WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is no stranger to making headlines, but recently, one of them left him, and many pundits, scratching their heads.
The news story in question came courtesy of WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, who took issue with Punk, as a reigning champion, wearing a t-shirt while wrestling in a tag team match on the December 22 edition of “WWE Raw.” From Punk’s perspective, he remains puzzled by Nash’s remark due to the fact he doesn’t regularly wrestle in shirts.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Stailee Heard had 18 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists and Oklahoma State routed No. 19 Iowa State 86-58 on Sunday, sending the reeling Cyclones to their fifth consecutive loss.
It was Heard’s first career triple-double and the third in Oklahoma State history. She is averaging 20.8 points over the past four games.
Before Sunday, Iowa State’s losing streak included only one loss by double digits. Oklahoma State’s 13-0 run in the middle of the second quarter put the Cyclones down by 16 points and they never recovered.

The Houston Texans are riding a 10-game winning streak as they battle the New England Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday. Unfortunately, their chances of pulling off the road upset of the conference’s No. 2 playoff seed might have taken a huge hit with a key injury to one of the Texans’ more essential offensive players.
(Note: Perhaps the ongoing inclement weather in Foxborough might help even things up for Houston, regardless.)
Early on in the game, starting tight end Dalton Schultz had to leave the field and get evaluated in the locker room.

The No.2 seed New England Patriots welcome the No. 7 seed Houston Texans to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on Sunday afternoon for an NFL divisional round playoff game.
Snow is expected to fall during the game, with up to seven inches possible in the area.
The winner of the game, which kicks off at 3 p.m., will advance to play the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game next weekend.
The matchup pits Houston’s top-ranked defense against New England’s high-powered offense, led by MVP candidate Drake Maye.

Bills coach Sean McDermott wasn’t happy with the way officials handled a critical overtime play that resulted in a Broncos interception Saturday, saying it was “too big of a play” not to stop the game and review it.

Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair wore a message of “stop the genocide” on his eye black for the second straight playoff game despite reportedly being fined for it after last week’s wild-card round.

Broncos coach Sean Payton says he has complete confidence in Jarrett Stidham, who will start in the AFC Championship Game after Bo Nix’s injury.

Miami coach Mario Cristobal says the punishment that goes with a targeting call made in the second half needs to be reevaluated.

College Football Playoff leaders held an annual business meeting Sunday but did not reach a resolution on a future format as a deadline looms Friday.

At one point, after what has become a controversial call in the divisional playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos, Sean Dermott switched his calm press conference demeanor from talking about what’s logical to full-on emotion.
“…I’m standing up for Buffalo, dammit!” McDermott said. “I’m standing up for us…”
McDermott went further later, after the press conference, in that he called from the team plane to continue to argue his case. (More on that in a minute).
