“So, I think you probably look at Double or Nothing and All Out as tentpole events, and there may be another one,” said Rhodes, who’s an executive vice president for AEW and was fresh off his match against brother, Dustin Rhodes. “We’re not going to do a pay-per-view every month, and I realize that it was $50, and if you ask people to part with their money, you got to make sure that it’s worth it....
In a nod to the scandal over Clinton’s affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Colbert said he didn’t think the former president could “lecture anyone” on what should happen in the Oval Office. The comedian rebuked Clinton shortly after the ex-commander-in-chief lashed out at Trump and backed Biden during a speech on the second day of the Democratic National Convention. “Donald Trump says we’re leading the world, well we are the only major industrial country to have its unemployment rate triple,” Clinton said....
Trade talks around the 28-year-old quarterback on Thursday spoke to an accelerated end to his 49ers tenure. The Broncos, Jets and Browns were interested, according to multiple reports. MORE: Ranking Browns QBs since ‘99 | Cleveland’s worst draft picks But ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday revealed Kaepernick’s preference, and the team appears willing to take the bait. Kaepernick reportedly has expressed interest in playing for the Jets. His agent requested permission to seek a trade last month, and reports as early as November suggested he would not return to the 49ers in 2016....
Too bad he might not get to keep it. It's a tricky situation for Rodriguez, a basketball player at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kan. He wants to use the money he won to pay his tuition, but Southwestern is an NAIA school and their bylaws may prohibit him from receiving the money. According to NAIA rules, athletes cannot use their sports ability for financial gain. “I didn't really think about it at first because I was way too excited,” Rodriguez said....
The Line: North Carolina -1 Ohio State is looking good early, especially on the offensive side. As a team, the Buckeyes are third in the nation in field-goal percentage, shooting 53.7 percent from the field, and just outside of the top-10 in 3-point shooting. On defense, OSU is holding teams to a 37.8-percent clip. The Buckeyes’ one slip-up so far was on the road against Louisville, which possesses one of the best defenses in the nation, where they shot 17-for-56....
Line: Kansas -6.5, Total 129 (check our odds page for current college basketball point spreads and totals ) Offense, defense, rebounding and assists are all facets of the game where Kansas (22-5 SU, 15-11 ATS) has the edge over K-State (13-15 SU, 14-11 ATS). So, every checkmark pretty much falls into the Jayhawks court in this matchup. That leaves the number as the final thing to focus in on. Earlier this year, KU was an 11-point home favorite over Kansas State....
Among the best: North Carolina point guard Marcus Paige Marquette coach Buzz Peterson’s suit is not only far from ordinary, it’s awesome. And so is the peek at Bill Raftery, who is now part of Fox Sports. We also had the mascots clowning around. It's entirely possible they broke fashion rules by going commando, though we'll never know. Xavier coach Chris Mack's daughter provided the just plain cute moment, and she had a side order of “Rise and Fire!...
So it doesn’t matter, really, what happened in secret scrimmages or charity exhibitions or the David v. Goliath games between Division I powers and Division II opponents delighted for the guarantee check and a smidgen of public exposure. There has been judgment regarding the potential of those aspiring to be a part of March Madness 2023, but nothing that registered. Until now. Over the next 4.5 months, there will be plenty....
More narratives to track during Week 5: How will Clemson’s freshman QB Trevor Lawrence fair in his first start?

Each of those games will have serious implications on the College Football Playoff, but perhaps none more than the Big Ten eliminator between the Badgers and Wolverines.

There’s plenty of time to flesh out the final top 25, but there will definitely be movement in the Week 12 CFP rankings after No. 2 LSU beat No. 3 Alabama 46-41 and No. 4 Penn State fell to No. 17 Minnesota 31-26 on Saturday in a pair of 8-0 showdowns. There are three weeks left in the regular season, and 11 Power 5 teams remaining with one loss or fewer....
Only one top-10 team in the most recent set of rankings lost on Saturday. That would be Oklahoma, a team the committee clearly didn’t value in the first two sets of rankings, considering the Sooners’ position at No. 8 overall in each of those weeks. The top seven teams remained the same following their loss, with Notre Dame, Oklahoma State and Wake Forest moving up to fill in the Sooners’ spot....
A week after top-10 teams Ohio State, LSU and Clemson fell, two more teams — No. 3 TCU and No. 4 USC — lost in the Big 12 and Pac-12 championship games, respectively. Those defeats opened the door even wider for chaos to reign amid the final AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll rankings. The biggest question, of course, is whether those polls will match the final top 25 from the College Football Playoff committee....
The Sooners dropped from No. 3 to No. 12 in both polls. Michigan dropped to No. 17 in the AP Poll and No. 16 in the Coaches Poll. In the AP Poll, Washington State entered the top 10 as it stayed undefeated with a win over Oregon. TCU shot up to No. 6 after a win over Big 12 rival West Virginia. Previously unranked teams entering the rankings this week include Michigan State, Central Florida, Stanford, Texas Tech and undefeated Navy....
According to a Monday report from CBS Sports, Notre Dame is currently in negotiations with NBC, seeking a new grant of rights deal that would pay the school $75 million annually. Such a contract would not only keep the Fighting Irish on equal footing with the Big Ten and SEC in terms of annual GOR payouts, but also allow the team to exercise independence in scheduling. How those dealings proceed over the course of the next few weeks will likely have a massive effect on any further realignment....
No longer will champions be determined by polls, bowl coalitions or alliances or the BCS. Nor will the College Football Playoff be available to only four teams in a given season (considered a much-needed improvement by some, and a detriment to the game by others). The Playoff will join the vast majority of the organized sports world by providing more inclusive entry into the college football postseason, tripling the number of current teams from four to 12 and providing four rounds of play as opposed to two....
The biggest game, rankings wise, is the top-10 SEC showdown between No. 2 Georgia and visiting, No. 8 Arkansas. The Bulldogs can make a compelling argument as the best team in the country, but Sam Pittman is leading a renaissance at Arkansas no one expected this early into his tenure. Both have impressive top-10 wins this season (the Bulldogs over No. 3 Clemson and Razorbacks over No. 7 Texas A&M), and the winner will have another after this cross-division meeting....
