ago. MORE: Top 25 roundup | Best performances | Week 6 photos In 2009 it would have meant you didn’t expect the Bears to be competing in a game, let alone against the mighty Texas Longhorns, the program with a stranglehold on the Big XII. That year, the second for both Art Briles and Robert Griffin III in Waco, the Bears went 4-8 and lost to Mack Brown’s second-ranked Longhorns, 47-14....

As it turns out, Elden Ring isn’t the only big Japanese action title that’s been tightly under wraps for years. Platinum Games’ much-anticipated Bayonetta 3 has also apparently been devoid of news for quite a long time, and neither Platinum, Sega, or Nintendo seem keen on showing any more of the Switch game until it has a firm release date. Elden Ring was first revealed at Microsoft’s 2019 E3 press conference on June 9th, while Bayonetta 3 was first shown a year and a half earlier at the 2017 Game Awards....

Speaking to CNN-IBN, BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said that RCA has been suspended and BCCI will now appoint a new committee to run cricket in the state. Lalit Modi was announced the winner of RCA polls by Supreme Court observers, causing BCCI much embarrassment since it ousted him after many IPL controversies came to surface, leading to a life ban from the apex cricket body last year. Modi has since been living in a self-imposed exile in London....

With rumors floating around about the possibility of Rahul Dravid taking over from Ravi Shastri on a full-time basis as the coach of the Indian team, the timing of the availability of the post is a huge giveaway. The post reportedly involves the responsibility of overseeing a pool of 25-30 people, with 12 people reporting to the head regarding progress, recovery and other aspects. The NCA head will be required to report to the BCCI Secretary Jay Shah as well....

A Hindi news channel in Uttar Pradesh telecast an alleged phone conversation between Akram Saifi, an executive assistant of Shukla, and cricketer Rahul Sharma in which Saifi is heard seeking favours in “cash and kind” to ensure Sharma’s selection in the state team. Shukla is currently the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) Secretary. “We have taken note of the sting and will examine the entire matter. We will be asking the channel for the audio and also examine the player involved....

A season ago, after that stirring win over City, we took four points from two matches against them, including a convincing 0-2 win at the Etihad. Could this win over Chelsea unlock a similar change in our fortunes? Last season, we managed just one point against them. The confidence we’ve earned going forward could be incalculable. Then again, while we’ve won the Community Shield, we have to wonder, have we slain a giant or awoken one?...

Vacations mean close confinement with loved ones, hence thoughts of murder and mayhem. So, first, the greatest crime novel (“Crime and Punishment” is something else) is George V. Higgins’s “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” (1972). The best spy novel by the best writer of such is Eric Ambler’s “A Coffin for Dimitrios” (1937). For a comic turn on crime, try the effortless excellence of Donald Westlake’s “Baby, Would I Lie?...

Now the All-Star guard is looking to carry his hot shooting into March with the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference up for grabs.

In a video out of Finland, a young bear cub is seen playing in snow for the very first time at a sanctuary. The footage from last month was posted by Pasi Jantti, a bearkeeper, and shows the bear playing around with Kuusamo Predator Center’s Sulo Karjalainen who is known in Finland as “The bearman,” according to Storyful. The bear, whose name is Aina, was found in the yard of a house in May and its mother was nowhere to be found, Jantti told Storyful....
