SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif.—It’s 5:39 a.m. in Orange County, and Chargers coach Brandon Staley is in a rush to get to work 25 minutes away. But he can’t rush his drive too much through the thick fog enveloping the area around his home, not far from the Pacific Ocean.

If losing to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl will stick with Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman as long as he expects — “It’s always going to be there.” — then the stakes of facing his alma mater in the first game of his first season as the Irish head coach may be higher than anyone has realized.
The Pakistan Cricket Board say they are confident Shaheen Afridi will be fit to play at the T20 World Cup.
What were you doing in the summer of 2015? The Golden State Warriors had just won their first NBA title, the Seattle Seahawks were still complaining about Malcolm Butler's Super Bowl interception, and the Kansas City Royals were gearing up for their World Series title. That is when John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens last lost a preseason game. Their inexplicable win streak reached 23 games on Saturday, thanks to a defensive stand against Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders. Yes, there were no-names roaming around but their ability to keep churning out victories does say something. No one has put an exact finger on what exactly it says but we do know it does resonate — especially with bettors. The 17-15 Baltimore victory means the ATS run drops to 20-3 but it's still another win.
Asia Cup in Dubai. "The reaction to losing to India has not been the usual criticism because in the build up to the match the camaraderie shown by players of both teams towards each other was brilliant while our team also fought hard till the final over," Pakistan's former captain Moin Khan said.
The first delivery was negotiated by India captain Rohit Sharma easily with a single on the leg side. Then KL Rahul came on strike. Naseem ran in, fast and furious, with the raw energy of a teenager looking to bowl fast. Rahul, making a comeback after an injury, counted on his experience to negate the threat but erred in reading the line of the delivery. Naseem hurled a 142kph snorter, Rahul just dangled his bat, at an angle, neither vertical, nor horizontal. The ball took the edge and crashed into the stumps. Rahul hung his head and walked back, a first ball duck, Naseem took off, chased by his teammates, finally caught by wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan and then embraced by all his teammates and congratulated for his maiden T20I wicket.
The two teams don't play bilateral series anymore, which means that the players don't get to visit each others' homes etc., but on the field there is ample evidence of player bonhomie and mutual respect, like we saw in Sunday's Asia Cup match, which turned out to be quite the thriller that India won by 5 wickets. But there was a time when an India-Pakistan cricket match was almost sure to produce some on-field altercation or banter. One unforgettable instance was the Kiran More vs Javed Miandad incident in the 1992 World Cup, which every hard core Indian and Pakistan cricket fan will remember or know about.
