Saban’s getting lots of money, but the years on his extension with the Tide are the most notable thing.

The battle for the yellow jersey is pretty much over, but there’s about to be a brawl for the last two podium spots at the 2018 Tour de France.

Start your weekend strong with great deals from some of the top sports retailers.

Taylor Lewan’s massive extension is just more proof of how stacked ‘14 was.

Dad LeBron continues to be the best LeBron.

LeBron James has had a fairly important summer. Most notably, he signed that four-year, $154 million contract with the Los Angeles freaking Lakers. He’s also launching a YouTube original series, an unscripted show on HBO, he’ll star in an animated film this fall, and he is spending all of his free time following his kids around their various basketball tournaments.

But LeBron has also been wearing this dang thing around his waist all summer:

Jerry Jones says it’s problematic that Donald Trump, who he involved, is involved in the anthem conversation.

The Nationals are just .500 and staring up at two teams in the division. They should trust the nerds, though.

It’s Bronny James’ world and we’re all just living in it.

Bronny James mania has officially arrived. With his famous father in the stands, LeBron James’ oldest son spent the weekend playing in front of massive crowds with his grassroots team in Las Vegas. Even though he’s only entering eighth grade, it’s clear Bronny is already a certified basketball celebrity.

The scene at a game on Thursday night became so chaotic that it had to be canceled. In a small high school gym that was over capacity... Читать дальше...

It’s LIT!

Last year, NBA Live took a step in an awesome direction by putting the WNBA roster in the game. Thanks to NBA Live 18, you were finally able to pick up a game and play as Maya Moore, Brittney Griner, and Diana Taurasi to name a few. While this was a great addition to the game, this left a few things to be desired as well. For example, there wasn’t a WNBA dynasty mode so the players were only restricted to a “Play Now” setting.

The other missing piece was... Читать дальше...

Some general guidelines are below, but let’s hear it in the comments as well.

Jake Fromm was one play away from a national title as a freshman, and he’ll likely have more on his plate now.

Let’s compare preseason predictions to actual results.

College football is a really hard sport to predict. On top of that, if you end up overrating a team, fans of its rival will never let you hear the end of it. And over time, fans and media come to agree that certain programs are just always overrated (and/or underrated).

You know, like how every time Texas or Michigan or Notre Dame is ranked highly, everyone complains?

We know that the media tends to miss on its conference champ predictions. Читать дальше...

Aaron Donald, Khalil Mack, and Julio Jones are a few of the players angling for new contracts this summer.

A bird in the hand or a bag in the bush?

The Houston Rockets still haven’t resolved their future with or without Clint Capela. Given that the Rockets have matching rights given Capela’s status as a restricted free agent, playing the long game is neither abnormal or particularly risky. There’s no way Houston can lose Capela to another NBA team this summer without making a conscious decision to let him go. (Capela could pull a Josh Childress and sign overseas, but that’d be incredibly shocking... Читать дальше...

The legendary Canes might be the right pick, but they aren’t the sole contender for the title.

Carson Wentz took the field for his first 11-on-11 drills since suffering a torn ACL and MCL in December 2017. We discuss his return and more in Friday’s Rise ‘n Grind.

Money and performance will make these players hard to move

With the MLB trade deadline approaching, several players will change teams. But what about the ones who are the hardest to trade?

The idea of an untradeable player is a bit of an abstract thought anyway. All it takes is two teams to make a deal. A decade ago, Vernon Wells was immovable and then the Blue Jays were able to trade him to the Angels.

Just this last offseason, Matt Kemp had two years and $43 million remaining on his mega-contract... Читать дальше...

As we hit the All-Star Game break, let’s digest what we’re witnessing.

Dabo Swinney’s Tigers are the clear class of the ACC, again.

Bill C’s annual preview series of every FBS team in college football continues. Catch up here!

Despite the tradition, Howard’s Rock, the Death Valley moniker, heavy attendance, a brilliant recruiting base (two and a half hours from both Atlanta and Charlotte), and that lovely shade of orange, Clemson was long either the prototype underachiever or the prototype for delusions of grandeur.

Large crowds and ambition... Читать дальше...

The St. Louis Cardinals will try to get their season on track with a win over the Chicago Cubs in their series opener on Friday, with the sportsbooks making them small chalk.

Plus the Orioles reaching new lows, Chase Utley says goodbye to Philadelphia, and anything else you missed in baseball this week.

The last mountain stage of the 2018 Tour de France is going to be a big mess of fun, no matter the outcome.

Yankees say no surgery is recommended for the All-Star outfielder.

New York Yankees All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge will miss at least three weeks after suffering a chip fracture in his right wrist on Thursday night.

Judge was hit by a pitch in the first inning of New York’s 7-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. He remained in the game until the fifth, when he was removed and taken for an MRI.

Test results showed a fracture of the ulnar styloid bone in his right wrist... Читать дальше...

Hamels has been connected to multiple teams but Chicago are the winners.

The Browns quarterbacks seem to be getting along just fine.

Quarterback battles in training camp can be an awkward thing, but Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield have seemingly approached their competition with the Cleveland Browns with perfect attitudes.

So much so, that they reportedly have an RV at training camp in Cleveland that’s serving as a quarterback-only “top secret clubhouse.”

Browns quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield have acquired an RV and parked it here... Читать дальше...
