Brentford did not take full advantage of Leeds’ loss as they drew 0-0 away to Huddersfield Town, meaning Fulham – winners over Middlesbrough on Friday – remain third....

The “Coloring Book” musician completed a swift U-turn when he thought he received an endorsement from Crews on Twitter over comments about West’s highly-debated run for office.

Well, Chuck delivered. The Hall of Famer didn’t hold back on a Bucks team that led by 16 points at halftime, only to be outscored 71-49 over the final two periods.
