NCAA won't push ACC to move football title game from Charlotte
Charlotte may end up losing the ACC championship game, but it won’t be at the behest of the NCAA. The NCAA announced Monday night that it is pulling seven of its championships from the state of North Carolina because of the controversial House Bill 2 (HB2), a law which some claim fosters discrimination against members of the LGBT communities. The highest-profile events to be moved out of the state are the men’s basketball first- and second-round games that had been scheduled to be played next ..>> view originalSt. Louis Cardinals to take another stab at preventing a Chicago Cubs celebration at Busch
ST. LOUIS -- Monday night turned into another missed opportunity for the St. Louis Cardinals, and it could have been so much worse. St. Louis entered the ninth inning on the verge of being the first no-hit victims in Busch Stadium III's 11-year history, but Jeremy Hazelbaker's leadoff homer on an 0-2 pitch from Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks saved it from that distinction, if not the indignity of a 4-1 loss. What's more, the New York Mets' 8-1 loss in Washington kept the Cardinals ..>> view originalBroncos LB Brandon Marshall: 'We're not dirty'

There were plenty of questions to be asked after the Washington Redskins were thumped by 22 points in their Monday night home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Can Kirk Cousins recapture the magic that led to an NFC East title in 2015? Will the Redskins' running game be able to keep the defense off the field? And when that defense comes on the field -- a defense that was supposed to score a massive upgrade with former Panthers cornerback Josh Norman -- how can it avoid getting torched li..>> view original10 facts and takeaways from the Rams' terrible Week 1 shutout loss
