data-mm-id=”_fzbvvnztn”>Bill Self and his Kansas basketball program are in some serious trouble. On Monday, the NCAA dropped a notice of allegations on the school that includes the dreaded "lack of institutional control" charge and a "head coach responsibility" charge for Self. This is a massive deal and, if things go sideways, could spell the end of Self's time in Lawrence.Kansas was hit with three Level I violations in men's basketball. There are also lesser charges against the football program, but those are Level II violations. Yahoo! has the latest on the story:”The Level I violations are tied, in part, to the recruitments of Billy Preston and Silvio De Sousa. Court testimony and documents tied to the federal basketball corruption cases over the past …

data-mm-id=”_ywsas6v1j”>Tom Brady has almost everyone beat in the new century in terms of titles. Jimmie Johnson, true to form, is the exception. When Johnson retires from full-time racing after the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season, a record seven championships will go with him. That haul is a number matched by two legends of the sport: Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty. “I’m so thankful for 18 incredible years of racing in NASCAR,” Johnson said on NASCAR.com of a career that began in 2002. “The sport has been good to me. It has allowed me to do something I truly love. I showed up chasing a dream and achieved more than I ever thought possible. I’m looking forward to next season and celebrating what will be my last year as a full-time NASCAR Cup driver. I know what this team is ca…

data-mm-id=”_s7vuli922″>Dak Prescott's impending new deal has been a talking point since the summer of 2019. As no agreement has been reached between Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, it remains a talking point. Former Cowboy Emmitt Smith chimed in to the discussion yesterday, saying Prescott should give the team a discount because he can make up the difference in salary with the public attention and endorsements that working for the NFL's most famous franchise provides. Shannon Sharpe disagrees, to say the least. He waxed poetic on how the owners (and, to an extent, Tom Brady) have managed to convince fans that a player is selfish if he doesn't take a discount to help out the team. Skip Bayless argued how much money Prescott makes directly affects the salary cap, which t…

data-mm-id=”_om9vle0y3″>The Miami Heat will meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 NBA Finals. That means LeBron James will face off against his former team for the NBA championship. This is going to be one of those "Jerome Bettis is from Detroit" storylines where people roll their eyes and get sick of it, but they shouldn't because this is incredible for both LeBron James and the Heat. It might even be unheard of. ESPN immediately dove into the story by asking Eric Spoelstra about LeBron and then showed clips of James celebrating championships when he was a member of the Miami Heat.ESPN already throwing the LeBron vs his former team/coach storyline in Spo's face ? pic.twitter.com/1V3IGRfAPx— gifdsports (@gifdsports) September 28, 2020If you take a moment to step…

data-mm-id=”_2svzs6gtz”>James Harden is done with the Houston Rockets and, apparently, he would prefer if the franchise traded him to the Brooklyn Nets. While on paper, Harden joining Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn seems like a great idea, it could be a monumental disaster. ESPN Sources with @RamonaShelburne and @ZachLowe_NBA: As Houston’s James Harden considers his future with franchise, one possible trade destination is rising to top of his list: Brooklyn. The idea of reuniting with Kevin Durant and joining Kyrie Irving is resonating with Harden.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) November 15, 2020Harden, Durant and Irving are all among the 15 best players in the NBA, but their playing styles don't mesh at all. All three guys all ball-dominant and need to initiate an …

data-mm-id=”_42lz730ys”>The Philadelphia Eagles have been hit harder than most teams by the injury bug in the early days of training camp. Starting guard Brandon Brooks tore his ACL last month, and the Eagles brought back longtime standout left tackle Jason Peters to replace him. Then disaster struck again this week, as presumed starting left tackle and 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard tore a bicep and will be out for the whole season following surgery. The one upside for Philadelphia is that they have a ready-made replacement to step in at tackle in Peters. But he isn't willing to just go ahead and do it. As Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, Peters wants to be paid like a starting left tackle if he's to be a starting left tackle. Per McLane: “But there’s…
