just now (179+ words) Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer had a conversation with George Pickens about the wide receiver's pointed social-media attack on Prime Video's Richard Sherman. The former NFL cornerback questioned Pickens' effort during Thursday night's loss to the Lions, calling Pickens "uninterested" and "disengaged." Pickens caught five passes for 37 yards in the loss to the Lions. He responded to Sherman in a since-deleted social media post on Friday, writing, "And it's funny cause I thought former players would know that such as p---y ass Richard Sherman, WHO BTW AINT SHH WITHOUT THE LEGION OF BOOM." "I talk to George about a lot of things. I'll keep that between George and I," Schottenheimer said. "I love watching the guy play football. I'll just kind of leave it at that. I think the guy has more fun playing football than most people. I think when…...

2+ min ago (357+ words) Back in January, Michigan defensive coordinator Wink Martindale was a candidate for two NFL jobs and ended up interviewing with the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts for their vacant defensive coordinator positions. As it turned out, those two organizations went in different directions and Martindale stayed on with the Wolverines for a second season in 2025. During the regular season, Martindale's unit finished 21st in college football in terms of total yards per game allowed, 60th in third down stop percentage, 16th in scoring defense, 67th in redzone defense, were 13th against the run, were 44th in pass efficiency defense and were tied for 39th in team sacks. While it certainly wasn't a bad year for the Wolverine defense as a whole, they weren't a dominant defense as compared to some of the recent vintage Michigan teams that won Big Ten championships from 2021 to 2023. On Monday during head…...

Starck, a sophomore, stepped away from the team earlier this season and was a key contributor on the national championship-winning team last year. She was named Big Ten and AVCA Freshman of the Year following last season's impressive campaign.

But Campbell didn't waste a second winning them over. He scored major points right away with an introductory speech that paid respect to his predecessor, James Franklin, and Smith, the man he edged out for the job. "For Coach (James) Franklin and what he built here at Penn State, I have the utmost respect for him," Campbell said on December 8 during his introductory speech. Campbell inked an eight-year deal that runs through 2033, worth a total of $70.5 million. He will start at $8 million in year one, with his salary bumping up by $250k in 2027, 2028, 2029, and again in 2031. As Penn State puts such a hefty amount at stake, the expectations from Campbell are enormous. Notably, Franklin…...

They have responded by taking eight of nine, including a home-and-home sweep of UMass Lowell to close out the first half of the season and move up the league standings. The Eagles sit a point behind UConn for first place, but with a game in hand. "We've done it in a lot of different ways, and I think that's the encouraging part," said coach Greg Brown. "It hasn't been one line carrying us. It's been contributions from a lot of people. Some night's the power play is on and helps us win, and some nights it's been the penalty kill, or just five on five play." After…...
