Viewers frustrated with number of commercials on Fox's Indy 500 broadcast Fox's first-ever broadcast of the 109th annual Indy 500 on Sunday wasn't overly well received by viewers watching at home.

"Please never let Fox broadcast the Indy 500 again."

Stewart Mandel unloads on ‘cockamamie’ CFP proposal from Big Ten You’d be forgiven for not keeping up with every report filed recently about upcoming changes to the College Football Playoff. The sport’s postseason has undergone so many alterations that it’s understandable one would start to tune them out. Especially so now, when it seems like every other week a conference commissioner comes up with a Read more...

One year is not a trend, but 25-days off between games, especially through the holidays, could create some rust.

The CFP has changed its seeding and will now punish the top 4 teams in its final ranking with a bye into the QFs. Last year, it was the top 4 highest ranked conf champs with that burden. All 4 teams with a bye lost their first game with only ASU staying within 2 TDs…..

So glad to have been able to see Kevin DeBruyne live with Manchester City. A special player. Maybe we’ll get to see him in Chicago with the Fire next season.

Now this I like. Purdue is DONE with its noncon schedule and already publicly disclosing. There are 360+ D-I teams and the Boilermakers are the first to share who they're playing next season.

Matt Painter's team will be ranked either No. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the preseason.

Harry Kane went down to pitchside to celebrate Bayern winning the Bundesliga—and he a first career trophy—only for a 94th-minute equalizer to be conceded 😳

You can take the boy out of Spurs...

Fox’s Adam Amin apparently moonlights as a nightclub DJ Adam Amin is apparently a NFL broadcaster by day, and a DJ by night. According to a new profile of Amin by Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, the Fox Sports NFL play-by-play announcer has carved out a side gig in Chicago’s nightlife scene.

So Sanders is the second QB picked…by the team that drafted him. He’ll get a shot there though. The competition isn’t overwhelming.

Cubs led Arizona 2-1 at the seventh inning stretch. Then the game went on a bender.
