Brady-led NFL champion Patriots dethroned by upstart Titans
WASHINGTON — Reigning champion New England was dumped from the NFL playoffs by upstart Tennessee on Saturday, the Titans taking a 20-13 road victory that could spell the end of six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady's career.NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry ran 34 times for 182 yards and a touchdown on his 26th birthday and former Patriot Logan Ryan returned an interception of Brady nine yards for a touchdown with nine seconds remaining for the final points to seal New England's fate."We were just locked in," Henry said. "We wanted it. It's a great win against a great team in a hostile environment. I'm just happy we could advance. A great team win."Brady, a 42-year-old quarterback who is now a free agent, could not guide the Patriots to a second-half...

Kyrie Irving said the right shoulder injury that has disrupted his debut season with the Brooklyn Nets might need surgery.
Nets guard Irving says he hopes to avoid shoulder surgery
NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving said the right shoulder injury that has disrupted his debut season with the Brooklyn Nets might need surgery, but he still hopes to avoid it.Irving, who hasn't played an NBA game since Nov. 14, told reporters on Saturday that he had received a cortisone injection on Dec. 24 as part of his continuing recovery, but the effects can be variable."You either continue to get cortisone shots, which is obviously detrimental to your health in your muscles, or you go get arthroscopic surgery," he said."For me, it's just about being able to go back out there after the right amount of rehab, the right amount of rest, recovery, and see what we can do for the rest of the season and then re-evaluate after a few months."Irving said the possibility of...

Sixers' Embiid says skid 'taking a toll'
LOS ANGELES — The Philadelphia 76ers, riding high after a Christmas Day upset of the Milwaukee Bucks, have endured a swift descent and center Joel Embiid admitted a four-game NBA losing streak is getting him down."Losing four in a row sucks, and it doesn't feel like we're getting better," a frustrated Embiid told reporters after the team lost to the Rockets in Houston on Friday night."I care about winning," the Cameroonian big man said. "It's taking a toll on me. All I care about is winning. It sucks."Heading into Friday's contest, 76ers coach Brett Brown had cautioned his players that the team "can't get too irrational" with 46 games left in the regular season.Three straight defeats had prompted guard Josh Richardson to say the...

Ruthless Real Madrid dismantle gutsy Getafe
MADRID — Real Madrid made an impressive start to the year as they picked apart a robust Getafe side to win 3-0 in La Liga on Saturday.Raphael Varane was the instigator of two goals at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, first pressuring Getafe David Soria into a missed punch and an own-goal before himself heading home a cross from Toni Kroos.Luka Modric then added a third deep into injury-time after a brilliant first-time pass by Gareth Bale had set Madrid away on the counter-attack.Victory sends Zinedine Zidane's side top of the table briefly at least, one point above Barcelona, who play later on Saturday against Catalan rivals Espanyol.Getafe remain seventh and very much in the race for Champions League qualification. Another excellent season under coach Jose Bordalas is proving last...

LINAS, France — The players of little Linas-Montlhery face a dilemma when they take on mighty Paris Saint-Germain in the French Cup on Sunday."We can't injure them, we have the Champions League to win," said Hermann Colin Kouassi, the left-back for the sixth-tier club.Like most of his teammates, Kouassi is a diehard PSG fan.The club, where Tottenham's Tanguy Ndombele played in his teens, takes its name from neighboring towns in the southern outskirts of Paris, Linas and Montlhery, which have a combined population of just 7,000.Their normal home ground is 26 kilometers from PSG's Parc des Princes home, though it is too small to host Sunday's round-of-64 match.Unless PSG rest their stars, Kouassi could find himself trying to stop his heroes Neymar and Kylian...

Rampant Vlhova snaps Shiffrin slalom streak at Zagreb
ZAGREB — Petra Vlhova took advantage of a rare error from world champion Mikaela Shiffrin to score a rare victory over the American in the alpine World Cup slalom in Zagreb on Saturday.Shiffrin had won the last six World Cup slalom races but took a gate wide on the opening section of the first run, and the long-suffering Vlhova seized the initiative to lead by 1.16sec.On the second floodlit run on a mild evening with 70 tightly packed gates Shiffrin posted a blistering second run of 1min 0.88sec with only her Slovenian rival remaining at the start gate.Vlhova held her nerve and put in a thundering second run which was even faster than the American's, giving her victory an extra air of authenticity."Today I felt totally great, in the morning I made no mistakes," beamed...

Broad, Anderson give England crucial edge in second Test
CAPE TOWN — Stuart Broad and James Anderson led a relentless bowling performance as England gained what could prove a crucial advantage on the second day of the second Test against South Africa at Newlands on Saturday.South Africa were 215 for eight the close, still 54 runs behind England's first innings total of 269 on a dry pitch which is likely to get more difficult for batsmen later in the match.More than half of South Africa's runs came in a 117-run fourth wicket partnership between Dean Elgar (88) and Rassie van der Dussen (68).But Elgar and Van der Dussen were unable to dominate as England dried up the runs, with Elgar eventually falling to a lofted drive when he tried to lift the scoring rate.Anderson took three for 34, while Broad and Sam Curran took two wickets...

Mourinho says no quick fixes for Spurs in transfer window
LONDON — Jose Mourinho says Tottenham will be "intelligent" in the January transfer window and there will be no quick fixes at the Premier League club.Mourinho has repeatedly said that he will not be overhauling his squad this month and that any business could be dependent on players leaving.One player who appears to be on his way out of the club is midfielder Christian Eriksen, whose contact expires in June, but it is not certain he will depart this month.Mourinho, whose side have stumbled in recent weeks, walked into the club with his eyes wide open and said he was on the same page as chairman Daniel Levy."That was very clear for me and is very important for me to understand that before I came," said the Portuguese boss, who took over from the sacked Mauricio...
