A football coach in Washington state who was fired for leading his players in on-field prayers will get his job back and a whole lot more.
Joseph Kennedy started coaching at Bremerton High School in 2008. He eventually started praying at the 50-yard line after games. Eventually, some players chose to participate as well. This concerned the school district and they suspended him in 2015.
“It was my covenant between me and God that after every game, win or lose, I’m going to do it right there on the field of battle,” Kennedy told ABC News in a 2022 interview.

Rick Pitino is back at the helm of a college basketball program on the power conference level. After three years with Iona, the Basketball Hall of Famer was introduced at St. John’s on Tuesday and came out hot.

Questions about the past still remain.
Pitino’s time at Hawaii was marred by a 1977 NCAA report on sanctions against the programs.

Tristan H. Cockcroft and Eric Karabell reveal their ideal outcomes for the first two rounds of a 10-team draft from the point of view of any of the starting draft positions.

One European soccer fan was penalized for using his hands on the pitch. During a match between Dutch club PSV Eindhoven and Spain’s Sevilla, one wild PSV fan ran onto the pitch and punched Sevilla goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović.
The blindside punch landed on Dmitrović, but the 6-foot-4 keeper quickly took down the fan. Like a gazelle pouncing on a hog, Dmitrović was all over the plump fan in seconds.

Willis Reed, the Hall of Fame center who helped the New York Knicks win two championships during the 1970s, has died. He was 80.

The madness of march continues with the men’s Sweet 16, where seven of the eight matchups have point spreads of less than eight points.
After the usual first-week bracket busting of the NCAA tournament, it’s time to sift through the wreckage in search of a new set of underdogs to back. With seven of the eight games featuring point spreads of less than eight points — and four of them less than five points — the expectation is for a lot of close and competitive basketball this week.
The ‘dogs I’m focused on this week:
Sweet 16 Bet: No. 9 Florida Atlantic (+5.5) vs. No.

The veteran totaled six sacks in Dallas last season.
The Cowboys are bringing back pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. on a one-year deal, ESPN’s Jon Machota reports.
Fowler is a seven-year NFL veteran whom the Jaguars originally drafted with the third pick of the 2015 NFL draft. After missing his entire rookie season, Fowler played 2.5 seasons in Jacksonville before the team traded him to the Rams in ’18.
Since then, Fowler has played for Los Angeles, Atlanta and Dallas as a primary pass rusher.

The Kentucky coach received some backlash for the nickname he used in reference to Markquis Nowell.
Following Kansas State’s 75–69 win over Kentucky in Sunday’s round of 32 game in the men’s NCAA tournament, Kentucky coach John Calipari referred to one of the opposing players as “the little kid.”
That player was Markquis Nowell, who scored 27 points and racked up nine assists, three steals and two rebounds for the victorious Wildcats on Sunday. Nowell stands at just 5’ 7”, so traditionally much shorter than the average men’s college basketball player.

Basketball fans were concerned over the weekend after Shaquille O’ Neal tweeted a photo of himself in a hospital bed.
But don’t worry, he’s just getting a gigantic Brazilian Butt Lift.

Vikingo is ready to show the world why the hype around him is warranted.
Vikingo will make his AEW debut this week in a long-awaited match against Kenny Omega.
Initially set to meet at AAA’s Triplemanía in December 2021, they were called off due to Omega’s mounting injuries, which necessitated him to be away from wrestling for more than eight months. Before his time away to recuperate, Omega was AAA’s mega champion—but he was forced to relinquish the title, which was then won by Vikingo at that same Triplemanía.
