The Tennessee Volunteers are entering their fourth year under head coach Josh Heupel, following a 9-4 season with quarterback Joe Milton at the helm Josh Heupel has turned Tennessee into a perennial SEC contender in just three years, and the 2024 campaign should prove no different. With the College Football Playoff expanding to 12 teams, the Vols could play their way into the dance, even if they don’t compete in the conference championship. Heupel will pour fuel on the fire at SEC Media Days, but what are three important questions awaiting him in Dallas, Texas?
Vientos fouled a ball off his right ankle in the top of the fourth inning in Sunday’s series finale in Anaheim. Manager Carlos Mendoza said Vientos was scheduled to go through his regular pregame routine in St. Louis but that he was being held out of the starting lineup. “Kind of [swelled] up after the game, but he’s better today,” Mendoza said. “He’s a player for us, but I just wanted to give him a day.” Aug. 3: RHP Brandon Sproat promoted to Triple-A Syracuse Sproat, the Mets’ No. 5 prospect and top pitching prospect, was promoted one day following…
Gerrit Cole tossed from the bullpen mound on Friday afternoon before the Yankees’ game with the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium and said he expects to return to the rotation on Sunday against Toronto. The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner was scratched from a scheduled start on Tuesday in Philadelphia with what the club described as “general body fatigue.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone also said that Cole had been dealing with a stomach virus. Asked what he needed to feel in order to return to the mound, Cole told reporters: “Better.” Cole has said that he had…
Kellie Harper always knew she wanted to coach college basketball, but never thought it would be at her alma mater Tennessee. That’s because she thought Pat Summitt would be there forever. “For us, she’s this (human) being that is always going to be there,” Harper said. “You never thought that anyone else would coach at Tennessee. You just didn’t feel like that was an option. So it really wasn’t anything that crossed my mind as a realistic goal when I was a player.” Harper is one of a handful of coaches attending the NCAA Tournament this year who are coaching…
ARLINGTON – On Saturday night, Jarren Duran grimaced as he crossed first base, and then grabbed his right side. At another point in the game, he looked like he felt something again on a swing and miss. Red Sox manager Alex Cora came out with a member of the training staff. Duran’s message was essentially two words. “I’m good.” By Sunday morning, Duran’s torso was bandaged with a heated pad. But that was maintenance. Duran hasn’t sat all season and he knows this isn’t the time, not with the Red Sox (59-51) trying to slim their deficits in both the…

Young wideouts have struggled to grasp the Niners offense, but rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall seems up to the task. The San Francisco 49ers are hopeful that rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall can immediately make an impact in their wide receiver room. Of course, it’s no secret that young wideouts have consistently had some early growing pains under head coach Kyle Shanahan. A former receiver himself, Shanahan has high expectations for his wide receivers and often expects perfection, something unsurprisingly difficult for more inexperienced players. Pearsall was asked about how he has approached learning Shanahan’s system during media availability earlier…

The Knicks made the first big splash of the NBA offseason by completing a blockbuster trade for Mikal Bridges. They followed it up by re-signing OG Anunoby to a whopping $212 million deal, and extending Jalen Brunson on one of the most team-friendly deals in NBA history. Along the way, they got positive grades for their draft and made some free agent signings to fill out their depth. Though they did lose starting center Isaiah Hartestein in free agency, by and large, the Knicks have been one of the winners of the offseason. Now, with the busiest part of…
