ESPN Goals app passes 1m downloads
ESPN Goals app passes 1m downloads - The landmark was reached last weekend with viewers generating over 63.1m minutes of viewing time via the app.
The app, ESPN Goals, was originally a subscription-funded proposition when it launched at the start of last season.
The relaunched app, which has new features such as video goal alerts, generated 50m page views in the two months since its launch and also helped drive referrals for premium TV subscriptions, according to ESPN.
The broadcaster has also announced that EA, Continental Tyres and cosmetics brand Mentholatum have all agreed to run short pre-roll video ads around clips within the app this season. ESPN will also run display ads.
Tom Gleeson, ESPN International’s VP digital media, said, “The app reflects our approach to bringing fans multi-screen access to football, which is something we will continue to enhance as our business grows in the UK.”
Earlier in the season, which kicked off in August, ESPN struck a deal with Bet365 to feature a “bet now” button on the Goals app, which let users access the latest odds the bookmaker’s website.

Ever the proud, doting mother she fed the 2-month-old milk from her bottle and held her lovingly as the boys kept a keen eye on David.

Lewis Hamilton pays tribute to 'inspirational' British racing driver killed in IndyCar
Father-of-two, 33, pushed himself to win as the only competitor to take up the $5million challenge
I could see within five laps people were starting to do crazy stuff,' says fellow racer Dario Franchitti
Driver was 'frustrated' with car problems in the days before the race but promised 'pure entertainment'
Voiced concerns about the speeds cars were reaching and crowded 1.5-mile long track
Shocked Lewis Hamilton says Wheldon was an 'inspirational guy and talented driver'
Former racing driver Mark Blundell brands Las Vegas track as a 'recipe for disaster'
Tragedy: Dan Wheldon's number 77 car, far left, launches into the air after clipping a vehicle that was in front of it. Moments later Mr Wheldon smashes into the fencing to his right
The fiery pile-up, on the 11th lap of the 300-mile race, was caused by contact on Turn 2 and sucked in almost half of the race’s 34 participants.
Mr Wheldon, a former private school pupil originally from Buckinghamshire, was rushed to hospital in a helicopter but died as a result of his severe 'unsurvivable' injuries.
As the racing world today came to terms with the death, leading figures from the sport paid tribute to the 'talented and inspirational driver'.
Lewis Hamilton, who was the 2008 Formula One World Champion, said: 'This is an extremely sad day. Dan was a racer I'd followed throughout my career, as I often followed in his footsteps as we climbed the motorsport ladder in the UK.
'He was an extremely talented driver. As a British guy, who not only went over to the States but who twice won the Indy 500, he was an inspirational guy, and someone that every racing driver looked up to with respect and admiration.
'This is a tragic loss at such a young age. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this extremely difficult time.'
Jenson Button wrote on Twitter: 'Just woken up to the most horrific news. Dan Weldon RIP. I have so many good memories of racing with Dan in the early 90s, a true fighter. We've lost a legend in our sport but also a great guy.'

SF Giants sued over team logo
SF Giants sued over team logo_It was a deeply dissatisfying year on the diamond for the World Champion San Francisco Giants, who seemingly gave up hits and runs for Lent and toppled right out of playoff contention. So it was eerily symbolic — if no less frustrating — when the team was actually barred from trademarking its ubiquitous script "San Francisco" logo.

