(AP) — Deion Sanders is taking over as head coach at Colorado, bringing his charisma and larger-than-life persona to a beleaguered Pac-12 program that’s plunged to the bottom of college football. The deal was announced Saturday night by CU athletic director Rick George. The Pro Football Hall of Famer has been at Jackson State, a historically Black college that plays in the NCAA’s second tier of Division I, since 2020. Sanders has guided the Tigers to consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference titles. The Tigers beat Southern in the SWAC championship game Saturday in Jackson, Mississippi, and a few hours later Colorado announced he was coming to Boulder. Sanders told his team after the game he had accepted another job, but intended to coach Jackson State (12-0) in the Celebration Bowl for historically Black colleges on Dec. 17 … [Read more...] about Colorado hires Deion Sanders to turn around football program

(AP) — The reception area of a metro Atlanta office suite is a veritable museum of Herschel Walker’s football success for the University of Georgia Bulldogs and the NFL. The office is part of the Atlanta Braves' real estate development in the Major League Baseball franchise's new suburban home. This headquarters for Georgia’s Republican U.S. Senate nominee isn’t officially about athletics, of course. Yet the location and décor help show much professional sports and college loyalties explain political divides in this battleground state, where Walker is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in a Tuesday runoff. “Sports are a cultural identifier, and in the South, college fandom is a big part of that,” said David Mowery, a University of Georgia alumnus, avid Bulldogs supporter and now an Alabama-based political consultant who works with … [Read more...] about In Georgia, how sports explain a political battleground

CALGARY - Washington Capitals General Manager Brian MacLellan has a few goals for his middling team over the next month: start to string together wins, stay within striking distance of a playoff spot and continue to buy time until injured players return. But even MacLellan admitted Saturday those goals won't be easy to achieve. MacLellan said he was "concerned" about the state of Capitals (10-12-4), and said the only way out of this early season hole would be for Washington's biggest stars to produce. "The margin for error with our team right now, it's small," MacLellan said Saturday, before Washington's dismal 5-2 loss to Calgary. "Probably for a lot of teams throughout the league. You can't make mistakes. You can't have a stretch where your power play is 0 for 21 or something like that. It's going to hurt you. And it's been hurting us. Lately it's been better but it hurts us." After Washington's loss to Calgary, the Capitals woke up Sunday morning four games out of a … [Read more...] about Capitals GM Brian MacLellan ‘concerned’ about his team’s lackluster start

Listen to this article “He's a scientist, that's what he is. I've never seen a driver you could compare so easily to those types who walk around looking miserable because they're so wrapped up in what they're doing.” Patrick Tambay, besides being one of the sport's gentlemen, is also an acute observer. “I was on the second row of a grid in 1984 and just before the start I watched Senna walk to the front and then slowly back to his own midfield position, memorizing what compound tyres every-one in front was using. It was uncanny, I knew then that he was going to be somebody.” The Frenchman was one of the first in the F1 world to appreciate just how painstaking Ayrton Senna is, but he certainly wasn't the last to be exposed to his ruthless obsession to succeed. Back in the 30s Achille Varzi was reckoned, calculating and aloof, but Senna would have made him look like an ingenuous sycophant. I had to carry on, I knew I was on a good lap. Ayrton Senna, after blowing an … [Read more...] about Autocourse back in time: Ayrton Senna, profile of a champion

Two-time Formula 1 race winner and former Ferrari driver Patrick Tambay has passed away aged 73, following a lengthy illness. Tambay’s family confirmed the sad news to AFP on Sunday, with the Frenchman having suffered from Parkinson’s disease in later life. Tambay had 114 race starts to his name in Formula 1 when he raced in the 1970s and ’80s, taking two victories for Ferrari at Hockenheim in 1982 and Imola the following season respectively, as well as five career pole positions.

Valtteri Bottas has embraced the Australian way of life by giving himself a mullet and moustache as he enjoys his off-season. In the past few years, the once-reserved Bottas has been revealing what he gets up to during his free time and revealing appears to be the correct choice of word. From flashing his naked backside on Drive to Survive to skinny-dipping in an American stream , Bottas has embraced life off the track of late. While his activities this off-season have so far been a little more wholesome, including living up to his Finnish heritage with some ice hockey, he has now revealed his latest look following a move Down Under. His partner Tiffany Cromwell is an Australian cyclist and given the cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year, it is no surprise to see the pair head to Australia in search of some sun and it seems Bottas has dived headfirst into Australian culture. He posted a video on his Twitter account which showed him googling ‘Aussie … [Read more...] about Valtteri Bottas reveals incredible new off-season look in Australia

Gay characters in other movies often seem like caricatures, written by someone who "met a gay person once," Bailey, 37, said. But these characters were "just like everybody else," he said. "It felt more relatable." Holiday movie season is ramping up again, and so is queer visibility in recent years in its formulaic wintry rom-coms. For some people like Bailey who are part of the LGBTQ community, that representation has added to the holiday joy. "We believe that everyone deserves love and that our storytelling is enriched by reflecting the diverse voices, perspectives, traditions and families of our audience," Lisa Hamilton Daly, Hallmark Media's executive vice president of … [Read more...] about New LGBTQ holiday movies bring joy – and ‘disingenuous’ stereotypes
