    Jimmy Butler Becomes Record-Tying Eighth Player To Hit 50-Point Mark This Season
    The Bulls only needed one of their “Three Alphas” to dump the Hornets on Monday night. With Rajon Rondo benched and Dwyane Wade sitting due to swelling in his knee, Jimmy Butler erupted for a season-high 52 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in a 118-111 home victory. Chicago’s two-time All-Star hit 15-24 from the field, 1-4 from deep and 21-22 from the free throw line, falling just one point shy of his career high of 53 points. ..

  • AP Analysis: For Kubiak, health more important than coaching (Jan 2, 2017)

    AP Analysis: For Kubiak, health more important than coaching (Jan 2, 2017)
    DENVER (AP) By leaving on his own terms, Gary Kubiak made a choice few coaches do. Health and life are more important than football, he decided, and this 100-hour-a-week coaching business he’s been in for decades was no longer a good fit. This was no easy call for the football lifer, who first rolled into Denver 34 years ago in his wife’s Buick, a backup quarterback and total afterthought during a summer that brought John Elway to town, too. Wearing jeans and an untucked button-down shirt –..

  • Joe Mixon's actions, and how we've viewed them, cast shadow over Sugar Bowl

    Joe Mixon's actions, and how we've viewed them, cast shadow over Sugar Bowl
    NEW ORLEANS — There is a massive new video board in either end zone of the Superdome, each of them 330 feet long by 35 feet tall. Near the end of the second quarter of Monday night’s Sugar Bowl, Oklahoma scored its second touchdown of the night on a three-yard run. Soon thereafter, those video boards showed the player who’d scored said touchdown waving his arms and facing Auburn’s sideline as if to taunt—or encourage—the opposing crowd. Normal, you think. It’s ..

  • USC's epic, emotional Rose Bowl win over Penn State is why bowls matter

    USC's epic, emotional Rose Bowl win over Penn State is why bowls matter
    PASADENA, Calif. — Monday’s Rose Bowl was not a College Football Playoff game. It didn’t feature the highest-ranked teams in the Pac-12 or the Big Ten. It also didn’t get constant TV promotion during the other 30-plus bowl games. But if you think USC’s 52-49 victory over Penn State wasn’t meaningful, you weren’t paying attention to the riveting four-hour-and-12 minute commercial for how fun and engrossing college football can be. If you weren’t tuned in, you really should’ve seen Trojan coaches..

    Steve Sarkisian had important role behind the scenes for Alabama this season
    The pressure is on for Steve Sarkisian as he slides into Alabama's offensive coordinator position earlier than expected.

Alabama announced Monday that Kiffin was leaving the program to focus on his new role as Florida Atlantic head coach.  It's a stunning development especially considering ..
