Tuesday night's Brewers-Nationals game marked the 15th installment of one of the greatest modern additions to team professional sports: the win-or-go home MLB wild-card games.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom went on LeBron James' multimedia platform "The Uninterrupted" on Monday and signed a whopper of a bill - the Fair Pay to Play Act - granting student-athletes in his state the ability to earn money from the use of their names, images and likeness.

When North Carolina lined up for a potential go-ahead two-point conversion try with 1:17 left in the fourth quarter, literally the entire season for the No. 1 team in the country was on the line with it.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor will end his 2019 season with 200 strikeouts, a personal milestone that meant a lot to him. 

So much that the Rangers intentionally let a foul pop-up drop along the first base line so Minor, sitting on 199 Ks at the time, could go for it. No. 200 came on the very next pitch — a called third strike that wasn't remotely close to the strike zone.

There were 6 marquee holdouts in the NFL this season and a couple big-time winners, like WR Michael Thomas of the Saints and RB Ezekiel Elliot of the Cowboys. 

Melvin Gordon's holdout was a loss, and a predictable one at that.

Online betting site Brovada has posted odds on who Cleveland's next head coach will be when the Browns play the Patriots in Foxboro in Week 8. 

The Browns have easily been the NFL's most disappointing team through the first three weeks, and they don't have a talent problem.

This past week, 10 players drafted within the last two years started at quarterback for NFL teams. And for one week, at least, it wasn't a total bummer. A couple of these guys look like they can play. Whether they're poised to stick around for decades and form the league's next wave of great QBs? That remains the great debate.

The Ohio State Buckeyes beat Miami of Ohio by 71 points on Saturday, but you won't hear any bickering over running up the score. That's because the Red Hawks left Ohio Stadium with a $1.3 million dollar check in hand. 

It's guaranteed money, and it's part of the culture of college football for Power 5 teams.

In survivor pools, where participants pick one team to win each week but can't pick the same team twice, the general rule of thumb is try to fade the most popular pick and hope that team loses. 

Sometimes, the best risk/reward is to just take the layup.

The Giants are officially moving on from Eli Manning after 15-plus seasons, handing the reins to sixth overall draft pick Daniel Jones. That means, in all likelihood, Manning's career is coming to an end. He's 38. His Giants haven't reached the playoffs since 2016. So now it's time to talk legacy. Many are posing the argument that Eli is not a Hall of Famer.
