The Packers (7-4) have had all sorts of problems with an inconsistent offense that has struggled to effectively run the ball and convert third downs. Packers receivers have had difficulty creating any separation and, when they do get open, have been prone to drops — especially second-year wideout Davante Adams.

The NFL flexed the Green Bay-Philadelphia game to the late-afternoon window, and it’ll be broadcast at 4:25 p.m. on CBS. It’s also getting the Romo treatment, with Jim Nantz doing the play-by-play duties and Tony Romo the color commentator to provide all his insights on the quarterback play. He’ll have plenty to talk about with Wentz, who leads the NFL in interceptions thrown and sacks taken. For more info on if Packers-Eagles will be available to you on your local CBS affiliate at 4:25 p....

Rodgers completed 21 of 25 passes (84 percent) for 231 yards and four touchdowns, and his lone mistake, an interception, came in garbage time in the fourth quarter. His connection with Davante Adams, who hauled in 11 catches for 142 yards and three TDs, make the Packers one of the scariest teams in the NFC. But what may have more teams concerned ahead of the playoffs is the balance Green Bay showed Sunday....

Headley was injured in the batting cage before Tuesday night's game against the Rockies, according to Padres manager Bud Black. Headley went 0 for 4, dropping his average to .160 with one homer and four RBIs. Headley was slowed by a strained right calf during spring training and missed the first 14 games last season because of a fractured left thumb. He led the NL with 115 RBIs in 2012....

The 23-year-old was fantastic in his first career MLB start, going five innings with seven strikeouts while allowing only two hits and one run in the Padres’ 3-1 victory, which clinched them the series win over the Giants. Paddack, who had a 2.10 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 90 innings in the minor leagues last season, had never pitched above Double A prior to Sunday. He is ranked as the No....

Talking and winning. For Phil McGraw, they go together like peanut butter and fried bananas at Graceland. Four years ago, McGraw talked his way onto a spot as a therapist on “Oprah.” Now–he is the hottest talk-show commodity to come along since Queen Oprah herself. McGraw debuts next month in “Dr. Phil,” a program with so much juice–it’s syndicated in an unprecedented 96 percent of the country–that he was able to demand it never be pitted against “Oprah” in the same time period....

Oh.. Garfield Sobers. He was unbelievable and just had so much time. He allowed the ball to come on to him, which made that time but was a fantastic player. If he played now he’d be a multi-millionaire, as he had it all. He bowled pretty quick left arm, or could slow down and swing it; he bowled orthodox left-arm spin and could switch to bowl chinamen; he was a terrific fielder…he was genuinely the complete cricketer and would probably have been a decent wicket-keeper too!...

In this article, you’ll learn about the working of the merge sort algorithm, the algorithm of the merge sort, its time and space complexity, and its implementation in various programming languages like C++, Python, and JavaScript. How Does the Merge Sort Algorithm Work? Merge sort works on the principle of divide and conquer. Merge sort repeatedly breaks down an array into two equal subarrays until each subarray consists of a single element....

In the tectonic world of Formula 1, the struggle for dominance, of late, has become the struggle to dethrone Hamilton, who is only two titles shy from drawing level with Schumi. This was the case in 2014, where Lewis outshone the others. This was also the case in 2015 where once again Ferrari and Red Bull were found wanting in front of the Mercedes’ magic. There are winners. There are great winners....

There is a huge bundle of transfer gossip today so I’ve had to split this in to two parts. New Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hopes to hijack Arsenal’s £23m move for Fiorentina’s Montenegro striker Stevan Jovetic, 23. Full story: The Times What’s the story? And why would he do that? He doesn’t think Juan Mata is doing a good job at number 10? Does it make sense? I guess if Mourinho doesn’t rate Mata, Hazard and Oscar....

Any thoughts of the comprehensive 1st Test victory being an aberration were blown away by Australia flogging India with more ease in this game. The manner in which India all too readily fell to their knees in a meek surrender in the face of the Aussie fire was both embarrassing for them as respected players and so disrespectful to their hordes of devout followers. In the face of the White Flag going up so easily one can only have concerns for the prospects for India going forward with the very real prospect of another shameful whitewash as seen in England in this series....

Pachter, agreeing with Nintendo’s Mr. Iwata, said he thought the Wii was more of a holiday purchase, explaining that the core audience has been satisfied (i.e. purchased consoles) some time ago, and that the more casual audience (perhaps those shopping for consoles this holiday) makes up a much larger portion of the potential market. Regarding the DS, Pachter argued that it is challenged by the iPod Touch and that the DSi and XL DSi have not really captured the public’s imagination....

This is likely disappointing news to gamers, but it is an understandable stance to take from the perspective of developers and publishers. Game development costs for new IPs and major franchise entries have increased by 100% to 200% since the launch of the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2006, when the last substantial game price increase occurred. Many of 2010’s biggest titles came with jaw-dropping development costs. During that same time period, other forms of entertainment, such as streaming service subscriptions and movie ticket prices have steadily increased to match market trends, while other formats like DVDs and CDs have been almost completely obsolesced....

Anantapur had to face some stiff challenges from the other districts during their group stages. The Defending champions were facing up against Chittoor in the first semi-final while Nellore played against Vishakhapatnam. Chittoor won the toss and decided to bat first and piled up 225 runs in 80 over’s. Harinath was the pick of the bowlers from the home team, picking up 3 wickets while giving away 66 runs.

The Spain international picked up a thigh injury during the club’s winter training camp in Qatar, and has been ruled out of Bayern’s first game after the mid-season break against Freiburg on January 20. VIDEO: First Mkhitaryan, then Giroud, now THIS Thiago has scored three times for Bayern this season, but Ancelotti is optimistic that he will not be sidelined for more than three weeks. “It is a pity, but these things can happen,” Ancelotti said....

Dries Mertens was dropped to the bench and Lorenzo Insigne was not part of the squad as Napoli played out a stalemate in Wednesday’s Champions League clash at the Luminus Arena. The Serie A side hit the woodwork three times in the first half and had a shot saved off the line, with Arkadiusz Milik particularly guilty of wasting some promising opportunities. Napoli beat Liverpool in their opening Group E fixture and remain top of the standings, though Ancelotti acknowledged his side could have been further in front of the chasing pack....

‘The powerful one’ breaks down ’the special one’ - Schweinsteiger back in Mourinho’s Man Utd plans Ancelotti singled out the star after he helped four-time defending Bundesliga champions Bayern to a 3-1 comeback at Opel Arena. Muller set up Arjen Robben for Bayern’s second goal of the night as Die Roten moved level atop the table with RB Leipzig due to play Schalke on Saturday. And Ancelotti was delighted with his impact following criticism of his indifferent start to the season, praising the 27-year-old’s influential display....

Ancelotti will face off against Zidane for the first time when Bayern take on Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, with the first leg held in Munich on April 12. Both teams are top of their respective leagues and the tie promises to be a classic, with Ancelotti looking forward to testing himself against his old apprentice. “Zidane is an idol in Madrid, he is respected,” Ancelotti told French newspaper Journal du Dimanche....
