Roma boss Jose Mourinho raged at the performance of his side and the officials after a 3-1 loss to Milan at San Siro, before revealing he turned down the opportunity to manage the Rossoneri in 2019.

Roma were 2-0 down inside a dismal opening 15 minutes, while a shambolic end to the match saw their defenders Rick Karsdorp and Gianluca Mancini sent off.

Mourinho, while furious at the nature of Roma s collapse, also sought to apportion blame to the officials, who awarded Milan two penalties. The first was scored by Olivier Giroud, while the latter saw Rui Patricio save from substitute Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The quality of the performance was not good,  Mourinho said. We gave away the ball so easily, our performance level was so low, but we were still in the …

If I’ve learned anything about NFL survivor pool picks through three weeks of the 2021 season, it’s not to get cute.

I’ve made three selections based on the best survivor pool strategies out there, but those selections have had the lifespan of a carnival goldfish.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are fresh off a bye week and flying to the West Coast to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Despite struggling to move the ball on offense, the Steelers are 3-2 and will aim to upset a Rams squad that is 3-3 and coming off a lopsided victory vs. the Cardinals.

Everything is on the line this weekend and with injuries and weather reports affecting a lot of possible NFL odds production, it’s important to take some time with your anytime TD bets. It’s not just about finding the highest probable plane-breakers, it’s also about finding what’s not priced in and getting the best number week after week all the way until the Super Bowl odds are decided.

For the Wild Card odds, I’m taking a bit of risk with a backup TE who is returning to the lineup while the starter is hopefully out, backing the better value in Tampa with a receiver, and taking the value that the spread and weather are giving me in Buffalo.  

Here are my three best NFL picks for the Wild Card TD props.

Any parent, sibling, friend, coach, or teacher who has ever interacted with anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 is well aware that teenagers can be the most infuriating people on the planet.

Why? Because they know just enough about life to be dangerous.

NFL bettors share a similar state of mind with those fresh-faced, know-it-all teens in Week 3. After watching and wagering on two weeks of NFL action, they think they’ve got it all figured out.

Well, I’ll tell you what I told my teenage son when he said he knew better: “What you don’t know could fill a book.” And in the case of NFL Week 3 odds, a sportsbook. More specifically, the sportsbooks’ pockets.

If Week 2 wasn’t already a harsh lesson for the betting pub…

Premier League clubs are in discussions over joining an advertising boycott of companies that fail to promote inclusion and diversity, part of a new front in the battle against online abuse.

The pressure group Stop Funding Hate is talking with top-flight and EFL clubs over the possibility of signing up to the Conscious Advertising Network (CAN), which seeks to stop advertisers funding companies that “fuel hatred”. It follows the arrest this week of a 12-year-old boy after racist messages were sent to Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha on Instagram.

The push for a more ethical approach to advertising comes after the success of the Stop Hate for Profit campaign in the United States. Over the past month more than 100…

England manager Roy Hodgson has revealed he would be happy to qualify for the 2014 World Cup via the playoffs.

Draws against Ukraine and Poland have seen his new-look side fall two points behind Group H leaders Montenegro, but the former Liverpool manager said he would be satisfied to reach Brazil by any means necessary should the Three Lions not secure top spot in the group.

England welcome the Samba boys to Wembley in February to celebrate the FA s 150th anniversary, before travelling to San Marino and the group leaders.

And Hodgson admitted that finishing in the top two is now the priority.

If we don t succeed in being number one, I d be more than happy to go into the playoffs, he told the BBC.

The important thing is we get one of those two …
