There’s more than meets the eye with Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado.
Ask an NBA fan about Jose Alvarado, and chances are the first thing they bring up is his defense.
And for good reason. The Puerto Rican guard who’s generously listed at 6-feet tall has made a name for himself in the basketball world over the past half decade as one of the sports’ preeminent pests.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc is focused on his own fight, and not the one between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris
AUSTIN — Thursday in the Ferrari hospitality space, Charles Leclerc addressed the assembled Formula 1 media world, including SB Nation. The very first question he faced was whether he would be acting as something of a “referee” in the title race between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.

A minor scandal erupted last weekend after the Georgia head coach appeared to shove Van Buren on the Georgia sideline.
Was contact made? Without a doubt, but it was clearly not on purpose. Smart was attempting to get the attention of DC Glenn Schumann when he made accidental contact with the Mississippi State QB.

Kirk Herbstreit put some Ohio State fans on blast after the team’s loss to Oregon.
The Buckeyes lost 32-31 to the Ducks this past weekend, and the game ended with OSU QB Will Howard scrambling as the clock hit zero instead of getting down for a final shot at the end zone or a field goal.
