1+ min ago (297+ words) Reports started coming out late last night, but it is now official: Lane Kiffin will be the 35th head coach of the LSU Tigers. Kiffin took to social media to make the announcement on Sunday afternoon after speaking with his team. He also announced, despite both his and the team's wishes, that he will not be coaching the Rebels through their College Football Playoff push. "I was hoping to complete a historic six-season run with this year's team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs, capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to finish strong, and investing everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program in any areas of concern." It was apparently Keith Carter's decision to just move on. The team has also reportedly skipped the coaching search and will name defensive coordinator…...

Shedeur Sanders is making his second career start for the Cleveland Browns Sunday, and his first at home. The Browns currently trail the San Francisco 49ers 17-8 in the fourth quarter on a dreary Ohio afternoon. Sanders has delivered one of his team's only highlights so far, which drew the attention of King James watching at home. With the Browns trailing 7-0 and less than a minute to play in the first half, Sanders faced a 2nd-and-9 from the 49ers 34-yard line. After taking the shotgun snap, the first-year signal caller calmly stepped up and delivered a strike down the left side to his fellow rookie, tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Fannin hauled in the pass with no…...

The Buffalo Bills are looking to get back on track when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. However, Josh Allen won"t be throwing to two key targets. Both tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) have been ruled out, via Jay Skurksi of the Buffalo News. On the flip side, wide receiver Keon Coleman has made his return to the gameday roster. Coleman was initially a healthy inactive in Week 11 after missing a team meeting. Then, the Bills decided to keep him out of their Week 12 matchup as well. Perhaps two weeks on the sidelines has gotten the message across to Coleman. He"ll need to step up mightily with Kincaid and Palmer on the sidelines. Palmer…...

On a deep shot from Matthew Stafford, Nacua elevated and snatched the ball out of the air with one hand, making the grab over the cornerback Mike Jackson, who also got a hand on the pass. Nacua somehow grabbed it backhanded, bringing it into his body as he went to the ground and completing the catch. It was one of the best catches you will ever see, especially when it comes to the one-handed variety. Adam Amin and Drew Brees couldn't believe Nacua made the catch while watching from the booth, reacting the way every other fan did. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that it was raining in Charlotte. The freeze-frame shot…...

Originally picked by the Philadelphia 76ers, then traded to the New Jersey Nets on draft night, Van Horn stood 610" but had the shooting touch of a guard. He didnt necessarily have the athleticism, but Van Horn possessed the smarts to break defenses " just like Bird. KVH was flattered by such comparisons, but he didnt necessarily agree with them. He could shoot and move like Bird, but Van Horn himself knew he wasnt a playmaker like the'Celtics'legend.

"Any time a player comes in the league, they want to compare "em to somebody,Van Horn'said'in 1997, via the Los…...

14+ min ago (548+ words) The end of the college football season is all about who is in the playoff picture and who has qualified for a bowl game. A secondary aspect of the end of the season is the coaching carousel. Movement happens all over college football as coaches look for the next opportunity to advance their careers. Amidst all the shuffle, Lane Kiffin decided to leave Ole Miss, stay in the conference, and become the head coach at LSU. While it is rare for coaches to stay in conference, Kiffin's situation is even more unique because the Rebels are bound for the College Football Playoff. Typically, when a coach takes another job, they leave their current team behind. Kiffin, though, has led Ole Miss to the 2025 College Football Playoff, and wanted to have his cake and eat it too. The new LSU head…...
