A controversial volleyball season that has included protests, forfeits and lawsuits over a player who is said to be transgender gets its next chapter this week at the Mountain West tournament.

Jerry Jones does his weekly radio show on 105.4 The Fan in Dallas somewhat early in the morning, so it’s strange that he would say things about Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy that sound as if the club’s owner has been drinking excessively.
But here we are.
On Tuesday’s show, Jones raised the possibility of giving McCarthy a contract extension.
No, really.
“I don’t think that’s crazy at all,” Jones said. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left.

The run has come to an end for Mack Brown at North Carolina, as the school has fired the legendary head coach. 
After meetings on Monday within the athletic department and campus officials, the decision was made that it was best for the Tarheels if they moved in a different direction for the sake of the program. Returning to North Carolina in 2019, he has a record of 44-32 overall, finishing off his sixth season as head coach of the TarHeels.

The Philadelphia Eagles have the perfect opportunity to deliver the final knock out blow to the New York Giants that could psychologically set them back a decade.
After Eagles running back and former Giant Saquon Barkley put up an unbelievable 255 yards and two touchdowns this past weekend, Eagles fans began tweeting out a clip from HBO’s Hard Knocks that aired this past offseason in which it shows the true incompetence and arrogance of Giants General Manager Joe Schoen.

Smith recently sat down with Bill Maher on his ‘Club Random’ podcast where the two shared a few drinks and more than a few stories, and one about the President-Elect certainly stood out.
The ESPN personality recalled Trump calling him in 2014 to discuss, and complain, about NFL owners allegedly creating problems for his bid to purchase the Buffalo Bills.

The Wizards may not be very good this season, but Bilal Coulibaly is giving fans a reason to watch (and, maybe, believe in the future of this rebuild).
A lot of people haven’t watched the Washington Wizards this season, and, given the team’s 2-13 record, it’s hard to blame them. But that also means that a lot of basketball fans have missed out on the pure joy of watching their young forward, Bilal Coulibaly.

After his Nuggets “got embarrassed” in a 145-118 blowout loss to the Knicks on Monday night, coach Michael Malone was adamant this is one game that he won’t be “flushing.

Here’s a look at what’s at stake in Tuesday’s five-game NBA Cup slate, as well as the lay of the land in each of the six groups as the in-season tourney heats up.

A new era of Indiana Hoosiers football is underway.
The Hoosiers are 10-1 with one regular season game remaining, and it appears Indiana is a lock to make the 12-team College Football Playoff.
Head coach Curt Cignetti was recently handed a new contract that will pay him an average of $8 million annually through the 2032 season.
The man is going to make himself a ton of money in the coming years, and he won’t be getting rich alone.
Not only will Cignetti earn an average of $8 million over the duration of the contract, but his assistants will also get paid.
