Cameras Catch Florida Athletes Quarreling With Texas Fan After Being Shown The Finger
Texas started 4-0, only to suffer back-to-back 27-24 losses to Oklahoma and Florida. And the latest defeat was particularly embarrassing.

Wigan pine for FA Cup glory as not even victory can lift them off foot of League One
Gary Caldwell, club captain in 2013 and now manager, needs much more than Saturday’s win over Reading to disperse the cloudsIf the 2013 FA Cup final represented a blip for the Sheikh Mansour-era Manchester City in their quest for total domination of English football, it was a historic moment for their conquerors, Wigan Athletic.

It was a Sunday night in the second division, they lost 3-0 to Badajoz, and he didn’t enjoy it much.But then, he doesn’t ever enjoy it much. Even on Tuesday at Anfield, he will not: into his 30th year, the longest presidency in Europe, that is about the only thing that hasn’t changed. More than 1,000 games and still it happens. “I don’t get nervous. It’s worse: I get worried, very anxious,” he says. “I suffer a lot. Continue reading...
