Month: October 2024

data-mm-id=”_vstrqhloy”>ESPN's College GameDay will broadcast live from Augusta National on Nov. 14, coinciding with third-round play at the Masters, the network announced today. Add that to the list of sentences you never thought you'd read eight months ago for so many reasons. But it's happening … unless, of course, college football and golf are derailed by the pandemic between now and then. Fingers crossed.? @TheMasters pic.twitter.com/Ju9NxPZOa6— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) October 27, 2020For now, let's stay optimistic about the regular-scheduled programming holding up and the confluence of two great events dovetailing into a singular and historic morning of television. Because if you can bring yourself to look at the positives of this situation, they…

data-mm-id=”_qlr0lwq8m”>Arizona fired Sean Miller on Wednesday, opting to move on from its long-time head basketball coach with NCAA issues swirling around the program. On March 5, the school's basketball program was hit with five Level I violations, including instances of academic misconduct, recruiting violations and a charge that Miller did not promote compliance. That was too much for the university to take and Miller is now unemployed. Despite potential impending NCAA sanctions, the Arizona job will be highly attractive to perspective coaches. It's one of the best gigs on the West Coast and has been able to attract top recruits for decades. A number of coaches will be interested. Here's our look at five candidates to replace Miller.Josh PastnerWhen things look bad f…

data-mm-id=”_lc50d2l1i”>Travis Kelce made his Saturday Night Live debut this week and, in the best sketch of the night, he repeatedly beat up the guys from Please Don't Destroy. In the sketch, Kelce plays Kurt Lightning, a self-defense instructor looking to build confidence and strength in his students. How does he go about doing that? Mostly by punching a comedy trio.Video below:That's a great sketch and Kelce is an absolute natural on camera. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is probably the NFL's most natural choice for a transition into entertainment when he's done with the league. It was a pretty darn good episode. …

data-mm-id=”_kkw3gn8yn”>Brian Cashman is having quite the offseason so far. After proudly announcing that his New York Yankees weren't an "analytically-driven" organization, he's now taken a not-so-subtle shot at one of his highest-paid players. He essentially said he knows Giancarlo Stanton wouldn't be available for a chunk of the upcoming season because it's inevitable he'll be injured again. When discussing Stanton's availability, Cashman said the following:"We try to limit the time he's down. But I'm not gonna tell you he's gonna play every game next year because he's not. He's going to wind up getting hurt again more likely than not because it seems to be part of his game."Did he really just say getting inj…

data-mm-id=”_hvp3scaqz”>The NFL continually attempts to evolve every season, and the rules committee every offseason attempts to introduce new rules and technologies that could dramatically improve professional football. One of the biggest rule changes for the 2024 season is the new kickoff format, which was made famous by the XFL, and will now be included in the NFL. The gist of the new rule will have the kicking team line their kicker on their own 35-yard line, and the kicking team's defenders will line up on the receiving team's 40-yard line, along with the receiving team lining up on their own 30-35-yard line. The shortened field is meant to increase kickoff returns while decreasing the chance of injury on players having to run the length of the field. The other big chang…
