Sherman was on his best behavior when he fronted a packed news conference shortly after his team touched down to prepare for next weekend's Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. Sherman later apologized for his boorish outburst but the National Football League took a dim view of his actions, slapping him with a $7,875 fine for unsportsmanlike behavior. Full Story | Top |

| Soccer-"Boring", "rotten" - struggling Sunderland under fire Sunday, Jan 26, 2014 07:29 PM PST Ex-Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio described two of his former players as "rotten", while current boss Gus Poyet completed a withering weekend assessment after being left 'bored' by their laboured FA Cup win over fifth-tier Kidderminster Town. Italian Di Canio has not been reluctant to share his feelings about certain members of the English Premier League strugglers who were believed to be behind his sacking in September after only 13 league matches in charge. A player revolt was understood to be his undoing with midfielder Lee Cattermole and fullback Phil Bardsley, both deemed surplus to requirements by Di Canio, thought to be among a group that demanded his sacking by chairman Ellis Short. "Those two players were rotten," Di Canio, who helped Sunderland avoid relegation last season, told the Sun on Sunday British newspaper. Full Story | Top |

| Woodland rues title chance that got away Sunday, Jan 26, 2014 04:56 PM PST  (Reuters) - Gary Woodland was left to rue the chance of a PGA Tour victory that he felt he gave away after the long-hitting American ended up in a tie for 10th at the Farmers Insurance Open outside San Diego on Sunday. Woodland had been a stroke in front heading into the final round at Torrey Pines and was tied for the lead with three holes to play before his title hopes were wrecked with a double-bogey at the 17th. After pulling his tee shot on 17 way left into a hazard on the way to an ugly six, Woodland failed to birdie the par-five last, where his power hitting would normally give him an advantage, as he closed with a two-over 74. "This will be hard to swallow," Woodland told reporters after posting a six-under total of 282 to finish three strokes behind tournament winner Scott Stallings, who signed off with a 68.
