In one of the premier early season matchups in women’s college basketball, No. 7 LSU (8–1) was powered by the return of star Angel Reese, defeating visiting No. 9 Virginia Tech (5–2) 82–64 in a rematch of last season’s Final Four on Thursday night in Baton Rouge.
The 2023 Final Four Most Outstanding Player, who had missed the past four games for an undisclosed reason, returned to LSU’s starting lineup to contribute 19 points and nine rebounds in 29 minutes, while playing stifling defense on Hokies star and reigning ACC Player of the Year Elizabeth Kitley.

The Dallas QB is “the one writing” and he wrote a lot Thursday night
There is a common joke format that is still flourishes on Twitter/X.
“[So and so] read the tweets.”
Usually it comes when an athlete, after performing poorly earlier in a game — and getting trashed for it online — comes through in a clutch. That’s when a stream of tweets hit the timeline declaring that somehow, some way, that player saw what was being said, and decided to do something about it.
In that spirit, Dak Prescott read SB Nation.
Rafael Nadal is back.
Nadal, who pulled out of the 2023 French Open and missed the remainder of the season due to a left hip injury that required surgery, has announced his ATP Tour return for the 2024 season in a hype video posted to his account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion said he will return to play at the Brisbane International tournament in Australia the first week of January.
The video shows Nadal, 37, suffering the injury, which kept him out of the final three grand slams in the calendar year, during the Australian Open last January.
Bronny James, the elder son of Lakers star LeBron James, has been cleared for full basketball activity months after going into cardiac arrest during a summer workout.
With Bronny now in line to make his USC debut sooner rather than later, LeBron made his plans with the Lakers known in the event that his son’s first game falls on a day when the Lakers also play.
If you’re setting your Week 13 DFS lineups and looking for salary relief, you’ve come to the right place.
Today’s list features players that are considered bargains based on what they could return. Use these options and spend up for players such as Tyreek Hill or Najee Harris this week, and we bet you’ll be glad you did.
Let’s take a look.
Quarterbacks
Russell Wilson, Broncos
We are hoping for a shootout between Wilson and C.J. Stroud and though there may not be a super high ceiling for Wilson, he should at least be able to get you a solid floor.
Alabama vs. Georgia for the SEC title, and a likely College Football Playoff berth. Sound familiar?
It’s a last-of-its-kind SEC championship game featuring East vs. West. Of the Power 5’s title games: The Pac-12 title game is a unique swan song, the Big Ten has its Harbaugh hysterics, the wind is out of the ACC’s sails, and the Big 12 has the likelihood to be a blowout, while the SEC’s run-up feels the most familiar. It’s two good teams getting together in Atlanta. We’ve done this particular game four out of the last six seasons.
The NFL pulled the credential of Kevin Fitzgibbons, a videographer who covers the Miami Dolphins, following Tyreek Hill’s viral backflip touchdown celebration against the Carolina Panthers in October. Everyone sees the ridiculousness of the situation, including Hill, who is stepping up and paying the salary of the media member now out of a job.
“I told him I was gonna cover his salary, whatever the NFL was gonna pay him. I told him I was going to make sure that I do what’s right and take care of (Fitzgibbons),” Hill said, per USA Today. “Make sure you’re not out of a job.
EA Sports’ upcoming college football game is racing towards being released this summer.
The video game company stunned people in February 2021 when it was announced a new college football video game would be released for the first time since 2013.
Legal issues involving name, likeness and no compensation caused the popular series to be halted indefinitely. However, the game changed with the announcement nearly three years ago, and players will now be paid an amount that remains undetermined at this time.

This call, like so many calls from 2008, was beyond strange. It had been prearranged, by a source, for someone other than the source to phone on a scheduled day at an appointed time. I would never know the identity of this person, and they would tell me which games were on the videotapes at the center of an investigation into the Patriots.
For those of us who lived Spygate, who reported and wrote amid lakes of misinformation and more than a few death threats, reaction to Michigan’s recent scandal fell somewhere between two questions.
The quarterback turnstile for the Cleveland Browns continues this week because rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson is in the concussion protocol and has missed the first two days of practice in preparation for Sunday’s game at the Los Angeles Rams.
The Browns haven’t ruled out Thompson Robinson. And haven’t, as of this writing, officially said Joe Flacco is starting.
But OutKick contributor Dr. David Chao, who served 17 years as the San Diego Chargers team doctor, knows how this goes: DTR is sitting. And Flacco is the starter against the Rams.
