The Atlanta Falcons and Virginia Tech legend joins Bill Belichick as first time college head coaches this week
The ranks of head coaches in college football have gotten a major influx of big names over the last week with Bill Belichick taking over the University of North Carolina’s job and, now, Michael Vick reportedly taking the same job at Norfolk State.
Vick’s name became a hot topic on Monday with reports that Sacramento State was in discussions to bring him in as their head coach.

There’s always been a tacit understanding between the NFL and college football to not step on each other’s territory. It’s a symbiotic relationship, since many sports fans follow both sports very closely.
That’s why the NFL typically doesn’t play games on Saturdays, at least until the college football season has ended. 
But all of that is out the window this weekend.

They don’t play too far from each other, but it seems like things have really heated up between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils in recent years, and now the rivalry has entered the “T-shirt troll” phase.
First, some backstory. You may recall that earlier this month the Devils defeated the Rangers, and in that game, Devils star Jack Hughes had two goals.
However, it was one breakaway attempt that he missed which drew the ire of Rangers analyst and card-carrying member of the goaltenders’ union, Steve Valiquette.

Just a few months ago, news broke that there had been discussions across Major League Baseball to require pitchers to complete a minimum of six innings per outing, with limited exceptions.

Gunnar Henderson? Ethan Holliday? Or someone baseball fans haven’t even heard of yet?

6x Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy and 2x Super Bowl champion Kyle Van Noy recap Week 15 highlights, including Lamar Jackson’s 5-TD performance and Josh Allen’s record-setting game.

If you looked at the NFL schedule for Week 17 in the preseason and tried to guess which game might get moved INTO primetime, I don’t know how high the Atlanta Falcons-Washington Commanders match would have ranked.
Even knowing what we know now, I’m not sure how high the game would rank. But the NFL had to get rid of the game that was previously scheduled in that slot – Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns – because that matchup is terrible. 
Sure, it might have looked OK in the preseason.

Notre Dame‘s men’s hockey team has just unveiled a fantastic new uniform for its outdoor clash with Penn State early next month.
The NHL Winter Classic is coming up on New Year’s Eve at Wrigley Field with the Chicago Blackhawks taking on the St. Louis Blues, but it’s not the only game happening on the temporary sheet of ice.
On January 3, the Fighting Irish and Nittany Lions will hit the ice as part of what is being dubbed “The Frozen Confines: The Big Ten Hockey Series.

The Cubs have traded Cody Bellinger to the Yankees, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Tuesday. Chicago also is sending cash to New York in the deal, which will see right-handed reliever Cody Poteet go from the Yankees to the Cubs.

New York isn’t sitting on its hands after losing Juan Soto in free agency. The Yankees reportedly acquired former NL MVP Coby Bellinger in a deal with Chicago.
