The sitcom sees Wight playing a recently-retired version of himself as he navigates being a stay-at-home father and husband to his family. The series premiered in April with eight episodes, but Show and his family are ready to crossover with another Netflix original series, Mr. Iglesias starring comedian Gabriel Iglesias in the special, Game On: A Comedy Crossover Event, which premiered August 10.

In 1998, Harold Shelton, who was a sophomore at Detroit Renaissance High School, mapped out his own 16-team playoff expansion proposal. Shelton, now a researcher for the Big Ten Network, just needs to go back to his parents’ house to prove it. “My dad was always of the opinion that if you had a suggestion or had a complaint that you should call somebody or write somebody instead of just complaining about it,” Shelton told Sporting News....

Boeing passed on the challenge. The Seattle giant will neither hatch a new superjumbo design nor “stretch” the 747 to add seats. The company will update the 747 to compete with the A380–but its seeming indifference to the superjumbo market led industry experts to wonder: was Boeing losing interest in the sporty game? With profits in the commercial-aircraft industry getting thin, Boeing has been shifting its attention to new businesses, including space and communications, as it strives to become a diversified conglomerate modeled on mighty General Electric....

Here’s a look at 10 unrestricted free agents set to hit the open market on Tuesday who aren’t worth what teams think, along with 10 more wallet-pleasing alternatives: Buyer beware: Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos He’s coming off a career-best season with 1,587 yards from scrimmage and 13 total touchdowns. But he also worked off running lanes created by Peyton Manning’s passing prowess and Denver’s strong interior lane. At 26, without any elite skills, he’s not worth $3 million-$4 million per year....

FIFA 17’s top tribute to Chapecoense The Manchester United manager has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association after he was sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss during the 1-1 Premier League draw with the Hammers at Old Trafford. Mourinho became incensed when Paul Pogba was booked for diving and kicked a bottle in frustration before Moss ordered him to leave the technical area. Bilic offered some sympathy towards his counterpart and felt that his clean connection made the offence unfortunately clear....

MORE: Will London loss cost Chuck Pagano his job? After the Bills went up 7-0 on a 7-yard pass from Tyrod Taylor to LeSean McCoy, the Patriots coach ambled toward the bench, seemingly cool, calm and collected, his not-made-by-Apple tablet securely in tow. Then he channeled his inner all-of-us and spiked that Surface into the bench, perhaps because he was losing to Rex Ryan. Perhaps because, you know, he’s being forced to use a Surface....

Following the departure of Tom Brady to the Buccaneers, the Patriots have signed Brian Hoyer and Cam Newton to join Jarrett Stidham on the depth chart at the position.

Belichick has a decision to make over who starts, though the coach made clear during a media call Wednesday that he will do whatever gives his team the best chance of winning, including using more than one option in games....

Mourinho: It’s impossible to drop Zlatan The Gabon international raced onto a through-ball from Ousmane Dembele early in the second half before beating goalkeeper Oliver Baumann with a clever chip to salvage a hard-fought draw for BVB. Aubameyang joined Dortmund from Saint-Etienne in 2013 and scored his first goal for the Signal Iduna Park side in a 4-0 Bundesliga win over Augsburg, a game in which he eventually netted a hat-trick....
