The Chilean forward has been handed a 16-month suspended sentence after entering into a plea bargain with the relevant authorities. His charges relate to a spell on the books at Barcelona between 2012 and 2013 and the defrauding of €1 million on image rights.

In a league dominated by the passing game, it’s easy to desire a Mount Rushmore-type quarterback who will put up 4,000 yards each year and set records. But you don’t need a Peyton Manning to win a Super Bowl. Alex Smith signed a four-year, $68 million contract extension with the Chiefs on Sunday, a signing that prompts doubt regarding the former No. 1 overall draft pick’s actual worth. The 30-year-old doesn’t put up staggering numbers — 185....

Georgia, which had been carried by Republican presidential candidates in every election going back to 1996, appears to have gone blue for President-elect Joe Biden. Although the southern state will carry out a recount, Biden leads President Donald Trump there by just over 14,000 votes. Analysts expect the result to hold, as recounts rarely change more than a few hundred votes at most. Both of Georgia’s Senate races are also going to runoffs, as none of the candidates secured more than 50 percent of the overall vote....
