Cousins told the media Monday that if the Redskins name Robert Griffin III the starting quarterback for next season, he wants a trade. Cousins added if there isn’t a QB competition, there’s no point in him staying.

A run of three wins in a row for Mumbai has reignited their campaign and their victory at Eden Gardens was enough to edge them into play-off contention. Kolkata had been set the daunting target of 211 from their 20 overs and came nowhere near as they collapsed from 31-1 to 108 all out. Their reply could hardly have been more different to the Indians’ innings, Mumbai’s top order all delivering around a superb 62 off just 21 balls from Ishan Kishan....

The Golden State Warriors star suffered the injury during Game 6 of the NBA Finals in June. Thompson is far enough along in his rehabilitation that he has been able to shoot with his team-mates after practice sessions. While the prospect of a return to competitive action remains a way off, Thompson – speaking during the Warriors’ 124-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks – is keeping a clear head and a positive outlook....

Liverpool have secured their first league title since 1990 after a dominant Premier League campaign. After taking the helm at Anfield in October 2015, Klopp labelled himself ’the normal one’ – and the Liverpool manager said that had not changed. “I am still the normal one. I. Am. Not. Special,” he told the Mirror. “I have a few skills and, luckily, they are needed in football, which is something I really love, but that’s all....

The free-flowing style of Klopp’s Liverpool was stifled by Jose Mourinho and United’s stubborn rearguard as the Premier League clash between the two fierce rivals failed to live up to the pre-game hype. United frustrated Liverpool for long periods on Merseyside, while David de Gea made two fine second-half saves to deny Klopp and Co. a fifth consecutive league victory. Asked for his overall reflection of the match, Klopp lamented: “The game was, from the first second, very hectic and that was maybe a little bit what United wanted and what we didn’t want, and so it was more to their advantage than ours....

The Egypt international scored four times for the Reds as they crushed their opponents 5-0 at Anfield, a continuation of the excellent form he has enjoyed this season. And Klopp was among those left impressed by the attitude of the 25-year-old on Saturday. “He took each sprint like the 100-metre final in the Olympic Games,” he manager exclaimed. “That’s what I mean: the team adapts to our strengths. Nobody is talking and saying: ‘Mo, but you have to …’ At the moment, nobody is saying anything to Salah other than ‘carry on’....

The Reds have been without continental football this season after finishing eighth in 2015-16 and suffering defeat in the Europa League final. A lack of midweek action outside of domestic duties was expected to aid the Anfield cause this season, and did work in their favour over the first half of the season. Klopp rules out move for Hart An untimely wobble at the start of 2017 has threatened to undo much of the Reds’ hard work, but they remain in contention to book a return ticket to the Champions League party....

Henderson and Klopp were involved in a touchline exchange when the midfielder was substituted during Liverpool’s 0-0 draw against Manchester United on Sunday. Klopp, whose Premier League leaders host Watford on Wednesday, labelled that a “pure misunderstanding” and said reports of a bust-up afterwards were wrong. “I could have shouted, but Hendo wasn’t even there. He was being drug tested,” the German told UK newspapers. “Nothing. It’s bull****. Nothing happened after the game, we were completely fine....

The Reds have reached what their manager considers to be “a massive number” in terms of finding the target in just 148 games. Attacking flair has rarely been a problem during the German’s tenure, with defensive frailties proving to be more of an issue. Even those leaks have been plugged of late – with a top-four bid in the Premier League being complemented by a run to the Champions League semi-finals - but Liverpool are still searching for a first piece of a silverware since 2012, and that is something Klopp is eager to address....

Liverpool are searching for a first league crown since 1990 and are well-placed to launch a serious bid for the title as they sit second in the standings on 27 points from 12 games, a point behind Chelsea, who replaced them at the top last weekend. “If somebody is a character and wants to celebrate position one in November then he will not play in December anymore because I see it pretty quick,” Klopp told British media....

Former Netherlands, Ajax, Barcelona and AC Milan striker Kluivert was appointed to the role in July 2016 but presided over a disappointing debut campaign for coach Unai Emery. All the latest transfer rumours PSG’s dominance of French football was ended in stunning fashion by Monaco, who Leonardo Jardim led to the Ligue 1 title, although PSG won the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue. President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has backed Emery to continue as PSG’s coach, but the club has replaced outgoing sporting director Olivier Letang with Antero Henrique in a period of upheaval at the Parc des Princes....

Barrett led the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring at 22.8 points per game despite somewhat being overshadowed by flashier teammate Zion Williamson, the No. 1 pick by New Orleans Pelicans. Barrett finished second behind Williamson for ACC Player of the Year, and ACC Rookie of the Year. Both were named to the All-ACC First Team, and the conference’s all-freshman team. The 6-foot-7, 202-pounder from Mississauga, Ontario, had been linked to the Knicks almost immediately after it was revealed at the draft Lottery on May 14 that New York had the third pick....

Unable to find a trade, the Knicks waived the 33-year-old center Saturday with two years and $37.8 million remaining on his contract. Noah had been away from the team since clashing with former coach Jeff Hornacek last season, when he appeared in just seven games. The Knicks had already decided he wouldn’t rejoin the club under new coach David Fizdale but were hoping they could find a long shot trade to get something back for him without having to cut him....

Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gigi were among the nine people killed when the helicopter they were flying in crashed in Calabasas, California on January 26, 2020. The late Los Angeles Lakers star was selected to be inducted into the Hall of Fame last year, only for the annual ceremony to be postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. After a lengthy delay, Bryant will posthumously be enshrined into the Hall of Fame and will be inducted by his friend and mentor Michael Jordan....

What we already know is that TellTale Games - who are behind titles like Puzzle Agent and the recent episodic Back to the Future adventure - are the developers chosen to helm the project. Kirkman, however, will not be penning the story to the game though he will be overseeing the project to ensure it fits the world of The Walking Dead. He explains his choice with TellTale Games:...

Which is not to say that people won’t line up to see this movie. The word is out that it’s “hot.” The sex and gore are plentiful, with lots of smash-your-partner-against-the-wall couplings, and if you can forget how hard the actors are struggling to work up a lather, some scenes are actually titillating. But who are these people entangled in all this angry, sweaty lovemaking This much we know: a rich San Francisco rock impresario has been done in by the shapely blonde with the ice pick....
