21 years after Deion Sanders suited up for the Braves and the Falcons, the Phillies pay tribute
On Oct. 11, 1992, Deion Sanders almost did the unthinkable.
Are the Philadelphia Phillies trying to channel that energy over two decades later?
Back on that October day, Sanders suited up for the Atlanta Falcons as they took on the Miami Dolphins. In Atlanta’s 21-17 victory over Miami, Sanders caught one pass for nine yards and also helped the Falcons defense hold Dan Marino to just 250 passing yards.
But while the rest of the Falcons headed home, Sanders headed to his second job.

Following the Cowboys’ 42–10 loss to the 49ers in Week 5, no player has been fully absolved of blame, and this apparently includes wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. On the latest episode of FS1’s Undisputed, former NFL cornerback and current analyst Richard Sherman was blunt with his feelings about Lamb.
Skip Bayless asked Sherman whether Lamb has been overrated, to which the former All-Pro gave an emphatic yes to the idea if the Dallas receiver is considered a “bonafide” No. 1 wideout.
“If you think he’s a bonafide, lining up out there at [No.

After the OWGR denied LIV Golf from earning points, the Saudi-backed Tour issued a statement on social media.
LIV Golf received discouraging news on Tuesday as the Official World Golf Rankings declined their request for points.
The board evaluated their application but ultimately denied LIV Golf for a number of reasons. After the news broke, one of the top LIV golfers, Bryson DeChambeau, gave his thoughts. However, he wasn’t the only one as the LIV Golf itself issued a statement on their social media.
The Twins are on the brink of elimination in the ALDS against the Astros, trailing 2-1 in the series heading into Wednesday’s Game 4. Despite a 9-1 loss in Game 3 on Tuesday, at least one fan at Target Field remains optimistic.
During a Fox 9 postgame news broadcast, a Minnesota fan appeared in the background and began ranting about why he is still holding out hope of a World Series run for the Twins.
The newscasters were clearly getting a kick out of the fan’s comment, enabling him to speak his mind while on camera.
A new week on the college football calendar brings a handful of more top-25 matchups, including a top-10 showdown.
Saturday is a big day around the Pac-12 as No. 8 Oregon is set to visit No. 7 Washington, No. 18 UCLA plays No. 15 Oregon State and No. 10 USC takes on No. 21 Notre Dame. The other big game going on this weekend is in the ACC, as No. 12 North Carolina hosts No. 25 Miami, which just suffered a heartbreaking defeat.
There’s also a pair of big SEC bouts on deck as Texas A&M travels to play No. 19 Tennessee and Missouri matches up with No. 24 Kentucky.
“We have your playbook.” — William Sweeney of the FBI’s New York field office, Sept. 26, 2017.
Those words laced with false bravado launched a six-year stumble down a college basketball rabbit hole to nowhere. We have finally emerged, dumber for the experience—or at least far more cynical. The feds led us on a futile trek that wasted time and wrecked lives and—as usual—let the powerful skate while a few mid-level lieutenants got pinched. By the time it was finally over, the “crimes” themselves had become an anachronism in a changing college athletics world.
Thanks to a dominant 9-1 win on Tuesday afternoon, the Houston Astros are just one win away from advancing to the American League Championship Series yet again.
Astros starter Christian Javier overcame some early wildness and a first inning threat to go five innings allowing just one hit and no earned runs along with nine strikeouts. But during his start, he had to overcome more than just wildness.
Javier, not known as a fast worker, started off running the pitch clock down near zero before each pitch, and the fans quickly seized on the opportunity.
The Philadelphia Phillies take on the Atlanta Braves in game three of the NLDS on Wednesday evening, with the Deion Sanders effect out in full force. Thanks to Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos, Coach Prime might need to stock up on his apparel inventory.
It’s pretty easy to spot the Colorado craze over the last few weeks, especially with NFL and NBA legends showing up to Boulder. But, a few Phillies stars decided it was time to breakout the Deion Sanders gear as they prepare for the Braves.

Bowl games have been few and far between for Colorado during its Pac-12 tenure. The Buffaloes have played beyond the end of the regular season just twice since 2011—both Alamo Bowl losses to Oklahoma State (2016) and Texas (2020).
It’s a stark departure from the Buffaloes’ proud postseason heritage. Colorado, which went to a bowl game nine times in the 1990s and won six bowls in a row from 1993 to ’99, has not won a bowl game since topping UTEP in the 2004 Houston Bowl.
The 2023-24 NHL season is underway and with it comes a slew of new storylines.
The debut of Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard. Alex Ovechkin’s hunt to eclipse Wayne Gretzky’s goal-scoring record. Whether or not teams like the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs can finally make it over the hump.
But don’t think for a second that some of the storylines from last season have been written off completely.
