Burress went on an epic rant Saturday night after the Spartans lost in controversial fashion to the Cornhuskers. Nebraska scored a last-minute touchdown to take the lead, but it appeared wide receiver Brandon Reilly stepped out of bounds prior to making the game-winning catch. Officials upheld the touchdown. Burress disagreed — to say the least. MORE: 5 things from Michigan State’s loss | Inside Michigan’s victory (Note: This is only a sampling of what Burress said....

Last week, lawyers for Davis and the school board argued their case before the Supreme Court. The board has said that Davis’s complaints were addressed, though they admit they do not have a ““paper trail’’ on disciplinary action against G.F. But their main defense was to assert that the sexual-harassment liability laws which govern the workplace do not extend to schools. Though the Supreme Court last year ruled that schools could be sued under Title IX if administrators failed to act when a teacher sexually harassed a student, defense attorneys insisted that schools, not the courts, should decide the appropriate way to handle harassment between students....

Last week was anything but easy. Federal investigators quizzed him about questionable fund-raising phone calls he may have made in 1996. Paula Jones’s sexual harassment case got air time as she and Gennifer Flowers gave depositions. In Congress Democrats undercut his bid for broad power to negotiate new trade deals–a power enjoyed by every president since Gerald Ford. The GOP majority, meanwhile, obstructed the nomination of Bill Lann Lee, an Asian-American lawyer, to be Clinton’s civil-rights chief....

Matsatsantsa go into the clash on Sunday afternoon without the suspended duo of Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Morgan Gould, but most recently they have been hit by a spate of injuries which saw them travel to Lubumbashi with just 17 players. The latest reports suggest that the exciting Thabo Mnyamane alongside the talented Teboho Mokoena have been forced to sit out the away leg due to injury. This will come as a heavy blow to coach Eric Tinkler’s plans considering the disruption which the international break has inflicted....

Spurs to finish higher than Arsenal in PL - 4/5 The Real Madrid forward completed a £70 million transfer to Stamford Bridge earlier in the month after being linked with a move to Manchester United, though Romelu Lukaku’s record-breaking switch to Old Trafford ended speculation. Tottenham were also reported to be interested in signing Morata as manager Pochettino went about strengthening his forward line, though the Argentine has revealed the Spain international was not keen to compete with Kane for game time....

The Colombian arrived in London on Wednesday in a long-anticipated deal worth a reported €40 million, which could rise to €42m with add-ons, and he personally called the move a “huge step forward” in his career. Sanchez 11/2 to score anytime v Burnley Having stared for Ajax, playing 47 times in the 2016-17 season as the club finished second in the Eredivisie and reached the Europa League final, the centre-back comes in as a record signing for Tottenham....

Rose – who was fined by the club for criticising their wage structure in pre-season – was left out of Pochettino’s squad for the 2-0 loss at the Emirates last time out in the Premier League. Top London PL club: Spurs 5/4 Rumours began to circulate that the pair had endured a training ground bust-up, and although the England international refuted such claims in an interview on Wednesday, he did say that the omission left him “fuming”....

Tottenham make the daunting trip to the Santiago Bernabeu for a showdown with the Champions League holders in Group H on Tuesday. Tottenham 6/1 to beat Real Madrid Madrid won La Liga last season and became the first team to retain the European Cup in its present format when they dispatched Juventus 4-1 in the final in Cardiff. Zidane, who replaced Rafael Benitez at the helm of Los Blancos in January 2016, took charge of both of those successful campaigns, having also won the competition as a player in 2001-02, when he scored a stunning volley to seal a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen at Hampden Park....

Costa to China would scare Europe’s elite Sporting director Levent Nazifoglu had previously said a transfer was “nearing completion”, but the Chinese club denied that they were ever interested in the former Germany international. Podolski has scored 23 goals in 56 appearances for Galatasaray since his arrival from Arsenal in July 2015, including the winner against Fenerbahce in last season’s Turkish Cup final. After Gala’s 1-0 victory over Atiker Konyaspor, Nazifoglu said: “Podolski is a very professional player with good character, and the interest from China is no longer there....

Verbal description and visual depiction have their place in memorials, but they lead us down the petal-strewn path of sentimentality. Compare them with “Elegy,” by Mary Jo Bang, which recently won the National Book Critics Circle award for poetry—a collection written in 12 months after the author’s son, Michael Donner Van Hook, died of an overdose of prescription sedatives. Here is the nearest thing I could find in Bang’s book to what Gunther wrote about Johnny:...

The France international has become the centre of attention at Old Trafford through no fault of his own, with events conspiring against him. An untimely dip in form has seen his value debated at length, with Jose Mourinho among those to have been left unconvinced and forced to bench an £89 million asset. It has been suggested that Pogba could be moved on in the summer, with United ready to explore different options, but the 24-year-old is reluctant to be drawn on his current situation....

In Paul Pogba, United have their leader in style if not in name. The 2-0 victory over Leicester City on Saturday was the latest exhibition of the Frenchman’s accession to the throne. One year on from the questions and the claims he was a waste of money at £89.5 million, Pogba is now the beating heart of everything good about Mourinho’s side. With Nemanja Matic added to the midfield, Pogba has so much more licence to get involved in attacks than he had during his first full season with the club last term....

The Taiwanese election disrupted the status quo on several fronts. It represented the most serious threat yet to the principle, officially honored in both Washington and Beijing, that Taiwan is just a wayward province of China, destined for eventual reunification. The vote also set in motion the first democratic transfer of power in China’s 5,000-year history. And it ended more than 50 years of unbroken rule by the Kuomintang (KMT), the once iron-fisted regime of Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist exiles....
