The San Francisco 49ers and head coach Kyle Shanahan officially named former Jets head coach Robert Saleh as their new defensive coordinator. Saleh now returns to the job he held before the Jets hired him as their head coach.

Forget the Kentucky Derby, Jack Sawyer's 83-yard fumble return for Ohio State is the most exciting 2 minutes in sports #CFBPlayoff

Jack Sawyer on his old Ohio State roommate, sacks and strips Quinn Ewers on the huge 4th down play and scores to give the Buckeyes a two TD lede. What a clutch play by Sawyer. Wow.

“I want to be in an environment where I have the resources to win a national championship,” Brian Kelly said in April 2022 after leaving Notre Dame for LSU.

Notre Dame will play for a national championship in 11 days. LSU has not made the CFP since Kelly took over.

Sean O'Connell asks,

What is the biggest threat to @utahfootball.bsky.social as they reload for a 2025 campaign with new offense?

Please comment with your answer

1) Big CFB brands poaching
2) Surprise BYU resurgence
3) Internal turmoil
4) Big 12 risers like ASU, Colorado

Also, fwiw, the 12-team format is the best system FBS has ever had by a wide margin and blowouts in these games doesn’t change that.

How long is it going to take before everyone realizes FCS has the best playoff system?

What you do before Selection Sunday determines whether you deserve to be in the bracket or not.

What happens after is not some sort of referendum on that decision.

I don't know why people overreact to postseason blowouts every single year like this.

The NBA set up a champagne room for the Bucks to celebrate their NBA Cup championship.

They left it untouched to focus on the rest of the season.

Sounds like he & his fellow superstars should've played harder in the traditional East v West 48 min games. I'm not a huge fan either, but the NBA has to try something new cuz the old format didn't get *any* buy in from KD & other stars
I asked Kevin Durant what he thought about the new format for the NBA All-Star Game: “I hate it. Absolutely hate it. Terrible….We should just go back to East-West.”

I've been a big fan of Hartenstein the last few years. Exactly what you want & need out of a role player big man
Dove deep on Isaiah Hartenstein's impact on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Think people haven't quite recognized yet how good he is. He's hovering right around that top-10 center in the NBA status at this point. Clearly worth every penny of his contract
