I pursued journalism largely because of Stuart Scott. I was recruited to ESPN in 2012 and was all of a sudden sharing a newsroom with him. My mom came to visit. We ran into Stu. She tearfully told him how much he impacted my life. He died a few months later. Thank you, Stu.

Alec Pierce and Sauce Gardner reunited in Indy.
My favorite matchup to watch at Cincinnati Bearcats practice is the daily battle between CB Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and WR Alec Pierce. The two go at it. Hard. But before giving each other the best possible look, they always shake hands. The mutual respect between them is real.

Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby over the last 7 games: ▪︎ 67 comp pct ▪︎ 20 passing TDs ▪︎ 0 Ints ▪︎ 5 rushing TDs ▪︎ 7-0 record These are Heisman-type numbers. It's time to have a conversation.
It's time to have a real conversation about Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby. The Bearcats are 7-1 (5-0 Big 12) and Sorsby has thrown multiple TDs in 7 straight games. He is the first UC QB in 50+ years to throw multiple TDs in 7 of their first 8 games. I THINK Greg Cook ('68) did it.

Sheesh. Give @JenLada the Emmy now. Great work. This story is worth your time.

I'm enjoying my second stint with @ESPN. I alao had a couple of runs with the @AP and @AP_Sports. It was an honor and privilege to call @TeresaMWalker a colleague. I guess my worlds collided a bit with this one. Really great stuff here on an absolute legend.

Wisconsin has certainly had tough luck at QB. No doubt. But the program's recipe for success for 40 years has been an elite running back (Ball, Dayne, Gordon, Smith, Taylor, etc.) behind a stout offensive line and a dominant defense. That identity is long gone.
@MrKeithJenkins Tough to really get the full eval when they’ve lost their starting QB to injury 3 years in a row.

Wisconsin is now 0-9 against ranked opponents under Luke Fickell. The Badgers have scored 14 or fewer points in seven of those losses. They have reached rock bottom in Madison.

Wisconsin lost five straight games to end last season. It was the Badgers' first five-game losing streak in 30 years. They're about to lose five straight again. That's two five-game losing streaks in less than three seasons under Luke Fickell.

Before we as a sports community move on to a football-filled weekend, I would just like to say that Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract was a bargain. He is the greatest baseball player ever and might be the greatest athlete ever. That's it. Let the football commence.

They say it's the "Greatest Show in Sports." I had to see for myself. I took a trip to Savannah, Georgia, to get a behind-the-scenes look at Bananaland. 🍌⚾️ https://t.co/M6Im587WPJ

Remember this: Terry Francona reached the postseason in his first season in each of his last two managerial stops. ▪︎ Won the World Series with the Red Sox in 2004 ▪︎ Lost the AL Wild Card with Cleveland in 2013 Buckle up.
The Cincinnati Reds now control their destiny for the third wild card spot in the National League. They own the tiebreaker over the New York Mets, who previously had been in control of a playoff spot every day since April 5.

The worst loss in Bengals franchise history by point margin is 37. It's happened four times. The worst loss for the franchise under Zac Taylor is 36 points (49-13 vs. Baltimore in 2019). Cincinnati trails the Vikings by 38 midway through the fourth quarter.

Travis Hunter's NFL debut: Offense ▪︎ Six catches for 33 yards in 44 snaps (65% of Jaguars' total offensive snaps) Defense ▪︎ One tackle in six snaps (9% of Jaguars' total defensive snaps)
Deion Sanders started 8 games at both CB and WR for the Cowboys in 1996. No NFL player since has 2 career games in which he started both ways. My latest for @ESPN on Travis Hunter looking to do what no player has done since Chuck Bednarik in 1962.

Craziest stat from the Bengals' win in Cleveland: Their 141 total yards of offense (95 passing and 46 rushing) are their fewest in 107 games under head coach Zac Taylor. That includes the playoffs.

"Give me my first love!" Lee Corso's first-ever headgear pick belonged to Brutus and the Buckeyes and it's only fitting that his last one is the same ❤️
