The 34-year coaching veteran helped the Bulldogs win back-to-back national titles.
The Ravens are hiring Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken to take over the same role with the NFL franchise, the team announced Tuesday morning.
Monken, a 34-year coaching veteran in the college and professional ranks, served as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator from 2020-22. Under his supervision, Georgia won back-to-back national championships in ’21 and ’22, and its quarterback, Stetson Bennett, finished fourth in the Heisman voting this season.

Sydney Leroux’s son is on a fast track to soccer superstardom. Cassius, six, was born to the former U.S. Women’s National Team forward and her ex-husband, U.S. Men’s National Team forward Dom Dwyer.
Needless to say, footy — and scoring — is in his blood.

Leroux, a forward, is considered one of the toughest women in the NWSL. She is hard-nosed, gritty, and physical out on the attack.

The Giants check in at No. 29 in our comprehensive ranking of each MLB franchise’s 26-and-under talent. Here’s why.

He had a boomer moment after posting a photo in his underwear.
1. Tom Brady is a 45-year-old father of three who was married for 13 years. So it’s not totally shocking that he might not be up on some of the lingo the kids use today.
According to the GOAT, he is now familiar with one modern slang term after posting this last week.

After dropping that photo, Brady’s Twitter mentions were flooded with comments about his attempt at a “thirst trap” (even though he was just trying to promote his apparel company, Brady Brand).

Good afternoon, basketball lovers. So good to be with you again as we head into All-Star weekend.
Last week, after witnessing basketball history in the form of LeBron James capturing the all-time scoring record, we saw fireworks in the form of one of the zaniest NBA trade deadlines we’ve ever witnessed. After watching Kyrie Irving get dealt to Dallas, we then saw his former teammate Kevin Durant land with the Suns. All possibilities we thought we might see last summer, but not necessarily right before the deadline, with the Nets still solidly in playoff position.

No better way to treat your Super Bowl hangover than with the 10 — count ‘em, 10! — NBA games that were on Monday’s docket. Let’s dig into each, starting with the battle of New York.

Knicks take first matchup with new-look Nets, 124-106
I have a feeling Knicks fans are gonna like this Josh Hart guy.

Still in disbelief days after defeating Josh Emmett at UFC 284, the new Mexican titleholder is far from finished.

Yair Rodriguez has fought for the UFC since 2014. Often overlooked in the featherweight division during the course of his first 12 fights—nine of which were wins—he was not going to let his title shot slip away.
And he didn’t. Even if he hardly remembers it.

The former Colts and Lions coach reunites with Frank Reich.
The Panthers will have not one, but two former Colts head coaches steering the ship during the 2023 NFL season. After hiring Frank Reich as the team’s new head coach, Carolina added Jim Caldwell, who led the Colts (’09 to ’11) and Lions (’14 to ’17) to two playoff appearances each, as a senior assistant.
Carolina announced the move on Tuesday morning. He had interviewed for the head coaching job during the Panthers’ search, and now joins Reich’s staff.

Analyzing the betting numbers that defined the past NFL season.
After crowning the Chiefs as Super Bowl champions for the second time in the last four seasons following their triumph over the Eagles, it is time to take a look back at the NFL season from a betting perspective.
Home field was everything it was meant to be in 2022 as home teams went 160-122-2 straight-up (SU) (56.3%).
Meanwhile, grabbing the points was the lucrative way to invest as underdogs finished with a moneyline victory by Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII.

With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving now out of Brooklyn, there’s even more of a spotlight on Ben Simmons, which isn’t exactly a good thing.
Simmons came off the bench against the New York Knicks on Monday night and put on quite the performance. He played just 13 minutes, but they were an eventful 13 minutes, to put it lightly.
The 26-year-old scored just two points while attempting just two shots on the night and it was his lack of a field goal attempt in the first quarter that has the entire NBA world talking.
