Radical members of a splinter group, perhaps from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, broke into CBS’ broadcast truck in Wisconsin on Sunday evening and at gunpoint demanded CBS terminate its live telecast of Patriots-Packers at the very bad time. There can be no other logical explanation for why — at the close of a compelling, fascinating and highly unanticipated overtime game — CBS would abandon the equally compelling postgame scene to show…

CNN  —  Erling Haaland is redefining the art of goalscoring in the 21st century, goal by goal, hat-trick by hat-trick. The 22-year-old seems to write a new scoring record every time he takes to the field and Sunday’s Manchester derby proved no exception. Three goals in Manchester City’s 6-3 dismantling of Manchester United took Haaland’s Premier League goal tally to 14 after just eight games this season – seven more than Harry Kane, who is second in the league’s scoring charts. The Norwegian forward is also – by some distance – the fastest player to score three Premier League hat-tricks,…
