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.

Sides, who led the Fever to their first playoff appearance in eight years, is the sixth coach to be let go in the WNBA this offseason.

The Cincinnati Bengals might be without WR Tee Higgins Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles
The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season sitting at 3-4, needing a win against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles to get back to .500, and keep hopes of a playoff run alive.
However, they might face the Eagles without one of their standout wide receivers.

Welcome to the Kermit the Frog Bowl.
We’re going to call it that because Sunday’s game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs is precisely that, based on the history of mockery by the Raiders, and the seriousness Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is taking that mockery leading to this game.
Here’s the history:
In July, for whatever reason, Raiders players started mocking Mahomes for his Kermit the Frog voice. 
And, full transparency here, even Travis Kelce at times has mocked his teammate about his voice. So it’s a thing.

Kevin Durant put a new spin on the “too small” taunt after hitting a shot over Luka Doncic.
The ‘too small’ taunt has taken over the NBA. Everyone from Giannis Antetokounmpo to Patrick Beverley has gone to the taunt on recent years, usually when scoring near the rim. Attacking a size mismatch is a tale as old as time in basketball, and when you have a “mouse in the house,” you need to get a bucket.
The Phoenix Suns faced the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday in a matchup of two of the league’s best talents: Luka Doncic on one side, Kevin Durant on the other.

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko was feeling himself on Saturday night, and rightfully so. Elko led the Aggies to a comeback win over LSU, solidifying Texas A&M as a legitimate candidate to make the College Football Playoff. Instead of focusing on that reality and his team’s effort on Saturday night, however, Elko decided to look in the rearview mirror, at least for a brief moment.

Jameial Lyons and Kaveion Keys are facing felony rape charges after an alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old on July 7.

Bravery became a powerful choice for the nine members of the University of Nevada’s women’s volleyball team as they united on Saturday to champion women’s rights. 
These female athletes took a stand to advocate for safety and fairness in sports, laying out the reasons why they objected to competing against a trans player on the San Jose State women’s team.

Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson failed to advance out of the second stage of LPGA Qualifying School, which brings Davidson’s quest at earning an LPGA card to an end, at least for now.
Davidson finished the four-round event at 2-over, which put them in a tie for 95th out of the 190 players that completed all four rounds. A total of 43 players advanced to the final stage of Q-School with 4-under being the cut line, meaning Davidson fell six shots short of advancing to December’s final stage.
