just now (193+ words) Following a 4-8 debut as coach at North Carolina, Bill Belichick is making major changes to his coaching staff. Belichick fired both offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer on Friday morning. That means the only coordinator remaining in place is Belichick's son, Steve, who runs the defense. "We want to thank Coach Kitchens and Coach Priefer for their commitment and many contributions to our program and student-athletes. We wish them both nothing but the best in their future endeavors," Belichick said in a statement. Belichick inherited Kitchens, as the former Browns coach had been at UNC since 2023. With the Tar Heels, he had served as tight ends coach and run game coordinator (2023-24), interim coach after Mack Brown's firing (2024) and then offensive coordinator under Belichick this season. Carolina's offense was dreadful this season, as the Tar Heels' 288.8 yards…...

1+ min ago (492+ words) With the Denver Broncos having signed three pending free agents to extensions during the season, the next question is how much cap space they'll have available to further improve the roster in 2026. As things currently stand with the 2026 salary cap situation, the Broncos are projected to have $40.1 million in cap space, assuming a base cap of $295.5 million. There are a few caveats that come with that projected cap space, though. The first is that the Broncos currently have 41 players under contract for 2026. Once they add at least 10 players (likely practice squad players signed to futures contracts), the Broncos will be down to a little less than $30M in cap space. When the Broncos do get to 51 players under contract, and the offseason officially begins, only the top 51 cap hits will count toward the salary cap. However, the Broncos will also need…...

1+ min ago (1024+ words) Luke Dehnicke has lost count. Coming out of Andover High School in the 2024 recruiting class, the then-6-foot-3, 205-pound receiver/cornerback knew the number, and it was "only four," meaning his total offer list to play college football: Minnesota Duluth, Sioux Falls, Colorado School of Mines and St. Thomas. Dehnicke picked UMD, grew to 6-5 and built himself up to 240 pounds. He switched to tight end and as a redshirt freshman last fall became a dangerous downfield threat for the Division II Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) champions. Wanting to fulfill a dream of playing Division I football, he announced he was entering the NCAA transfer portal last week. That's when a gaggle of interested schools quickly added up. "I'm not totally sure the exact number I have," Dehnicke told the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Monday. "I've been talking to…...

3+ min ago (615+ words) Life has a funny way of coming full circle. When Kylie Buttars was 13 years old, she attended BYU's summer volleyball camp. Her coach during that week in the Smith Fieldhouse was a current Cougar setter named Tayler Hifo. As a sophomore, Buttars came to Skyridge volleyball practice to find a new assistant coach: Tayler Hifo. "She showed me the picture of the two of us together at BYU camp," Hifo said. "It was hilarious because she was still taller than me." Hifo became the head coach at Skyridge in 2025 and the relationship between the coach and the star outside hitter played a key role in a special season for the Falcons. It was a pretty special season for Buttars, too: She's the 2025 Daily Herald Girls Volleyball Player of the Year. "I love her ability to score and also off the…...

While speculation continues to swirl about Sellers possibly exploring the transfer portal, Briles struck a confident, if cautious, tone when discussing the Gamecocks' quarterback situation. "I'm probably not 100% in the loop of what's going on with LaNorris," Briles said. But he followed that with something South Carolina fans have desperately needed to hear. Briles added that he is confident Sellers will be back next year, noting that if things "fall into place," the Gamecocks are positioned to "have a good football team."

5+ min ago (432+ words) The Indianapolis Colts made one of the shocking moves in recent sports history when they signed Philip Rivers, following the devastating season-ending Achilles injury to Daniel Jones. The 44-year-old quarterback has not played in the NFL since the 2020 NFL season and was listed as a semi-finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The decision to bring the eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback out of retirement was a polarizing one. While many are excited to see the veteran play quarterback once again, one former player gave some harsh criticism to the Colts for their decision. "I believe this is foul " I believe this is incompetent, and I also believe it is irresponsible," said Super Bowl champion and current ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark, of the Colts" decision to sign Rivers.
