The Italian led Bayern to a fifth successive Bundesliga crown in his first season at the Allianz Arena but also oversaw the club’s earliest Champions League exit since 2010-11, losing to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. Get Bundesliga title odds Bayern have suffered defeats at the hands of Arsenal, AC Milan, Inter, Liverpool and Napoli over the course of their pre-season schedule, and Effenberg believes Ancelotti may not be around much longer if he cannot improve on last term....

And on that, there is ignorance at the highest levels. When three Republican presidential hopefuls raised their hands during the recent debate to indicate they “didn’t believe in evolution,” as moderator Chris Matthews put it, biologist Jerry Coyne was appalled (though not necessarily surprised). As he writes in a scathing—though more in sorrow than in anger—essay, “Because there is just as much evidence for the fact of evolution as there is for the existence of atoms, anyone raising his hand must have been grossly misinformed....

However, there will always be an asterisk on his UFC run due to the PED violations. The Brazilian tested positive for drostanolone and androsterone during his fight against Nick Diaz. A unanimous win for Silva was later overturned into a ‘No Contest’ as Diaz tested positive for marijuana. The now 45-year-old also tested positive for a banned substance ahead of a proposed fight against Kelvin Gastelum. Speaking ahead of his fight against Uriah Hall, Anderson said:...

The two players were well matched throughout and the lack of a tiebreak in the final set prolonged the match until Anderson finally broke through at 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (5-7) 6-7 (9-11) 6-4 26-24. The match was the second longest in Wimbledon history - after Isner’s 11-hour 2010 defeat of Nicolas Mahut - and Anderson was not in a celebratory mood after dragging himself off court. “I don’t really know what to say right now....

The team made the announcement Thursday, just a few days before training camp starts for the worldwide competition. Team USA also added Heat center Bam Adebayo to the roster, leaving 16 players in contention for 12 spots on the World Cup team. Drummond and Harrell are the latest to withdraw from the competition — Bradley Beal, James Harden, Anthony Davis, CJ McCollum, Eric Gordon and Tobias Harris also have dropped out in recent weeks....

Andre Ward was widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers of his generation during his prime. In fact, he had the tag and mantra on lockdown without much, if any, debate about it. (Yes, running the table at the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament in 2009 definitely earned Ward some major stripes that he kept building upon). But after retiring last September, who does the former undefeated, unified super middleweight and lightweight champion recognize as boxing’s pound-for-pound king as of this very moment?...

Brown, a 42-year-old unarmed man, was shot and killed by police who were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on April 21. Until now, it’s been unclear whether or not the officers involved in the fatal shooting would be criminally charged. “After reviewing the investigation conducted by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Brown’s death, while tragic, was justified because Mr. Brown’s actions caused three deputies with the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office to reasonably believe it was necessary to use deadly force to protect themselves and others,” Womble said at a news conference on Tuesday morning....

James appointed Joon Kim, the former acting U.S. attorney for Manhattan, and Anne Clark, a discrimination attorney, to conduct the investigations. They have both spent months talking to women who claimed Cuomo touched them inappropriately or made sexual remarks. One woman even said he had groped her breasts. He ultimately believes he will be exonerated of allegations of sexual harassment. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below....

2013 was Washington coach Mike Shanahan’s last year in as a head coach in the NFL. The team went 3-13, which was especially a hard blow after winning the NFC East the year before with a 10-6 record. On that team, Matt LaFleur was the quarterbacks coach, Sean McVay was the tight ends coach and Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator. Now, those three coaches are head coaches of the Packers, Rams and 49ers, respectively....

McCarthy, who was sacked on Sunday after the Packers’ 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, gave an “emotional” speech to the locker room on Wednesday, according to interim head coach Joe Philbin. “He did a fantastic job talking to the team, not just about football and winning football games,” Philbin said in quotes published on the Packers’ official website. “His passion for the team and his love for the players was clearly evident....

Packers quarterback Rodgers was not pleased with the “p*** poor” performance of his young wide receivers during a practice session last week. Green Bay packers star Rodgers insisted he has no regrets as the 34-year-old addressed those comments on Monday. “I hope we’re not that soft,” Rodgers said. “I hope we can hear comments or read comments and not get offended by things. “It’s a professional environment; it’s not a personal environment....

Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that Rodgers was ruled out this week. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier in the day that Green Bay was expected to play without him again this week. "As an organization, we are not ready for Aaron Rodgers to play," McCarthy said. This will be the seventh consecutive week that Rodgers has been sidelined. Rodgers has been sidelined since he fractured his collarbone in Week 9 against Chicago....

The Packers’ biggest injury issue is at running back, where Aaron Jones (calf-questionable) is a game-time decision with both Jamaal Williams and A.J. Dillon (COVID-19) not playing. The backfield work could fall on the combination of Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams. The good news is, wide receiver Allen Lazard may return to flank Davante Adams and boost Aaron Rodgers. The 49ers lost quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and tight end George Kittle (foot) to significant injuries last week....

After a rough “Thursday Night Football” loss to the Eagles, the Packers will fly home Sunday with a 34-24 victory over the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. It was one for the record books, too; this game had the most combined yards ever in the Packers-Cowboys rivalry. There was an “Aaron Show” in Jerry World, but not so much Rodgers as Jones. The Packers running back etched his name into the franchise record book, tying a record with four rushing touchdowns....

Pacquiao, who turns 40 in December, returns to the ring a year after losing his World Boxing Organization welterweight title in a shock defeat to Australia’s Jeff Horn in Brisbane. Pacquiao said he chose to fight Matthysse, the current World Boxing Association welterweight champion, because the Argentinian is aggressive and they could both provide “a lot of action” in the ring. “It’s going to be a good fight,” Pacquiao said at a news conference....

What’s new The Padres did very little this offseason, adding Josh Johnson and a couple high-strikeout relievers (Alex Torres, Joaquin Benoit) to their uninspiring collection of fantasy talent. Fantasy owners rarely look to San Diego, and when they did last year, they were largely disappointed. The top Padre in the Fantasy Source Roto Rater was Andrew Cashner (No. 106), who was one of just four San Diego players in the top 200....
