IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS FOR MICHIGAN

  OF ALL COLLEGE THINGS:   ---- THE LAUGHTER you hear comes from SEC Haters of the  World now that new LSU football coach  LANE KIFFIN  has  brought such chaos that the league has scheduled a meeting  Thursday with the possible outcome removal of the school from  the conference … unlikely though it may seem. With the recent attempt by a handful of NFL rejects, with  remaining college eligibility, to return to their respective  schools of greater learning ... being seen generally as against  the greater good, the SEC presidents, who allegedly control  such things, voted 15-0 (with one abstention) to ignore a court  order and tell them they would not be welcome. Kiffin, meanwhile, decided he knew better and said he would  use a couple of former team members … who were placed on  the roster but did not appear in the season-opening 51-10 rout  of Clemson. Now, despite the presidential ruling, Kiffin  contin...

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED ,,,, ARSENAL TRIED AGAIN ,,, TO PERECTION

  NOTHING BUT SOCCER … (world class variety) ... … . At first, he appeared stunned, head in hands ... after a player who  was on the bench, with little chance of getting on the field, only  minutes earlier had replaced a questionably-injured teammate and  scored (for the first time in nine years) the game-tying goal on virtually  the last play to give the home team at least a sense of success …  which, until the final minutes, seemed outrageous, at best. Then, as he  walked off the pitch, Manchester United coach  MICHAEL  CARRICK’s expression changed to one of dark, if not desperate,  determination. And ManU fans could only hope [cliché alert]  heads  will roll  as a result. Once again his defense let him down. Both Everton goals were set up  directly by weak, errant attempts to clear … the second (by veteran   NOUSSAIR MAHARRAMI   going directly to recent addition   AINSLEY MAITLAND-NILES   ,29, w...

SPORTS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ... UNLESS YOU ARE CURT CIGNETTI

  BRIEFLY TOLD (I hope) … …  You want crazy?  ENZO FERNANDEZ  cost Manchester  City $169 million – Yes … MILLION – to acquire him from  Chelsea. Yet he was scheduled to be on the bench Saturday at  the outset of an EPL match with Coventry City. That is, until  another of his high-priced teammates was injured during  warmup. City led 1-0 at halftime on  ERLING HAALAND’s  diving header for goal in the 26 th  minute … Who else? … He also was  stopped one on one by goalkeeper  CARL RUSHWORTH  in a  wild opening 45 that saw Coventry’s   JAIWO AWO NIYI   miss  a wide-open net … Man City’s playmaking midfielder   CHERKI  slam a shot off the left upright and keeper   GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA   mishandle a pass that barely  missed being an own goal. The ball actually crossed the  line...but not all of it, according to VAR, which NBC/USA  didn’t bother to show us. Haaland’...
