Wisconsin football coach Luke Fickell continues to prove the old ways in Madison are dead.
Fickell was hired in a stunning change of direction last November, and he was brought in by the Badgers to conduct a complete overhaul of the football program.

And on Sunday, if there had been any lingering doubt, they addressed the biggest outstanding question on their roster by extending star third baseman Manny Machado for 11 years and $350 million.
It sounds like Jameis Winston’s career rival with the Saints is over.
Winston has been with the Saints since 2020 after the Bucs showed him the door in order to bring in Tom Brady.
