With over 260 UEFA Champions League – as well as more than 330 international – appearances between them, there can be little doubt that Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Casillas are two of the greatest keepers in European history (indeed they share the continental record of 167 international caps). As Juventus are taking on Porto in the round of 16 next month, it seemed an appropriate time to take a look at the pair in action ...

Patriots Vs. Steelers Live: Score, Highlights, Analysis Of AFC Championship Game
Share this: 8 a.m. ET: The New England Patriots are one game away from their ninth Super Bowl appearance, and winning won’t come nearly as easy as it did last week. The Patriots take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at 6:40 p.m. in the AFC Championship Game. Because the Patriots earned home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, the conference title game will be played at Gillette Stadium. The Steelers will pose the biggest threat to the Patriots since the Seattle Seahawks came to Foxboro, Mass. in Week 10 and beat New England. The Patriots’ defense has a chance to silence critics by shutting down Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Pittsburgh’s offense. The Patriots ranked first in the NFL in points allowed this season, but
Courtney Lee Says Wizards Coach On Floor Distracted Him During Final Play
Share this: Courtney Lee is crying foul after the New York Knicks’ loss to the Washington Wizards, but not for anything the Wizards players did on the court. The Knicks needed a 3-pointer to tie the score on their final possession Thursday night, and Lee appeared to have a chance when Carmelo Anthony found him open in the corner. But rather than take the shot, Lee pump-faked and drove before passing the ball back out. It wasn’t a smart play, as New York didn’t even get a shot up to take a 113-110 loss. But after the game, Lee made an interesting claim: that Wizards assistant coach Sidney Lowe distracted him by tricking the Knicks guard into thinking he was a player. “I thought it
NBA All-Star Starters Snubs: Russell Westbrook, Isaiah Thomas Disrespected By Vo…
Share this: The NBA tried a new process to select the starters for the Eastern and Western Conference teams for next month’s All-Star Game. It failed. Fifty percent of the vote came from the fans, with 25 percent each going to the players and media. Early reports suggest the players didn’t take it very seriously. Brice Johnson got two player votes. He has literally never played an NBA game. — Fred Katz (@FredKatz) January 20, 2017 Here’s a breakdown of the voting. The starters were named Thursday. So, which players were snubbed? Let’s take a look at the most glaring omissions. Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City ThunderStephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and James Harden of the Houston Rockets are the starting guards for the West. Harden
Pedro Gomez Gets Roasted On Twitter For His Baseball Hall Of Fame Ballot
Share this: It’s that time of year when members of the Baseball Writers Association of America are casting their ballots for the Baseball Hall of Fame and, as always, controversy ensues. ESPN’s Pedro Gomez is the latest BBWAA member to be scrutinized for his ballot, which was released on Twitter on Monday. While one could make the argument that the four players Gomez voted for are worthy of the honor, it’s the players he omitted that caused a stir amongst fellow baseball writers. Pedro Gomez gave Jay Bell and Bill Mueller Hall of Fame votes. That tells you all you need to know about his view of Hall of Fame votes. — Craig Calcaterra (@craigcalcaterra) January 16, 2017 Judging from his ballot, it appears Gomez has
Mike Tomlin Called The Patriots A Bad Word In Steelers Post-Victory Speech
Share this: Each week after a Patriots win, the team’s website posts a video from New England’s locker room showing the players coming off the field and a snippet of both Bill Belichick’s postgame speech and a team captain breaking down the team in a huddle. The segment is heavily edited because grown adults and especially football players and coaches use profane language that some might be offended by. The public got to hear Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s full remarks after Pittsburgh advanced to face the Patriots in the AFC Championship after beating the Kansas City Chiefs because wide receiver Antonio Brown decided to stream a Facebook Live video to his account. Tomlin used a bad word to describe the Patriots, which isn’t
