Raiders Beat Chiefs On Final Play In Craziest Ending Of NFL Season
Who said the NFL wasn’t entertaining? The Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders disproved that theory Thursday night when the two AFC West rivals dueled past the final second of the game. Confused? Here’s what we mean. The Chiefs led the Raiders 30-24 with under two minutes to go when QB Derek Carr got the ball back at the Raiders’ 15-yard line. Carr drove the Raiders down the field and hit tight end Jared Cook for what appeared to be a 29-yard touchdown with 18 seconds remaining. But while it initially was ruled a touchdown, the officials reviewed the play and marked Cook down at the 1-yard line. And since Cook was tackled in
Zero to hero: Nakagami wins pole shootout on home soil
Takaaki Nakagami (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia) will start from pole for his home Grand Prix after an incredible final shootout in qualifying at the Motul Grand Prix of Japan, snatching the honour from Alex Marquez (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) on his final push as conditions went from marginal to slicks within the session. The Japanese rider had been well outside the top twenty in the initial stages but bounced back in style. Marquez starts from P2 after recovering from an early throttle problem, ahead of Xavi Vierge (Tech 3 Racing), who was another to time his attack to perfection - taking his first front row start.

Barber Motorsports Park braces for big MotoAmerica finale
If you think the Superstock 600 title chase is close, how does one point between three riders sound? That’s the situation in the KTM RC Cup, which will race for the final time this weekend as it becomes the Junior Cup next season and not a spec-class. With his four wins, Quarterley Racing/On Track Development’s Benjamin Smith comes into Barber tied for the championship lead with three-time winner Cory Ventura. That’s right, tied. But it gets better. JP43 Junior Team’s Alex Dumas, the hottest rider in the series with four straight wins, comes to Alabama just one point behind the other two. One point. That run for the title will go down to the final lap of the final race
Celtics’ Final Haul From 2013 Nets Trade Truly Is A Sight To Behold
Of all the crazy ramifications of Tuesday’s blockbuster trade between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, here’s one that might get overlooked: The Celtics no longer have a vested interest in the failure of the Brooklyn Nets. The Celtics acquired Kyrie Irving from the Cavs by dealing Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Nets’ 2018 first-round draft pick. That Nets pick was Boston’s final direct asset from its 2013 mega deal with Brooklyn that sent Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett out of town — a trade that’s widely regarded as one of the most lopsided in NBA history. Just how lopsided, you ask? With the book officially closed ... NESN.com
