If you’re playing an all-day tournament, we like Jon Lester (vs. Angels) to break his slump. He’s had some tough matchups lately, but the Angels have struggled struggled against lefties most of the season before a recent uptick, so this is a good opportunity to get Lester at a bargain price. Even better, he’s in good position for a win, as Chicago should be able to batter around Trevor Cahill (@ Cubs)....

But even Brady can be imperfect. After throwing an incompletion on fourth down to turn the ball over to the Chicago Bears, Brady held up four fingers—as if he were telling his teammates and coaches that it’s fourth down and they needed enough yards to gain a first down. Brady was wrong. He apparently lost track of downs, and the Bears clung to a 20-19 victory. Again, Brady lost track of downs in a winnable situation....

The Patriots quarterback has had funny posts in the past from “Singing in the Rain” with teammates Rob Gronkowski and Vince Wilfork, to his stoked “We’re on to Buffalo” face. Now Brady is back with a cartoon that pretty much sums up how he’s going to handle the Jets.

MORE: Patriots get tough test to kick off 2016 | NFL’s highest-paid players One of those fans, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, sent Leicester City a video of encouragement as it tries to win the Premier League just two years after playing in the second-tier Championship. Brady’s message was specifically directed toward Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who has been one of the cornerstones in leading Leicester City seven points up with just five games to go....

After the Patriots defeated the Ravens, 35-31, Saturday to advance to the AFC title game, Harbaugh took to the podium and cried “deception” for a series of plays that featured just four offensive linemen that Brady and coach Bill Belichick ran on a drive in the second half.

This marks Brady’s 20th time leading a playoff run: more seasons than many of his contemporaries ever see in a career. It’s uncertain what the future holds for Brady, whether he decides to finally hang up the cleats for good or return for yet another season (and, if so, with what team). So it bears watching whether he can lead yet another deep playoff run. Of course, Brady’s astounding longevity and clutch play has led to an equally astounding playoff record, one that each of the other 13 playoff quarterbacks this year runs would be jealous of....

Top Gun: Maverick came out almost two months ago, yet its theatrical run looks nowhere near its end as the movie revenue total now amounts to $1.24 billion worldwide, as of this writing, propelling it all the way to the nineteenth spot of all-time highest-grossing films, ranking just a few hundred million below The Avengers and Age of Ultron. Considering Top Gun: Maverick’s complicated relationship with Chinese investors, and thus the subsequent edits that rendered the final cut of the film forbidden for release in China, that feat seems all the more impressive....

After more than two years, Holland’s Spider-Man will return to the big screen in a standalone film.

With the Multiverse fully exposed, it is guaranteed to be an interesting ride, and fans cannot wait to see if their theories about the film are indeed correct....

Since then, Tony Ferguson was originally booked to fight Dustin Poirier in the co-main event of UFC 254 before talks fell through since UFC refused to offer Poirier the amount he asked for.
