Ben Roethlisberger is still there — but who steps up when he gets hurt?

Peterson is just one rushing touchdown away from 100 in his career.

For most of 2017, Adrian Peterson looked like a 32-year-old running back whose odometer had creaked over 12,000 career yards. But for two glorious games, he snapped back to peak form to push the Arizona Cardinals to victory.

Washington is betting he can reclaim that glory, if only briefly, after signing the veteran tailback Monday following a string of injuries in training camp and preseason.

The school will announce the decision on Thursday morning.

Ohio State is expected to announce a decision on Urban Meyer’s future in Columbus on Thursday, according to a new report. On Aug. 20, Buckeye Extra reported that the university will meet on Wednesday to discuss the school’s investigation findings, and that Meyer could be facing a suspension instead of a firing:

Two sources connected to the investigation said the likely recommendation is a suspension for Meyer. Drake and... Читать дальше...

Shocking.

Before you read any further I need to preface this extremely silly post by saying that it’s easily the dumbest thing I’ve done on this website and that includes the time I wrote about styles of clam chowder. So fair warning, I am aware how ridiculous this is and did it anyway. Welcome to Mondays!

Anyway, as you may or may not know this year’s Red Sox team is pretty good. Historically good, you could say. But they’re still the Red Sox which means that they still have fans... Читать дальше...

2000-2001 wasn’t the year for Connecticut Women’s Basketball— a program remembered as basically unbeatable before and after that season hit momentary snags because of injuries. But on March 6, 2001, in the Big East Tournament Final against their rival, Notre Dame, they gave us one of the greatest finishes to one of the most eventful games in college basketball history.

Non-power teams often fail to follow up on big breakthrough seasons, as you can see here.

8 U.S. teams and 8 international teams face off in Williamsport.

The top 12- and 13-year-old baseball teams on the planet are in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the 2018 Little League World Series, with 16 teams set to play 32 games over 11 days to determine a champion.

Actually, there will be two champs, with eight United States teams playing in one bracket and eight international teams in another. The U.S. and International bracket winners will face off for the 72nd overall Little League championship. Читать дальше...

Jim Harbaugh was far from the first, and he might not even be the weirdest.

The Duke freshman showed why he’s special during three games in Canada.

The league’s premier rivalry now starts the playoffs in a fight for their lives.

A true perk to owning property in Williamsport.

It’s free to attend the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. But getting into the Little League Classic, a Major League Baseball game set at Bowman Field required either being a part of the Little League World Series, or winning a sweepstakes for any leftover tickets not snatched up by players, coaches, and their families.

So it’s a pain for local fans to get in. Unless you’ve got some scaffolding:

Don’t have seats to the game? Читать дальше...

Here’s how each spot in the rankings should determine your outlook on your team’s season.

Alabama unsurprisingly is No. 1. Here’s the rest of the only poll that “matters” until October.

God bless you, Fiesta Bowl folks for making this happen.

Hello, there is a new glorious bowl name in town, and its replacing the Cactus Bowl, which is paid annually at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. Folks, this is now called the Cheez-It Bowl, and it is absolutely glorious. LOOK AT THIS DAMN CHEEZ-IT DESERT LOGO:

Here’s more from this new amazing partnership from the bowl’s release:

This needs to happen.

In retirement Kobe Bryant has won an Oscar, and made $200M profit in an investment. My general thesis here is that Kobe keeps climbing mountains, so he might as well play in the Big 3 league.

The idea of Kobe in the Big 3 popped up on Sunday when Steven Jackson was asked if Bryant could handle the physicality of the Big 3, and lost it.

A couple will likely get max deals, but there are a number of other intriguing players who could go either way.

SummerSlam had some great moments, and we’re going to tell you all about them.

This just adds to the long and lengthy history of the Sparks-Lynx rivalry.

Plus patience for Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo and more in this week’s Tactically Naive.

Chelsea Gray’s game-winning buzzer beater lifted L.A. to a huge upset win over Minnesota.

Legend!

Truly legendary athletes are never satisfied, regardless of the result and will constantly nitpick their performances. This is exactly what Simone Biles did over the weekend after winning all five gold medals at the U.S. Championships, and becoming the first athlete to win five women’s all-around titles.

“I’d give it a B-plus,” Biles said, speaking to NBC’s Andrea Joyce after walking away with every single title available, “I knew I was capable of [scoring this well], but... Читать дальше...

Miami’s coach has a thing now: sharing wisdom on intake of comfort foods.

While Sunday’s Say Hey, Baseball focused on the amazing playoff races out in the west, it’s understandable if Monday’s edition discusses how fans out east may be feeling a little left out from the fun.

Patrick Mahomes launched a nice touchdown pass, and Josh Allen just might end up as the Bills’ Week 1 starter.

Reigns speared Lesnar and got a clean pin, while Braun Strowman tried to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
