Brady-led Patriots entertain Titans as NFL playoff open
NEW YORK — Six-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady leads the defending champion New England Patriots into the NFL playoffs Saturday against visiting Tennessee in what could be the end of an era.The 42-year-old quarterback has vowed to keep playing as long as he's able but his 60.9 percent completion rate is his worst since 2013 and New England missed out on a first-round bye with a home loss to 5-11 Miami last Sunday.The Patriots (12-4) have won six of nine Super Bowl appearances since Brady and coach Bill Belichick began working together, including three of the past five, but they have never reached the Super Bowl without a first-round bye."Everyone knows what's at stake," Brady said. "You have to earn it to move on."Brady owns NFL's all-time playoff records...

NBA fines Kings center Dedmon for saying he wants trade
NEW YORK — Sacramento Kings center Dewayne Dedmon was fined $50,000 by the NBA on Thursday after admitting in a newspaper interview that he wants to be traded to another club.The punishment was imposed for "public statements detrimental to the NBA and its teams" based upon his comments to the Sacramento Bee before a game Sunday against Denver."I would like to be traded," Dedmon told the newspaper.

Arteta earns first win as Arsenal sink Man Utd, but Spurs, Chelsea stumble
LONDON — Arsenal rang in the new year by giving boss Mikel Arteta his first victory as lackluster Manchester United crashed to a 2-0 defeat, while Tottenham and Chelsea also slipped up in the Premier League's top four race on Wednesday.Arteta had watched Arsenal take only one point from his first two matches, with last weekend's 2-1 defeat against Chelsea especially painful after the Blues scored twice in the final minutes.But Arsenal had played well for long periods in that London derby and they produced an even more sparkling display to put United to the sword at the Emirates Stadium.The Gunners took the lead in the eighth minute when Sead Kolasinac's cross ran through to Nicolas Pepe at the far post and the Ivory Coast winger beat David De Gea from close-range.Arsenal, who...

Draw leaves Leeds, West Brom still nine points clear
LONDON — Leeds remain top of the Championship on goal difference after West Brom defender Semi Ajayi scored at both ends as the top two shared the points in a 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns.The Baggies went ahead in the second minute when Ajayi forced the ball over the line from close range in a goalmouth scramble.But the defender diverted in substitute Patrick Bamford's header in the second half as Leeds salvaged a point.A share of the spoils leaves both sides nine points clear in the two automatic promotion places ahead of Brentford and Nottingham Forest."We should have won the match, but also we could have lost the match. How we managed the game was very good, but there were chances in both boxes," said Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa.Bielsa also revealed on-loan Arsenal striker...

Greek star Tsitsipas ready for the top
BRISBANE, Australia —With wins over the big three of world tennis already under his belt in 2019, Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas said Thursday he believed he had the ammunition to take the world No. 1 ranking.Tsitsipas became the youngest player to beat Rafael Nadal on clay and the youngest to record wins over Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic during a stellar 2019 which saw him rise to world number five.The 21-year-old heads into the inaugural ATP Cup ranked sixth, but said he was confident he could go all the way to the top."I mean, yeah, they are still there — they are doing really well," Tsitsipas said about Nadal, Federer and Djokovic."For me, it's very challenging to go out there and compete against them."I feel like there's something extra to...

Zverev says no concerns over curtailed off-season
BRISBANE, Australia — Germany's Alexander Zverev said he felt in top shape for 2020 Thursday despite only starting to hit balls a week ago after an off-season curtailed by a lucrative exhibition tour.The 22-year-old only won one title last year, in Geneva, not quite taking the step up that many had predicted as he slipped from fourth to seventh in the men's tennis rankings.But Zverev remains a big drawcard and he finished 2019 playing a five-stop exhibition tour of South America and China with Roger Federer.Although the tour meant a shorter off-season than normal, Zverev insisted it made little difference."I mean, still I think I had a good off-season. It was a little bit different. It was shorter this year, for sure," he said at the ATP Cup team event in...
