data-mm-id=”_g0s64m1ry”>If the College Football Playoff started today, the Ohio State Buckeyes would be included, representing the Big Ten for the fourth time since 2014. OSU has overcome a shortened season, a bunch of criticism, and failing to qualify for their title game to make it there, but first they have to beat Northwestern in the B1G title game. Seems easy enough, but this morning on SiriusXM's Full Ride show, Rick Neuheisel said he had heard one of the Buckeyes' star wide receivers had tested positive for COVID. This IS NOT confirmed, but SiriusXM's Rick Neuheisel is reporting that an OSU "star wide receiver" has tested positive for COVID. That seems to indicate Olave or Wilson. If true, we don't know how contact tracing will impact the team, or i…

data-mm-id=”_m3isc4w6m”>The PGA Tour and LIV Golf announced a merger on Tuesday and it's clear a lot of folks are upset. Perhaps no group feels as betrayed as 9/11 Families United. The group released a scathing statement shortly after the PGA announced its agreement with the Saudi-backed tour. Here's what it said:PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan co-opted the 9/11 community last year in the PGA's unequivocal agreement that the Saudi LIV project was nothing more than sportswashing of Saudi Arabia's reputation. But now the PGA and Monahan appear to have become just more paid Saudi shills, taking billions of dollars to cleanse the Saudi reputation so that Americans and the world will forget how the Kingdom spent their billions of dollars before 9/11 to fund terrorism, sprea…

data-mm-id=”_0ap2oumf7″>Louisiana Tech and UTEP faced off on Friday night and things got ugly. At one point, Bulldogs linebacker Brevin Randle stomped on the neck of Miners offensive lineman Steven Hubbard after a play. It was one of the dirtiest plays college football has seen in a long time. With 10:56 left in the first half, UTEP's Jake McNamara ran for 11 yards before fumbling. In the scrum afterwards, Louisiana Tech's Willie Roberts recovered the ball. As that was playing out, Randle got real dirty. Check this out:Uh, wow pic.twitter.com/8CsnOyqkhB— Bud Elliott (@BudElliott3) September 30, 2023Randle shoves Hubbard after the play is already over, then gets up and stomps on his neck. It was clearly intentional. Officials somehow missed it and he wasn't called for …

data-mm-id=”_zgoc3ubdj”>CM Punk shocked the pro wrestling world when he showed up at Survivor Series on Saturday night. His return to WWE was a well-kept secret and was apparently finalized just hours before he showed up. On Monday night, he made his first appearance on Raw since 2014. Here's his entire segment:This is a huge deal for WWE and, frankly, the show's ratings. No matter what anyone thinks of him, Punk is a draw. People watch him and talk about him. He gets headlines and draws eyeballs. In the end, that's what the entire business is about. It's also big for Punk, he was nearly run out of the business by several incidents during a rocky tenure at AEW. Now he's back with the top company in the business. During a stretch from 2011 to 2014, Punk became t…

data-mm-id=”_32pp9wfz4″>Travis Kelce became a three-time Super Bowl champion last night, catching nine passes for 93 yards to help propel the Kansas City Chiefs to their comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers. And if there's anything we know about this Kelce brother, it's that he was going to blow it out in Las Vegas afterwards. He and the rest of the Chiefs hit the strip to celebrate at one of the many clubs Sin City has to offer. The Chainsmokers (or some DJ who somehow acquired a Chainsmokers Chiefs jersey) DJ'd the party, and at one point paid homage to Taylor Swift's presence by blasting her 2008 hit "You Belong With Me." Kelce got up in the DJ booth and went nuts. Travis Kelce singing "You Belong With Me" to Taylor Swift after winnin…

The honor is bestowed upon those who've earned the spotlight — from beloved celebrities to every-day heroes in the community.The New York Mets' decision to have Haliey Welch — better known as "Hawk Tuah Girl" — participate in Thursday's pregame festivities didn't rise to that lofty level of respect, at least not for the disapproving masses on social media.Hailey Welch throws out the first pitch at today’s Mets game pic.twitter.com/1iu8MzIlbz— SNY Mets (@SNY_Mets) August 15, 2024WFAN Radio's Sal Licata was the loudest to express his outrage..@sal_licata absolutely los…

Xabi Alonso has responded to Paul Merson s comments after the Arsenal legend suggested that he could regret turning down the Liverpool job.

For quite some time, Alonso seemed like the obvious candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season.

Given the tremendously good job he’s done with Bayer Leverkusen and coupled with the fact that he used to play for the club.

However, , in order to remain at Bayer Leverkusen for the time being.

My job at Bayer is not over, Alonso said upon committing his future to the club. I’m still [a] young coach but I think this is the best decision for my future. I took my time and I’m sure about that.

I’m not gonna comment about Liverpool or Bayern. These are big clubs and I’ve strong links with…

Tottenham are reportedly ready to cash in on three of their big-name players as Ange Postecoglou eyes an ambitious rebuild in the summer.

While Spurs got off to a fast start under Postecoglou, the club have hit a brick wall in recent weeks,

In the build-up to Tottenham s upcoming clash with Liverpool, Postecoglou warned that change is coming and it seems like a number of players could be sold in the summer.

I ve got to change this squad, the Tottenham boss told reporters.

I have to because I ve got to build a squad I think can play our football. For that to happen, there has to be exits.

We ve had two windows and we ve had some development of players, for sure, but when I say we ve still got a long way to go, that s what I m talking a…
