The hosts managed a lucky equaliser through Marcos Alonso but, just like the Blues’ run of four consecutive wins, it was all a case of too little, too late for last season’s champions. Delpoitre’s goal is worth £80 million to the Terriers, who secured their place in the Premier League with a well-earned point, but the 1-1 draw has effectively cost Chelsea £30m, as it means that they are now highly unlikely to be playing in the Champions League next season....

In a Q&A session on Twitter, John Terry was asked who was the most difficult Manchester United player he ever faced. In response to the fan’s tweet, John Terry named the legendary England striker. It is worth noting that John Terry is new to Twitter, having joined the social media platform earlier this month. John Terry has had numerous encounters with Manchester United over his 20-year long career with Chelsea and Aston Villa....

Chelsea 14/1 to win CL Hazard recently put in one of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt against Atletico Madrid and Goal understands the Blues are aiming to reward him with bumper salary if he signs an extension to his current deal. The Belgium captain is already Chelsea’s highest paid player with a £200,000-per-week contract, but his new deal could take him to earn as much £300,000-per-week plus bonuses....

The field has been cut in half, with only eight teams remaining. The first round did not have many upsets, as the higher seed in six out of the eight series. The Lightning and Blues were the lower seeds to come out on top in their respective series. The oddsmakers have made some adjustments to their list of teams they deem as having the best chances to win a Cup, however for the most part, the odds have stayed fairly the same....

Usually, they aren't worth more than a passing glance. But the following tweet from former Kentucky star and #BBN icon Rex Chapman is rather peculiar. MORE: Follow Kentucky-UConn | Scenes from the championship Again, it could be real, and it could be just a joke. But considering that Chapman is a Kentucky legend, it's deserving of more than just a passing glance. Even if there is the slightest ammount of truth to this tweet, why would Chapman, an iconic Kentucky basketball player, tweet such a rumor on the night of the national championship game?...

Now that female Night Elves can look exactly like Tyrande Whisperwind from classic art with her leafy hair and moon headdress, is a portly Goblin similar to Trade Prince Gallywix a possibility? Looking to the future with all these new options is exciting, but World of WarCraft’s engine does have its limitations....

It’s now Bosa’s turn to try to turn the tables for the suddenly red-hot Los Angeles Chargers. “We know if we want to get to where we want to get that we’ve got to play with the best of them,” Bosa told co-host Gil Brandt and me Wednesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Obviously, Tom Brady and the Patriots are the best if not one of the best.

The most obvious is that it might be the last meeting between the two AFC West rivals in Oakland. Both teams — along with the Rams— are candidates for possible relocation to Los Angeles as early as next season. Both the Chargers and Rams won their home finales last weekend and the Raiders hope to do the same Thursday night in what promises to be an emotional night.

“Dicker the Kicker” has risen to national prominence after making two game-winning kicks for two different NFL teams this season — the Eagles on Oct. 9 and the Chargers on Nov. 6. He has been bouncing around the league as a fill-in for injured kickers since he was signed by the Rams as an undrafted free agent earlier this year. MORE: Updates, highlights from Chargers-49ers ‘SNF’ game Dicker recently went viral after telling reporters he had to miss Underwood’s show to join up with the Chargers....

“Somebody was asking me if we got tickets during the playoff games, and I couldn’t really remember,” he said this week. “I was like, ‘Uh, it’s been a little while.’” The last time Baltimore was at home in the postseason was in 2012, when linebacker Ray Lewis and quarterback Joe Flacco engineered a 24-8 victory over Indianapolis to launch a surprising Super Bowl run. Lewis is now in the Hall of Fame, and Flacco will be on the bench when rookie Lamar Jackson and the Ravens (10-6) face the Los Angeles Chargers (12-4) in a wild-card game Sunday....

Everyone wants to be like them, including Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. During halftime of a Saturday game, the two analysts took coach Ron Hunter’s scooter for a test drive. Hunter, of course, has been confined to the scooter after he tore his Achilles celebrating his team’s Sun Belt title.

First appearing in Donkey Kong from 1981, there are doubtlessly many factors that have contributed to the incredible popularity of Mario. For example, the character is instantly recognizable due to his eye-catching red and blue overalls and signature cap. Furthermore, the platforming found in many of his mainline adventures is arguably some of the best found in all of gaming. However, one area not to be overlooked is the character’s iconic voice performed by Charles Martinet throughout many games in the series....

He is 45 now, but he appears nearly as fit as he did during an 11-year career as an NFL running back. He says he still has a good chunk of the money he earned playing football. He is excited as he talks about the catering business he is starting in Northern Virginia, where he grew up. And, most of all, he talks with extreme pride about his two daughters and one son....

He is infuriating members of the ruling class and the MSM (the megaphone for the ruling class) with his handling of the recent flare-up with Iran. Desperate to criticize his every move, the way he has taken unexpected actions over the course of the past week has them spinning like a top in their swivel chairs trying to face the right camera and voice the appropriate “grave concern.” The experts have been as off balance as have been the Iranian leaders who find themselves mourning the loss of their Islamic version of Heinrich Himmler—General Soleimani....

Though she had a long career, Ferrell will likely be remembered by most for her role as the tough-talking housekeeper Berta on the hit comedy Two and a Half Men for 12 seasons—a role that earned her two Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy nominations, in 2005 and 2007, respectively. “She was a beautiful human,” Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer tweeted. “Berta’s gruff exterior was an invention of the writers....

A day after trading Roquan Smith to the Ravens for a second-round pick, the Bears GM made another move, this time swinging a deal for Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool in the hours leading up to the NFL trade deadline. Everyone knew entering the 2022 season that the Bears wide receiver room was thin, and adding Claypool to the mix should provide another target for Justin Fields, who has been operating with half a deck this year....

After infuriating Kyle Busch last weekend, Logano got under Chase Elliott’s skin on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas during the South Point 400. His block of Elliott on a restart set off frustrations. Logano has never been the most popular driver — note his back-and-forth with Martin Truex Jr. a couple of years ago — but this is a particularly antagonistic stretch for him. “Make sure the nose (of my car) is OK from that dips— up there,” Elliott told his team via radio....

So Warren did what a growing number of college treasurers are doing: she hired a blue-chip-fund manager from the private sector–in this case, Keith Ferguson from Fidelity Investments. Since Ferguson’s arrival in January 2005, the UW’s fund has delivered an annual return of 14.7 percent and grown to $1.7 billion. It now ranks as the 32nd largest endowment in the United States, and proves how far the endowment-growth boom has spread beyond the famous successes of Stanford, Yale and Harvard....

I hadn’t thought John had a chance of defeating me for years to come because, while I am certainly no chess whiz, I have hundreds of matches under my belt. While I was thrilled that John shared my passion for the game, I wasn’t prepared to lose to him; I had been his teacher moments before. John’s interest in chess was sparked in his freshman year of high school, when I got out an old set and played a practice game with him....
