Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty wasn’t a household name heading into the season. Sure, those of us who cover college football on an hour-by-hour basis knew who he was. However, there might have been some heads that turned sideways like a dog that heard a high-pitched sound when seeing his name on Heisman Trophy odds boards.
Things have changed quite a bit since then. Jeanty is now the Heisman front-runner at +210 at BetOnline after ripping off an astonishing 1,248 yards and 17 touchdowns in just six games. That meteoric rise could take a mental toll on lesser men. Not Jeanty, though.

Nobody else is like Melo.
LaMelo Ball is back in all his freeform brilliance. On Wednesday night the Hornets guard opened his 2024-25 campaign with an absolutely staggering 34 point night, adding another eight rebounds and 11 assists.

A man in Canada is in trouble after allegedly crashing a Zamboni while under the influence of alcohol, and he did this while dressed as — of all things — a kangaroo.
According to CTV News, a 25-year-old man was cleaning the ice between a pair of games at a rink in Chelsea, Quebec, at around 9:45 on Oct. 21.

Xander Schauffele proved during the opening round of the ZOZO Championship that nobody, not even the No. 2 player in the world, is immune to making very dumb decisions on the golf course.
The now-viral moment came on the Par 4 8th hole when Schauffele blocked his teeshot left into the trees. His ball somehow nestled between two roots just inches from the trunk of the tree. He was faced with two options: try to advance the ball into a better position in hopes of maybe walking away with a bogey or taking an unplayable and get to work from there.

Whenever you are in trouble on the golf course, the best thing to do is to take your medicine, get the ball back in play, and avoid the big number that could ruin a day.
A bogey here or there does not destroy a round, especially if your ball came to rest in quite a predicament. Take your bogey and move on. You can survive.
