If you want to own Terrelle Pryor's Big Ten championship ring, it's being auctioned off on eBay right now. You only have to beat the current bid of $16,499! From the listing by bumpininc: This may be the single most famous piece of Ohio State memorabilia available! This ring was the start of the Tattoo Scandal involving former Ohio State players Terrelle Pryor, Boom Herron, Devier Posey, Mike Adams, Solomon Thomas, former coach Jim Tressel, and tattoo shop owner Ed Rife. This ring was originally owned by Terrelle Pryor, former quarterback for THE Ohio State Buckeyes and current starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders. It was given to Edward Rife in exchange for tattoos, although Rife contends that he purchased the ring from Pryor. This exact ring sold on eBay back in early June for $18,100 (see picture). I purchased this ring directly from Edward Rife, the owner of Fine Line Ink Tattoos, who was the primary individual involved in the Ohio State Tattoo Scandal controversy. According to Rife, this ring was the first item that he ever received from Terrelle Pryor… And the rest is history! I purchased several other items from Mr. Rife including signed pants, footballs, gloves, helmets, etc. Seems like a lot for a gaudy reminder of one of the dumbest NCAA scandals, but hey, free shipping!

Mauricio Pochettino wanted Christian Eriksen s future resolved before Sunday. Tomorrow, we are going to know if Christian is going to be with us or not. That s the most important thing, he said the day before.
The fact the midfielder was thrown back into the starting line-up for the north London derby suggests this particular transfer saga has, for now, been paused. This felt like a message to Real Madrid, and any other suitors, that Eriksen will be a Tottenham player after Monday s European transfer deadline.
We need to wait, he said to Sky Sports after the game against Arsenal. But that [performance] showed that Christian Eriksen was alright. That was an understatement.
If there have been any doubts about the commitment of Eriksen, who has admitted he wants a …

Cucho Hernandez dedicated Columbus Crew s dramatic last-gasp victory over New York City FC to the late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau.
The Crew struck twice in stoppage time to seal a 4-2 triumph and extend their winning streak across all competitions to eight matches.
Despite cancelling out Alonso Martinez s early strike through Diego Rossi and Maximilian Arfsten, Columbus were pegged back in the 86th minute by Mounsef Bakrar.

According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are willing to let Phillippe Coutinho leave the Nou Camp on a permanent basis for a fee of around £70 million. If they did so it would lead to a fairly substantial loss on their investment, considering they brought him in for around £146 million from Liverpool just two years ago.
He’s currently out on loan with Bayern Munich, although Baern aren’t willing to action the option to buy clause of around £102 million. As a result of this, Barca will be forced to haggle, as they attempt to work out the best possible deal with Bayern – which could see the Bundesliga giants be on the right end of a bargain if Coutinho is able to keep up his current run of form.
The Brazilian hasn’t quite been the sa…
Jose Mourinho has compared Tottenham s Champions League final defeat last season to an unsuccessful moon landing.
Under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs suffered a 2-0 defeat to Premier League rivals Liverpool in their first ever Champions League final.
Mourinho, who won the Champions League with Porto in 2004 and Inter in 2010, was appointed as Pochettino s successor last week and accepts the defeat to Jurgen Klopp s side might still be having a lingering impact on his new players.
Speaking ahead of his first Champions League clash in charge of Spurs against Olympiacos on Tuesday, Mourinho said: I love this competition as much as everyone in football. It s something that everybody dreams of winning. Not everyone has the privilege of being a Champions L…

In what could prove to be an enjoyable EFL Trophy showdown on Tuesday night, AFC Wimbledon will welcome Oxford to the capital.
Starting with the hosts, although AFC Wimbledon might have seen their FA Cup adventure come to an abrupt end thanks to a 3-1 loss against Ipswich over the weekend, the mood in their camp should be at a continued high. While the London-based outfit might have only just clung to their League Two status last season, Johnnie Jackson’s men are now dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine play-off charge. Although the Dons might have opened 2024 with a 1-1 stalemate away at Forest Green, the former Charlton boss has seen his squad lose just one of their previous six fourth-tier appearances. Firmly bat…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will bring a winning mentality back to Milan, according to Sampdoria coach Claudio Ranieri.
Ibrahimovic has returned to Milan for a second spell with the Serie A club after leaving Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 38-year-old spent 18 months with the Galaxy, scoring 53 Major League Soccer goals, and was linked to numerous clubs before settling on a return to San Siro, with Milan languishing in 11th place.
Having signed a deal until the end of the season, with an option for 2020-21, Ibrahimovic is likely to make his second Milan debut when the Rossoneri take on struggling Sampdoria on Monday, and Ranieri has no doubt the veteran forward will be a fantastic addition.
I hope to start 2020 with a great performance and some points, although facing …

Jordan fought back to beat 10-man Iraq 3-2 and clinch their place in the Asian Cup quarter-finals on Monday.
Iraq s Aymen Hussein turned from hero to zero as, moments after putting Iraq ahead, he was sent off, having received a second yellow card for excessive celebrations at Khalifa International Stadium.
Down to 10 men, Iraq could not withstand Jordan s fightback and conceded twice in stoppage time to end their hopes of winning the competition for a second time.
Hussein struck in the 76th minute to spark wild celebrations, including him sitting cross-legged on the field and mimicking eating.
Iraq s joy soon turned to frustration, though, when referee Alireza Faghani booked Hussein for a second time.

Hugo Lloris is planning talks with Tottenham as he attempts to map out his future beyond next June – with a return to Ligue 1 not ruled out.
Lloris Spurs contract expires on June 30 and it remains unclear whether the 34-year-old, who joined Spurs in 2012, will extend his stay beyond a decade.
Should the goalkeeper choose to leave north London as a free agent, he could return to France, where he previously played for Nice and Lyon.
For now, Lloris is hoping to mark his time at Spurs with a trophy, with new head coach Antonio Conte seen as a catalyst as the club bid to end their 13-year silverware drought.
I do not close any doors, Lloris said on Sunday, when asked about a potential return to French football.
I give my priority to Spurs. We …
