NCAA president Charlie Baker has proposed a fundamental alteration to the highest level of Division I college athletics. It would be an opt-in scenario for member schools to become part of a new subdivision within Division I, and would be a chance that has been clamored for by many within the industry to give the schools at the highest level more autonomy, while preventing them from splintering off and creating their own organization.

The Nationals’ historically talented young outfielder was the talk of Yankee Stadium when Washington came to town in June 2018. He was one of the most exciting players in the sport, on a Hall of Fame pace, and the fans in the Bronx all but salivated at the thought of a lineup that paired him with All-Star slugger Aaron Judge. But it was not Bryce Harper who put on a show that week in New York, and it was not Harper who would come to wear the pinstripes.
The New England Patriots, to put it lightly, have had a rough season. The once-proud franchise that won six Super Bowls during the Tom Brady era, is 2–10 on the year, has lost five straight games, and has scored just one touchdown (and 13 combined points) in its last three outings.
That all makes what’s going to happen on Thursday night all the more brutal for NFL fans—New England will be taking on the Steelers in a Thursday Night Football game that feels like must-flee TV.
Oh baby, it’s the best month of the NFL season. The games start to actually mean something, the weather starts to take an absolute nosedive AND we start getting games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Saturday NFL games are lowkey elite, by the way. Feel like it’s because by the time we get to them here in a few weeks we’ve gone like three weeks without legit college football action on a Saturday. We’re in the early stages of CFB withdrawal and the NFL checks in to pick us right the hell up.
The best.
Look, I’ll be honest with you. Some weeks these are easy to pump out.

The Clippers improved their record to 10–10 Wednesday night after a 111–102 win over the reigning NBA champion Nuggets in Los Angeles. The team hasn’t been at .500 since Nov. 6, a 14-game span that includes James Harden joining the Clippers’ lineup.

The men’s college basketball season is officially a month old. And after a whirlwind four-plus weeks of hoops that featured high-profile early-season tournaments and huge showdowns across the country, it’s a good time to take stock of the sport’s landscape. While several surprise teams have shined, a few big-name squads are off to sluggish starts that call into question the preseason hype that surrounded them. Here’s a look at five teams that have disappointed early and how likely a turnaround looks for each team.
Rory McIlroy, one of the longest hitters in professional golf, is very much in the camp that the golf ball should travel a shorter distance. He welcomes the recently announced rollback plans from the USGA and R&A and is one of just a few players to come out and share his opinion.

“I don’t understand the anger about the golf ball roll back,” McIlroy wrote.
It’s Week 14! For the second straight week, the Eagles are set to play in the biggest game on the slate. After losing to the 49ers, they’ll now travel to Dallas to play the Cowboys in a game that could determine the NFC East. In a huge AFC showdown, the Chiefs will look to bounce back from a loss when they host a Bills team trying to stay in the playoff hunt.
