College football fans have known for the last couple of seasons that Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. ranks as one of the best players in the country.
However, the Buckeyes took a few games to truly involve Harrison Jr. in 2023. Gradually, he and quarterback Kyle McCord developed a rapport, and on Saturday evening the top NFL prospect was finally able to detonate.
Harrison Jr. finished the Buckeyes’ game against Michigan State with seven catches for 149 yards and two receiving touchdowns to go with a 19-yard rushing touchdown on an end-around play.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. was struck by a car in City Center, Philadelphia on Saturday night, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Oubre is being treated at a local hospital and is in stable condition, a team spokesperson told ESPN. Oubre was walking near his residence when he was hit by the vehicle, and was taken to the hospital shortly after.
ESPN also reported that several representatives from the 76ers franchise, including president Daryl Morey, are with Oubre at the hospital.

FCS program Central Arkansas walked off the field with their seventh victory of the season thanks to a last second Hail Mary completion against Eastern Kentucky on Saturday evening.
Trailing 24–21 with three seconds to play, Bears quarterback Will McElvain took the shotgun snap, evaded the pass rush to his left and heaved a prayer towards the end zone. 
After the ball was batted through the air by the goal line a couple different times, wide receiver Jarrod Barnes came up with the football in traffic and broke the plane of the goal line for the touchdown.

Megan Rapinoe’s curtain call in professional soccer ended rather anticlimactically in a game against Gotham FC.
Just three minutes into her final appearance for the OL Reign, Rapinoe suffered a non-contact injury that forced her out of the match. Hopefully, it’s nothing super serious and she gets better soon.
The crowd in attendance applauded her as she walked off a soccer pitch for the final time.

Last week, No. 15 Oklahoma State left it all on the field against archrival No. 17 Oklahoma.
With the Sooners set to depart the Big 12 and join the SEC next year, this year’s Bedlam was the last one scheduled, with the winner holding bragging rights for the foreseeable future.
The Cowboys pulled off the upset, taking down the Sooners 27–24 in an instant classic.
Unfortunately for Oklahoma State, there was another game to play this week—a road trip to UCF. After such a monumental win against the Sooners, the Cowboys were trounced by the Knights, losing 45–3.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was just another spectator Saturday afternoon, as he sat out the No. 3 Wolverines’ 24–15 win over No. 10 Penn State as the opening leg of his three-game suspension.
However, in the spirit of Air Bud, there is no rule in the Big Ten’s bylaws that says Harbaugh can’t attend Michigan hockey games. And so he did, appearing with his team at the Wolverines’ game against Minnesota Saturday evening.

Megan Rapinoe and Ali Krieger may have been opponents in Saturday’s NWSL Championship game, but they’ll always be lifelong teammates thanks to their successes on the U.S. women’s national team.
That couldn’t have been more evident than when NJ/NY Gotham FC’s Krieger approached Rapinoe, who was forced out of the championship due to injury just two minutes into Saturday night’s match.

The Atlanta Braves are now a publicly traded company, meaning fans can now technically become part owners of a professional baseball team.
That’s interesting enough, but what’s even more fascinating is that as a publicly traded team, the Braves now have to release financial disclosures on their revenues, including profits or potential losses. Meaning that after years of guessing what teams around Major League Baseball make each year, we now have concrete information on it.
And at least for the Atlanta Braves, business is booming.

To say OL Reign midfielder Megan Rapinoe has had a decorated career is an understatement. The U.S. soccer icon won two World Cups, played in three countries at the club level and became one of the most recognizable activist-athletes in the history of sports.
However, Rapinoe’s career came to an end in gutting fashion on Saturday evening during the NWSL championship in San Diego.
Two minutes into the Reign’s match against NJ/NY Gotham FC, Rapinoe pulled up with an apparent non-contact injury.
