FOX released three top-tier college football games on Monday, locking in a trio of fall matchups that will unquestionably shape the 2026 national championship race. The loaded slate includes Oklahoma-Michigan, Michigan-Ohio State and the Big Ten Championship Game. I expect this group of games to feature ranked teams, a CFP semifinalist and a Heisman Trophy contender. The Big Ten has ruled college football in recent years, producing the last three […]

The Big Ten’s reign begins in earnest with three straight national titles from three different programs, while the once-mighty SEC has been boxed out, wiped out and crossed out of each of the last three national championship games. Washington, Notre Dame and Miami have all entered positions of power — otherwise known as "national title runner-up" — while the SEC has spent this stretch looking like Lincoln Riley-era Oklahoma: dangerous […]

We've known for several months who each NFL team will play in the 2026 season. But this week, we'll learn when all 272 games will be played in the upcoming regular season. The NFL will unveil the entirety of the 2026 regular-season schedule on Thursday. However, the league is announcing the dates of several games before then, like marquee matchups in Week 1. So, as you get your calendars out […]

It’s hope season, when everyone’s team could win the Super Bowl. That hope will only grow from here — all the way up until fans face reality in Week 1 of the 2026 season. For now, this is the first phase of best-shape-of-his-life season. NFL players will soon report to minicamp and some have already reported to OTAs. Rookies have, for the most part, completed their rookie minicamps. And so, […]

Watkins Glen International (Watkins Glen, N.Y.) — Shane van Gisbergen appeared to not have the winning strategy Sunday at Watkins Glen International ... until the winning strategy was to have Shane van Gisbergen behind the wheel. Not pitting when most of the field did with 39 laps to go (SVG’s team figured he’d be three laps short on fuel) required him to pit under green and come out about 29 […]

LOS ANGELES — On Sept. 1, 2010, Freddie Freeman saw his name in the Braves lineup, batting sixth, and almost threw up. It was the 20-year-old’s first game as a big-leaguer, and he was sitting at his locker, staring forward, nervous as could be. Bobby Cox, who was in the last of his 29 seasons as a Hall of Fame manager, walked by with a few words to ease the […]

It took a bit of bad luck that Alex Palou couldn’t overcome, but it also took a race-winning drive by Christian Lundgaard for him to capture the victory Saturday on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. A caution flag that came out near the end of a green-flag pit cycle had Palou pitting from the lead and restarting near the rear of the field. He never fully recovered, as he […]

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski always brings the triple-digit heat, but what he did in the opening inning of the team's Friday night matchup against […]

All three National League divisions are chock-full of intrigue. The NL East-leading Braves are one of the surprise stories in MLB as two postseason contenders – the Mets and Phillies – stumbled out the gate. In the NL Central, all five teams are above .500, and it feels like it could be a dogfight through October. In the NL West, it's the Dodgers who rule the roost but don't sleep […]