west virginia big 12
West virginia big 12 - West Virginia has applied for admission to the Big 12 and has been accepted, sources confirmed to Sporting News Tuesday. The Charleston Daily Mail first reported WVU's conference change.
WVU would have to pay the Big East’s current exit fee of $5 million and would be expected to uphold the same 27-month wait that Syracuse and Pitt, which left for the ACC, most comply with.
Sources told the Daily Mail that the decision has been approved on both sides. WVU officials will meet today to discuss the resolution and an announcement will likely be made when Missouri says it will leave the Big 12 for the SEC.
world series game 6
world series game 6 - Inclement weather and Major League Baseball pushed Game 6 of the World Series back to Thursday, but that doesn't mean the Rangers are changing their tune on a potential Game 7 starter.
Texas manager Ron Washington maintained Wednesday that lefty Matt Harrison will follow Game 6 starter Colby Lewis if a decisive Game 7 is necessary on Friday night.
"Harrison has been a big part of this team all year," Washington said. "I am not changing the things that I've been doing all year. That's why we are where we are and that's why I'm saying Harrison."
Top NFL Athletes Overpaid and Underpaid
world series
world series - An afterthought in early September, the St. Louis Cardinals are taking their wild ride all the way to the World Series.
David Freese hit a three-run homer in the first and manager Tony La Russa turned again to his brilliant bullpen for seven sturdy innings as St. Louis captured its 18th pennant with a 12-6 victory over the bumbling Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday night.
Albert Pujols and the wild-card Cardinals took out the heavily favored Phillies in the first round, then dispatched the division-rival Brewers on their own turf in Game 6 of the NL championship series.
Baltimore vs jacksonville
Baltimore vs jacksonville - The Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens meet on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
While there was an ultimatum handed down before the season to Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach Jack Del Rio to win now or be gone, it looks like barring an epic run, Del Rio will be gone as the Jags are 1-5 coming into this game. When Jacksonville spent their first round draft pick on QB Blaine Gabbert it was just a matter of time before he would be starting but after David Garrard was let go before the season the time came soon. Thus far Gabbert has completed just 48.8 percent of his passes for 717 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions while being sacked 14 times. Gabeert’s numbers aren’t helping take the opposing defenses focus on Maurice Jones-Drew who is still averaging 4.8 yards per carry and has scored two touchdowns on the ground.
David Freese: Named World Series MVP
Down to their final strike in Game 6, the Cardinals' reluctant hero delivered a tying two-run triple in the ninth inning Thursday night. Freese then did one better: a leadoff homer in the 11th that gave St. Louis a dramatic win over the Texas Rangers and forced the first World Series Game 7 since 2002.

Jordan is the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, and had to back out as the NBA continues its lockout of players. Couples replaced him with John Cook.
David Freese cardinals
Nobody said “best.” Every mistake known to baseball, and some heretofore undiscovered, was perpetrated by the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals in the first eight innings on this chilly night that broke the impossible meter not once but several times. But, oh, those last three innings.

Minnesota Vs Green Bay
The Vikings lost their most talented cover man, second-year pro Chris Cook, for the season because he’s on leave after being charged with felony domestic assault.

Nnamdi Asomugha's injury - Asomugha’s status uncertain after knee injury, Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha(notes) was carted off the practice field Thursday with a knee injury.
"CB Nnamdi Asomugha has left practice with an apparent knee injury," the team wrote on its Twitter page. "He has been taken by cart into locker room."
The injury is the Asomugha's left knee, according to Sirius/XM Radio, but the severity wasn't immediately known. Coach Andy Reid wasn't made available to the media after practice.
Cornerback Joselio Hanson(notes), who would likely start if Asomugha is out Sunday, told The Philadelphia Enquirer he heard the injury was not serious.
"It looked bad, but they said he was going to be all right, expecting to come back (Friday) and practice," Hanson said.
With Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie(notes) missing last week's game with a high ankle sprain, the Eagles face the prospect of playing the Patriots on Sunday severely short-handed in the secondary.
If Asomugha and Rodgers-Cromartie are out, Hanson would start opposite Asante Samuel(notes) and likely kick inside in nickel packages with Brandon Hughes(notes) playing outside.

