DESTIN, Fla.- Welcome to the SEC, Texas and Oklahoma! The conference is entering one of its biggest weeks since the pair decided to jump ship from the Big 12.

After a year that proved to be a major false start under the ownership of Todd Boehly, the Chelsea restart officially has begun with the hiring of former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Over the last season, Chelsea burned through two high-profile managers in Thomas Tuchel, who led the side to a Champions League title in his first season, and Graham Potter.

Aaron Judge was the subject of some controversy earlier this month when Blue Jays broadcasters pointed out he was looking off toward his right during an at-bat against reliever Jay Jackson in Toronto, hinting that someone from his squad was relaying tips. Immediately after the game, the Yankees slugger said he was just looking at teammates chirping in the dugout.
