Fulltime Thoughts: Leeds won the first half, Everton won the second, and that’s about the right result.

90+5’ – Final whistle goes, it’s 1-1 the final score. No wins in the last five home games for the Blues, and the inquisition for their form at Hill Dickinson will continue.
90+4’ – Deep bouncing ball in the Everton half causes confusion, O’Brien collects the ball but promptly gives it away and a hitherto-injured Buonanotte magically is healed and jumps up to fire a shot that Tarky blocks for a corner.

It’s been fairly clear for years that the Pro Bowl (sorry, the “Pro Bowl Games”) no longer matters to the NFL or its players. But nothing signals the end of the Pro Bowl like Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders being named to the AFC roster as a replacement.
No, this is not a joke. Sanders, who started seven games for Cleveland and threw more interceptions (10) than touchdown passes (7) while completing just 56% of his passes, is a Pro Bowler. 
Sanders isn’t the first ridiculous Pro Bowl quarterback selection in recent memory.

Man, it must really suck to be a fan of the New York Jets these days!
I mean, I can’t throw stones in a glass house, being a fan of the Miami Dolphins, a team that hasn’t been to an AFC Championship game since I was a month and a half old.
But my point stands, Jets fans have it tougher than just about anyone.
They haven’t had a lot to cheer about in the past few decades, as their glory years came during the Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan era when Barack Obama was just getting settled in at the White House.

The International Olympic Committee apparently won’t be coming to the rescue of an American skeleton racer who believes that she was unjustly denied the chance to qualify for her sixth Winter Games.
The global governing body declined to act on a request from the U.S.

This is a massive week for professional golf.
We have reached the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines and in general we are talking about one of the more awesome events that the PGA Tour has to offer. This is hardly a normal week, though.
You see, the Farmers this year represents more than just its standard top-notch tournament. This year the Farmers will serve as Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour after being away at LIV Golf and the world wants to see it all.
ESPN is here to answer our call.

The 2026 Formula 1 season got off to its unofficial start on Monday in Barcelona.
Monday kicked off five days of private, closed-door testing ahead of the 2026 F1 season. The grid will look very different this season, and not just because Cadillac is joining the sport as the 11th team. F1 has implemented a host of new technical regulations, aimed at making the cars lighter, smaller, and more agile.

The Denver Broncos‘ season is officially over, coming one step short of reaching the Super Bowl. The focus now shifts to the offseason.
About a month after Super Bowl LX, the new league year will go into effect.

The Los Angeles Rams‘ special season came to a stunning end in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday night, losing Round 3 of their series with the Seattle Seahawks, 31-27. It was yet another heartbreaking loss for Sean McVay’s squad, but the simple fact of the matter is they did not play well enough to beat arguably the best team in the league.
The offense couldn’t get into the end zone late in the fourth quarter, and the defense couldn’t get the stops it needed throughout the night. And we already know the costly mistake made by L.A.’s special teams unit.

The Kansas City Chiefs‘ offense hasn’t been what we’ve been used to seeing over the past couple of seasons.
With Matt Nagy helping Andy Reid, the offense appeared to lose some of the zip it had with Eric Bieniemy.

The Cleveland Browns landed three Pro Bowlers this season, not two. Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward made it, which was expected. The third name is where things get interesting.
Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is going to the Pro Bowl. That’s a bit of a head-scratcher when you remember what happened on draft day. Sanders was getting first-round buzz for months, then fell all the way to the fifth round.
