Here's a look at all the schools in the Power 5 conferences and how they fared in the BCS era from 1998-2013. We're sorting them by overall record. Some of those records might surprise you. THE ELITE (.750-or-better) 1. Ohio State 161-42 (.793) 2. Oklahoma 165-45 (.786) 3. Texas 158-48 (.767) — All three schools won a BCS championship, but they also combined for a 3-6 record in the BCS championship, including a 0-5 mark against SEC schools....

The 29 points for Lopez is a career high in the playoffs, surpassing the 28 he scored with the Brooklyn Nets in 2013....

And, perhaps inevitably, the TikTok video Curry subsequently uploaded with instructions on how to do a similar project yourself went viral. The video, which has garnered over 700,000 views, was uploaded to Curry’s TikTok account, @Marketbotany. It begins with Curry in one of his local thrift stores, piling picture frames into a cart. Curry then explains that the first step is to remove all the matboard, glass, any mounting hardware, and stickers from the frames....

Ronaldo, 33, is linked with a stunning €100million switch from Madrid to Juve, with the deal reportedly close to completion. The Portugal international’s arrival would come after Buffon’s departure, the former Italy goalkeeper having signed with Paris Saint-Germain. Buffon, who made more than 500 league appearances for Juve, said Ronaldo joining the club would come as no surprise. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ronaldo at Juventus,” he told Sky Sport on Monday....

Originally released in November 2020, Bugsnax is a first-person adventure game that puts players on a mysterious island inhabited by the eponymous half-bug-half-snack creatures. The game mainly lets players explore the island to try to find and capture different species of Bugsnax using various kinds of contraptions. Once captured, the Bugsnax can be fed to other indigenous creatures called Grumpuses, which will then transform their bodies based on the properties of whatever Bugsnax they eat....

This mishmash of mostly low-tech systems exists because voting methods are decided not by the federal government but by county and state officials. And those local officials, constrained by thin budgets, are often reluctant to lay out the millions needed to upgrade their systems. Little wonder, then, that for many Americans–not just those in Palm Beach County–Election Day meant long lines, confusion and, we’re now learning, botched ballots. There are better ways....

The total posted on Peyton Manning’s passing yards is particularly appealing, according to Fantasy Alarm’s numbers. Peyton Manning is projected by our fantasy partner to go fo 299 yards through the air tonight. This differs vastly from the SuperBook’s offer of 249.5. The projection suggests OVER is the play. Margins on some of the other offerings are slimmer, but peruse the numbers below as you consider your Sunday night prop bets....

During Monday’s media night at the SAP Center in San Jose, Manning said he doesn’t have any answers about his future.

That’s a question Bruce Arena will be asking himself heading into the U.S. national team’s World Cup qualifiers in March against Honduras and Panama. Will it be the dominating force who turned heads at last summer’s Copa America with his imposing and near-flawless play? Or will it be the Brooks who stumbled through one of the worst defensive performances in recent memory in November’s qualifying loss to Costa Rica?...

Nicknamed El Osito, or “Little Bear,” Roberto de Jesús Escobar Gaviria was the Medellin cartel’s co-founder and accountant. He was imprisoned for over a decade when the smuggling operation was dismantled. After his release from prison and his brother’s death, Roberto went straight, founding Escobar Inc. in 2014 with 21-year-old Swedish entrepreneur Olof Gustafsson. Escobar Inc. was founded with the primary business purpose is of maintaining control of Pablo’s image and life story....

The talented young cast stole the show again. Rozier had 17 points and 10 assists, Jaylen Brown added 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Jayson Tatum scored 20 points to help Boston roll over the Charlotte Hornets 126-94 on Wednesday night despite Irving’s absence. “When we play with him (Irving), it’s more like a show. Sit back and watch him go crazy,” Rozier said after starting in place of Irving, who missed his second straight game with a left hip strain....

That’s how long the Browns’ first- and second-string quarterbacks had to prep for the Panthers, who beat the Browns, 17-13, on Sunday to stay alive in the NFC South hunt.

Hoyer hoped to talk to Farmer face-to-face before NFL free agency starts on March 10, but their meeting never took place. “I know Ray had texted me about meeting,’’ Hoyer said in a Feb. 7 interview. “That hasn’t gone anywhere to this point. I’m sure he has other things on his plate. But hopefully I get a chance to do that. I’d like to sit down and talk to him....

Arians, who retired from coaching in 2017 after a kidney cancer diagnosis before he returned in 2019 to coach the Bucs, spoke with the Times about the personal precautions he will take when and if the season begins. He is worried for players as much if not more than he is for the coaches. “(81-year-old offensive consultant) Tom (Moore) is probably the healthiest one of all of us," Arians said....

Bruce hit a two-run homer in the ballpark that’s the scene of his best moment in baseball, and Adrian Gonzalez connected twice on Monday night, powering New York to a slump-ending 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. It was a nostalgic moment for Bruce, who was traded in 2016. He considers his top moment in sports the walk-off homer he hit at Great American Ball Park in 2010 to clinch a division title....

It’s because they’re now witnesses to and characters involved in the latest viral video. Bruce Pearl, the master promoter, decided he needed an interesting way to sell Auburn students on “Pearl Jam,” the school’s version of Midnight Madness. So he did what every logical head coach would opt to do: interrupts a lecture hall in the grandest of fashions — with an entire marching band. The only thing that could possibly make this video better is if someone stood up, Billy Madison style, and delivered an adapted version of his “Chlorophyll?...
