Michigan State is expected to fire embattled football coach Mel Tucker on Wednesday, sources tell Sports Illustrated, formally ending his tenure at the school after a sexual misconduct scandal went public earlier this month. While the legal fight over the roughly $75 million remaining on Tucker’s lucrative contract will likely continue, the school is free to move on in its search for a new coach for the 2024 season.
Tucker took the Spartans to great heights in 2021 with an 11–2 record and No. 9 national ranking.
MLB clubhouse celebrations after a team clinches a playoff berth or advances to the next round follow a similar formula. Players put on matching postseason T-shirts and protective googles and gather around with bottles of champagne and Budweiser (an MLB sponsor, of course) to drench each other. It’s a great time, but it plays out in a familiar fashion every time.
It was the Phillies’ turn to celebrate on Tuesday night after their win over the Pirates clinched a spot in the NL playoffs.
It’s a desperate time in Chicago, and it should be. The Bears keep bringing in saviors, but nothing ever gets saved.
The new Aggies of Texas A&M had just appeared to have righted the sinking ship of the 2022 season with a 3-1 start and an improved offense.
But now, A&M is expected to be without sophomore starting quarterback Conner Weigman. He has a broken foot and will likely miss the rest of the 2023 season, sources confirmed to OutKick. The Houston Chronicle previously had the story on Wednesday morning.
Conner Weigman broke right foot Saturday in win over Auburn.
MVP chants rang out throughout Barclays Center on Tuesday night during the Liberty’s Game 2 semifinal matchup against the Sun, rattling the arena’s floors after an emphatic third-quarter block from Breanna Stewart brought a boisterous Liberty crowd to its feet. Rumbles of MVP have followed Stewart all season long, but this time it wasn’t a wishful chant, rather a statement of fact. Earlier that day, the New York star was announced as the 2023 WNBA MVP—the first Liberty player to receive the honor.

What the Trail Blazers actually owe Damian Lillard in his trade request
The third month of Damian Lillard’s trade request has finally started to put his eventual departure from the Portland Trail Blazers into motion. When Lillard issued his trade request on July 1, it was reported that he only wanted to play for the Miami Heat. Since then, there’s been a ton of blustering between fans of the Blazers and Heat, and reportedly very little interaction between the two franchises.
Texas A&M and coach Jimbo Fisher received bad news on the injury front regarding emerging star quarterback Conner Weigman.
Weigman left Saturday’s win over Auburn with a leg injury, which after testing is reportedly worse than originally thought.
Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle was the first to report that Weigman could miss the rest of the season. Billy Liucci of TexAgs confirmed Zwerneman’s report, and added that it could be a three-and-a-half month recovery for the sophomore as he recovers from an injury to a weight-bearing bone in his leg.
Death, taxes and Brooks Koepka not giving a damn.
On Wednesday, two days prior to the start of the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, the topic of the desire from certain players wanting to be in the Cup-deciding match come Sunday came up as it does every time the biennial event rolls around.

Every one of the 24 players that make up the U.S. and European teams would say that they’d love to be given the opportunity to play in the deciding match.
