data-mm-id=”_6c5hzf2n1″>Michigan toyed with Purdue in Ann Arbor last night and even allowed a backdoor cover to be gracious hosts yet remained unblemished on the year headed into a huge game against Penn State next week. It was cathartic for the Wolverines to be on the football field, as it always is, while the NCAA investigation into allegedly illegal sign-stealing and whatever the hell else Connor Stalions got up to continues.Boilermakers coach Ryan Walters was the most clear-eyed and open about what's going on in the leadup to Saturday night's game saying that they're not exactly allegations, actually more of some things that happened backed up by video evidence. So no one involved expected he and Jim Harbaugh, noted bad handshaker, to have a nice warm moment at midfield after the final whistle. And guess what, they very much did not care spend even a split-second more than was required. Here's the fly-by, which both parties seemed to be perfectly happy about. “They aren't allegations. It happened. There's video evidence. There's ticket purchases you can track back.” – Purdue Head Coach Ryan Walters on the Michigan Sign Stealing ScandalHere was the “handshake” between him and Harbaugh postgame.THIS LEAGUE.pic.twitter.com/rK4jOf9wR2— Chatterbox Sports (@CBoxSports) November 5, 2023The best part of this is Harbaugh in the postgame suggesting that this was a totally normal shake because, for him, that's probably true. Jim Harbaugh on Ryan Walters and the postgame: “Typical postgame handshake.”— Isaiah Hole (@isaiahhole) November 5, 2023Shakeologists have to be happy that Michigan still has James Franklin and Ryan Day on the schedule. Both of those contests could go either way so the event horizon is wide-open for more midfield ice and daggers.

As the final stretch of the 2018/19 season unfolds, Arsenal welcomed Napoli at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal clash.
Domestically, these two teams could hardly be in a situation more different to one another in terms of need for points. Arsenal are currently fifth in the Premier League, in the midst of a very tight top-four race aiming to ensure Champions League football next season regardless of the outcome of their campaign in Europe. Napoli are quite comfortable in that aspect. They ve lost all chances of the Serie A title with a 20-point deficit behind leaders Juventus, but they have a firm grasp of the second place with seven points more than Inter Milan in third and 12 more than AC Milan and Atalanta who occupy positions four and…
Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in Australia will provide important experience for the forthcoming season, following a second-half fightback from Steven Gerrard s side.
Jadon Sancho scored his third goal in four pre-season games with a first-half volley, which was added to by an own goal, but Leon Bailey pulled one back for Villa in the second half before Calum Chambers equaliser in the dying moments.
The draw ends United s perfect pre-season run so far, having won each of their three games prior to the clash against their fellow Premier League side, but Ten Hag has seen the positives and believes the setback can provide an education for the upcoming season.
First half, it was a decent performance, second half, we came bac…
Patrice Evra has had a turbulent 2017 to say the least. The French full-back was sacked by Marseille after attacking a fan, but does he have any regrets? No chance.
Evra had his deal at the Stade Velodrome terminated in November after being handed a season-long ban by UEFA for kicking out at a supporter before Marseille s 1-0 Europa League loss to Vitoria Guimaraes.
But Evra has already put the incident behind him and is living for the moment as 2018 approaches.
In the latest must-see Instagram video from the 36-year-old, he wishes his followers a happy new year while listening to Edith Piaf s Non, je ne regrette rien .
With the video – in which Evra is sat with his feet up on a desk – the left-back posted: You should live in the present like its …

Steve Bruce is sure his struggling Hull City can finish higher in the Premier League than last season and is eyeing a revival at Sunderland.
Hull have endured a miserable 10-match winless run their last victory coming over Crystal Palace on October 4 leaving them second from bottom at Christmas.

Roy Hodgson believes managing England at the FIFA World Cup is the pinnacle of his career and is determined to succeed in Brazil.
The 66-year-old replaced Fabio Capello in May 2012 after the Italian tendered his resignation, and Hodgson successfully guided England to the football s showpiece tournament without losing a game.
Hodgson who managed Switzerland at the 1994 tournament was in charge for England s UEFA Euro 2012 campaign, but he feels leading his country at the World Cup will surpass that moment.
Yes, I suppose it is (the biggest moment of my career), he said. Going to the Euros was previously the biggest, they re both superb tournaments.
Going into this tournament, I ve been with the players for two years, I feel more at home; everyone s aware of what i…
English football clubs are spending hundreds of millions of pounds on new players ahead of the 2008/09 Premier League season but are also selling big stars to balance their books amid the credit crunch.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are among the biggest spenders this close season as they seek to snatch the Premier League crown from Manchester United, but all three have also sold key players for large sums.
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood warned in July that the ongoing credit crunch, which has caused banks around the world to substantially reduce their lending, should be a serious concern for England s biggest clubs.
People need to be waking up to the realities of the world and that the days of easy money have come to a pretty sudden end, Hill-Wood told Ar…
Legia Warsaw have signed Spaniard Iñaki Astiz from Osasuna. The defender will sign a five-year contract.
Legia coach Jan Urban trained Astiz when he was in charge at Osasuna B. When he moved to Warsaw in the summer of 2007 he persuaded his new employers to get the player on loan.
The Basque became a key player in Legia s defence winning 23 league appearances and scoring one goal. Despite the offer made to the Spanish side to extend the loan, Osasuna wanted Iñaki to return considering him part of the wide squad for the 2008/09 season. The player wanted to fight for the place in the Primera Division team as well.

Watford have agreed a new five-year deal with captain Troy Deeney, ending reports linking him with a move to Premier League champions Leicester City.
Deeney enjoyed an impressive debut season in the top flight last term, scoring 13 times and supplying seven assists as Watford finished 13th.
The 28-year-old was a reported target in January for Arsenal, while the Hornets are believed to have turned down an offer of £30 million from Leicester since the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

Germany coach Joachim Low has reiterated his gratitude for the solidarity shown to his players on the night of the Paris terror attacks but insisted it will not be a factor in Thursday s Euro 2016 semi-final in Marseille.
It was November 13, 2015 when a series of atrocities were carried out across the French capital killing 130 people with one bomb set off outside the Stade de France where France were hosting the world champions in an international friendly.
When it became apparent after the final whistle that the players safety would be compromised if they left the venue, both teams camped down on mattresses at the ground with the French team refusing to leave until their German counterparts had been cleared to depart.
