Sam Darnold’s dream season ended in a nightmare. Should the Vikings extend him?
A dream season for the Minnesota Vikings ended brutally on Monday night, as Minnesota lost to the Los Angeles Rams 27-9. Despite winning 14 games in the regular season, Sam Darnold and the Vikings will be watching the Divisional Round from the couch along with the rest of us.
And it is Darnold who is at the center of the biggest question facing the team.

On Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced three bills, each aimed at protecting women and girls in sports, OutKick has learned exclusively.
While keeping biological males out of women’s sports is a large part of Blackburn’s ultimate goal, it’s not the only important piece of her new legislation.
Blackburn introduced the Fair Play for Girls Act, which, in addition to keeping women’s sports for females, would “require the U.S. Attorney General to submit an analysis of violence against women in athletics to Congress.
The man who allegedly stalked Caitlin Clark, Michael Lewis, is being held on $50,000 bail and ordered not to have any contact with Clark after a disruptive hearing Tuesday in Indianapolis.
We can’t predict the outcome of this year’s Ryder Cup, but one thing that is an absolute certainty is that Team Europe will be walking into what could be the most hostile crowd the golf world has ever seen when they arrive at Bethpage Black in New York.
While we may still be eight months away from the Americans hosting the Europeans, Team Europe captain Luke Donald has started prepping his players for what’s to come in New York.
Sam Darnold was bad in Monday’s playoff loss to the Rams, but he was far from Minnesota’s only problem. All of the wild-card round losers have glaring holes.

The Lakers are gonna Laker.
On Monday, the team announced that due to their free giveaway of a Michael Cooper jersey that was full of “imperfections,” all fans in attendance would receive a complimentary gift in the coming weeks.
All fans in attendance for Monday’s Lakers – Spurs game found what was supposed to be a replica of Cooper’s jersey on their seat. This was prior to the team later raising his real jersey to the rafters to retire his No. 21 forever.

The Vikings are a part of history.
Another playoff season has come and gone for the Minnesota Vikings without success. The NFL’s best regular season team continues to struggle when the games matter the most, and that manifested on Monday night with a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams that made it look like the Vikings never belonged in the playoffs.
It was also a loss that cemented the Vikings in history once more.
Indiana has been one of the NBA’s hottest teams, winning six straight, capped by an impressive win over the NBA-best Cavaliers on Sunday.

The best teams left in the playoffs and how we piece them together.
Six playoff games are in books.
Seven games, and eight teams, remain standing on the road to Super Bowl LIX.
How did the Wild Card round influence our thinking when it comes to which of the eight teams left standing have the best odds of winning the Lombardi Trophy? As we did last week, our staff writers here at. SB Nation each ranked the teams left standing, and based on the voting results, we have our latest set of rankings.
Let’s take a different approach and look at three trades — including one involving Jimmy Butler — that make check the boxes of the modern NBA landscape.
Charles Huff had to deal with an outrageous locker room issue this past season at Marshall.
Huff is the new coach at Southern Miss after departing the Thundering Herd following a very successful 10-3 season.
He will now try to improve a program that won just one game this season, and for the sake of his sanity, he better hope he leaves one problem behind.
What was Huff’s biggest issue while coaching the Thundering Herd? Injuries? NIL? Locker room fights? Academics?
Nope.

Even though he joined LIV Golf, Jon Rahm remains steadfast in representing the Europeans at Bethpage Black.
Because of his affiliation with LIV Golf, Jon Rahm faces a bevy of sanctions and fines from the DP World Tour, which facilitates the Ryder Cup from the European side.
He does not know when arbitrators will settle those issues, but he is sure of one thing: he plans to play on the 2025 Ryder Cup team.

Safe to say he loved the look 👏 (via @itsjaz
Spurs stars Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama gave game-worn jerseys to JJ Redick’s sons, who lost their entire memorabilia collection in the wildfires that burned down their family home.
Stephen Curry said that while he wants the slumping Warriors to improve, he doesn’t want the team to make a “desperate” move that would “deplete the future.
Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond is leaving school early to enter the NFL draft, he told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
As Vikings QB Sam Darnold’s dream season sputtered to a close Monday night in a playoff loss to the Rams, he now heads toward free agency with his future as unsettled as ever.
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has spoken with Colorado coach Deion Sanders about Dallas’ open head coach position, a source confirmed to ESPN.
New details about now-banned NBA player Jontay Porter and his alleged betting habits have been revealed, and they are something, to put it incredibly mildly.
In early 2024, an investigation unveiled Porter’s scheme of purchasing player props to underperform to cash on his ‘under’ bets. It was also discovered that he bet against his own team, the Toronto Raptors, during his tenure with the club from 2023 to 2024.
Porter’s betting strategy included exiting games early due to a ‘medical reason’ to hit on his own player prop bets.

We have entered the final week of the college football season, with Ohio State and Notre Dame set to play for a title next Monday in Atlanta.
After what has been a wild ride that started in Dublin, Ireland, it will all come down to one final game inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For the Fighting Irish, I don’t know how many folks thought they’d be in this spot following that loss to Northern Illinois in September, but here they are, on the final leg of their redemption tour.

The Wild Card Round was unkind to a couple of superstar quarterbacks.
Somehow, at some point very recently, the NFL decided that the opening round of the playoffs was to be called the Wild Card Weekend. This was a startling change.
You see, in recent years the NFL has tried to force the round in question as the Super Wild Card Weekend and has done so in a (clearly) failing effort.
Sunday night’s game provided the first bit of true entertainment as the first four games of this whole thing were sleepy outings at best.

The professional divorce between Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and coach Mike McCarthy has been submitted for its autopsy, and that work is being done by reporters throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex now.
But the exercise, whichever direction it leads, has to start with the fact that Jones has hurt himself. And his football team.
It must be acknowledged that barring some trick up his sleeve, where he’s been stashing a secret weapon coach hire like Deion Sanders or Mike Tomlin (in trade), Jones put himself and his team at a significant disadvantage this NFL hiring cycle.

The Australian Open does not own all of its broadcasting rights. Therefore, it can’t broadcast every tournament match, at least not in the traditional sense. The tournament has thought way outside the box to combat this and still give fans a way to watch the match.
Several matches during the first couple of days of the Grand Slam have been streamed on YouTube. The players appear not as themselves but as Wii characters, technically called Mii characters, with movements matching those of the players on the court.

There are some stout defensive tackles available in free agency.
With a few defensive tackles projected to be taken in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and several plug-and-go starters available in free agency, the DT positions are sure to see some overhaul this offseason.
We polled a group of writers from around SB Nation to gather consensus rankings about the players.
We will remove players from the list as they re-sign with their current teams all the way up to the opening of free agency in March.
On Sunday, police arrested a man accused of stalking WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark. The details of the alleged stalking are disturbing.
As OutKick reported Monday, “the Marion County Prosecutor’s office alleged the man sent the Indiana Fever star numerous threats and sexually explicit messages via his social media accounts’” before eventually trying to physically contact Clark by traveling to Indianapolis.
The idiom that best suits Sam Darnold now? The bubble has burst.
Or the dream has become a nightmare.
It’s your choice, but this much is certain:
Darnold’s season that looked so promising and gave off such a feel-good vibe about the value of resiliency has collapsed. And the Minnesota Vikings quarterback found himself buried under the rubble Monday night.
“At the end of the day, all that matters, when you have a good season,” Darnold said, “is what you do in the playoffs. And we didn’t get it done today and that’s all that matters.
