Megyn Kelly did not hold back in her criticisms against now-former MSNBC Tiffany Cross after news broke on Friday her contract was not renewed and she had been abruptly let go by the network. According to Variety, Cross was fired from the network because "executives at the network growing concerned about the anchor’s willingness to address statements made by cable-news hosts on other networks and indulging in commentary executives felt did not meet the standards of MSNBC or NBC News." Cross frequently sparred with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who would often call her out for racially charged statements against...

Quite a bit has changed in the NFL since our last mock draft from three weeks ago. Free agency kickstarted a whirlwind of movement. (Tom Brady is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!) Compensatory picks were announced. Two first-round picks were traded. And, oh yeah, the entire draft process was altered dramatically with the eliminations of remaining pro days, top-30 visits and other in-person meetings between prospects and clubs because of the coronavirus outbreak. So, yes, we have some changes.

SAN ANTONIO – Bryce Young pauses a bit when the question comes. The five-star QB and No. 3 overall prospect in the Top247 is already a polished interview. Unfailingly courteous – he shook the hands of everyone in the room – and quick-witted, Young answers typical questions with ease. Yet a simple inquiry, at least on the surface, pauses his natural question-and-answer flow. How would you define your standard? “Off the field I try my best to push myself to be perfect,” Young told 247Sports. “On the football field, for me, it’s kind of about letting go. I’ve played a...

Heading into the Auburn game, we talked about Tua Tagovailoa’s record-breaking season. Against The Citadel, Tagovailoa had set Alabama’s single-season passing touchdown record (31). Against Auburn, he set some new records. Tagovailoa went 25-32 (78.1%) for 324 yards and 5 touchdowns, and he added another 26 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground. Those 5 passing touchdowns tied a school record - Gary Hollingsworth threw 5 touchdowns against Ole Miss in 1989. Tagovailoa’s 6 total touchdowns set a school record for most touchdowns in a single game - Hollingsworth, Shaun Alexander vs. BYU 1998, Santonio Beard vs. Ole Miss in...

Tua Tagovailoa and the Crimson Tide offense remain the dominant story of the first half of the 2018 college football season. That continued for No. 1 Alabama in a 65-31 victory at Arkansas on Saturday, which capped a 6-0 first half of the season for the defending national champions. Tagovailoa bolstered his Heisman Trophy campaign by finishing 10 of 13 passing for 334 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. He didn't take a fourth-quarter snap for the sixth time this season.His first-half stats this season are amazing enough as it is. The best chapters are yet to come, too: Alabama...

The analyst believes the Alabama quarterback will live up to the hype. Trent Dilfer is ready to make his 2018 Heisman Trophy pick. The former NFL quarterback-turned analyst has seen enough from Alabama freshman Tua Tagovailoa to believe that he’ll win college football’s most-prestigious award next season. Dilfer made his pick during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday. “I think he’ll win the Heisman next year,” Dilfer said, per 247Sports’ Brad Crawford. “Everyone’s going to say, ‘That’s hyperbole. Dilfer raving about an Elite 11 kid.’ I got a bunch of Elite 11 kids. Jake Fromm was an...
