‘I don’t need discipline objectives’ — Bears’ Matt Nagy extra nervous
When requested if he was anxious to see Eddy Pineiro kick discipline objectives Thursday, Bears coach Nagy stated, half-kidding, that he hoped it didn’t come to that. “I want to see a lot of extra points — I don’t want field goals,” he stated Tuesday. “And that’s nothing in opposition to him. That’s simply the mindset we've got of an offense. “If he will get an opportunity to go on the market, then see him actually have that confidence going on the market and placing it.” He stated Pineiro has “just been himself” all through the kicker derby. “He has a happy-go-lucky attitude — he shows that after he makes his kicks,” Nagy stated.

Isaiah Thomas, John Wall Both Know Celtics, Wizards Don’t Like Each Other
The Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards clearly don’t like each other. The two teams exchanged unpleasantries throughout the regular season, and the rivalry has boiled over into their Eastern Conference semifinals series. While the first two games at TD Garden were physical, they didn’t hold a candle to Game 3 at the Verizon Center on Thursday night.

Rossi: “We don‘t have the feeling or enough confidence”

The GoPro Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland got off to a difficult start, a damp and cold track resulting in a terrible first day for Yamaha. Free Practice 1 was cut short by spots of rain, Rossi electing to remain in the pits rather than go back out in the wet. The second session of the day began in similar circumstances, Rossi not waiting around this time. Despite improving his FP1 time by 0.757s, ‘The Doctor’ concluded Friday in 14th overall....

It looks as though the NFL rumor mill got a little ahead of itself on a potential Colin Kaepernick trade. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the San Francisco 49ers had agreed in principle to trade the quarterback to the Denver Broncos, but ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported that’s not entirely true. A source told Florio on Sunday that talk of a deal being close was overstated because “someone wanted it out there.” The original report stated the Broncos and Kaepernick were trying to work out a way to reduce the signal-caller’s $ 11.9 million base salary, which became guaranteed Friday, and that was the only thing holding the dea...
