NFL quarterback great Peyton Manning was preparing to launch the second phase of his career in Denver on Sunday as the man who replaced him in Indianapolis endured a rough welcome to the NFL. Manning’s official Denver debut — and his first meaningful contest in 20 months — was the center of attention on the first full Sunday of action in the NFL’s 2012 season. The Broncos were hosting a Pittsburgh Steelers squad aiming to avenge the defeat that ended their 2011 season....

Both quarterbacks have similar skill sets, being able to effectively run a read-option offense. Griffin would be a cheaper option for Cleveland considering there wouldn’t be any other moving pieces involved, and it sounds as if the team is somewhat interested in him.

Coach Mike Pettine announced Saturday that Shanahan has decided to resign after one season. Pettine also announced that quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains has left the team. Shanahan, 35, the son of longtime NFL coach Mike Shanahan, presided over an anemic offense that finished 27th in points scored in the NFL for 2014. He joined the Browns in Feb. 2014 after four seasons as offensive coordinator for the Redskins under his father....

It seems to have worked. The wide receiver-needy Browns were quick to put in a waiver claim and on Monday were granted the quarterback-turned-receiver. Earlier in the morning, Pryor acknowledged his plans to become a wide receiver in a since-deleted tweet.

With Jackson’s team now 0-7 after a frustrating 12-9 overtime loss, it’s more evident that the coach is a big part of the problem and isn’t contributing to the solution. And now that he’s 1-22 overall in less than 1 1/2 seasons at the helm, it’s also clear the Browns need to make a change before 2018, and maybe sometime soon in 2017. Jackson came in with a lot of promise last offseason as an accomplished offensive mind and respected motivator, but as the team remains in its massive rebuild, he has mismanaged games and failed to maximize the talent he does have....

Holmes, whose previous best finish at a major was third in the same tournament at Royal Troon three years ago, stands alone after a 5-under-par 66 on Thursday. That puts the Kentucky native one stroke clear of Shane Lowry, while Jon Rahm – in fine form after winning the Irish Open earlier this month – had reached 5 under before two late bogeys on the Dunluce Links left him in a mammoth clutch of 13 players in a tie for third....

“She is not a girl,” said Dr. Gustav von Helmholtz, who organized the Dusseldorf event. “However, she is not yet a woman.” The question of whether Britney Spears is a girl or a woman has puzzled scientists for years, so the Dusseldorf findings–that Ms. Spears is not a girl, not yet a woman–represent a significant breakthrough. Furthermore, the news that Ms. Spears is not a girl, not yet a woman is crucial, the conference participants appear to be saying, because it will determine how people treat the multi-platinum artist in the future....

Aldean captioned the video in question, which showed a before-and-after makeup transformation, “I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life.” Her husband, country star Jason Aldean, responded in the comments, “Lmao!! Im [sic] glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out.” Aldean’s post seemed to tacitly mock the parents of children who are trans or gender-questioning....

According to ProFootballTalk, Beckham is expected to be released on Friday once Beckham and the Browns are able to revise the terms of his contract. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the team is working to reduce his cap number to lower its financial obligation to Beckham. Later Friday morning, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said in a statement that the Browns will release Beckham. “After careful consideration, internal discussions and conversations with Odell and his representation, we’ve determined that it is in the best interest of all parties involved that Odell no longer play for the Cleveland Browns,” Berry said....

The 65-year-old New York native will take charge of the national team on December 1, replacing German Jürgen Klinsmann, who was fired Monday after more than five years in the job, US Soccer announced on Tuesday. Arena led the side to a record 71 wins during his 1998-2006 tenure, which included two World Cup tournaments. He is currently with the LA Galaxy. “When we considered the possible candidates to take over the men’s national team at this time, Bruce was at the top of the list,” US Soccer President Sunil Gulati said, citing Arena’s “experience at the international level, understanding of the requirements needed to lead a team through World Cup qualifying, and proven ability to build a successful team....
