This week, former football star, accused murderer, and convicted armed robber OJ Simpson died of cancer. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed condolences saying "our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. In many ways, he led a tragic life. On the one hand, there were the glories of his achievements on the football field and in the movies he starred in. On the other, there was the tragic murder of his wife Nicole. He was left as a single father of his two young children after a jury found him not guilty of murdering their mother."...

Megyn Kelly went after a sports columnist whom she referred to as a “national disgrace” during her SiriusXM show on Monday over the writer’s support for a women’s college basketball coach who came out in support of biological men playing in the league. Kelly singled out Nancy Armour after the columnist called South Carolina Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley a “goddamn national treasure” for supporting transgender basketball players. “If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play,” Staley said in a pause-filled response to a question about whether she...

South Carolina wins title and goes to a 38-0 record. Iowa ends with 34-5 record with Caitlin Clark having the NCAA record for scoring.

Spring is a wonderful time of year. Despite T.S. Eliot’s line that “April is the cruelest month,” spring is a time of renewal, a good time to remind ourselves to open up to new facets of life. One of the best things about spring, to me, is the opening of the baseball season. I am a fervent baseball fan. To me, there is a good deal of metaphysics in baseball. You start out at a place called home, then you go on a little journey like the Prodigal Son, the aim being to return home. The ones who go home...

Remember the WNBA? The women’s basketball league the NBA started to draw more women into watching basketball? In it’s inaugural season, the WNBA finals drew 2.85 million viewers, when the Houston Comets won the first of their four championships. It’s never reached those heights again, and the Comets folded in 2008. There was a mild uptick to 728,000 viewers last year. So you’d think the league would welcome an exciting, highly skilled new breakout player. You’d be wrong. - “For almost three decades the WNBA has been a laughing stock and disgrace of a professional sports league that only survives...

As sports stadiums built in the 1990s show their age, many professional sports teams are looking for new facilities — and public money to pay for them. “We are just in the heating up phase of the next stadium construction wave,” said J.C. Bradbury, a Kennesaw State University economics professor who has researched the issue. “That’s part of the reason why you’re seeing a lot more stadiums happen.” It isn’t just the Washington Commanders, who are obligated to play at FedEx Field in Landover until 2027 but are looking for a new home somewhere in Maryland, Virginia or Washington, D.C....

Flags at half staff... major announcement imminent... any guesses on what's going on? I believe the King may have passed.

Long Beach State’s journey to an NCAA Tournament bid truly puts the madness in March. The 49ers won the Big West Conference championship game over UC Davis on Saturday, 74-70, to go dancing this March. However, it was an odd tournament berth considering head coach Dan Monson was fired just five days prior. Long Beach State made the decision to move on from Monson, but opted for him to remain in place until the end of the season. The 49ers, at 18-14, went into the Big West Conference Tournament with a five-game losing streak, so the thought was they wouldn’t...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Some of the people who attended the near-record cold Kansas City Chiefs playoff game in January had to undergo amputations after suffering frostbite, a Missouri hospital said Friday.Research Medical Center didn't provide exact numbers but said in a statement that it treated dozens of people who had experienced frostbite during an 11-day cold snap in January. Twelve of those people — including some who were at the Jan. 13 game — had to undergo amputations involving mostly fingers and toes. And the hospital said more surgeries are expected over the next two to four weeks...

A minor gaffe by President Joe Biden during Thursday’s State of the Union address had Pat McAfee thinking one of college football’s top coaches suddenly died. While Biden gave his address, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) yelled at Biden to say the name of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old woman who was killed on the University of Georgia’s campus in February. Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan immigrant who entered the country illegally in 2022, was arrested and charged with the killing. Greene, along with other members of the Republican Party, blame her death on Biden’s U.S. border policies. In response, Biden...

History was made. Enough said.

