MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Curt Cignetti came to Indiana to win championships. The old-school, blunt-spoken coach who began his Hoosiers tenure with a promise to bring swift success to the losingest program in college football completed his masterpiece on Monday night, guiding Indiana to a 27-21 win over Miami in the College Football Playoff final and the first national championship in school history. Cignetti accomplished what few imagined could be done — at least not this quickly. But after taking advantage of the transfer portal and name, image and likeness money to build a championship roster, Cignetti coached the Hoosiers to their first…

The New England Patriots will travel to Denver to take on the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship on Sunday. Denver will be without starting quarterback Bo Nix, but the story of their season has been the defense. They still have a defense loaded with stars, and Drake Maye will have his hands full trying to lead the offense. ESPN’s Mike Reiss called out a major concern in Maye’s game ahead of his matchup against the Broncos ferocious defense. Reiss noted that Maye has a league-high 14 fumbles in 19 games this season. Denver has 71 sacks in 18 games,…
Hello and happy Monday, friends. Hell of a Pats game yesterday, wasn’t it?! I mean, Drake’s gotta hold on to the ball better going forward. Even against Jarrett Stidham, we can’t afford to put the ball on the turf four or five times against a tough Denver defense on the road. I’m gonna need more help from the left side of the O-line, too—Will Campbell, I still believe in you, but come on dude. The defense has been hummin’, though, and I can’t imagine Stidham will play a 100% clean game. Go chase after him, make him poop his pants,…
The only deep pass Drake Maye completed Sunday was the knockout blow with less than 13 minutes left. This is the danger of playing the Patriots now. Maye can wait and wait and wait, get battered and bruised and blown up. He can even turn the ball over three times. But so long as Maye has time to strike late in a close game, no defense is safe. The Patriots are bound for the AFC Championship Game because their defense has afforded Maye enough time to work through his mistakes in the first two playoff games of his career, both…

The Buffalo Bills stole headlines Monday morning with the team’s shocking decision to fire longtime head coach Sean McDermott after playoff appearances in eight of nine seasons. The Bills became the tenth team to fire their head coach this cycle, and by showing up late to the party, Buffalo has already missed out on the opportunity to interview premier candidates like John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefansky. All four coaches hired so far share one thing in common: prior head coaching experience. This is part of the reason why former New England Patriots Super Bowl-winning assistant Brian Daboll has emerged as…

The top two teams in the Eastern Conference squared off in another thriller Monday night. Jaylen Brown (32 points, 11 rebounds) outproduced fellow NBA All-Star starter Cade Cunningham, but his last-second fadeaway missed the mark, allowing the East-leading Detroit Pistons to escape with a 104-103 win over the second-place Celtics at Little Caesars Arena. “(Brown is) a super talented player playing at an all-time level right now,” Pistons forward Tobias Harris said in a postgame interview with NBC sideline reporter Robbie Hummel. “… At the end of the day, I know he’s going to hit tough shots, but it’s just…
The first-ever World team for the NBA All-Star Game is already looking loaded. And the fate of LeBron James’ record streak of All-Star selections will now be decided by coaches, or perhaps even Commissioner Adam Silver.Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver’s Nikola Jokic, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Luka Doncic and San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama were among those announced Monday as starters — an inexact term this year — for next month’s All-Star Game at the Los Angeles Clippers’ home arena in Inglewood, California. They’re likely heading to the World team, which will take on two teams of U.S.…
