Tennessee beat Alabama last year for the first time since 2006, and Volunteers fans are definitely still holding onto that feeling heading into Saturday’s showdown.
Tennessee alum Peyton Manning expressed his feelings on this year’s matchup while speaking on Thursday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show. Last year’s win seemed to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback forget about all the previous 15 losses in a row.
“It’s funny, I mean I can’t think of the last time Alabama’s beaten us,” Manning jokingly said. “We obviously took care of business last year.
Alternate broadcasts of sporting events are all the rage, and we could do a whole hell of a lot worse than an alternate broadcast of the MLB playoffs hosted by Philadelphia Eagles players D’Andre Swift and Terrell Edmunds. At least if we can recapture the magic of their recent trip to Game 2 of the NLCS.
The two got some prime seats to catch the hometown Phillies annihilating the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLCS, and their mic ‘d-up banter would make for a phenomenal viewing experience.
When Notre Dame beat USC over the weekend, the Fighting Irish gave the Trojans their first loss of the season.
In addition to putting a major hurdle between USC and a spot in the College Football Playoff, the loss also came with a bit of pain for one high-profile alum.
On Thursday, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown spoke with media while dressed as a leprechaun to pay off a bet with teammate Julian Okwara. St. Brown, who starred at USC from 2018 to ’20, made a deal with Okwara, who played at Notre Dame from 2016 to ’19, that the loser had to dress up as the other’s mascot.

The wild part is that these Phillies fans aren’t even going to the game… they are simply buying up the tickets so that Diamondbacks fans CAN’T go. Gotta respect the hustle, even if it is Philly we’re talking about.
Phillies fans are now buying tickets to tonight’s Game 3 in Arizona just to keep the seats empty and not go.
This city is undefeated.
The Celtics struck a trade to acquire Jrue Holiday after he was initially dealt to the Trail Blazers as part of the Damian Lillard deal. Now, fans are hoping Boston’s new No. 4 can replicate some of the success that a recent fan-favorite who wore that number, Isaiah Thomas, had.
Holiday addressed his decision to change his jersey to No. 4, citing him and his three siblings (the four Holidays are all notable basketball players) and Thomas himself, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. Holiday also revealed that he reached out to Thomas prior to choosing the No. 4.