Aaron Rodgers as popular as Jesus? - In Wisconsin, Rodgers almost as popular as Lincoln and Jesus. According to a polling firm, the only two people more popular in Wisconsin than Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers(notes) are Abraham Lincoln and Jesus.
A few weeks ago, Public Policy Polling found that reigning Super Bowl MVP was viewed favorably by 89 percent of people in the state, the highest mark for any individual in the country. aaron rodgers birthday,
Pollsters wondered if any figure could top that mark, so they added a few people with "near universal appeal" into a recent national poll to test out Rodgers' popularity. Only the 16th president (91 percent favorably rating) and Jesus (90 percent) finished ahead of the quarterback. aaron rodgers,
That means Rodgers outpolled George Washington (86 percent), Mother Theresa (83), Martin Luther King Jr. (74), Santa Claus (67), Gandhi (64), Nelson Mandela (64) and Steve Jobs (62), and is in no way an indication that we Americans take our sports heroes way too seriously. aaron rogers jesus,

Top 10 Boxers of All Time
These top 10 boxers of all time are chosen not only because of their household names but also because of their solid affirmation of their supremacy during the time of their reign as champions.
10. George Foreman
76 W, 5 L, 68 KO – born January 05, 1949. This fighter has always been haunted by his own ghost. After his triumphal rise to fame, his crashing defeat in the hands of Ali has left him devastated more on the spirit than on his physical side. He has named all five of his sons George because: “In this career, you have to prepare for long term brain damage.”
9. Sugar Ray Leonard
36 W, 3 L, 1 D, 25 KO – born May 17, 1956. He is an epitome of a scientific fighter and a genius on top of the ring. He can get into the minds of his opponent to inflict the most serious jabs to bring them to submission. One of the most memorable of all is the infamous “no mas” episode with Roberto Duran.
8. Marvin Hagler
62 W, 3 L, 2 D, 52 KO – born in Newark, New Jersey, May 23, 1954. Because he felt that he did not receive enough credit for his accomplishments, Hagler legally changed his name to Marvelous Marvin Hagler. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest middleweights of all time. Later in life he moved to Italy, where he made low budget movies.
7. Archie Moore
181 W, 24 L, 9 D, 1 NC, 145 KO – December 13, 1913 – December 9, 1998. If only for his impressive and superhuman career record, the Old mongoose could well have been the greatest. His fighting career spanned all four decades and has knocked out more fighters than any of the other great fighters in this top 10 list.
6. Roy Jones
49 W, 3 L, 38 KO – born January 16, 1969. His selection may raise not a few eyebrows as there are a lot of skeptics on the circumstances of his being propelled to championship status. Jones started his rap music career in 2001 with his successful album, titled Round One: The Album and the debut single, “You all Must’ve Forgot”.
5. Joe Louis
68 W, 3 L, 54 KO – Joseph Louis Barrow born May 13, 1914–April 12, 1981 nicknamed the Brown Bomber, he is considered to be one of the greatest in boxing history. Among his numerous victories Louis coined two of boxing’s most famous quotes: “He can run, but he can’t hide” and “Everyone has a plan until they’ve been hit.”
4. Julio Cesar Chavez
104 W, 5 L, 2 D, 80 KO – Julio Cesar Chavez was born on July 12, 1962 in Ciudad Obregon, Mexico. He is the ultimate Mexican champion of all time. He began boxing as an amateur at the age of sixteen and had demolished practically all the top fighters during his time. He went on to fight for 13 years with a unblemished record.
3. Henry Armstrong
150 W, 21 L, 101 KO – Henry Jackson Jr., born December 12, 1912 was the only boxer to hold three world championships at the same time. These titles included the Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight crowns. He also defended the Welterweight championship more times than any other fighter.
2. Muhhamed Ali
56 W, 5 L, 37 KO – born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., January 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. He had an unorthodox style for a heavyweight boxer relying on foot speed and quickness to avoid punches and carried his hands low. Muhammad will come down in boxing history as one of the greatest human being that has fought in the square canvas.
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
179 W, 19 L, 6 D, 2 NC, 109 KO – born Walker Smith Jr., May 3, 1921 – April 12, 1989 made his professional debut on October 4, 1940. Sugar Ray Robinson is admittedly the hands down choice of top boxer of all time and to this date, no one comes close of surpassing or even equaling his achievement as a boxer.
