Lampard had just a solitary year of experience as a head coach before taking the Chelsea job. He guided Derby County to the Championship Playoff Final in 2019, but they couldn’t get the job done, losing to Aston Villa. Lampard had a challenging start to life at Chelsea as well, with a transfer ban in place, ensuring that he could not sign the players that he wanted.

The Blues squandered a number of opportunities but were still too strong for Brighton and Hove Albion in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

While there’s plenty to criticize about Chelsea’s performances over the last month, there is no doubting that the involvement of Lukaku is a game-changer for the Blues, and with him in the lineup they are true title contenders. And his return came just in time: The Blues sit nine points back of leaders Manchester City, and no longer have any room for error.

Both Durant and James carry the distinction of being talents that are one-of-one, which, to reference Jay-Z, means there were none before them and none to come. That two talents of that caliber could overlap for 16 seasons almost feels too good to be true and that’s partly because, in recent years, it has been. When the Nets face the Lakers on Jan. 30, 2023, it will have been 1,497 days (and counting) since Durant and James faced off on an NBA floor....

Evidently, the Chicago Tribune didn’t notice. A Twitter user posted a photo of a recent print edition of the Tribune that incorrectly placed the New York Jets’ logo — yes, the NFL team — in opposition to the Blackhawks instead of the NHL’s Jets ahead of Saturday’s matchup in Chicago. Not to mention, the two logos aren’t . . . well, particularly similar — the NFL’s Jets feature the team’s name and a football inside of a larger football, while Winnipeg’s shows a jet plane flying over a maple leaf — but the blunder still made it all the way to print....
