For Dinamo Minsk winger Sergei Drozd here, it might’ve been that. Or it might’ve been a goddamn puck that just wouldn’t flatten out.

About the only thing left to determine for the San Francisco 49ers will be if 2016 will go down as the worst season ever in franchise history. After losing their franchise-record 13th straight game on Sunday in Atlanta, the Niners (1-13) must win their final two games to avoid matching, or breaking, the team record for losses in a season. San Francisco can tie the single-season loss record reached in 1978, 1979 and 2004 by losing at the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

A torn finger ligament could keep Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor out of Cleveland’s final two games. Pryor was hurt in Sunday’s 33-13 loss to the Bills, dropping the Browns (0-14) to within two losses of becoming the second 0-16 team in NFL history. Coach Hue Jackson said Monday that Pryor’s ability to play through pain will determine whether he’ll be on the field for Saturday’s home game against San Diego.

Why Does Triathlon Have Such A Clean Image?

It is almost impossible to believe that cycling, track and field, and swimming aren’t rife with doping. A large swath of top cyclists have tested positive for PEDs or admitted doping; track and field had state-sponsored doping programs in Eastern Germany, China, and Russia, along with hundreds of other athletes testing positive for PEDs; swimming has had fewer widespread doping scandals, but dozens of swimmers have tested positive for PEDs, and the doping suspension and reinstatement of Yulia Efimova, and the doping accusations leveled at Katinka Hosszu, were huge stories at the Olympics.

As expected, this season that looked like it might be The One is beginning to reveal itself to be just like all the others.
