Ohio State football coach Ryan Day bluntly refuted allegations Ohio State stole Michigan signs and gave them to Purdue.
A cheating scandal has consumed Michigan and Jim Harbaugh amid allegations the Wolverines ran a complex sign stealing operation. Alleged pointman Connor Stalions has since resigned and taken the fall. Now, everyone is waiting to see what the Big Ten will do in response. Punishment could come at any time.

The Lakers suffered their fifth loss of the season on Wednesday night against the Rockets as Houston captured a whopping 128–94 win.
This means Los Angeles has yet to win an away game in its first five games on the road this season. All three of the team’s wins came at home.
The Lakers also became the first NBA team in history to reach two unfortunate marks regarding three-point attempts.

It’s another edition of ‘Stat Nerd Thursday’ on the pod as Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don provide one stat you need to know for every time in the NFL heading into Week 10. The two also breakdown all the fantasy angles of the TNF matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears. Yes, we know it’s a dreadful game but you’ll watch it and find love for it anyways.

There was a certain relief felt by FAU coach Dusty May to finally tip off his team’s season Wednesday, two days after most of the nation got their 2023–24 campaigns underway and 221 since the team’s dream 2022–23 season came to a close.
Closure was the word May used to describe it, officially starting a new chapter for a team looking to elevate itself from one Cinderella run into a consistent power. The No.

Just what the failing NBA needed … terrible officiating.
The most egregious technical foul televised in an NBA game in recent memory happened Wednesday night. A ridiculous tech was called on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the two-time MVP exited the game early.
Antotokounmpo earned his second technical of the game after finishing a fast break with a dunk on Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart.
Antetokounmpo — who’s one of the rare likable characters in the NBA — celebrated in Stewart’s face after the emphatic dunk, and the ref responded with a tech on Giannis.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected from Wednesday night’s Bucks vs. Pistons game in the third quarter after he was handed his second technical foul of the contest.
Antetokounmpo dunked the ball over Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart and stared him down briefly after. The referees blew the whistle on the Bucks star, and since Antetokounmpo had earned a technical foul in the second quarter as well, he was ejected from the game.
The Bucks forward questioned the referees over the call, attempting to speak with them after the whistle blew.

Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama wasn’t lacking any confidence ahead of his first NBA game at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks.
But after saying before the game that he expected MSG to be bigger than it actually is, Wembanyama and San Antonio struggled massively under the bright lights of New York on Wednesday evening.
During a trip to the free-throw line in the second half, Knicks fans took the opportunity to troll the No. 1 pick over his lackluster game, serving Wembanyama with a classic “overrated” chant.

The 2023 World Series between the 84-win Arizona Diamondbacks and 90-win Texas Rangers was the culmination of Major League Baseball’s new postseason format, which seems to punish division winning teams.

In both years of the league’s new wild card format, the #6 seed from the National League made the World Series. Given the low profile of both teams and lack of star power in this year’s series, it wasn’t surprising that ratings sunk to record lows.
And Scott Boras has a plan to fix it.

It didn’t take long for the battle between LeBron James and Dillon Brooks to heat up on Wednesday night. During the first quarter of the Lakers–Rockets clash, James showcased his physicality by backing Brooks down to the basket with some old-school, 90’s style post moves.
Brooks was playing good defense on James, but he was no match for the strength of Los Angeles’s superstar, who bullied him all the way to the rim.
Even at age 38, James remains one of the toughest matchups an NBA defender can draw, though Brooks was handling the assignment well early on.

James Harden bit the hand that fed him in Philadelphia. Everywhere he goes, Harden’s decision follows.
Brooklyn Nets fans had fun at Harden’s expense on Wednesday during the Los Angeles Clippers’ visit to Barclays Center. They began chanting “Daryl Morey” in the first quarter of the game, bringing up a sour memory for Harden, a former Net himself.
