Bill Belichick won't be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and the fallout has been significant enough to force the Pro Football Hall of Fame to completely overhaul its voting process.

Across the Atlantic, Aston Villa handed Tottenham another brutal reminder of where they stand right now, beating Spurs and leaving them still searching for their first Premier League goal of the season.

And out in Amarillo, Texas, minor league pitcher Alfred Morillo gave the crowd everything they came for. The Sod Poodles held on for an eight to seven thriller over the Frisco RoughRiders in Game three, punching their ticket to the Texas League Championship, and Morillo celebrated the series-ending strikeout with a clean, effortless backflip on the mound. Double-A baseball, big-time moment.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
