Packers’ Jacobs eligible to return next week amid probe - TSN

By Jonathan Brazeau VICTORIA — It was the most anticipated game of the Co-op Invitational since the draw schedule was set: Canada’s Team Brad Jacobs versus Sweden’s Team Oskar Eriksson. A sizeable crowd was on hand Friday night at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre regardless, cheering on hometown heroes Team Taylor Reese-Hansen, but they were just as engaged and enthralled by the grudge match of Olympic proportions happening on the adjacent sheet. Here we are now. Entertain us. It was the first game between the two sides since their fiery round-robin encounter during the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina. Eriksson, then throwing third stones for legendary skip Niklas Edin, accused Team Jacobs third Marc Kennedy of illegally double-touching a rock. Colourful words were exchanged in the viral moment that became one of the hottest talking points of the Games, lingering on even as Jacobs went on to capture Olympic gold. With Edin stepping back and Eriksson taking the reins, he just so happened to slot into the same pool as Jacobs for the Co-op Invitational, the season’s first Grand Slam of Curling tournament. What a coincidence?

Brad Jacobs and Oskar Eriksson met Friday for the first time since their Olympic controversy. But this time, there was no drama, just a beatdown.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the NFL “could step back in and create a longer suspension” for Josh Jacobs if the video showing his altercation with a woman is released. Fowler is surprisingly saying the quiet part out loud here, though this has been the general consensus for fans and analysts for a while. Jacobs is scheduled to come off the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt list on Monday. The NFL is reportedly trying to get hold of the video, and Jacobs has sued to block its release. Fowler adds that the woman’s attorney said her client has not participated in the league’s investigation due to privacy concerns. If the video stays under wraps, Jacobs could be allowed to continue playing in the NFL.

Pete Prisco reveals all of his Week 5 picks, including the Texans getting their first win and the Jets over the Browns So much for starting October the right way. My picks stunk last week. I was OK straight up, going 9-7, but the late-game shenanigans cost me a chance at a decent week against the spread. I went 4-11-1 ATS last week as many back-door covers got me. My straight-up record for the season is 38-26-0 and my ATS record is a dismal 25-37-2. How can I be that bad? No time for sulking. It's time to turn it around and this week I think I have a chance to move closer to .500 for the season. Then we can build on things from there. Let's go.

Then, right tackle Lane Johnson retired on Tuesday. They have so many key players out, which has to help the Jaguars. The Jaguars are second in scoring defense and have stopped the run all year long. They will limit the Eagles' offense in this one. The Jaguars go to 4-1.
