St. Petersburg, Fla. — Alex Palou thinks he could follow his eight-win 2025 with an eight-win 2026. Kind of. "Yes, it's possible," Palou told me Thursday prior to the INDYCAR opener this weekend in St. Petersburg. "It's very hard, very low chances. But it's possible. "It's possible to win 17 races.

The smiles and sheepish grins began spreading wider and wider around the 9:13 mark of the second half, following back-to-back eye-popping buckets from Michigan center Aday Mara, the second of which extended the Wolverines’ lead to 13 points. He followed his skyscraping alley-oop dunk with a remarkable offensive rebound-turned-twisting-reverse layup that drew a foul and produced a traditional three-point play.

For weeks, the prevailing belief across men's college basketball has been simple: A trio of No. 1 seeds are essentially spoken for. Duke, Michigan and Arizona have looked like clear-cut top seeds.

INDIANAPOLIS — Who is the best player in the 2026 NFL Draft? Well, there's one way to find that answer: ask the prospects who was the best player they faced in college. I did just that in the latest version of my NFL Combine Survey, asking 42 prospects who were invited to the combine who was the best player they went up against in their college days. It's a fun […]

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine begins this week, which means everybody's favorite college football players from this past season will have a massive platform to showcase themselves to general managers, coaches and scouts. It's a huge deal to be invited, and it's a great opportunity to prove yourself one way or another — through workouts, interviews and press conferences. There have been plenty of examples of how important these four […]
