UFC sensation Jorge Masvidal thinks you’d have to be a moron to defund the police.
For reasons that don’t make sense to rational people, there’s been a huge movement on the left to defund the police. Amid major crime issues and violent riots across the country in 2020, people want to know somebody has their back. Instead of doing more to keep communities safe, some politicians and activists have argued for the exact opposite:
Take money away from the police.
Jorge Masvidal doesn’t support defunding the police.

Why Carolina is trying to make the NFL believe they’ll be unpredictable at No. 1
The Carolina Panthers’ brass are on a multi-stop quarterback tour, like a happy family band piling into a tour bus. On Tuesday no fewer than 11 different coaches, scouts, and advisors from the team were in attendance to see CJ Stroud at Ohio State’s pro day, including team owner David Tepper and his wife Nicole.

Both remaining No. 1 seeds in the men’s NCAA tournament are in action on Friday, so look out for big spreads on the second day of the Sweet 16.

The last two remaining No. 1 seeds in the men’s NCAA tournament are both scheduled to play on the second day of the Sweet 16.
The first game to tip off pits the top overall seed, Alabama, against No. 5 San Diego State. And the next game will feature No. 1 Houston and No. 5 Miami, two teams that are both fresh off deep March Madness runs and are looking to repeat that recent success.

SVP on losing his voice on live TV: ‘WTF is this about?’
1. We all need certain things to do our jobs. For a SportsCenter anchor, there isn’t anything more important than having a voice. It’s pretty much a necessity for doing live TV.
Unfortunately, for Scott Van Pelt this became an issue Wednesday night when he started losing his voice during the show.
There was something oddly hilarious about watching the poor guy struggle through the show only because he’s always so smooth and so damn good that you couldn’t help but be fascinated by how this would end up.

Four teams are eligible to be selected for ‘Hard Knocks,’ but one stands above the rest.
Each NFL preseason brings fans a new season of HBO’s Hard Knocks. The compelling docuseries takes a behind-the-scenes look at one franchise as it prepares for the upcoming season and makes some tough roster decisions to whittle the team down to 53 active roster players. 
Few teams would actively volunteer to have HBO’s crew hanging around during those crucial preseason weeks, so the NFL has created eligibility guidelines outlining which teams can be chosen in a given year.

Immanuel Quickley has flashed an ability to score, but his attention to detail and commitment to defense have helped him enter the Sixth Man of the Year conversation.

Dale Lindsey may not be a household name for most, but he is one of the greatest college football coaches in history. The former Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints linebacker got into coaching more than 50 years ago.
Needless to say, the 80-year-old been around for awhile.
Lindsey coached with 19 different teams across the high school, NCAA, NFL, AFL and USFL ranks from 1974 to 2012, including a stint as the defensive coordinator for the Chargers, before landing as the head coach at the University of San Diego in 2013.

Coach Prime has already taken Colorado to uncharted territory with a social media buzz that has famous alums scrambling for tickets.

Golden State isn’t out of contention in the West just yet, despite its ‘Two Timelines’ experiment being an all-time failure, and a disservice to its star trio.
Seventy-four games into the season, the Warriors finally achieved a feat that had eluded them all year long: They won consecutive road games. Golden State is now a robust 9–29 away from the Bay this season after a 127–125 win over the Mavs on Wednesday, a dispiriting mark in what’s been a largely disappointing season for the defending champs.

Where the bracket stands after an opening two rounds filled with upsets, blowouts and—of course—madness.
Welcome to the women’s Sweet 16. After the tournament opened with a whole lot of chalk—including some overwhelming displays of dominance by the top seeds—the following days offered a whole lot of … not. This is the first time in a generation that two No. 1 teams have gone down before the Sweet 16. That naturally means the remaining bracket is a bit more chaotic than you may have expected. So before the first game of the next round tips off Friday at 2:30 p.m. ET—No.
