Cubs ace Jake Arrieta tossed seven scoreless innings Tuesday in Chicago’s 7-1 victory at Pittsburgh, his 15th consecutive road win. FAGAN: Stephen A.’s PED take on Arrieta was monumentally dumb Arrieta joined Johan Santana (15 straight) and Greg Maddux (16 straight) as the only pitchers to accomplish that feat in the past 20 seasons. Arrieta has also completed 15 scoreless starts over the past two seasons, which leads the major leagues during that time....

So after all the offseason drama and secrecy and trying to land a graduate transfer to play quarterback, we’re left with this comforting reality: the most important position on the field has become plug and play at Alabama. MORE: Week 1 photos | Henry ready to be workhorse | Aggies defense dominates | Auburn survives As much as we’d like to think quarterbacks Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron and Blake Sims each won their own championships and did their own things, they all played within the Alabama system that — if you play smart and don’t force throws — leads to success no matter who is under center....

Paul had previously beaten his past three opponents by knockout before reaching the second round, but Woodley was able to take him the full eight rounds....

“Almost every team has at least placed a call” to the Jaguars to check in on Ramsey, according to ESPN, which cited unidentified sources. Among those that have made “substantive inquiries” are the Chiefs, Ravens, Vikings, Raiders, Eagles and Seahawks.

Penn State coach James Franklin attempted to get in touch with a defensive end Shareef Miller, but dialed a Penn State fan instead. Better him than a Pitt fan. “I guess we were off a digit,” Franklin told ESPN.com. “This guy comes on the screen and we’re trying to call Shareef Miller and I’m thinking this must be Shareef’s older brother or someone I haven’t met yet.” Aleem Medley was the man on the other end, and he was ecstatic to receive the call....

It’s a scenario Sasha Dixon (Kyla-Drew), one of the lead characters of Netflix’s newest series Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!, will have to endure in one episode of the sitcom. Her father Brian, played by award-winning actor Jamie Foxx, does a lot more than just humiliating her with lame stories, though. He breaks out a karaoke machine, bursts into song and convinces her friends to join along. He totally overreacts when he catches Sasha “gallivanting” with one of her male friends (yes, Brian calls it “gallivanting” because, as Foxx says on the show, “Black men say ‘gallivanting....

It’s just as well. Clinton’s negotiators are obsessed with Japan’s ever-expanding trade surplus-but they still don’t seem sure what to say nor how to say it.

The case, as described in a stinging speech last week by Under Secretary for International Affairs Lawrence Summers to an audience of high-ranking Japanese businessmen in Tokyo: manufactured imports (as a percent of the total economy) are well below levels everywhere else in the developed world; so, too, are levels of foreign direct investment....
