The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs begin this weekend with one of the traditional jewels of the calendar, the Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina.
Pete Alonso is now the fifth player in MLB history to record three 40-home run, 100-RBI seasons in his first five years in the league.

Hunter, who dazzled fans in CU’s season-opening win on Saturday, cast his pick for which NFL team he’d like to play for on the first episode of his weekly BleacherReport talk show, 12 Talks, prior to Week 1. And, while Hunter admitted his favorite team is the 49ers, the cornerback/receiver went a different route with his answer.
College football’s Week 1 slate was dominated by Deion Sanders’ arrival to the big leagues. As a coach, that is.
