As the undisputed greatest leadoff hitter of all time who played for 25 seasons, Henderson’s legacy is difficult to distill into any single statistic or highlight. But his stolen-bases record is a good start.

Anthony Davis missed two free throws to nearly cost the Lakers a game against the Kings, and his wife made sure to let him know how lucky he was that Rui Hachimura bailed him out in the most savage way possible.
Anthony Davis already helped cost the Lakers one game against the Orlando Magic by missing two clutch free throws earlier this season, and he nearly did it again in the team’s narrow win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.

Wisconsin’s football program continues to take devastating hits.
Fresh off the team finishing 5-7 and a 22-year bowl streak coming to an end, head coach Luke Fickell has seen a mass exodus of players to the portal.
Quarterbacks Tyler Van Dyke and Braedyn Locke are already out the door, and there’s another passer now added to the list.
Wisconsin QB Mabrey Mettauer is entering the transfer portal, according to Matt Zenitz. Mabrey retweeted the report to confirm it, and it’s without a doubt one of the worst blows the team has taken during all the chaos of 2024.

Football is war.
This includes psychological warfare, and the Tennessee Volunteers decided to go with one of the most popular tricks in the football psychological warfare playbook as of late, by hitting the field at frosty Ohio Stadium without an ounce of cloth anywhere on their torsos.
That’s right, no-shirt cold-weather warmups are back.
We saw a few teams take this approach a couple of weeks ago, when we talked about both the Arkansas Razorbacks and FCS’s Grand Valley State Lakers both did this on the same weekend.
Did it work?
No, both lost that weekend.

There was that play in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on which Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson rolled right, then he looked all the way to the other side of the field to throw.
Jackson locked on to teammate Zay Flowers. And even though everyone on the Steelers defense saw him looking at only one guy, nobody believed Jackson would be throwing across the entire freaking field. 
But that’s exactly what Jackson did. 
The ball hit Flowers right in the hands.

Texas fended off a late charge from Clemson for a 38-24 win in its first-round College Football Playoff matchup, and it did so in a very “Texas” way – running the ball and playing defense.
Jaydon Blue and Quintrevion Wisner went over the 100-yard mark on the ground, and the Longhorns defense held the Tigers to just 3.2 yards per rush in a game that, aside from a slight scare early in the fourth, was in their control from their first drive of the game.

Some SMU donors got an expected tour of the Keystone State when their flight to State College to see the Mustangs take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in the first round of the College Football Playoff was diverted to Williamsport and they had to take a bus to Beaver Stadium.
The ordeal reportedly caused them to miss the first quarter, although considering how the game panned out for the Mustangs, they probably wish they had missed a bit more.
Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger posted the story on X Saturday afternoon.

For all the pyrotechnics of the modern offense, the expanded CFP has started off with games where one team was capable of manhandling the other.

“My intention was never to go out there and hurt nobody,” Bullock said after the game.

Texans receiver Tank Dell will remain hospitalized overnight with a “significant” knee injury sustained during the third quarter of Saturday’s game against the Chiefs.
