The Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl Halftime Show, as it will officially be called, will air on Fox at NRG Stadium in Houston on Feb. 5, 2017. It will be Lady Gaga’s second time performing on a Super Bowl stage after she sang the national anthem at Super Bowl 50 last February. MORE: 50 years of Super Bowl halftime shows No stranger to controversy, Lady Gaga’s halftime performance will likely be worth watching for the antics just as much as her music....

Often times fans and analysts suspend reality when discussing athletes. Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash, who has been shut down for the season, battled the backlash that comes with that approach in the third episode of Grantland's "The Finish Line" series, which chronicles his approach to coming back from injury. Nash has been criticized for refusing to retire and trying to come back this season, and his teammate Kobe Bryant has taken on similar critiques....

Neither did the Lakers as a team. They missed the playoffs despite having LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Westbrook and a cast of veterans, which led to some serious questions about the team’s future. Some wondered whether Westbrook would be a part of it. He was always going to be a clunky fit next to James, as both are built as primary ball handlers and are not great floor spacers. Last season, he was benched in crucial situations, shopped at the trade deadline and remained a major question mark as to his future with the franchise with free agency looming....

NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Los Angeles has played in the most overtime games this season, aside from the win against Dallas they have also defeated the San Antonio Spurs, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers stars would probably want to avoid going into many overtime games, but at least when they get there, they have shown a resilience that has enabled them to win....

However, they did emerge victorious on that pitch one season ago and will be looking to do the same this time out. Let’s take a look at their predicted lineup. Defence Barcelona’s defensive errors have been visible this season and the Catalans have been nowhere close to last season at the back. Nevertheless, Marc Andre Ter-Stegen is expected to guard the sticks this weekend. Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti look likely to take their places as central defenders while Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba will be looking to start as the full backs....

The Reds have already added the explosive Mohamed Salah - a club record signing at an initial £36.9 million - as well as Under-20 World Cup winner Dominic Solanke and left-back Andy Robertson to their roster ahead of 2017-18. Latest LFC transfer rumours The trio provided Jurgen Klopp with encouragement during the 3-0 pre-season friendly victory over Hertha Berlin on Saturday evening, with the latter making an impressive first impression and the forwards both finishing expertly....

Despite not having the longest Baltimore QB run of the night against the Bears in the Pro Football Hall of Game — that belonged to Josh Woodrum (17 yards) and not Robert Griffin III —Jackson wasted no time in showing off his special athletic ability, both in scrambling (five rushes, 28 yards) and using his mobility to extend plays as a passer. Playing the whole second half following Griffin and Woodrum, his overall passing numbers were in line with being an overwhelmed rookie (4 for 10, 33 yards, one TD, one INT, three sacks, 42....

Lamb banked home a half-court shot at the buzzer and the Hornets beat the Toronto Raptors 115-114, Charlotte’s third straight win. “It feels great,” Lamb said. “We fought so hard the whole game. Everybody who came in contributed and played well. They made a big run late. It just feels good to get that win and cap it off like that.” Toronto looked to have won the game after Kawhi Leonard hit the go-ahead basket with 44 seconds left, then blocked Kemba Walker at the other end....

Lamb had a season-high 19 points and eight rebounds, and Charlotte made light work of the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning 126-94 on Saturday night. Borrego said Lamb was “fantastic,” and now wants to see him bring that same aggressive attack-the-basket mentality every night. “This is where I see Jeremy helping us,” Borrego said. “I think he fits in that starting unit. … I loved his aggressiveness tonight, getting to the rim....

The 2015 PFA Player of the Year suffered a humbling fall from grace last term along with many of his colleagues at Stamford Bridge. It would appear that the Belgium international was merely suffering from an uncharacteristic blip as he, like the rest of the present Premier League leaders’ stars, have been rejuvenated in 2016-17. How Conte made Hazard great again Hazard has already bettered his return from the previous campaign in just 15 outings this time around, finding the target on seven occasions....

But, three months down the road and after 12 league games and four Champions League ties, the team find themselves third in the league table with 24 points, 10 fewer than leaders Barcelona. The team that hardly lost under their manager Zinedine Zidane in the last season and a half, have lost to the likes of Real Betis and Girona, yes, Girona, who were promoted to the top-tier only this season....

Last season we saw Valverde use the 4-4-2, and despite being undefeated in the league, he lost out the battle in conquering the Champions League. This year he has been playing 4-3-3 after the criticism he has received from the fans. Let’s analyse his first few matches this season. Valverde played a 4-3-3 in his first match by promoting Sergi Roberto to the midfield to experiment it once, and so he put Semedo in the right-back position....

Teams hoping to see Barcelona trip up during Robert Lewandowski’s three-match suspension were sorely disappointed, since they continued to rack up the points with Lewandowski now returning in midweek. Real Madrid will need to bring their best to keep pace given they host third-place Real Sociedad on Sunday. And the Basque side has a point to prove of their own that they belong among the contenders. At the bottom of the table, Sevilla have earned back-to-back wins to give them some breathing room, while Cadiz secured three more important points as they continue to recover from those five straight losses to start the season....

It features the foundations of all the body’s organs, including neural and gut tubes that protect the developing spine and intestines. The “world first” could solve the donor shortage crisis and prevent miscarriages. It will also reduce animal experimentation. Cambridge University researchers used a combination of stem cells from mice - without fertilized eggs or sperm.

Despite President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates applying to military personnel, including the National Guard, Stitt sent the Oklahoma National Guard a memo telling troops they are not required to get the shot. According to an Associated Press report, the memo said “no negative administrative or legal action” would be taken against anyone who refuses the vaccine. Stitt asked Austin to suspend the mandate in Oklahoma, but Austin has yet to formally respond....

Madrid are set to finish third this season, with Zinedine Zidane’s side 15 points adrift of Spanish champions and bitter rivals Barcelona. It has been a forgettable campaign for Madrid, who sacked Julen Lopetegui and then Santiago Solari after their Champions League defence came to a shock end at the hands of Ajax in the last 16. Zidane – back at the Santiago Bernabeu for his second stint in charge – is set to overhaul Madrid’s squad but Vazquez defended the team....

On the first pitch of the at-bat, the Rays' third baseman tapped a ground ball to his opposite number, Will Middlebrooks. A couple of steps to the bag and a throw across the diamond later, Lackey was out of trouble, and by the time he returned to the mound, he had a two-run lead. "Lack made a great pitch," Middlebrooks said. "He had a feeling that he was gonna be swinging, and he threw a little cutter, got him out in front....

Nash, now in the second year of his deal, has played only 10 games this season, and he's only suited up in 60 total over the past two years. Still, the Lakers do not feel that they made a mistake in signing Nash, who they expected to work in concert with Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard to bring another title.
