That is what materialized in Week 5, when the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs reminded the SEC — and the FBS — where the College Football Playoff race starts — and perhaps will finish. Georgia routed Arkansas 37-0 in a top-10 showdown. Alabama beat Ole Miss 42-21 in another cookie-cutter blowout. If the CFP rankings were released this week, then it would be a toss-up between the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs at No....

Chase McGrath’s 40-yard field cleared the uprights on a sideways trajectory, and No. 6 Tennessee broke a 15-game losing streak to No. 3 Alabama in a 52-49 thriller that met the “Game of the Year” credentials. The teams combined for 1,136 yards and 14 plays of 20 yards or more. Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young (32 of 52, 455 yards, 2 TDs) and new contender Hendon Hooker (21 of 30, 385 yards, 5 TDs, INT) put on a show....

Virginia Tech lost at previously winless Old Dominion in one of the least expected results of the past decade, dropping the out of the rankings.

We’re not talking about No. 2 Tennessee. The Volunteers remain in our projected College Football Playoff picks along with No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 5 Clemson. Who are the surprise teams?

“This year is almost getting close to the end. But there is one thing that I will look for, is Juan Marichal has more innings than me,” Colon said through a translator. “For the Dominicans, I want to beat him also.” But there likely won’t be enough time left in his 21st big league season for the 45-year-old Texas Rangers right-hander to do that. After needing six tries to get his 246th career victory and finally break a tie with Nicaragua’s Dennis Martinez for the most win by a Latin American, Colon now would have to throw 61 2/3 more innings to pass Hall of Famer and fellow countryman Marichal on another list....

“Club Q is the only LGBTQ space in Colorado Springs and we don’t even have that anymore. What are we going to do? How do we move on from this? We can’t. We’re shattered. We’re broken,” 34-year-old Joshua Thurman told The Denver Post reporter Shelly Bradbury on Sunday. In a separate comment reported by local news station KOAA News 5, Thurman, who was present during the shooting, said: “As a Black kid it’s taboo to be gay, so coming here, this is one of the first places that I felt accepted to be who I am....

But on March 24, 2002, Halle Berry crossed the stage at the Kodak Theatre to become the first African-American woman to win an Oscar for best actress. (She also set the record for most tears shed during an acceptance speech.) Minutes later, Denzel Washington took the best-actor award, the first black man to do so in 38 years. It was, by any measure, historic. Since 2002, 11 black actors have earned Oscar nominations....

It’s not just the console itself that has been selling well, as add-on peripherals for the console have been gathering some interest as well. Most notably, the PS4 camera (which Sony chose to sell separately to avoid the same high pricing plans that the Xbox One suffered from) sold so well in North America that its high demand saw the price for the device raise by $10 in some markets....

Fans on Twitter got Malcolm Butler, Patriots cornerback, confused with Darius Butler, Colts cornerback. Cut them some slack because Darius did play his first couple of seasons in New England, but in his Twitter bio it clearly says he plays for the Colts now. Oh, and the different uniform is a bit of a hint, too. MORE: Must-see Super Bowl images | Memorable commercials | Malcolm Butler: Super Bowl hero...

Jonathan Taylor is set to miss Indianapolis’ “Thursday Night Football” matchup against the Broncos because of an ankle injury. This marks the conclusion of an impressive iron-man streak for the former Wisconsin running back. It will also leave the Colts a bit shorthanded at running back, and that could become a problem for the team. Indianapolis hasn’t had a good running game so far in 2022. The Colts have averaged just 87....

Where’s the love for the defense? Sure, Edelman caught 10 passes for 141 yards, including two grabs on the drive that ended with rookie running back Sony Michel plowing into the end zone with the game’s lone touchdown. Yet, if there ever was a case for another defensive MVP like Von Miller in Super Bowl 50, this was it. Of 54 MVPs (Cowboys DT Randy White and DE Harvey Martin shared the honors in 1978), 42 have been offensive players, 11 were defenders and one was a special teamer (Desmond Howard in 1997)....

The 23-time grand slam champion defeated Julia Goerges to progress to Saturday’s showpiece at the All England Club, her first final since returning from a year out in which she gave birth to her first child.
