Payton, in 15 seasons, went 152-89 in 241 games in New Orleans. That’s minus the “Bountygate” year-long suspension from the league in 2012. He took the Saints to the playoffs nine times, all with Drew Brees, now retired, as his starting quarterback. He had nine more wins in the postseason, including Super Bowl 44 over the Colts.

In this piece, we look at the top five drivers who have raced for the team. We will be keeping in mind the contribution they made, the success they had, as well as the length of their tenure with the team when ranking them. Ranking drivers who have raced for McLaren #5 Lewis Hamilton We begin with the boy from Stevenage — Lewis Hamilton. It might be a contentious choice to put arguably one of the greatest talents ever in F1 in fifth....

After 22 NBA seasons, Vince Carter is calling it a career. The decision didn’t come as a surprise, but the future Hall of Famer finally made it official on The Ringer’s “Winging It” podcast. “I am officially done playing basketball professionally,” Carter told “Winging It” host Annie Finberg.

Sixth seed Raonic beat Nadal for the first time in his career, saving three match points in the second-set tie-break to prevail 4-6, 7-6 (12-10), 7-5 in just under three hours at Indian Wells. “It’s really great what I was able to do today and I’m very happy with it, but I don’t let myself get caught up because this isn’t where it ends,” Raonic said, according to The Associated Press....

The Brazilian winger played 35 Premier League games last season, scoring 11 goals and assisting three more. His performances also impressed Brazil’s national manager Tite, who handed him his international debut in a World Cup qualifier against Venezuela in October 2021. He has represented his national team on nine different occasions since then, scoring three goals. According to SPORT (via CaughtOffside), the 25-year-old attacker has expressed his desire to move away from Elland Road....

Mockups of Toronto’s uniforms for next year have leaked, and there are some slight changes to the traditional home and away jerseys. But the set also includes an alternative uniform with the same black and gold color scheme as Drake’s label and brand, OVO. It’s one thing to sell out team merchandise or give out lint rollers featuring the team’s “global ambassador,” but another to design a uniform after him....

Earlier this week, Wizards forward Paul Pierce told ESPN that Toronto lacks an “it” factor that other teams possess. MORE: Cavs’ Irving shines in playoff debut | Curry ignites Warriors’ expectations PHOTOS: NBA playoffs gallery “We haven’t done particularly well against Toronto, but I don’t feel they have the ‘it’ that makes you worried,” Pierce said. “There isn’t a team I look at in the Eastern Conference that makes me say, ‘They are intimidating; we don’t have a chance....

“I was on a break. I bowled a lot of overs in South Africa, had played continuously throughout the year. I was at NCA and not sleeping at home. It was a good break and was necessary. The hunger is back and it is good to be back (playing cricket),” Bumrah said ahead of Mumbai’s IPL opener against Chennai Super Kings here tomorrow. “I have played against CSK before. It’s good to play against India teammates,” said Bumrah who has already scalped 47 wickets in 46 matches for MI in three years in IPL....

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring at Old Trafford on Wednesday and victory for the visitors was secured when a Leroy Sane drive went straight through United’s out-of-form goalkeeper David de Gea. United, who have lost seven of their past nine games in all competitions, had little response with Rashford fronting up in a strong response to another sub-par display that followed Sunday’s thrashing at Everton. “It was quite clear who the better team was,” Rashford said to Sky Sports....

Rashi carved out a 21-17 21-19 win over Deepali in 28 minutes at the Cricket Club of India’s badminton hall to earn a meeting with Preethi Konadam in the main draw first round tomorrow.

Kevin O’Brien’s 74 from 47 deliveries had Ireland progressing well in pursuit of Afghanistan’s 210-7 but they fell comfortably short in the end, Rashid their chief tormentor with 5-27. The leg-spinner dismissed the well-set O’Brien with the final delivery of the 16th over before starting his next with three wickets in succession as George Dockrell, Shane Getkate and Simi Singh all perished. Josh Little was Rashid’s final victim as the 20-year-old claimed his second five-wicket haul for his country in the format, Ireland finishing on 178-8....

The Indian women’s team has been preparing for the Olympic Qualifiers Round 2 and will face Indonesia again on January 30. Coming on the back of successive wins against Hong Kong, the Indian women put up a dominating performance against Indonesia, with Ratanbala Devi finding the back of the net thrice. India got several scoring chances in the first half but could not convert anyone of them. In the 20th minute, India had a golden opportunity to take the lead but Sandhiya failed to find the net from close range....

So far, a lot of the returning faces are not some of the previous allies that fans might be hoping for. Still, many of them are faces that have become rather synonymous with the Ratchet and Clank series, but as enemies rather than friends, or even frenemies. Rift Apart has done well at building hype without a lot of information available to the public, and the number of returning faces might continue to grow as the game gets closer to release....

Historically, Rauschenberg got us from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art—one of the greatest stylistic leaps ever—by introducing those bits of the readymade and the already-seen into the meaty coherence of such abstract “action painters” as Willem de Kooning. With a restless creative energy to rival Picasso’s he then crunched, stretched, pounded and exploded the combination of objects and paint into a kind of art full enough and big enough to go way beyond what the critics first called his art—“Neo-Dada”—and to almost get its own “ism”: Rauschenbergism....

Rice was indicted for aggravated assault in May for allegedly hitting his now wife, Janay Palmer, while at an Atlantic City casino on Feb. 15. In a letter to Rice, commissioner Roger Goodell wrote: “As you acknowledged during our meeting, your conduct was unquestionably inconsistent with league polices and the standard of behavior required of everyone who is part of the NFL. The league is an entity that depends on integrity and in the confidence of the public and we simply cannot tolerate conduct that endangers others or reflects negatively on our game....

The Baltimore Ravens quarterback has 2,036 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, along with 702 rushing yards and six rushing TDs. Jackson went 15 for 17 for 223 yards and three touchdowns and added a dazzling 47-yard touchdown run in the Ravens’ 49-13 rout of winless Cincinnati, Baltimore’s fifth consecutive victory. And Jackson and the surging Ravens have flown all the way to the top of the latest AP Pro32 poll ....

Don’t let those Playstation-type numbers cloud your judgment. The play for Big Ben’s Sunday night showdown is UNDER 264.5 gross passing yards, his posted total on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s prop board. This is Roethlisberger’s second meeting against the Ravens this season, and while he should improve on his 217-yard, zero TD, one INT line from Week 2, hitting 265 gross passing yards may be too much to ask considering he’s only hit that number twice in 10 matchups since 2008....

Sundowns travelled to the Rwandan capital as they looked to grab an early advantage going into the return leg, and with so much at stake, the Brazilians head coach Pitso Mosimane welcomed back several of his senior players who set out their recent victory over AmaZulu. Goalkeeper Denis Onyango most notably returned to the line-up while Mosimane opted to utilise the experienced defensive partnership of Wayne Arendse and Ricardo Nascimento....
