Where does the soul of college football reside? There’s no one answer, but a good place to start has flown every Saturday morning since 2004 high above hundreds of fans during ESPN’s College GameDay. Whether it’s on an active aircraft carrier, in freezing temperatures in Montana, or in enemy territory in Seattle, a crimson flag with a white Washington State logo dubbed Ol’ Crimson has been there. Later this season, it will hit a milestone for 300 straight appearances, but lately, Ol’ Crimson has found some company.

Patrick Beverley has garnered a noteworthy reputation as a trash talker throughout his NBA career. According to the 12-year veteran, there are at least five players who deserve to stand in a class of their own in that department.
Appearing on GQ’s Actually Me, the 76ers guard answered questions from fans, which included offering his take on which players are the NBA’s “biggest trash talkers.” Beverley, without much hesitation, cast his picks with a corresponding starting five of Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, Luka Dončić, Russell Westbrook and, of course, himself.
The Oregon Ducks chose yet another uniform masterpiece for their upcoming game against the Washington Huskies.
The Ducks announced yesterday they will wear the “eggshell white” uniforms against the Huskies.
Despite not boasting any green or yellow elements like most new editions, the uniqueness and ingenuity are trademarks of Oregon football uniforms.

It marks the third time Oregon will don this uniform combination.
They came from the cities and from small towns. They spanned generations and races and body types. Some looked like they could still make weight; others not so much. It was the summer of 2021, and around 30 former Ohio State wrestlers quietly converged on a high school outside Columbus for a meeting. Others joined virtually. It had the look of a team reunion, but the mood was considerably more somber. This was akin to a family intervention, a revival meeting to attempt to repair the program’s ripped fabric.
James Harden said Friday he sees no way his relationship with 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey can be repaired but added his plan “is to play basketball.
Denver Broncos defensive back Damarri Mathis forgot the basic function of a defender last night.
During Denver’s Thursday Night Football game against the Chiefs, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes scrambled out of the pocket looking to pick up the first down. With the ball still in his hands, Mahomes emphatically pointed at running back Jerick McKinnon to block for him.
Mathis was in prime position to stop Mahomes from getting the first down. Because Mahomes still had the ball, Matthis should have attempted to tackle the quarterback.
The Atlanta Braves had Ronald Acuna Jr. at the plate with the bases loaded in the top of the 7th inning down two runs. Acuna just missed a pitch from Phillies reliever Craig Kimbrel, hitting a deep fly ball to left center field for an out, despite a .470 expected batting average.
He never came to the plate again, as pinch hitter Vaughn Grissom struck out to end the game with Acuna on deck.
After a remarkable offensive season, both for his team and on an individual basis, it was a disappointing finish.
As the Patriots sit at 1–4 to start the season, a big topic in New England is how long Bill Belichick will remain the team’s coach. While the six-time Super Bowl champion is considered the best coach of all time, at some point he and the team will go their separate ways.
Therefore, Belichick will eventually have to decide whether to stay in the game or retire completely, with joining the media as a possibility. According to The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch, some agents believe Belichick could realistically make $18 million to $20 million by working for a TV network.
After watching West Virginia fall in epic fashion on Thursday night, ESPN’s Pat McAfee could barely contain his disappointment in his alma mater on Friday’s The Pat McAfee Show.
A crushing, game-winning Hail Mary from Houston set the stage for both the Mountaineers and McAfee to receive an ample amount of trolling as the weekend approached. And, unfortunately for McAfee, Friday’s show included an appearance from Kirk Herbstreit, who clearly couldn’t get enough of watching his ESPN College GameDay co-analyst squirm.
It’s been over two months since the U.S. Women’s National Team was bounced from the 2023 Women’s World Cup. It was the worst outing in the team’s history, but former USWNT captain Carli Lloyd still has issues with the group she’d like the world to know.
Anyone who knows anything at all about soccer could watch the USWNT’s efforts in this year’s World Cup and realize that this team simply wasn’t that good. Carli Lloyd, who was part of the Fox Sports broadcast team for the tournament, was the lone person who had the courage to say out loud what everyone was thinking.
