Wisconsin football coach Luke Fickell doesn’t have any tolerance for guys taking plays off.
The new leader of the Badgers hit the ground running when he arrived in Madison, and he’s been busy installing and building up the kind of culture he wants to see.

Fans expect a total reset of the program, and Fickell is definitely in the process of giving it to them.

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal didn’t seem to have the best of times during NBA All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City. The two clowned on the city during Sunday night’s broadcast, which didn’t exactly sit well with one lawmaker in Utah.
Clearly just joking around, Shaq and Chuck both took their respective digs at Salt Lake City.
“These people are going to heaven,” Barkley said on the TNT broadcast. “Ain’t nothing to do in this boring a– city.”
Shaq responded by saying “I never ate so much room service in my life.
Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon came away frustrated while Jimmie Johnson and Travis Pastrana had a great time in The Great American Race.
A one-of-a-kind draft prospect, a unique strategy for the French star and a village of people who are preparing the league’s next No. 1 pick.
The Sea Dragons QB seemed to mimic the Chiefs star while connecting with the former All-Pro wide receiver.
The 2023 XFL season kicked off over the weekend, and some familiar faces took the field in the rebooted football league.
Ben DiNucci was drafted by the Cowboys out of James Madison University in 2020 and rode the bench until the team waived him ahead of the ’22 season—leading to him sign with the Seattle Sea Dragons. The XFL may have been the best thing to ever happen to the signal-caller, and it appears he has been in the lab working on his game.
The USFL will hold a 10-round draft of eligible college players Tuesday as the league gears up for Season 2.
The rule changes, which include the game clock continuing to run after incomplete passes, could be implemented this fall.
A years-long effort in exploring ways to shorten college football games is entering the fourth quarter.
Executives of the sport are moving closer to recommending several clock rule changes meant to reduce plays for both safety and game length reasons, multiple officials tell Sports Illustrated. They include proposals that call for the clock to continue to run after first downs and incomplete passes.
While not much defense was played, Jayson Tatum still put on an offensive performance for the ages, en route to an All-Star Game scoring record.
First Babe Ruth, now Pistol Pete Maravich.
It took 34 years for Ruth’s season home run record of 60 to be broken by Roger Maris with 61 in 1961. They talked about putting an asterisk next to it, though, because Ruth hit his in 154 games. On Oct. 1, 1961, Maris hit his record smash at Yankee Stadium against Boston in the last game of the first year of the 162-game schedule in the American League.
ESPN made a very interesting broadcast decision during the D.C. Defenders/Seattle Sea Dragons game Sunday.
For some unknown reason, ESPN decided to interview Defenders QB Jordan Ta’amu in the locker room during halftime when he didn’t have his football pants on.
Then, to make it even weird, the camera panned down to his groin as he started getting dressed. Was it accidental? Almost certainly.
Was it still incredibly weird? No doubt at all.
Here’s the, uh, interesting camerawork. https://t.co/Z2yyWEqstV pic.twitter.
