Ibrahimovic, who returned for a second spell at the club this week, made his first Serie A performance in 2974 days as a second-half substitute at San Siro. The 38-year-old saw a header saved by Emil Audero but was generally starved of service as Milan controlled possession but failed to offer enough cutting edge in attack. Pioli now hopes the players can get used to having Ibrahimovic in the side in order to make the most of his goalscoring threat....

“The guys they have got a lot of skills, every single one of them. But it is also temperament and decision making under pressure. Once you walk out there, there are 40,000 people screaming, you are up against one of the best teams going around,” he told reporters at the post-match press conference. “Pressure does funny things, it is about living it. You still don’t understand what pressure is… then the enormity of the situation, the enormity of the circumstances they are playing in over here some times can get the better of them....

Stars that year included Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Matt Ryan, Calvin Johnson and many more. While the Longhorns and Trojans were fitting championship contenders, it would have been even more fun to see other schools with an equal shot in a playoff format. So, we’ve decided to run a full, in-depth 32-team bracket based on the 2005 campaign using “NCAA Football 06” with rosters carefully programmed with real names, attributes and appearances....

Spurs star Danny Rose was allegedly targeted in the Three Lions’ 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifying win, with Raheem Sterling and Callum Hudson-Odoi both addressing the issue post-match. Ahead of facing Klopp’s Liverpool on Sunday, Pochettino condemned the incident and, while offering his support to Rose, suggested the problem is far more widespread than football. “[Rose] is OK,” Pochettino told a news conference. “We wanted always from the beginning to show support, not only support to him but to Sterling and other people who feel [the abuse]....

Leverkusen could only manage a goalless draw at the Vincente Calderon on Wednesday as Atletico advanced to the quarter-finals 4-2 on aggregate. Oblak proud of Atletico feat Leno and his team-mates were left ruing their efforts in the opening leg last month, which left them with too great a hurdle to overcome. However, goalkeeper Leno - who made two fine saves to deny Angel Correa and Koke in the first half - said Leverkusen could walk away with their heads held high....

People in the Hatcher Mountain, Shagbark/Preserve and Little Valley areas, as well as people living near those areas, have been ordered by the Sevier County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) to evacuate, WBIR reported. One shelter has already been opened at the Pigeon Forge Community Center, and more may be established if they are needed, according to the county’s EMA. The Sevier County EMA initially ordered people in the immediate area around Hatcher Mountain Road and Indigo Lane, where the fire broke out, to evacuate....

The American carded an eight-under 64 in the second round at Detroit Golf Club in Michigan on Friday to climb to 12 under at the PGA Tour event. Simpson already has two wins in 2020 — including at the RBC Heritage in his last start — and shares a one-stroke lead with Chris Kirk (65). The 2012 U.S. Open champion, Simpson produced a bogey-free second round that included eight birdies....

The biggest decision is which former NL Cy Young winner to take in the Max Scherzer-Jacob deGrom duel. We could opt for “neither” and pay up even more for Gerrit Cole (probably the smarter play, actually), but we’re hoping Scherzer’s high price and tough matchup drives his ownership down a bit. Martin Perez is a pretty obvious SP2 choice given his relatively affordable price and matchup, so we might be running into the same problem as last night where our pitchers were too highly owned....

Between the absence of the preseason and injuries to key contributors, there are plenty of worries this week. That’s not to say that these players will be total duds, but there is something about their matchups or roles that doesn’t look favorable. If you have a player listed below and don’t have any better (or at least comparable) options, then feel free to leave them in the lineup. Just know that the player carries some risk....

It could come down to choosing between Sony Michel and Dede Westbrook, or maybe even a second tight end if you drafted weird. Whatever the case, you’ll want to put your best lineup out there, and sometimes it can be tough to compare across positions. Week 1 Non-PPR Rankings: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker That’s why we put these FLEX rankings together, to help you make those tough, last-minute lineup choices....

Our sleepers last week were certainly respectable. All three of our running back picks (Zack Moss, Alexander Mattison, and Damien Harris) put up solid games, as Moss found the end zone while Mattison and Harris racked up flex-worthy yardage despite splitting carries in their backfields. Derek Carr totaled multiple TDs again while Drew Lock racked up over 300 yards and three total TDs. Thanks to Lock’s effort, Jerry Jeudy had one of his best games of the year, and Evan Engram and the Packers D/ST delivered some solid value at the TE and D/ST positions....

Cena spoke in Mandarin for the video apology, which he posted on Weibo, which is often referred to as the Chinese version of Twitter. Not long after he uploaded his video, Tony Lin, a producer at Vice News, helpfully translated the message with English subtitles for non-Mandarin speakers on his Twitter account. The controversy came while Cena made an appearance to promote the upcoming film F9, the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, in which he has a role....

For the taped bit, Bieber dressed as a Warner Bros lot tour guide and took photos of fans as they visited the Friends set. Wearing a fake mustache, sideburns and a wig, the Changes singer asked a few people who their favorite Friends characters are, if they could say Joey’s signature “How you doin’” catchphrase and if they could sing Phoebe’s song “Smelly Cat.” After taking photos of one couple on their phone, the disguised Bieber snagged a selfie with the pair....

[HTML1] The live show will start on Monday, June 9th at 5:45PM PT. With Microsoft’s Xbox Media Briefing and the press conferences from third-party publishers Electronic Arts and Ubisoft out of the way, the first day of E3 2014 conludes with Sony’s PlayStation showcase. Last year, they stole the show, delivering Xbox-crushing for-the-gamer style announcements, even taking shots at their opponent to cheerful attendees. What will they do this year?...
