Alabama defensive back Tony Mitchell knew that he was in hot water. He was arrested in March and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. He was trying to evade the authorities and reportedly drove his vehicle upwards of 141 miles per hour in order to do so. Mitchell was suspended by Nick Saban following his arrest and in May, was sentenced to three years of probation, a $1,560 fine and 100 hours of community service. Those are all severe punishments, but the former four-star defensive back has apparently learned from the experience. So much so that he's...

2021 second-round draft pick Kyle Trask may have already lost a supposed quarterback competition to free-agency signing Baker Mayfield before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even open summer training camp sessions. According to the Joe Bucs Fan website, retired quarterback, brother of New Orleans Saints' Derek Carr and current NFL Network personality David Carr suggested during an on-air segment that Mayfield began the first full week of June as the leader in the clubhouse to start over Trask when Tampa Bay opens the regular season at the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 10. "...Kyle Trask is going to have to do something extraordinary" to...

As a 280-pound converted linebacker, Kelce wasn’t even on many teams’ draft boards. Twelve years and 15 pounds later, many consider Kelce the best center in the NFL. After all, it’s hard to argue with six Pro Bowl appearances, five first-team All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl championship. According...

Campbell University has just an all-around awesome sports vibe. They're known as the Fighting Camels. I mean, how can you beat that?If their awesome nickname isn't enough to strike fear in the heart of their opponents, their "bat blessing" tradition certainly had to put the fear of the supernatural into the opposing dugout.

Michael Block was the biggest story in golf when he came out of nowhere to finish 15th in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, a run that included an incredible hole-in-one late in the final round. That unforgettable shot, and a nearly as incredible up-and-down on the 18th hole, qualified him for next year's PGA by one shot.However, if the 46-year-old club pro from Mission Viejo, Calif., wanted to parlay that finish into playing in next week's U.S. Open in Los Angeles, he was gonna have to get there the hard way, by placing in the top three in this...

According to commissioner Adam Silver, NBA expansion to cities like Seattle and Las Vegas is a "possibility" in the not-too-distant future. Appearing with the "Inside the NBA" crew ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals in Denver, Silver didn't break any news but made expansion sound inevitable for the league. "We don't have anything specific in mind right now, but I think it makes sense over time," Silver said via NBA TV. "If you're a successful organization that continues to grow, there's no doubt there's a lot of cities who are interested in having the NBA."While a lot has to happen,...

Adam Silver strongly implied Ja Morant is facing a significant suspension. That's for a second gun incident, but primarily for embarrassing the NBA.
Adam Silver on Ja Morant: “We’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information.

The best stat to determine a player's worth is WAR--wins above replacement--an analytical metric that was not available until relatively recently. The formula for WAR differs for position players and pitchers, and I'll lay it out in layman's terms. WAR uses every aspect of the game-- batting, baserunning, and fielding, factors in position and ballpark and determines how many wins better than a league average player an individual player might be. Using WAR to help us rank them, let's look at the top 24 players in the history of the Minnesota Twins franchise.Walter Johnson 1907-1927 (165.1 WAR) (1 of 24)The...
