The Colts run a fake punt! It works! Then on 1st down they leave the punt team on the field and fake punt again…. On 4th down! Freaking awesome!!!


This is just awesome!!!

One of the most incredible and unexpected days of my career. Meeting the Shields Brothers and seeing their newly revealed T206 Honus Wagner Card was absolutely breathtaking A Collectible that was a well-kept secret for over 100 years and now the world gets to see it. Watch…

Cabrera is a stud, that would be massive for the @Yankees

Yankees are talking to Marlins about Edward Cabrera, a terrifically talented pitcher coming off excellent year (3.53 ERA). Cubs and Giants (and others) also believed interested. Marlins pitching depth allows them to consider. @Ken_Rosenthal 1st mentioned NYY link



No Dak Prescott to start the 2nd half for the @dallascowboys Giants win & Cowboys lose would be helpful as it relates to the @NFLDraft


I have my doubts! He is a dad first kinda guy and loving coaching the kids! Would be a fun story though!!!

Former Colts QB Philip Rivers is viewed as a potential head coach candidate this hiring cycle and the current belief is that Rivers will get at least one opportunity to interview, possibly more, per @RapSheet. Before returning to the NFL after being retired for four years,…

Former SMU & Arkansas Head Coach Chad Morris going BACK to Clemson it seems

Clemson is finalizing a multi-year contract for new offensive coordinator Chad Morris, per ESPN sources. The deal is nearing completion and pending Board of Trustees Review on Monday. This confirms what @LarryWilliamsTI reported earlier, that Morris is headed back to Clemson.

Decent depth piece for the Yankees Thoughts?

Paul DeJong agrees to deal with Yankees. Minors deal, MLB camp invite.



This is hard to imagine

Since the NFL started recording interceptions in 1933, no team ever has finished a season without an interception. The Jets would be the first if they do not get an interception today at Buffalo.

This is hilarious

Insane: Former Raiders HC Jon Gruden once made his kicker Sebastian Janikowski kick a field goal while he was “DRUNK” “Janikowski late for curfew. He didn’t get back until 3 am, now I’m really pissed. He cant make field goals & he can’t make curfew.” 😳😳😳



That projected Texas Rangers lineup is not bad at all! Hoping and expecting for bounce backs from Burger Joc Jung & Carter. If even just 2 of them give Texas more than last year they offense will be much improved If Carter is healthy and hits he can definitely play Centerfield

Rangers projected lineup, per @BleacherReport 1. LF Brandon Nimmo 2. RF Wyatt Langford 3. SS Corey Seager 4. 1B Jake Burger 5. DH Joc Pederson 6. 3B Josh Jung 7. 2B Josh Smith 8. C Danny Jansen 9. CF Evan Carter I think Wyatt should be playing CF next year

Unpopular Opinion @Lane_Kiffin is a good guy Sorry haters


Good for Coach Cignetti!

Indiana's Rose Bowl win has triggered a contract review for Curt Cignetti. By making the CFP semifinal, Cignetti is owed a "good faith market review" of his $11.6M deal. If Indiana doesn't offer a top-3 salary, he could leave without a buyout, per the term sheet reviewed by FOS.



I kinda love this

It snowed and dude put a snowplow on his model train. Dudes could sit here for hours and be entertained



Arch Manning will be the top pick in the draft in 2027 or 2028 Probably 2027 Bookmark this!

ARCH MANNING WAS RUNNING AT A FASTER SPEED THEN SAQUON BARKLEY. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A MANNING LIKE ARCH. 🤯🤯🤯 x.com/GridironPulse1…

This is such a good representation of the way it used to be in Major League Baseball!

This sequence may have single-handedly led to the pitch clock. Zack Greinke throwing 1 Pitch vs. Secretariat winning the Kentucky Derby.



Love this very much! Well done @KirkHerbstreit !!!

One of the coolest things the Rose Bowl does is have the broadcast booth select the players of the game. Wanted to give it originally to the ENTIRE IU OL but when told that couldn’t happen I thought Pat really embodied the OL dominance for 60 minutes and should be the player of…
