The annual Texas-Oklahoma game will return to the “Red River Rivalry” name. The game had been called the Red River Showdown since 2014.
The first 15 stages of the 2023 Tour de France have been electric. Not only are the top-two riders separated by just a few seconds, there has been quite a bit of chaos— especially over the weekend!
It started on Saturday with a massive crash that forced multiple competitors to withdraw from the race. Just not Adrien Petit!

Not long thereafter, fans impeded a motorcycle from getting out in front of a crucial attack and forced one of the leaders to pull back.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a big goal for the 2023 season after he led the NFL with 15 interceptions last year.
When speaking about this unfortunate statistic from the 2022 season, Prescott told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that this year will be different, because coach Mike McCarthy is poised to call plays after the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
“Some of it is the offense and them understanding exactly where we are,” Prescott said. “Mike does an amazing job with those guys. They know where to be, why to be, when they’re getting looked at.
It’s hard to tell athletes it’s time to hang up the cleats. Case-in-point: NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Jackson had an excellent career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He posted a few good seasons in Washington. He contributed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also.

The race to announce this fall’s super fight came down to two bouts: Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic for the UFC heavyweight championship and the crossover boxing bout pitting former UFC champ Francis Ngannou against WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury.

Both are significant, but there is a stark contrast between the two bouts. One moves the sport forward, while the other is more of a one-off spectacle.
One thing worth watching this season is how Jordan Poole, the 24-year-old former Warriors sixth man and high-scoring spark plug, will adjust to being a franchise player in Washington.
The betting markets seem to have him pegged as the front-runner for next year’s Most Improved Player award, even though he’ll have the added weight of running an offense without the assistance of future Hall of Famers Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, who quietly serves as one of the best screeners and setup men in basketball.
