The Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry deemed Lukashenko’s comments “unacceptable” on Tuesday, according to The Jerusalem Post. The Belarusian president made the controversial remarks last week as part of a speech he delivered during an event memorializing Soviet soldiers in World War II. “Jews were able to make the world remember [the Holocaust], and the whole world bows to them, being afraid of saying one wrong word to them,” Lukashenko reportedly said....

The biggest reason, besides the possibility that Brady is declining at his advanced age? His proven offensive teammates have disappeared from New England one by one over the last three years. That is an indictment less of Brady the quarterback and Bill Belichick the coach, than of Belichick the head of personnel. Since reaching Super Bowl XLVI after the 2011 season, the important offensive players that have gotten away — largely by Belichick’s choice, once by no fault of his own — have reduced the Patriots to what the nation saw Monday....

Tacitus operated in the middle of the pack for much of the race until his final charge. Sir Winston’s trainer, Mark Casse, probably figured he’d be celebrating Saturday night in the winner’s circle, but with his other horse in the race, War of Will. War of Will won the Preakness winner three weeks earlier but finished ninth among 10 horses Saturday....

MORE: Belmont Stakes race results, winner There won’t be a Triple Crown to cheer for after Always Dreaming won the Kentucky Derby and Cloud Computing won The Preakness. The 149th Running of the Belmont Stakes will be held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, on June 10. The Belmont Stakes, known as the “test of champions” is the oldest and final leg of the Triple Crown events.

All the attention was on Ben Roethlisberger in this one, as the long-time Steelers quarterback played in what many believe was his final home game. Big Ben was prominently featured in Pittsburgh’s game plan and earned the win, but even he admitted that it wasn’t a pretty one. “You know what, it’s funny because [it] probably [didn’t go] the way you wanted it other than the win,” Roethlisberger said of the team’s performance in a postgame interview with ESPN’s Lisa Salters....

MORE: NBA Rookies of year from 1990-present It’s simply too early to tell, but judging from the No. 1 overall draft pick’s performance in the NBA Summer League, he has the building blocks to be every bit the brilliant ballplayer he’s projected to be (We’ll hold off on the LeBron James comparison for now). Yes, there’s plenty he needs to be improve on, namely his comfort level with shooting the mid-range jumper....

“I know that Benfica are a big club, the Portuguese champions, with many good players and performing in the Champions League,” Efe quoted the winger as saying on Friday. “It’s a great stadium.

Bilal, who was born in the Dutch city of Roosendaal and has dual citizenship from the Netherlands and Morocco, made his debut in the Eredivisie with Twente in May 2014....

This matchday 18 fixture will pit fourth against 17th, as the home side currently sit 11 points behind table-toppers and city rivals Sporting Lisbon. Their next opponents are staring down the barrels of relegation, and find themselves in the bottom two on goal difference. Famalicao need to start racking up the wins if they are to avoid dropping down to the Segunda Liga. Benfica also need all three points if they are to avoid falling further off the pace in the title race....

But the Bengals do have something to play for. As of now, they sit in position to enjoy a first-round bye come playoff time, but the Broncos (also 9-2) remain a persistent, ever-present threat to take that No. 2 seed.

Maybe Davis can play his way into a high ranking of the Browns’ 23 QBs since 1999....

Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Panthers. The No. 28 overall pick made the game-winning catch in Pasadena against Auburn in his final college game. In his first pro game, he made a catch that will be hard to top in his rookie season with Carolina.

Pouliot got a five-minute major and game misconduct for the play, though Talbot started falling before Pouliot appeared to make contact with him.
