The Ole Miss head coach is weighing what is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions of his life. Kiffin has led the Rebels to an 11-1 record and a near-guaranteed first College Football Playoff berth'their best result in modern college football'but would he give it all up to become the head man at LSU? LSU is considered one of preeminent programs in all of college football. A school with a tremendous recruiting base, the support of practically the entire state of Louisiana, and a program that has seen three of its last four coaches win national championships. Though LSU is often viewed as a job no one could turn down, the decision becomes especially complicated for Kiffin due to the timeline. If Kiffin…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago (427+ words) The 2026 NBA draft appears to be loaded at the top with several options hoping to make their case for the No. 1 pick during the 202526 college basketball season. Ahead of tip-off for the NBA season, here is a look at the top 10 projected picks. Bill Self calls the 6' 6" Peterson the best freshman he has recruited at Kansas. The top American guard prospect since Cade Cunningham should be among the nation's top scorers this season." The 6' 8" Dybantsa is the kind of big scoring wing every NBA team wants. At 18, he already has advanced offensive skills and he'll finetune them under Cougars coach Kevin Young." The 6' 9" son of former Duke great Carlos may not have quite as high a ceiling as Peterson or Dybantsa, but he'll be a doubledouble machine for the Blue Devils, and likely in the NBA, too." The 6' 9" forward was…...

6+ mon, 3+ week ago (405+ words) Owner Shad Khan wanted his Jacksonville Jaguars to get better next season. The Jaguars did not have the season they wanted in 2024. So, for Khan, that meant he had to make changes around the franchise. And it started right away with the head coach and then moved on to the general manager. Khan went out and hired Liam Coen to be the Jaguars' new head coach. Coen is one of the biggest offensive play-callers in the National Football League. And new general manager James Gladstone is also one of the best personnel people in his respective position. This past week, we found out more about them. It was their first draft together in Jacksonville and they did not wait around and made a move right away that sent shock waves across the National Football League. The Jaguars traded up to…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago (432+ words) Denver (72) has won six consecutive games, though five of those were one-score contests. The Broncos" defense has been sensational in 2025, and Bo Nix is playing at a high level through the first half of the year." Meanwhile, Las Vegas was a seller at the trade deadline, parting ways with veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. The team sits at 26 after an overtime loss to the Jaguars last week. This matchup has the makings of a potentially lopsided win for the Broncos at home, so let"s make some bold predictions. Smith has been one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL this year. He has just two games in which he"s not thrown an interception, and has thrown multiple picks in three different games." Smith"s struggles will likely continue against one of the NFL"s best defenses. The…...

1+ mon, 2+ day ago (421+ words) The Vikings have placed veteran quarterback Carson Wentz on injured reserve as he is set to undergo season-ending surgery. Wentz started five games for Minnesota this season with J.J. McCarthy out with an ankle injury. Now the team's depth chart is set to be flipped again. McCarthy is expected back in Week 9, so he should slip right back into his old starting role. The 22-year-old missed his entire rookie season after undergoing knee surgery in the preseason of 2024, then began the 2025 campaign as the team's starter under center. He lasted two games before suffering a high ankle sprain during an awful performance in a 22-6 loss to the Falcons. So far, through two games this season, McCarthy is 24-of-41 (58.5%), for 301 yards, with two touchdowns and three interceptions. He has added seven carries for 50 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings selected McCarthy with…...

5+ day, 22+ hour ago (415+ words) Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol. Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that McCarthy started to feel symptoms on the flight home to Minneapolis on Sunday following the Vikings' 236 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field. McCarthy's status for the Vikings' Week 13 matchup against the Seahawks is up in the air. If McCarthy can't play, undrafted free agent Max Brosmer will start for the Vikings. O'Connell said Monday that Brosmer will command the first-team offense in practice while McCarthy rests. Brosmer signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent back in April shortly after the conclusion of the 2025 NFL draft.

9+ mon, 3+ week ago (408+ words) This will go down as one of the most consequential trade deadlines in Los Angeles Lakers history. LA traded Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic and added Mark Williams, on top of that. While Doncic is clearly the headliner from this deadline, the Williams trade is still a solid addition. The Lakers now have a starting center for this season and beyond. Williams was brought in from the Charlotte Hornets for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick, and a 2030 pick swap. Now that the Lakers have him, Williams will fit in well with who they have on the roster right now, as well as in the future. So what has he accomplished so far? Williams was the 15th overall pick out of Duke in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Hornets. They loved him coming out of Duke because of his…...
