Rush Propst is considered to be the most (in)famous high school football coach in America and he is already making waves at his new job. The 65-year-old picked up right where he left off.
Propst, who was named the head coach of Pell City High School in Alabama on March 31, had been away from the sport since 2021. Now, two years after his most recent firing, the new chapter is underway and it has already devolved into mayhem!
An angry tirade highlighted (lowlighted?) a contentious 7-on-7 preseason tournament and ended with Propst cussing out Pell City’s biggest rival.

A select group of celebrities are chosen to throw out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game. And not all of them maximize the experience—just ask 50 Cent.
Almost no one, however, has had as much fun with the endeavor than rapper Wiz Khalifa—so he claims—did Monday evening.
Khalifa, a military brat who grew up in Pittsburgh after moving around frequently as a child, threw out the first pitch ahead of the Pirates‘ series opener against the Guardians at PNC Park.
Josh Jacobs and the Raiders failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension ahead of Monday’s franchise tag deadline. However, according to reports, the two sides were extremely close to getting a deal done.
ESPN’s Tom Pelissero reported Monday that Jacobs was actually waiting in a car outside the team’s facility with teammate Maxx Crosby ahead of the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline. The report indicates that Jacobs was “ready to sign” a contract should a deal have been agreed upon, but the two sides ultimately failed to find common ground.
Monday was a dark day for the NFL’s running back market. We’re talking March 2020-levels bad.
The league’s RB market saw several of its greatest names — Las Vegas’ Josh Jacobs, Dallas’ Tony Pollard and New York’s Saquon Barkley — pass the contract extension deadline without new deals.
The players were franchise-tagged by their respective teams. Two players, Jacobs and Barkley, were in headline tug-of-wars all offseason as they underwent contract extension negotiations.
Jacobs led the NFL in rushing yards last season (1,653).
Andy Behrens knows there’s temptation to take a quarterback earlier in fantasy drafts, but says there’s still a path to win if you opt to wait.
The Northwestern football team has reportedly lost its first player to the NCAA transfer portal in the wake of coach Pat Fitzgerald’s ousting over allegations of sexual hazing and racism within the program.
Four-star freshman linebacker Nigel Glover announced his decision to transfer on Monday, per Sports Illustrated‘s Richard Johnson, a move that comes exactly one week after the firing of Fitzgerald, 48.
Glover, who committed to play for Fitzgerald in April 2022, was set to enter the 2023 season as the highest-ranked recruit in Northwestern’s incoming class.
The University of Tennessee was facing tough penalties when it came to the NCAA investigation into Jeremy Pruitt and the football program. One of those penalties could’ve been a postseason bowl ban, but the Tennessee Attorney General had his own plan when it came to navigating penalties.
In a move that will likely have ramifications down the road if other states were paying attention to Tennessee’s negotiations with the NCAA, attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti decided to step in.
It’s been over two weeks since 10-time All-Star James Harden opted into his $35.6 million player option for next season, with the intent of finding a trade to pave his way off the 76ers. While he remains in Philadelphia for now, don’t expect that to be a sign that his intentions to play elsewhere next season have changed.
That’s because the relationship between Harden and team president Daryl Morey has been “fractured,” according to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, who expects Harden to be moved eventually.
“It’s essentially severed.
Dak Prescott is already setting himself and the Dallas Cowboys up for disaster, days before the start of training camp.
Speaking with the media, Dak gave a half-baked excuse for his league-high 15 interceptions thrown in 2022. He doubled down on that excuse by guaranteeing that he’ll throw less than 10 interceptions next season.
The INT conversation has trended throughout Dak’s tenure as starting QB in Dallas. Dak Prescott has put some really errant throws to tape, leading to criticism both in and out of the organization.
Cristiano Ronaldo made the move to Saudi Arabia after the 2022 World Cup, joining Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr on a lucrative contract. And it doesn’t seem like he has any interest in a return to Europe based on what he told reporters on Monday.
Ronaldo indicated that a return to European soccer was off the table, citing the decline in quality across most of the top leagues. The 38-year-old also dismissed MLS, suggesting he felt the Saudi Pro League provided a bigger challenge and was a “better” league.
