Olivia Dunne might have some serious competition coming from Jess Gardner.
Jess is a junior pole vaulter for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and appears to be just as successful outside of sports as in it.
She was a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and Academic All-Big Ten in 2021 and 2022. Very impressive for sure, but her true skills might be on TikTok.
While Jess Gardner only has a fraction of Dunne’s following on TikTok (6.9 million to just over 113,000 thousand), Jess shows a lot of potential. Specifically, she really seems to love lip syncing to popular hits.

Teams will have an unprecedented amount to spend on their rosters this upcoming offseason.
The NFL informed teams Monday that the 2023 salary cap will be the highest mark in league history, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport. 
The league revealed that the cap will be set at $224.8 million per club, shattering the previous record of $208.2 million, set in 2022. Previous reports had indicated the cap was bound for a record high, but an increase of over $16 million still qualifies as a surprising jump.

The trade deadline is heating up. Here is the latest possible trades we could see before the deadline.
One of the most significant events of the NBA season is less than two weeks away, and some teams are looking to make moves. The NBA trade deadline is only 10 days away, and according to Sham Charania, several organizations are starting to gauge the trade market.
The parity in the NBA is at an all-time high. We haven’t seen a dominant team this season, especially in the Western Conference.

It seems like more flags are being thrown than ever in the NFL. That’s not true. But penalties these days are much more likely to impact the outcomes of games, just as they did last night in the Bengals-Chiefs AFC championship.
Something bothered me about the late-hit penalty on Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai in the AFC Championship Game. It wasn’t the ruling, which was correct, or the rule, which makes sense.

Michele Tafoya joined ‘Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich‘ on Monday morning to recap championship weekend around the NFL and shared her reaction to Joseph Ossai’s boneheaded play at the end of the AFC title game.
With the game tied at 20-20 with just 17 seconds left in regulation, Patrick Mahomes scrambled out of the pocket to the Bengal’s 42-yard line. As the Kansas City quarterback was well out of bounds, Ossai shoved Mahomes in the back which resulted in an unnecessary roughness penalty moving the ball to the 27-yard line.

Among others, the Bucs are considering several young assistants for their offensive coordinator role, including former Vikings OC Klint Kubiak.
