Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is part of an investment group that is trying to keep the Crew in Columbus. Crew’s current owner Anthony Precourt has made it clear in recent months he would like to relocate the team to Austin, Texas. He reportedly wanted to put the team in either Columbus or Austin, whichever one would build him a stadium. MLS, though, is still planning to introduce an Austin team, saying “there is a clear path forward” to operate a franchise in the area....

That could be a blessing for first-year coach Kevin Stefanski, and more success after last year’s 6-10 disaster should follow. You remember the Browns’ hype last offseason. It was over the top after GM John Dorsey traded for Odell Beckham Jr. on the heels of a record-setting rookie season by Baker Mayfield. Freddie Kitchens proclaimed, “If you don’t wear brown and orange, you don’t matter.” Cleveland had four prime-time games on the schedule....

Arians said it was “in the best interest” of the Buccaneers to bring them back. MORE: Bucs slip in SN’s latest NFL power rankings The pair were suspended each of the past three games by the NFL for misrepresenting their COVID vaccination statuses.

The 30 for 30 doc also dealt with the actor’s death at 32, an event that led many distraught fans to think up rumors and conspiracy theories detailing how they think the Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury legend really died. The facts as we know them, however, are these: Lee died in Hong Kong on July 20, 1973. He suffered a cerebral edema, a building up of fluids around the brain, after taking a prescription painkiller called Equagesic, a drug that would be discontinued in the U....

England’s Matt Wallace will join the two Americans out on the tee at 3:10 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET) on Thursday as the 148th edition of the oldest major in the world gets underway. Woods and Reed were part of the U.S. team that failed to defend the Ryder Cup in France last year and between them have won the last two editions of the Masters. A three-time Open winner, Woods finished tied for sixth at Carnoustie, Scotland, a year ago but has since ended his 11-year wait for a major when he triumphed at Augusta, Georgia, in April....

Portrush is the only venue outside England and Scotland to have hosted golf’s oldest major, but has done so just once, in 1951. Almost seven decades on, local favorite Darren Clarke hit the first tee shot on Thursday morning as the 148th edition of the Open got underway. The tournament is the only one of the four majors to take place outside the U.S., which makes it the hardest to follow for American fans....

Spears, who recently emerged from a 13-year conservatorship, experienced a very public breakdown in 2007, culminating in a disastrous performance of her song “Gimme More” at the VMAs. A viral Twitter thread by user @mattxiv pointed out how iCarly creator and director Schneider parodied Spears in the episode titled “iFix a Pop Star.” Schneider is also the creator of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101, which saw Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn Spears lead the cast, and was created especially for her....

Fox cameras caught defensive tackle Mike Purcell screaming in Russell Wilson’s face on the sideline amid the team’s offensive struggles. Wilson, rarely confrontational, didn’t react harshly but did say something back to Purcell. Purcell didn’t target Wilson when asked about the incident after the game, telling reporters he’s frustrated with “everything” and saying he wanted to “spark” the team. The Broncos fell to 3-8 with the loss. As some have already pointed out on social media, the confrontation occurred right behind embattled coach Nathaniel Hackett, who later said he didn’t see it....

Although Decker told SiriusXM NFL Radio that it's not "all about the money," he doesn't want to short-change himself. PHOTOS: See high school photos of NFL stars "If we can get on the same page, I will welcome a call from the Broncos, but I need to do what is best for my family," Decker said.

McCown suffered a left shoulder injury in Sunday’s loss to the Ravens and briefly left the game to get checked in the locker room. Before he left, the Browns had put up 20 points in the first quarter. After his injury, Cleveland didn’t score. The news comes after an update to Robert Griffin III’s status that wasn’t good. Before Sunday, there was some belief that RGIII would return near the midway point of the season....

That rhetorical question is not only directed towards general scrutinizers of Johnny Manziel’s weekend antics, but also Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who isn’t pleased with his freshly drafted quarterback’s off-field impact thus far. TUCKER: Put stock in Johnny Manziel and you may end up broke ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said Friday that Manziel’s latest party appearance, in which he confuses a stack of cash for a telephone , “did not sit well with the owner Jimmy Haslam, who did instruct his staff to at least have a talk with Johnny about being more savvy as he deals with social media,” according to a Cleveland....

Arians led the Colts to a 9-3 record during Pagano’s absence. Those nine wins still remain the most by an interim coach in NFL history. After the 2012 season, Arians was a popular choice to fill any head coaching vacancies. Especially after becoming the first non-head coach to win the AP NFL Coach of the Year. The Arizona Cardinals hired him almost immediately as the Colts’ 2012 season concluded. Arians led the Cardinals to a 58-35-1 record as their head coach in his five seasons, holding the most wins by a single Cardinals coach....

Holmes began Sunday in third place on the leaderboard, trailing Shane Lowry by six shots at 10 under par. Yet as Lowry held his nerve magnificently amid challenging weather conditions to secure the Claret Jug with a closing 72, Holmes fell away in remarkable fashion, carding a 16-over 87. His horrendous round featured one triple-bogey at the 11th and doubles at the first, 12th, 17th and 18th, while a solitary birdie came at the seventh....

In the letter to parliament member as chair of the Committees on Arms Export Controls, Truss described, “two inadvertent breaches,” and one other that was investigated but found not to be a breach. In June 2019, the second-highest court in the United Kingdom, the Court of Appeals, ruled that the government would not “grant any new licenses for the export of arms or military equipment to Saudi Arabia for possible use in the conflict in Yemen....

The sisters have both referenced the situation on social media, with the elder directly calling out her family members for not supporting her during her difficult times. Following the appointment of her new lawyer last week, in a major victory towards ending her conservatorship, Britney Spears took to Instagram on Friday where she lashed out at those who did not help her while she was “drowning” but are now showing support publicly to “save face....

There’s still excitement around Madonna, too, but that didn’t help her most recent album, “American Life,” which debuted at No. 1, then plummeted. (The album has sold only 578,000 copies to date, and a ho-hum Gap ad hasn’t helped matters.) It’s too soon to be sure how Britney’s new album will do, but in the meantime she’s staying busy weaving Madonna-esque mystique. In a recent interview on CNN, she spoke fondly of her girl-on-girl smooch before declaring her unwavering trust in George W....

Pop superstar Spears, 39, announced on Sunday that she was engaged to model, actor and personal trainer Asghari, 27. Oscar-winning actress Spencer, 51, was among the thousands who commented on the post. But on Wednesday, the Hidden Figures star walked back on her remark, saying that she intended to “make them laugh” rather than “cause pain.” Posting a picture of the newly engaged couple on her Instagram account, Spencer wrote: “Y’all, a few days ago Sam and Britney announced their engagement and me being me I made a joke....