During a Feb. 9 home game, every member of the Ragin’ Cajuns softball team stood to honor their country as the national anthem was played. Most of Cal’s players also stood to honor their country, but six of them took a knee. The action didn’t go over so well in the South. (Snip) Eventually, the shouting became so widespread that most of the verbal grief the Cal ladies were receiving was could not be made out.But the booing was heard loud and clear. It appeared as if all or most of those in attendance eventually realized what was happening and...

As if NASCAR didn't already have major issues, this article comes out that NASCAR and the France Family are at an impasse with the Owners and Drivers of the Sport to the point the owners have hired a top Anti-Trust Lawyer to advise them. Since Dale Earnhardt Sr. died, my interest in NASCAR has steadily faded, however, I will be watching later today as the weather has cleared and the race should start on time. You had to think sooner or later that the iron fist rule of the France Family over NASCAR would be challenged, and it appears that...

VIDEOThe liberals smugly thought they had it all figured out. Get a deranged judge and a TDS prosecutor who campaigned primarily on Trump hate in New York to find Donald Trump guilty on an absurd charge that no one else in history had been charged with and for which there were NO victims. Of course, this totally bogus case was sure to be tossed on appeal but the whole point was that during the appeals process that could last for many months or over a year, Trump would have to come up with the over $350 million penalty and prohibited...

Caitlin Clark had no specific plan for how she hoped to break the NCAA women's basketball scoring record Thursday. But after doing so while also setting the Iowa Hawkeyes' single-game scoring record, Clark had to grin. "You all knew I was going to shoot a logo 3 for the record," said Clark, who now has 3,569 career points, 49 of them coming Thursday. And indeed, every aspect of the night seemed storybook perfect for the senior star. (Snip) She was far from done, though. Clark went 8-of-10 from the field -- 5-of-7 from 3-point range -- in the first quarter,...

Accused double murderer OJ Simpson was diagnosed with prostate cancer. “According to sources, Simpson, 76, who previously lived in South Florida, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy in Las Vegas.” Local 10 News reported. “Simpson has been reportedly telling his friends and family that he’s been hearing rumors that he’s in hospice care, but announced on X Friday that that is not the case.” the outlet said. OJ Simpson denied he was receiving hospice care in a video posted to X. "Hospice? Hospice? Hahaha!” OJ said in the video. “I’m not in any hospice but I...

I have a casual interest in AI, but most of my tests, which are NOT designed to trip it up, end in failure. Right now, it is way too unreliable for too many things to be a very useful tool except maybe in computer programming and IT support. Here I ask ChatGPT 3.5 (NOT the newest version) a simple question about the NFL. Dr. Sivana: Could you describe the history of the field goal in the NFL? ChatGPT: Certainly! The field goal has been an integral part of American football since its inception, including in the NFL. Here's a brief...

The SEC and Big Ten delivered a coded, read-between-the-lines message to college athletics in a 259-word release on Friday: We got this. Essentially, the two most powerful conferences on the planet told everyone else to step aside. They're going to figure out the future of college athletics themselves. They're done waiting for Congressional intervention or NCAA action. The future of college athletics will be at least influenced -- but probably dictated -- by the SEC and Big Ten. They have most of the money, talent, recruiting, facilities and brands at their disposal. (Snip) In essence, the two leagues are aiming...

Basketball legend Michael Jordan won six NBA championships during his prolific sporting career – and a set of the six sneakers he worewhen clinching those titles has sold for a record-breaking $8 million at auction. Friday’s winning bid for “The Dynasty Collection” reached $8,032,800, setting a new global auction record for game-worn sneakers, according to auction house Sotheby’s.

Amid all of the online squabbling over whether the relationship between singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is getting too much attention from the media and from NFL broadcasters, I held my tongue. Whenever I felt the need to speak up or to voice an opinion on the matter, I looked at the silicone wristband I wear to remind me of whose opinion really matters. No, my wristband doesn’t say WWJD, as it does for most Christians. I look to a higher power. WWLCD: What would Liz Cheney do? And finally, at long last, the...
