There will not be a coaching search after the 2024 season for the Florida Gators, as athletic director Scott Stricklin announced that Billy Napier will be returning for another year. 
This is obviously not the news that some Florida fans wanted to hear after what has been an awkward season in Gaiensville, but for some, this was a move that was needed to keep stability within the program. 
Entering the season with an 11-14 record, the Gators were blown-out by Miami in the opener, then looked like a team with all sorts of problems against Texas A&M in the loss.

Billy Napier will continue to coach Florida, according to AD Scott Stricklin, who put to rest rampant speculation about the embattled coach’s future with the Gators.

Texas wide receiver Johntay Cook II is no longer with the program, sources confirmed to ESPN.

There aren’t many sports as intense as Formula 1 both on track and off. 
In the cockpit, drivers are pulling Gs like fighter pilots at over 200 mph and coming within inches of each other, Off track, the politics and decision making are infamously ruthless, so it’s not a surprise that those involved would be prone to a fleeting expletive every now and again.
I mean, I’ve got a sailor mouth going 80 along the Mad Max: Fury Road that is I-4. Imagine what I’d sound like turning some laps at Monza.

Saquon Barkley’s backwards hurdle was so great the NFL drug tested the Eagles star after the game.
Saquon Barkley did something that has seemingly never been done in an NFL game before during the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday: he hurdled a player backwards. Barkley’s backwards hurdle was immediately iconic, going mega viral on social media and leading every sports show on TV.
Barkley’s move was so spectacular that it also caught the attention of the NFL.

Tom Brady’s criticism of the NFL for ejecting Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch from Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers will not draw a fine as the so-called Brady broadcast rules suggest, an NFL source has confirmed.
And we can score that as another reason the rule as it applies to Brady has no teeth.
The league isn’t fining Brady because it doesn’t believe his comments rose to the level of criticizing officials in a manner it could not stomach.

Dalton Del Don identifies some of fantasy football’s most-deceiving stats … including Deebo Samuel’s rank as the WR33 on the season.

There is no love lost between the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers, Ja Morant made that abundantly clear after leading the Grizz to a win over LeBron James’ squad on Wednesday night.
Things got heated between the two stars in Memphis when Morant pulled an and-one finish after backing down Gabe Vincent in the post. After getting the bucket, Morant did the ‘too small’ gesture, letting Vincent know how he feels about his defending.

Le’Veon Bell was amped up and excited to see President-elect Donald Trump win the election.
The billionaire real estate mogul will return to the Oval Office as America’s 47th President after cruising past Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
Not only did Trump win the electoral college, but he also did something Republicans haven’t done in 20 years:
Win the popular vote.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star running back publicly jumped on the Trump train in the final stages of the campaign, and he was nothing but happy to see his guy win.

Here we go, it’s contract negotiation time in college football as the regular season is winding down and the transfer portal is closer to opening. So what will it cost for a school to keep a star defensive player from shopping his skillet around? It’s becoming clearer for South Carolina’s Dylan Stewart. 
This has always been the path we were headed towards, especially with revenue sharing becoming an in-house business transaction between players and their school of choice.

Pope Francis keeps using the New Orleans Saints hashtag on accident, and it’s gold.
As the head of the worldwide Catholic Church, Pope Francis is tasked with leading the Church, spreading Christianity, and acting as a vessel between the faithful and God.
In the Digital Age, that means meeting the flock where they are, which means spending time on social media. Over the time of his papacy, Pope Francis has consistently spread his message to parishioners via social media, such as X.

The Warriors have reinvented themselves as an NBA championship contender once again
The Golden State Warriors’ dynasty has been pronounced dead so many times over the years. It was dead when a 73-win team blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was dead when Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson each suffered devastating injuries in the 2019 NBA Finals before being upset by the Toronto Raptors.

Oregon will be rocking out in style this weekend against Maryland.
The Ducks are currently 9-0, ranked number one in America and it appears Dan Lanning has his program setup for a deep playoff run.

Oregon is known for having the best uniform game in college football thanks to the backing of Phil Knight and Nike.
There’s a never-ending supply of different uniform combinations, and the one for Saturday against Maryland is elite.

With new putter in hand, Tommy Fleetwood sits atop the leaderboard at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
Well, that certainly helps.
One day after Tommy Fleetwood made a putter change, the Englishman carded a 10-under 62 at the Yas Links in Abu Dhabi to match the course record and grab the solo lead after round one. He needed only 26 putts, which led the field, as he made eight birdies and an eagle on the par-5 2nd.

The contract will see $15 million guaranteed for Hubbard.

Paul Finebaum doesn’t sound like a fan of Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy.
The electric coach of the Cowboys is facing criticism after he called critics of the program poor and lacking the skills to be responsible people.
Gundy’s full quote, which he later apologized for, is below:
“That’s what happens in college athletics. It’s just on the bigger stage where people can voice their opinion, and in most cases, the people that are negative and voicing their opinion are the same one that can’t pay their own bills. They’re not taking care of themselves.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr almost had a level-headed, normal reaction to Donald Trump winning the 2024 Presidential Election over Kamala Harris. The keyword there is almost.
Kerr endorsed President Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election and then did the same for Vice President Kamala Harris when the Democratic party handed her the nomination. He spoke at the Democratic National Convention telling the world that he hoped the Democrats would get to tell Trump “night, night.

The first College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday night and while Vanderbilt was not ranked, they got the full attention of the committee, which should show how far this team has come this season. 
Entering the 2024 season, expectations for Vanderbilt to be discussed regarding the playoff was a thought that certainly didn’t cross the minds of folks outside the football building in Nashville. Now, that’s not a shot at the Commodores or Clark Lea, it’s just the reality of how tough the SEC is, and where Vandy has been over the past few seasons.

With MLB free agency underway, lots of the attention will be on Juan Soto, the biggest fish out there and one of the most exciting free agents in history.

WNBA player Natasha Cloud went off the rails after President-elect Donald Trump won the election.
Trump cruised back to the White House after winning the electoral college vote in a blowout against Kamala Harris and also winning the popular vote.
The 45th President will soon return to the White House as America’s 47th President. There’s been plenty of hot takes floating around, and the one from the Phoenix Mercury player is a doozy.
Cloud took to X Wednesday after Donald Trump won the election to share a take so delusional that it’s almost hard to believe it’s real.

The most serious allegation in the Title IX complaint filed by San Jose State associate head volleyball coach Melissa Batie-Smoose is that transgender player Blaire Fleming conspired with a Colorado State player to fix the match between the two teams on Oct. 3. 
Part of the reason for that, according to the complaint, is that Fleming wanted CSU hitter Malaya Jones to target SJSU setter Brooke Slusser with spikes, subjecting her to physical harm.

Tom Kim reportedly received only a warning from the KPGA after the locker-room incident two weeks ago.

While walking to Beaver Stadium this past Saturday, a person walked up to Jason while recording on their phone and asked him, “Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a fa—t for dating Taylor Swift? ” The question referred to Travis’ relationship with the megastar.
Jason turned around, snatched the person’s phone, and smashed it on the concrete.
