The Connecticut Sun head coach could be headed back to the state where she began her basketball career.
The WNBA coach firing spree continued on Sunday morning, with the Indiana Fever announcing they have parted ways with head coach Christie Sides after two seasons. Sides helped lead the Fever to a 20-20 record and the organization’s first playoff berth since 2016.

For years, college football fans have wanted a true playoff.
Well, we’re about to enter November and the playoff picture is wide open.
I count a legit 25 teams that can look at their schedules and believe if they win out – or only lose one more game the rest of the way – that they have a legitimate shot at making the playoff.
Twenty of those teams – seven in the SEC, five in the ACC, four in the Big Ten, and four in the Big 12 – are in power four conferences. Toss in Notre Dame, and four more from outside the power conferences, and we’ve got an awesome November run coming.

After a tough 2024 season, Rickie Fowler finally turned in a solid performance at the ZOZO Championship in Japan.
Before this week in Japan, Rickie Fowler’s best finish of the 2024 season came three weeks ago at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi, where he tied for 16th.
It has been a struggle for Fowler, who won for the first time in four years at last year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Was Elko’s comment a not-so-subtle reference to former coach Jimbo Fisher?

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is great at two things: winning basketball games and coming across as a bitter old man. 
While the Spurs have been entirely irrelevant for the last half-decade, Popovich has turned more of his attention toward politics. Like many, his politics have nothing to do with policy or even hope for a better country, it’s solely focused on hating former President Donald Trump and anyone who supports him.

Byeong Hun An bested Tom Kim in a playoff, but he would not have gotten there without a minor miracle.
The ‘ole driver-off-the-deck never ceases to amaze, especially in crunch time.
Just ask Byeong Hun An, who pulled off a minor miracle on Sunday in his native South Korea. During the final round of the Genesis Championship—the final event of the DP World Tour’s regular season—An trailed by two with four holes to play.

As we approach November, it’s getting increasingly difficult to shrug off all we’ve seen as dumb luck, soft schedules and total flukes.

The Indiana Fever need a new head coach.
The team stunned fans Sunday morning when the franchise announced that head coach Christie Sides had been removed from her role and let go.
The Fever finished the season 20-20 with rookie sensation Caitlin Clark leading the way, and made its first postseason appearance since 2016.
Despite a rough 1-8 start, the team rallied around Clark to finish 19-12 down the stretch. That’s what makes the move so unbelievably surprising.

Penn State QB Drew Allar was very heated during a Saturday night win against Wisconsin.
Allar left the game at the very end of the first half of the 28-13 victory after suffering what appeared to be a lower body/ankle injury.
He never returned to the game, and Penn State backup Beau Pribula came in to lead the comeback effort against Luke Fickell’s Wisconsin team. 
A very bizarre moment unfolded as Allar went to the locker room. He was caught on the NBC broadcast cussing someone out.
