In most sports, achieving back-to-back championship titles is difficult, but it has been done. In Major League Baseball, for example, there hasn’t been a repeat World Series championship team in 21 years since the New York Yankees did it in 1998, ‘99, and 2000. While poker is predominantly a game of skill, there is certainly a luck component, as well. It creates a lot of variance, as do the big fields and the varying levels of skills among the players....

Reports flip-flopped all week about whether Saban would leave the Tide to take Mack Brown's job in Texas, but ultimately the future Hall of Famer decided to remain in Tuscaloosa. According to a Twitter user, the billboard is located in Northport, Ala., which is a city within the confines of Tuscaloosa County. [via Dr. Saturday]

The offensive lineman was reacting to a clip that went viral during last weekend’s game between Clemson and Ohio State. Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins was caught with his hand in a very odd place on Buckeyes running back Curtis Samuel. MORE: Saban likes what he’s seeing from Steve Sarkisian The incident was strange enough, but then Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware made it even stranger with his defense of the action Wednesday....

With a win over top-ranked Alabama, No. 6 Auburn could usurp the Tide as SEC West champions, get a rematch with Georgia in the conference championship game and put the Tigers in prime position to potentially earn a spot in the College Football Playoff. MORE: Bama battling history, on top of Auburn Alabama has its usually stout defense (though it has several injuries at linebacker) and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Auburn will rely on a handful of offensive playmakers in Kerryon Johnson and Jarrett Stidham, and defensive standouts like Jeff Holland....

The Crimson Tide are heavy favorites again, and with Tua Tagovailoa (23 touchdowns, 0 INTs) playing even better than last season with a group of fantastic receivers that’s hard to argue against. The Aggies, meanwhile, are trying to avoid a third loss against a brutal schedule that won’t get any easier in the second half of the season. This is another chance for Kellen Mond (10 touchdowns, four interception) to shine....

Euro 2012 couldn’t have gone much better for the Beslan native. In a poor campaign for Russia overall, Dzagoev was the real only positive aspect to take away from the tournament, with three of Russia’s five goals coming from him directly, and showing just what Russian supporters had to look forward to for the next few years. At one point, it even seemed he had one foot in Arsenal, but in just one year, all that fuss has completely faded away into virtually nothing....

In some ways, the questions are unfair. The Fed’s economic powers, though immense, are crude. Perfection isn’t possible. In the 1950s, the Fed was said to “lean against the wind,” lowering interest rates during slumps and raising them during booms. Things haven’t changed much. The Fed mainly influences short-term interest rates, which in turn influence-often with dehys of a year or more-the rest of the economy. More important, there are no entirely predictable relationships between the Fed’s actions and the economy’s behavior....

The Department of Justice said Thursday that Izaak Vincent Kemp, 35, of Fairborn, Ohio, was charged in January, having violated laws prohibiting the removal and retention of classified documents. Kemp had been working as a contractor at the U.S. Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center based at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn. The center is responsible for analyzing intelligence on the operations and weapons of foreign air and space forces....

The two men had in fact won a title together here the last time Paire appeared at this tournament in the doubles, back in 2014. The friendship was very much on display yesterday evening, but sadly not the fireworks that we were expecting. Defending champion Wawrinka didn’t really have to step up his game too much in the end on Saturday. In the fourth game, Paire fought off two break points with some good forehand shots to stay with Wawrinka....

As the invasion into Ukraine enters its seventh day, over 870,000 refugees have fled into Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova. Because of this, a budget airline announced on Tuesday that they will be offering free transport to other countries. Wizz Air, a Hungarian airline, tweeted that the airline is “committed to helping Ukrainian refugees reach their destination, wherever that may be.” The airline offered up 100,000 free seats on flights leaving Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania this month....

The Bears kicked off their league campaign on the wrong foot, as they were beaten 2-1 by Olympique Lyonnais. The league’s new boys found themselves two goals down just 20 minutes into the game. They halved the deficit from the penalty spot but saw their comeback chances peter out after Romain Hamouma saw red just before the interval. Manager Olivier Pantaloni has now steered Ajaccio to top-flight football in two different tenures....

Ajax have upset the odds repeatedly this season but there is now little doubt Ten Hag’s men are the real deal, last week’s 1-0 first leg win away to Tottenham their fourth consecutive victory on the road in the Champions League. Real Madrid perished to the Dutch giants in the round of 16 and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus did not learn lessons from the three-time defending champions being chastened, crashing out in a thrilling quarter-final in front of their own fans despite being among the tournament favourites....

In an extended interview with current head coach Hossam El-Badri, he shed light on his departure and issues concerning players and transfers. He said: “Everything is possible in football, my contract with Al-Ahly will expire by the end of the season and hasn’t been extended till now, I’m only talking realistically, I have an offer from the United Arab Emirates and another from North Africa yet I never said that I’ll leave....

Al-Attiyah made light work of the 84-kilometer special on the dunes around Pisco along the Pacific coast. He led by 38 seconds at the first marker, and by 45 seconds at the halfway point. Defending champion Carlos Sainz, another two-time winner, was second. Jakub Przygonski was third. The overall champion of the Cross-country Rallies World Cup is trying to become the first Polish winner of the Dakar. Seven-time winner Stephane Peterhansel was three minutes back in seventh, and Sebastien Loeb was more than six minutes back....

Emery announced on Friday he will be leaving PSG at the end of the season, with former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel widely expected to be his successor in Paris. The Spaniard could still win the domestic treble - only the Coupe de France is required after the Ligue 1 and Coupe de la Ligue titles were secured - but PSG fell short in the Champions League in both of his campaigns....

After turmoil of the past several weeks subsides, Gore may just want to decompress. But should he get back into the public spotlight, a likely occupation would be keynoting. While his charisma may not match Bill Clinton’s, “I think he’s a better speaker than he’s given credit for,” says Carlton Sedgeley, head of Royce Carlton Inc., a lecture-management agency that handles Naomi Wolf and David Halberstam, among others. Gore could pull in somwhere between $60,000 and $75,000 per engagement, guesses Sedgeley....
