The San Diego Padres could be one of the most popular teams at the upcoming winter meetings next week, if Juan Soto trade rumors are to be believed.
The Padres were one of baseball’s most disappointing teams in 2023, riding a hot streak over the final few weeks of the season to an 82-80 record. But missing the postseason after going all in on 2023 and the collapse of their television deal with the now-bankrupt Bally Sports have dramatically changed their financial calculus going forward.

Ever wonder what would happen to you if you viciously taunt an opposing kicker after he misses a game-winning field goal? Well, now we know — thanks to elite college football programs Sam Houston and Middle Tennessee State.
While most of the world was watching The Game over on big FOX, I was locked in on this little showdown between the 4-win Blue Raiders and 3-win Bearkats.
You call me crazy. I say I’m one step ahead of the trends, which is my job here at OutKick.

Saturday’s Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn is the final time the two teams will meet in a game covered by CBS.
With the SEC television contract heading to ESPN beginning in 2024, CBS Sports’s Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson made sure to make their presence felt after the officials blew an early call in Saturday’s matchup.
Trailing 7–0, Auburn received a kickoff, and return man Brian Battie’s facemask was clearly grabbed by a Crimson Tide player. Flags came raining down, and it appeared as if the penalty would be a facemask against Alabama.

Of all of Ohio State coach Ryan Day’s critics following Saturday’s 30–24 loss to Michigan, none appeared to be more torn over his standing with the program than Buckeyes icon Maurice Clarett.
The legendary OSU running back became a hot topic on social media throughout the game as Clarett said all he could to push, pull and hope for a Buckeyes win. But apparently the sting of losing to the No. 3-ranked Wolverines (12–0) for a third-consecutive year in what was the No. 2 Buckeyes’ first loss of the season (11–1) firmly helped Clarett decide where he stands on Day.

Louisville was 15 minutes away from snapping a four-game losing streak against Kentucky and bringing the Governor’s Cup back to Derby City.
Despite taking a 24–21 lead into the fourth quarter, Wildcats running back Ray Davis and Kentucky’s defense stole the show. Davis registered two touchdown receptions in the second half and massive 37-yard touchdown run with nearly a minute to play in the game, giving the Cardinals the 38–31 advantage.

Ray Davis. Absolute beast.
His breakout for Kentucky has been so fun to watch this year.

It has taken New York Rangers forward Nick Bonino a bit of time to put a goal on the scoresheet as a member of the Blueshirts. However, when he finally did, Rangers announcer Sam Rosen made sure to tip his cap to one of the more memorable goal calls in recent years.
Bonino was a key part of the Pittsburgh Penguins back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2015-16 and 2016-17. Since then he has bounced around a little bit with stops in Nashville, Minnesota, and San Jose before being traded back to the Penguins last year at the deadline.

Gregg Doyel is not a fan of Aaron Rodgers. He believes the four-time NFL MVP is a bad guy, a science denier, an anti-vaxxer and — apparently — a bold-faced liar.
The Indianapolis Star columnist is accusing Rodgers of being deceitful about the injury that’s left him sidelined since Sept. 11. Doyel said he doesn’t believe the New York Jets quarterback actually tore his Achilles.
“I don’t believe for a second he suffered a torn Achilles, at least not as we know what a torn Achilles is,” Doyel posted on X. “Whatever Kevin Durant, Kobe and Brandon Graham suffered, he did not.

Ohio State lost to Michigan in heartbreaking fashion as the Wolverines punched their ticket to the Big Ten championship game, ending the Buckeyes regular season. The key drive of the game was Michigan’s last possession, as the offense executed a 13-play, seven-minute drive, which ended in a field goal and drained the clock to around one minute left.
That final Buckeyes defensive possession had fans thinking back to earlier in the year, when Lou Holtz called Ohio State soft before the Buckeyes’ game vs. Notre Dame in September.
