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.
Wisconsin is known for being very competitive, but after a few lackluster years, a change was needed. Luke Fickell is that change, and he’s not afraid to tell Wisconsin players they simply didn’t get the job done in 2022.

Of course Dan Snyder has turned this into a mess.
Nothing about Daniel Snyder trying to sell the Commanders is normal. Of course, any situation that involved Snyder giving up control of his football team was going to be fraught with weirdness.
The most recent reports center on multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and The Washington Post — and whether or not Snyder has blocked the world’s third-richest man from owning his pride and joy.
The LA Clippers entered last night’s fourth quarter down nine points to the Denver Nuggets. Ty Lue sat Russell Westbrook for the entire fourth quarter as the Clippers came back and forced overtime. Russ remained on the bench during overtime but the Clippers could not complete the comeback and lost 134-124 in overtime. Shannon Sharpe shares his biggest takeaways from the game.
Marquette, UConn and Indiana are among the teams that are heating up in a wild college basketball season.
UCF baseball walked into Clemson’s trap and took over Clemson’s trap. Tigers head coach Erik Bakich was not happy with how his team played, and also with how their opponents acted in victory.
The Knights, who rolled into South Carolina at 3-1, left with a series sweep. UCF beat Clemson 4-2 on Friday, 10-7 on Saturday and 13-6 on Sunday.
Of the many plays that helped to secure the third of three wins to close out the weekend, it was actually the quarterback who walked away with the craziest highlight.
While team owners are examining the league’s revenue issues, the MLBPA remains steadfast in salary cap opposition as it keeps an eye on the struggling cable networks,
The Padres have not suggested a desire to win this winter so much as they have screamed it.
They committed $280 million to a long-term deal with shortstop Xander Bogaerts. They spent $108 million to extend pitcher Yu Darvish. 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.
The Florida State Heisman winner started a total of 10 games for the Saints over the past two years, and was never really able to get things rolling due to multiple health issues. His 2022-23 season came to an end after just three games due to his failure to regain the starting role over Andy Dalton after getting hurt.
Now, it sounds like he’ll have to a find a new team.
Saints expected to cut Jameis Winston.
The pitcher appeared in his first spring training game of the year on Sunday.
Mets pitcher Max Scherzer is already a fan of the implementation of the pitch clock in MLB just a few days into spring training.
The right-handed ace made his spring training debut on Sunday against his previous team, the Nationals, pitching two innings. In those innings, Scherzer recorded five strikeouts, allowing three hits and one earned run.
After those two innings with the new pitch clock, Scherzer said he already “loves” the system because he feels like he has more control over the game.

Parrots swooped onto the playing field and interrupted the action during the seventh inning.
The game, which was streamed on ESPN+, left the announcers baffled at what they were seeing.
“Lots of people wondering what is happening. There are multiple parrots on the field.
Bryce Young’s size makes him a risky bet, Anthony Richardson is tantalizing but scary, and a small number of players seem worthy of being first-round picks.
Every year banners go up around downtown Indianapolis with pictures of the draft class’s biggest prospects ahead of the scouting combine. One year, it was Jadeveon Clowney; a few years later, it was Myles Garrett—the sort of create-a-player types who embody, maybe even more so than the headlining quarterbacks, what this particular week in the Midwest is about.
But in 2023? Good luck finding them.
