ORLANDO, Fla. — Quarterback Kirk Cousins did something the Washington Redskins most certainly didn’t like in the final minutes of Sunday’s Pro Bowl.

Cousins’ fiery competitiveness came out late, when he hustled down the field after throwing an interception to Buffalo Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, who lateralled the ball to Denver Broncos corner Aqib Talib. Cousins chased down Talib and swiped down with his right, throwing arm to cause a fumble and prevent a touchdown.

Both players landed hard but were not injured.

“It’s because I want to win, man,” Cousins told ESPN after the game of why he went for the fumble.

Carlos Tevez’s China adventure begins.

The Argentinian striker touched down in the country’s capital on Thursday for the start of his stint with Shanghai Shenhua, where he’ll reportedly take home £615,000 a week – a record salary for a footballer.

Hundreds of fans turned up to greet him after his switch from hometown club Boca Juniors. Many wore the colours of the Argentina national team, which the 32-year-old last represented in October 2015.

Tevez will work under manager Gus Poyet in Hongkou District, and will count Fredy Guarin and Obafemi Martins among his teammates.

The crowd chanted “Carlos! Carlos!” as he made his way through the airport terminal, according to BBC Sport.

The former Boca Juniors, West Ham United, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Juventus man is set to begin the Chinese Super League season in March.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The NFL made a major change in 2017 by moving the Pro Bowl to Orlando, something commissioner Roger Goodell sees as very positive, though he isn’t ready to make the city the Pro Bowl’s permanent home. Orlando is under contract to host the event next year with a third-year option for 2019.

“We go one year at a time,” Goodell said to ESPN just prior to kickoff. “This is new for us, and we’re still not done. We have a few more hours to go. As I just said to the [Orlando] mayor [Buddy Dyer], ‘We’re really excited, the way the fans have reacted favorably and the community has really embraced it. This is a special night for us.”

The Pro Bowl format changed this year too, returning to the NFC-AFC matchup. It incorporated a new mantra: celebrating football at all levels in a weeklong event held at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports. It included the Punt, Pass and Kick National Championship, NFL Flag Championship, the North American Championship featuring high school players from USA Football and Football Canada, and the USA Football’s Women’s World Football.

The event featured the annual USA Football national conference and the Women’s Careers in Football Forum. There was also the Pro Bowl Experience put on for fans, the EA Madden Bowl and the Pro Bowl Skills Challenge.

“We want to celebrate the game,” Goodell said. “We love seeing the kids play the game. We love to see the high school coaches here. We had a women’s football team here. It’s all about the great game that we have, and we’re able to celebrate it.”

As far as the on-field product that has come under scrutiny in recent years, Goodell said it’s important to understand what the game is and isn’t — the league must keep players safe and still make it entertaining. The key to that? Having fun, he said.

“This is a different kind of a game,” Goodell said. “This isn’t a Super Bowl or a championship game. We recognize that. It’s gotta be something that reflects positively on our end. The thing that really struck me about the skills challenge was how much fun the players had. They were really enjoying it. And that’s what I said to them tonight, ‘Have fun. Enjoy it.'”

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he’ll “100 percent” stay at Borussia Dortmund beyond the current transfer window, but if his exit is engineered shortly after then, it wouldn’t necessarily be to Real Madrid – the outfit he’s dubbed his “dream club.”

“Yes, yes. That’s true but, you know, there is not only Real Madrid in this world,” he told football daily Bild, with translation from ESPN FC’s Stephan Uersfeld.

Aubameyang’s devastating pace and ferocious strike rate up top for Dortmund have unsurprisingly attracted a legion of admirers, with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain apparently eyeing the Gabon international, and, after four seasons at the Westfalenstadion, he could be open to offers.

“Nobody can foresee the future,” the 27-year-old said. “I love it at Dortmund, but I can’t say that I’ll stay for two more years, or five or 10. It’s possible that a club could reach an agreement with Dortmund in June and I’ll go.”

The 27-year-old has taken his goal-scoring form to the Africa Cup of Nations, scoring in each of Gabon’s group bouts on home soil so far, after already recording 16 strikes across 15 Bundesliga appearances this term.

Aubameyang responded to reports that Real Madrid’s manager, Zinedine Zidane, is seeking a different kind of player to him at the Santiago Bernabeu by supplementing his claims that he’s not clinging on hopes of moving to the Spanish capital.

“I don’t know if that’s true but, also, I am not interested in it,” he declared. “If Real want me, they will call me one day and, if not, no problem. I live my life and am optimistic about the future.”

He additionally played down any talk of him reuniting with his former Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and, to the delight of a BVB support that has seen its squad continually gutted by Bayern Munich in recent seasons, a shift to Bavaria is completely out of the question.

“I would never join Bayern,” he said. “That’s for sure. That would be too hard on the Dortmund fans. Whatever they’d offer me, I’d say no.”
