After all, there was a game to play. "Right now I'm focusing on trying to learn the plays, learning the coverages and the game plan and the assignments. So I didn't have time to really think about history," Collins said at a crowded press conference less than an hour before his Brooklyn Nets faced the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Collins signed a 10-day contract with the Nets earlier Sunday and played 10 scoreless minutes with two rebounds and five fouls in the Nets' 108-102 victory....

The Boca Juniors star made a gesture with his eyes at Korea players after a clash involving James Rodriguez and Kim Jin-su. Although Cardona denied all wrongdoing, Korea international Ki Sung-yueng described the behaviour as “absolutely unacceptable” after the match. Colombia, who have been drawn alongside Poland, Japan and Senegal for the World Cup in Russia, have one fixture scheduled, a game against France in March. But with more friendlies expected to be booked in, Cardona is still likely to serve the ban in time to take his place in Colombia’s first Group H game against Japan on June 19....

Law enforcement authorities have credited two of the club’s patrons that night with subduing the shooter until police arrived at the scene. Their actions “saved lives,” according to a post on the city’s website.

Colorado State quarterback Todd Centeio (18 of 29, 282 yards, one touchdown, one interception) completed three quick passes to get into Utah State territory before eventually facing third-and-10 at the Aggies’ 39-yard line. He then hit receiver Ty McCullouch for a 15-yard completion to the Utah State 24 with 11 seconds remaining....

I guess the officials were so shocked that a kicker could tackle like this that they totally turned a blind eye to what appears to be a helmet-to-helmet hit. (UPDATE: A closer look shows that McAfee didn't hit Holliday with the crown of his helmet, make the hit legal but no less stunning.) One thing's for sure: Ndamukong Suh didn't miss it.

After a 1-2 start to the season, New England (3-2) has won two consecutive games by double digits to get over .500. They took down the Colts 38-24 on Thursday in Foxborough, Mass.

The Colts (1-3) got their first win by knocking off the Dolphins, while the Ravens (3-1) beat the Broncos, staying hot since losing to the Raiders in overtime on Monday night in Week 1. The Colts can still win the weak AFC South, while the Ravens need to keep winning to keep pace in the strong AFC North. Will Carson Wentz continue to get better for Indianapolis?

It was the first home game for the Crew since owner Anthony Precourt announced he was considering moving the team to Austin, Texas, and fans made their desire to keep the club in Ohio known. It was a dream start for Columbus, as the home side took the lead six minutes in.

We geeks, though, had. I have seen cities under attack and the postapocalyptic aftermath in so many comics, sci-fi novels and movies that when I saw the World Trade Center site in real life I had a crushing sense of “well, yeah.” It was the ending that wasn’t right, the climactic final reel. Superman did not come to stop the second plane. The Fantastic Four did not fly up in their Fantasticar....

With half-time rapidly approaching at the home of champions Paris Saint-Germain, little Guingamp had them on the rack. Chances had come and gone, they had deserved to go in ahead, but it seemed that they were destined to go in at the break on level terms. Step forward Blas. A cross was only half cleared by the home side and dropped perfectly for the midfielder, who hit a dreamy volley into the PSG net, the ball kissing the underside of the bar as it hammered past static goalkeeper Alphonse Areola....

The Commanders had four players named to the NFC team, including standouts Jonathan Allen, Terry McLaurin and Tress Way. The least-known of their four — special teams ace Jeremy Reaves — had perhaps the best response.

The last player he had to inform was Reaves, an undrafted free agent who has stood out in a big way for Washington....

Graft/Fistula Stenosis The term stenosis implies narrowing. Both grafts and fistulas can develop narrowing of their lumen for various reasons (which can range from surgical causes at the time of placement, to the way that access is stuck at dialysis). Dialysis staff will typically examine the graft/fistula before every treatment and look for telltale signs of stenosis: Depending on the location of the stenosis, an access could be hyperpulsatile, or even have poor flow of blood....
