An already sketchy week for Sports Illustrated got even rougher on Thursday morning.The sports media giant received scores of criticisms on social media for selecting University of Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders as its Sportsperson of the Year.
The coach of a 4-8 football team (1-8 in the Pac-12) is the SI Sportsperson of the Year.Tough week for a once proud journalistic institution. https://t.co/LDbr6FpxBO

Did the fake writers pick this? Didn’t the guy go 4-8? https://t.co/Ze15CfQoK4

The odds are in Michigan's favor heading into the Big Ten Championship game.The early point spread favors Michigan by 23.5 points over Iowa, and it makes sense considering the Wolverines' dominance in 2023. They're 12-0, ranked No. 3 in the country, one of the favorites to win the College Football Playoff national championship and they just dispatched arch-rival Ohio State for the third-straight season.Michigan is good. Real good. But a 23.5-point favorite? That's silly in a championship game. Speaking of silly, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz thinks there's another humorous outcome to the game as well.

Jeremiah Smith is the real deal. Even future NBA Hall of Famer LeBron James is hyping up the five-star Ohio State wide receiver commit from Opa Locka, Florida (Chaminade-Madonna Prep).Smith has been committed to Ryan Day's Ohio State squad since last December, but that hasn't stopped several other programs from trying to flip his commitment.There are two in-state programs specifically that are trying to keep Smith in Florida. According to comments made by On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons, Florida and Florida State are still trying to stay in the mix with the five-star.To that point, Smith has taken visits...

Coach Prime has had a rough go of things in 2023. What started as a red-hot 3-0 start for Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes ended with a six-game losing skid and a 4-8 season. Colorado remained bowl ineligible for the third-straight season, and all the pomp and Coach Prime came into Boulder with has been deflated.Now, Sanders is seeing highly sought-after recruits drop their commitments, while one of the key pieces of his staff in 2023, offensive coordinator Sean Lewis, is reportedly out the door as well.According to ESPN insider Pete Thamel, it sounds like Lewis will be heading back to...

On the outside, it may seem that new Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith is inheriting a bleak quarterback situation in East Lansing.All three Michigan State quarterbacks from this past season — Noah Kim, Katin Houser and Sam Leavitt — have entered the transfer portal.Smith is essentially starting from scratch at the position (though 2024 three-star quarterback Henry Hasselbeck is still committed) but he doesn't seem bothered. At least that was the impression he gave off in his introductory news conference.“I think we are going to run a style of play that the quarterback can have some real, real success,”...

The San Diego Padres are rumored to be putting superstar outfielder Juan Soto on the trade block this winter, and the New York Yankees are believed to have serious interest in acquiring him. Not only does Soto check almost every box that the team has a need for, but it would be a great opportunity for ownership to send a message to the rest of the league that the organization is ready and willing to start acting "like the Yankees" again.Not too long ago, it was a foregone conclusion that the Yankees would not only enter the bidding war for a...

There was speculation that the Washington Wizards were the worst team in the NBA heading into Monday night's matchup with the Detroit Pistons.After a resounding 126-107 win over the Pistons — a win that brought Detroit's losing skid to 14 — it seems clear that it's actually the Pistons who are hands down the worst team in the league.At 2-15 that's hard to argue, but the product on the floor Monday night made the facts even more clear. This is a team that has given up less than 20 games into the 2023 this. This is despite the fact that the...

The Denver City Council will consider again Monday extending the mayor’s emergency declaration over homelessness. In reality, Denver is facing two emergencies – the matter of the unhoused population that’s already here, and the issue of migrants from south of the border that have come flowing into the city. From December 2022 to August 2023, the Denver mayor declared an emergency around the migrant influx. The situation with the migrants is even more urgent now. Migrants who have timed out of the city’s shelter system are living on the streets in tents. Many are families with young children and pregnant mothers.

The Cincinnati Reds might become the next MLB team to find a new broadcast home.On Tuesday, Steve Watkins of the Cincinnati Business Reporter wrote that Bally Sports Ohio, the Diamond Sports Group regional network, may drop the team after fulfilling its contractual obligations for the 2024 season. DSG, as frequently reported throughout the year, is still mired in bankruptcy proceedings going back to when it filed Chapter 11 in March. Though the beleaguered operator had worked out a deal with its NBA teams and hoped to have one in place for the NHL, MLB has done all it could to pull...
