“It’s not easy to win,” Swinney told reporters (via ESPN). “I know we’re supposed to destroy everybody, like nobody else has scholarships, nobody else has coaches. It doesn’t work that way. We’re just normal people. There’s nothing special about us. We’re not perfect. We don’t coach perfect. Unfortunately, we don’t play perfect every down, every game, but we found a way to win an ugly game. “But it’s disrespectful to just put it all on us....

During Sunday’s final news conference before the game, Swinney was asked about Lawson’s status. Swinney’s response: Yeah. Yeah, we expect him to play. Hopefully he’ll be able to perform and play to the level that we all know he can, but you know, if not, I don’t think Coach Saban is going to cancel the game over there. We’re going to have to keep playing, so we’ll put the next guy in there....

The new regulations have been put in place to slow the spread of coronavirus, and came shortly after the city recorded its largest number of coronavirus cases in a single day, with 84 cases on Thursday and 47 recorded on Friday. Cleveland has total of 2,535 confirmed coronavirus cases and 77 deaths due to COVID-19. “The spike in coronavirus cases across the City of Cleveland warrants the mandated use of masks,” Jackson said in a statement....

Unlike Californian Sheehan, these protesters are homegrown. When Minnesota’s Republican Sen. Norm Coleman looks out his picture window, he sees a sign directly across the street on his neighbor’s lawn that says, SUPPORT THE TROOPS, END THE WAR. Coleman has spoken out against the war effort, but has yet to break with his party to join the Democrats in setting a timetable for withdrawal. He is one of 10 Republican senators on the target list for the campaign....

The Los Angeles Clippers wouldn’t have it any other way. Williams scored the Clippers’ final 10 points in overtime after they blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, and they hung on Monday night to beat the Golden State Warriors at home for the first time in nearly four years, 121-116.

CSK were looking set for a huge win after KKR had lost 5 wickets for 51 after 9 overs in a chase of 158. But the 80-run partnership between Russell and Doeschate off just 45 balls changed everything. Despite the great escape, Dhoni conceded in the post-match presentation that 157 was a below-par score at this ground.

Corona, a San Diego native, made the short trip across the border to play in Tijuana’s academy and signed with the senior team in 2010.

That's because Australia, fabled in story and song as the Land Down Under, may be responsible for injuries to Dogers ace Clayton Kershaw and others, according to one Dodger. OK, the unnamed player didn't exactly blame the entire continent. But he did tell the Los Angeles Times he suspected his team's trip to play the Diamondbacks at Sydney Cricket Ground on March 22 and 23 may have played a role in injuries to Kershaw and reliever Brian Wilson....

Inflammatory breakouts respond well to benzoyl peroxide cleansers, which can reduce bacteria responsible for acne. If you are using any acne treatment medications, like Retin-A or BenzaClin, cleansing with medicated products may not be a good idea. Instead, use a mild cleanser such as Cetaphil. Whatever cleanser you choose, it should leave your skin clean but not too tight, dry, itchy, or red. Feeling overwhelmed? Ask your dermatologist or esthetician to recommend a few....

Abraham, who is at the Liberty Stadium on a season-long loan from Chelsea, suffered a back injury in Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Burnley, leaving the field on a stretcher after attempting to play through obvious pain. The 20-year-old is Swansea’s top goalscorer with four Premier League strikes this season - although he has not scored since October 14 - and Clement believes Abraham will be available for a crunch clash against the Cherries....

As much as Cleveland and Golden State became annual opponents in the NBA Finals before James left the Cavaliers last summer to join the Los Angeles Lakers after losing the title for the third time in four years to Curry and the Warriors, Clemson and Alabama have squared off in the winter to help determine college football’s champion. The Tigers are set to square off against the Crimson Tide for the fourth straight year in the College Football Playoff in Monday night’s title game....

Speaking with CBS’ Dennis Dodd last week, the 50-year-old revealed he had flown to his house in Florida with a private plane last month and was considering repeating the trip as a family holiday for Easter. While South Carolina, where Swinney is based, isn’t among the states to have issued a shelter-in-place order, his admission went down like a lead balloon as millions of Americans have been told to limit their non-essential travel and adhere to social distancing measures as the country battles with the coronavirus pandemic....
