Background Hazard has had a glorious seven years with Chelsea, in which he won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and two Europa League titles. With Hazard’s contract set to expire at the end of 2019-2020 season, he decided against extending it and instead move nearer to his dream of playing for Real Madrid.

Coach Frank Reich told reporters Wentz with opting to have surgery to remove a bone and repair the foot instead of rest, the 2016 first-rounder could miss up to 12 weeks of action.

Q: Clemson: Are you buying or selling? Jared Zabransky: Big time buy.

Trump is undeniably larger than life. His huge personality and unique style were always certain to polarize. The very brashness, confidence, instinct and ego that let him accomplish more than any president in recent memory seem destined to render his remarkable achievements unsustainable. Most American politicians who galvanize movements merely pave the way for others to follow. Barry Goldwater failed so that Ronald Reagan could succeed; George McGovern did the same for Barack Obama....
