Lovren rolled away with his hands to his face as Lukaku freed himself and replays of the incident suggested the Belgium international caught him with the heel of his boot.

Miles said last week that if the 6-9 Simmons was “interested in taking some snaps,” he would be welcome to try his hand at receiver. MORE: SEC coach rankings | All-SEC team “I can give him a goal-line position where I would throw it to him,” Miles said, via the Baton Rouge Advocate. “All he’s got to prove to me is one thing: That he can catch. If he can catch, which certainly we would all predict in this room that he could, he would set the NCAA record for touchdowns....

The reason is something called “effects-based targeting.” That is military jargon for making it up as you go. For years, bombing campaigns had to be mapped out for days in advance. Planners would design grand blueprints and leave the tactical details to the ops people. But now, thanks to spy-in-the-sky satellites, planes with sophisticated downward-looking radar–and, especially, unmanned drones that can loiter over the battlefield–the Air Force can be much more flexible and nimble....

Phantom goal, phantom Barca Shortly after Barca had fallen behind to Alex Alegria’s opener, referee Jose Hernandez Hernandez failed to spot Alba turn the ball clearly over the line. The visitors did equalise late on through Luis Suarez, but Luis Enrique wants to see referees helped when it comes to these decisions, with La Liga yet to incorporate goal-line technology. “I saw a picture [of the shot], but the referees need help,” the Barca coach said....

Here, we look at some of the key games the 32-year-old will miss....

They enter the league as instant sensations, thrilling basketball fans while playing for rebuilding teams. Then, the expectations quickly arrive, and if they aren’t reaching the postseason and making deep runs, the criticism gets louder.

The problem is that luxury watchmakers are used to the premium price tag associated with their products, and that simply doesn’t translate to smartwatches in the fast-paced world of technology. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s a terrible idea for both watchmakers and consumers, and anyone tempted should steer well clear of ultra-premium luxury wearables – right now, anyway. It shouldn’t come as a shock that smartwatches from established brands like Montblanc and Hublot are much more expensive than standard smartwatches....

Seattle will now fight through the season to try to become only the 11th team since 2007 to make the playoffs after opening with two losses.
