“This is an anomaly and something that is the first of its kind. There is absolutely nothing to compare this to.”

Inside Bill Belichick's 'first of its kind' escape hatch in UNC contract:

Bill Belichick and #UNC are 0-3 vs. Power Four opponents, having been outscored 120-33.

On to Cal? More like on to basketball season.

That and more in Week 6's Flop 10:

There's some interesting stuff in this #NIL SAFE Act. Here's a big one:

Don't like where you got drafted? Go back to college.

Sam Pittman is cooked. So who will be next for #GoHogs #WPS?

An early look at 6 potential candidates:

The team that was easy to overanalyze and criticize in 2024 is back and better than ever in 2025.

This #iufb team is more complete and dangerous than last year’s group, and it’s not sneaking up on anyone.

"While Dabo Swinney shamelessly plays the victim card, Clemson fans have every right to be fuming mad. Swinney's pathetic rant became the appetizer to another lousy performance."

Some 🔥 from Blake Toppmeyer:

#iufb was the biggest riser in @usatodaysports.usatoday.com's 1-136 re-rank.

A 53-point beatdown of a top-10 team will do that.

Latest Coaches Confidential via @kyleneddenriep.bsky.social:

How prevalent is recruiting/undue influence in high school football?

"Rampant."

"It’s sick."

"It's very discouraging especially for those committed to doing things the right way."

#iubb's offense will be completely opposite under Darian DeVries than Mike Woodson. That's be design.

@zachosterman.bsky.social explains why:

Sophie Cunningham on DeWanna Bonner's Fever exit: 'Be professional about it. Send a text to your teammates' Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said she didn't have an issue with fans booing DeWanna Bonner, but she did have an issue with how Bonner left Indiana.

Sophie Cunningham said she didn't have an issue with fans booing DeWanna Bonner, but she did have an issue with how Bonner left #Fever.

Fever are four games over .500 for first time in 10 years — and still have room to improve The Fever are 7-2 in their past nine games and with each win, they are putting pressure on teams ahead of them in the WNBA standings.

This stat really puts in perspective how far the #Fever have come:

Indiana is 4 games over .500 for the first time in TEN years!

And there's room for more:

NBA power rankings: Eastern Conference reset after injuries, free agency. Where do Pacers stand? Injuries to Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard shifted the Earth in the Eastern Conference. Here's how it looks after free agency.

After injuries, trades and free agency moves, the East is wide open. Where does that leave the reigning Eastern Conference champion #Pacers?

@dustindopirak.bsky.social resets the East power rankings:

Indy's flurry of MLS activity suddenly went quiet. What's going on? Mid-2024, Indianapolis was abuzz with headline after headline about an MLS pursuit. Then, things went very quiet. Here's what's been happening.

15 months after the #MLS hubbub began, Indy remains just about where it started: hopeful but lacking the specifics or the actual commitments needed to move forward.

Fever's second half to-do list: Prioritize Caitlin Clark's health, find consistency, play fast The Fever are halfway through the 2025 season, and it hasn’t gone exactly as they’d hoped. But there's still a lot of time for them to improve.

With the All-Star break in the rearview mirror, the mad dash to the #WNBA playoffs begins.

Here's a to-do list for #FeverRising in the second half of the season:

Injuries, inconsistencies and roster moves: Fever hope for smoother path after 'roller coaster' first half Caitlin Clark has missed 10 games this season with injury, and the Fever have rarely had a full roster to pick from.

Their ⭐ has missed nearly half the games.

1 of their marquee signings lasted just 9 games.

There have been more bumps & bruises along the way.

Safe to say first half of season didn't go as #Fever hoped.

A Furphy leap, 3rd PG and final roster spot: What we learned about Pacers in Summer League Despite a Summer League roster with no first-round picks, there were a few developments that could affect end of this year's roster and Pacers' future

Johnny Furphy can fly.
RayJ Dennis can handle the point.
Kam Jones can grow into role.
Quenton Jackson can be relied on.
Who gets last two-way deal?

@dustindopirak.bsky.social on what we learned from #Pacers Summer League:

Ranking Pacers' most important players for 2025-26 with Tyrese Haliburton out, Myles Turner gone Tyrese Haliburton will miss the 2025-26 season and Myles Turner left for the Bucks. We rank the Pacers' most important players for next season.

Tyrese Haliburton is out. Myles Turner is gone.

So, who are the most important #Pacers for the 2025-26 season?

@dustindopirak.bsky.social ranks them:

Teary-eyed Caitlin Clark suffers 4th injury in 3 months. Fever have learned to play without her, may have to again Caitlin Clark left Indiana's win against Connecticut late in the fourth with what looked to be her fourth muscle injury of the season.

Caitlin Clark had never been injured before this season.

Now, she's suffered four injuries in the past three months.

'It’s really hard not to like Taelon Peter.' NBA draft's biggest surprise has purpose bigger than basketball The Indiana Pacers drafted Taelon Peter with the 54th pick in the 2025 NBA draft. One former coach called him the "one of the greatest humans."

"It’s really hard not to like Taelon Peter."

NBA draft's biggest surprise has purpose bigger than basketball.

Great profile on #Pacers' rookie:

www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Aaron Nesmith extension is a no-brainer. Bennedict Mathurin's isn't as clear cut. Pacers won't rush either Bennedict Mathurin is eligible for a contract extension on his rookie scale deal and Aaron Nesmith will be extension eligible in October.

Aaron Nesmith and Bennedict Mathurin are extension-eligible this summer.

One is a no-brainer. The other is a head-scratcher.

@dustindopirak.bsky.social on the #Pacers not being in a rush on either decision:

Pacers processing loss of Tyrese Haliburton for 2025-26: 'I'm hopeful that people write us off' Kevin Pritchard believes the Pacers would have won the NBA title if Tyrese Haliburton hadn't torn his Achilles in Game 7.

"In my mind, no one can tell me that we weren't going to win a championship if Ty stays healthy."

Pacers to bring back former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to compete for post minutes Pacers president Kevin Pritchard said the team will bring back James Wiseman to compete for post minutes next season.

#Pacers to bring back former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to help fill Myles Turner-sized hole in the frontcourt:

Caitlin Clark the 9th-best guard in WNBA? That's what her peers think in All-Star player vote Caitlin Clark has missed seven games. If she had played enough games to qualify, she would rank 11th in the WNBA in scoring and second in assists.

Caitlin Clark won #WNBA All-Star fan vote with 1.3 million votes.

As for her peers? They ranked her 9th... among guards.

But if you think that's bad, WNBA players must really dislike Kelsey Plum:
