If you're one of the many NFL fans who plead with the TV for teams to stop punting, Thursday night's matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys was right up your alley. The Seahawks and Cowboys apparently opted to give both of their punters the night off, as neither team logged a single punt in a game Dallas eventually won 41-35.But if that's not quite wild enough, the two teams also made some of the wildest NFL history ever seen. Thursday's game became the first in history that had 75 or more points scored without a single punt, as...

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.

There was a point in time when college players being paid was unthinkable. It happened, of course, but it was under the table or in a McDonalds bag. For superstar players, "payment" came in the form of mom receiving a new car or in Reggie Bush's case, a home.That's how things used to be done. It was "wink-wink, nudge nudge," and generally, the NCAA turned a blind eye to how top programs were landing elite players.Things have changed in the NIL era, though. Changed so much, in fact, that Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule believes that it will take a...

Mitchell Robinson has a theory about the color of NBA basketballs: Players don't wash their hands.The New York Knicks center's allegations stemmed from a question about whether the Knicks' orange-heavy tournament court would make it difficult to see the ball. Robinson rejected the premise of the inquiry, saying "I always thought the ball was brown."He and teammate Jalen Brunson agreed that while a basketball may begin its NBA life colored orange, a ball that's broken in becomes brown. Why brown? Robinson had a quick answer.“People here don’t wash their hands," Robinson said. "There’s a few people in this league that...

What began as a rough season for the Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1, 8-0 SEC) has blossomed into a series of big wins and a matchup with the top-ranked and undefeated Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. Back in September, even finishing with only one loss seemed daunting after losing at home to Texas and nearly falling to USF.What changed most notably was quarterback Jalen Milroe, who has drastically raised his level of play, including throwing a last-minute touchdown to beat rival Auburn. He now finds himself as a possible Heisman candidate, something he noted in the moments after the emotional comeback win.
