During his 19-year-career as head coach of the Giants, Patriots, Jets and Cowboys, Bill Parcells became known as much for his exacting personality as his on-field success. Here was a man who could win two Super Bowls and three conference titles while coining aphorisms such as, “You are what your record says you are.”
However, a forthcoming book appears to support the notion that Parcells has a big heart in spite of the rigid exterior he projected to the football world.

The ACC presidents and chancellors met Friday morning and voted to add three schools — Stanford, Cal and SMU — beginning in the 2024-25 school year. It will bring the league to 18 members — 17 will play football full time in the league.

The kickoff of the college football season means the return of Gus Johnson, as the veteran Fox Sports announcer announced his first game of the 2023 campaign Thursday night. Although the game between Nebraska and Minnesota was sloppy, it still provided some wild highlights for Johnson to excitedly describe.
Johnson’s first touchdown call of the season was a Nebraska score on a broken play, in which the Cornhuskers called a double-reverse pass that went from near-turnover to touchdown. The unorthodox score allowed Johnson to unleash a classic one-liner.
Everyone knows that Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos has some stellar hands.
However, we usually say that after he pulls off a deke or blisters a shot from the faceoff dot on the power play during an NHL game. Not after he catches a pass at an NFL practice.
The man they call Stammer and some of his Lightning teammates were at a recent Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice, and he got to haul in a few passes.
To put it accurately, he caught more than a few passes and did it while holding an armful of pigskin.

The Atlanta Braves have the best record in Major League Baseball and they also have one of the best pitchers in the game in Spencer Strider.
The right-hander leads the league in strikeouts with 245 and picked up his 16th win (with just four losses) Thursday night in a showdown with the National League’s second best team – the Los Angeles Dodgers.
During the game we were finally able to figure out what makes Strider so good – he’s able to put a spell on baseballs.
The Chiefs enter the 2023 season without their best defensive player, as Chris Jones remains away from the team while seeking a contract extension. At first, Jones’s holdout seemed like a typical training camp issue, but with Week 1 on the horizon, the defensive lineman’s teammates are getting worried.
On his New Heights podcast, tight end Travis Kelce pleaded with Jones to return ahead of Kansas City’s season opener against the Lions on Thursday.
“Chris, can you please come back? You’re really scaring me, man. I don’t get it,” Kelce said.
What a difference a week has made in AEW.
After last Sunday’s über-successful All In from London’s Wembley Stadium, I didn’t think it was possible that the same company would have such a differently booked pay-per-view as the one we have with this Sunday’s All Out (8 p.m. ET at the United Center in Chicago).
Shanahan addressed Garoppolo calling things “weird” by saying he agreed. Then he immediately backtracked, saying it wasn’t weird but was “unusual,” which is a synonym for weird.
