Sooners to CFP in CBS Sports bowl projections

The Oklahoma Sooners haven’t made the College Football Playoffs since 2019, but that could change if projections from CBS Sports come to fruition.

Oklahoma is projected to be the No. 4 seed as Alabama’s opponent at the Peach Bowl semifinal in Atlanta. The Sooners’ streak of six consecutive conference championships came to an end last season as OU lost on the road at Baylor, the eventual champion, and Oklahoma State. Coach Brett Venables replaces Lincoln Riley, who took off for USC and brought some players with him; however, the cupboard is far from bare at OU. It will be a stiff challenge getting back to the top of the league, but this season,

Sleep is significant to your reminiscence. Studies have shown that your brain organizes information whilst you sleep. During sleep, your brain eliminates the information you do not want (the phrases of an commercial you noticed on the way in which to class) and makes pathways that show you how to keep in mind what you do need (the formulation on your math check). That means pulling an all-nighter to study could be self-defeating. Without sleep, your mind might not have the pathways to help you keep in mind what you studied.

I am trying ahead to this season, and planning on attending a number of video games. It has been a battle to maintain the blog …

No one listens to sports talk radio in LA Here’s why

The New England Patriots have not played a game in two months. The Boston Red Sox are locked out of spring training. The Celtics are in season, but 10 NBA teams have better records.

On the most popular show on the most popular sports radio station in America, there is plenty to talk about. It is cold and gray in Boston on this first Monday in March, but there is fire and fury on the air.

It is the day after Kyrie Irving, who defected from the Celtics in free agency three years ago after suggesting he wanted to stay, compared the relentlessly jeering Boston fans to a “scorned girlfriend.” The booing had been so harsh that Celtics star Jayson Tatum tried to hush the fans.

The Celtics won the game, mind you, but the afternoon hosts on WBZ-FM had Irving on their minds.

“How badly do you

Kids’ Sports Can Take a Toll on Families

These days, middle-class families run ragged by their kids’ competitive-sports schedules are achingly common across America: Weekends are devoured by tournaments and practice, family dinners replaced by mandatory strength-training sessions, and vacations forever postponed. During my five years of researching and writing about youth sports for my book Take Back the Game, I heard so many variations of these stories, and the burden on burned-out teenagers is clear. Less obvious is the effect of relentless overtraining on the rest of the household. In the ever-earlier scramble to develop their kids’ athletic skills, mothers and fathers frequently find themselves giving up the integrity of the family as a whole.

In my observation, this is most common among competitive club sports, which for many kids begin during elementary school and extend through high school. For all the evidence that shows how exercise and sports benefit children, comparatively little research exists on

2019 Main League Baseball Standings & Expanded Standings

MLB StandingsWith a contemporary slate on the horizon, we glance towards the potential dark horses making a run in late fall, and the massive market teams making an attempt to live up to expectations. The Yankees missed out on a golden alternative to upgrade their pitching employees on the commerce deadline. New York should have the most formidable offense within the majors, but the path to a World Series win possible goes by means of the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers; two groups with deep, elite pitching staffs that can put the Yankees at a drawback.

Olney:What, are you kidding? It is perhaps simpler to be taught three new languages than work out the NL playoff field. I am going to say the Dodgers (brave, eh?) and Atlanta win within the West and East, and I am going to guess the Nationals can be a wild-card workforce as a result …

Darnell Mooney Added Yet Another Holy S**t Quote About Matt Nagy

Every time it seems like the reports of how bad Matt Nagy’s offense was last year couldn’t get any worse, another quote comes along to top it. Justin Fields took multiple turns mentioning how difficult it was. Cole Kmet couldn’t avoid the subject. Anybody that played in it couldn’t help but admit in roundabout ways that Nagy never had a firm idea of ​​what he was doing. Yet somehow, Darnell Mooney may have topped them all.

Friday’s practice at Halas Hall was one of the toughest yet. Several players admitted it was exhausting. Coaches wanted to stress them mentally and physically. That job was accomplished. One of the things the offense worked on extensively was getting Fields out of the pocket on scrambles. When those situations happened, receivers and tight ends were required to scramble too, searching for open space to help the quarterback make a play. It might seem

Prospect Watch: Top five youngsters moved at MLB trade deadline

You may have heard that Major League Baseball’s trade deadline passed on Tuesday night. (If not, you can use our handy trade tracker to catch up on all of the moves from the past several weeks.) As such, this edition of Prospect Watch is, predictably, all about ranking and analyzing the five best youngsters who were included in deals.

Keep in mind that these exercises are always more of an art than a science and that there were more than five worthwhile prospects traded at the deadline. Now, forward.

There’s a lot to like about Marte’s game. He’s a left-side infielder with well-above-average raw power who walks and who has kept his strikeout rate in check despite playing against competition that is several years older than him. The one big unknown facing Marte is his defensive position. He’s been awfully error-prone at short over the last two seasons, and he

Cowboys’ secondary looks to lead ‘switch of mentality on defense’

By David Helman
FOX Sports Dallas Cowboys Writer

OXNARD, Calif. — With all due respect to a lot of former Cowboys defensive backs, something feels different in 2022.

It used to feel like a rite of summer to come out to the West Coast and watch this team’s receivers put on a show. From Dez Bryant and Miles Austin to Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, it was common as recently as last year to watch a Dallas wideout take over training camp.

For the record, Lamb is playing just fine in his third NFL training camp. But this time around it feels more like a fair fight, because, for all the criticism the Cowboys’ secondary has taken over the past decade or so, this one has opened camp at about as high a level as possible.

“I feel like the defense is finally catching up, and we finally can match
