Brian Kelly didn’t come to LSU to watch buildings not related to the athletic program be built.
The Tigers opened the 2023 season with a blowout loss to Florida State. Brian Kelly’s team didn’t just lose. LSU got hammered in the second half.
It didn’t appear the LSU Tigers had any fight in them at all down the stretch, which should be the most concerning issue.
Kelly has been taking nonstop heat since the humiliating loss, and he even tried to claim he never said the team would win.
Fact check: He 100% said it.

Coach Kim Mulkey, who led LSU to the NCAA title in April, has agreed to terms with the school on a new 10-year contract worth $32 million, sources confirmed to ESPN. The deal will be the richest total contract in women’s college basketball history.

The US Open men’s singles semifinals will be the three best players in tennis and an American underdog.

LSU’s women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey is expected to earn a 10-year, $32 million deal on her next contract extension, per Nola.com’s Reed Darcey.
The extension reportedly won’t be finalized until Friday, when the LSU Board of Supervisors are set to meet and vote on approving the contract.
This would be quite the pay jump from what Mulkey was originally set to earn. Her previous contract had her earning $2.5 million per year until the 2029 season. The new deal will have her receive $2.75 million per year, and then over time will eventually raise up to $3.

Jasson Dominguez had three hits including his first Yankee Stadium homer as the Yankees beat the Tigers, 4-3, on Wednesday night to run their win streak to five games.

Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander were New York Mets teammates to start the year. On Wednesday, Scherzer and Verlander faced off for the first time in their careers, now part of the Rangers and Astros, respectively.
It was a hyped matchup between the two aces. Unfortunately, Scherzer looked nothing like an ace. He lasted only three innings against Houston, surrendering seven runs on six hits.
Scherzer left Texas in a 7-1 hole when he exited in the third. That beatdown for the Rangers came after getting trounced 14-1 the day before.

Patrick Mahomes’s resume contains a lot of wild statistics, but one in particular should worry the Lions as they get ready to face the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.
The Chiefs quarterback has shown out in his Week 1 matchups during his career, spanning back to his first season as Kansas City’s starter in 2018.
Here’s what Mahomes’s Week 1 stat lines have been the past five seasons. 
In 2018, he threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns. The following year he threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns.

The intensely hot conditions at this year’s U.S. Open has been quite the focal point at the tennis Grand Slam event, with players starting to chime in their thoughts about it being too hot.
Semifinalist Daniil Medvedev made sure his message about the heat didn’t go unnoticed as he spoke directly into the camera in between points on Wednesday during his quarterfinal match against Andrey Rublev.
While playing In Arthur Ashe Stadium, the roof was slightly open, meaning the sun shined directly onto the court and the air conditioning circulation remained poor.

Don’t count on a Los Angeles Rams’ bounceback season until 2024. The team delivered a dreaded update on Wednesday regarding star wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
According to head coach Sean McVay, Kupp was downgraded to OUT for Sunday’s Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Kupp is battling a hamstring injury, first suffered in August, that required attention from a specialist.

Nick Bosa signing his massive contract extension with the 49ers on Wednesday seems to have gotten J.J. Watt thinking.
Watt, who retired after the 2022 NFL season, took to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss Bosa’s $170 million contract extension, which the 34-year-old called “very well-deserved.”
After digging into the details of Bosa’s new deal, Watt declared that he’d “maybe” consider coming out of retirement if presented with a similar contract.
“Just getting a chance to sit down and look at the breakdown of Bosa’s new (very well-deserved) contract,” wrote Watt.
