Bears name Lions OC Johnson as new coach

Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has agreed to a deal to become the Bears' next head coach.

Bears appear to be snagging the hottest name on the market. Won't matter, they're still the Bears.

Does he still have the yellow eyes like he did in ‘88?

Anyone know of someone selling last minute? Holding out for as long as I can!

But I’m sure that gets returned if he leaves. But like Hartline to OSU WRs, I doubt he transfers unless Deion leaves. But to answer your question, he did alright. But their whole OL was pretty average to below average. And he played very up and down. But he was a true frosh starting in a P4 program. Would probably get better next year. Not sure how good the CU OL coach is in development

Over the course of the season, I'd say the CU OL improved from sieve to average, although in general the team's little guys (WRs were legit and DBs, even aside from Hunter were quite good as well) were better than its bigs (DL was decent at pass rush, but rought against power rushing attacks). In fairness to their OL when it comes to pass protection, Shaedeur, while reasonably elusive, made Justin Field look like an amateur when it comes to holding the ball for an eternity trying to make a play, and when he didn't get away with it, which was surprisingly often, would take ridiculously long sacks.

ESPN's Dick Vitale to call 1st game after beating cancer 4th time​

Dick Vitale, the legendary voice of college basketball, is returning to the air for the first time since 2023.

The Hall of Fame broadcaster will call the Duke-Wake Forest men's college basketball game on Saturday, Jan. 25 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Vitale, 85, has battled four different types of cancer in the past three and a half years. Most recently, he underwent surgery in the summer of 2024 after a biopsy of a lymph node in his neck showed cancer. Vitale announced on Jan. 8 that he was cancer-free.

"I am absolutely ecstatic and I can't believe this is happening after going through five major vocal cord surgeries, 65 radiation treatments and chemotherapy for six months," Vitale said. "It's been a very tough journey, but all of the prayers and messages from the beautiful fans have inspired me."

"I just hope that I can offer the people some basketball insights that can bring even more excitement to the game."

Former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio to coach team in Paris​

Former Jacksonville Jaguars and Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio has been named the head coach of the Paris Musketeers of the European League of Football.

Del Rio, 61, went 93-94 in 12 seasons as an NFL head coach and made two postseason appearances with the Jags and one with the Raiders.

His last NFL job was as defensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders from 2020 to '23. He previously held coordinator roles with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.

Del Rio's move to Paris comes after a brief tenure as a senior assistant for the Wisconsin Badgers. Hired in August 2024, he resigned from the position in November after he was arrested following a car crash in Madison, Wisconsin, and cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

The Paris Musketeers are part of the 17-team European League of Football, which played its inaugural season in 2021. The league runs from May until September and features teams from Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and Switzerland.

It looks like if a napkin was actually shoes.

After being sued to get the info, OSU finally released the requested documents regarding the selection of Chris Pan as the commencement speaker. This guy is a nutter and they went ahead anyways.

Had a chance to get the ball down by 1 and let Wiscy rebound a missed FT with 12 seconds left.

true, but sounds like he might have air-balled a layup in this case.

ScriptOhio said:

Just sayin':
1) He waited his turn behind 5-Star guys like Smith-Njigba, Harrison, and Egbuka, etc.; however, then younger guys like Smith (5-Star), Tate (5-Star), and Innis (4-Star) just passed him on the depth chart. I'm sure that he just wants to play too so you really can't fault him for transferring.

Good luck to him at Colorado State.

Former Ohio State Wide Receiver Kojo Antwi Signs With Colorado State

Former Ohio State wide receiver Kojo Antwi will continue his career at Colorado State after signing with the Rams out of the transfer portal.

www.elevenwarriors.com

Antwi appeared in just 13 games across his three years with the Buckeyes, making one catch for eight yards against Western Michigan in Week 2 this season for his only career reception. His trio of 2022 recruiting classmates at wide receiver have all previously found new homes over the last couple of years, with Caleb Burton now at Auburn, Kyion Grayes at Cal and Kaleb Brown at UAB after initially transferring to Iowa.
Well, I guess you can say the 2022 recruiting class for WRs was a bust (for Ohio State) and all four were 4-Stars too.

Jireh Edwards released a top 5 without Ohio State, no surprise we never do well with kids from St Frances.
I’m hoping for a Safety class of Bralan Womack, Zech Fort and Jakob Weatherspoon.
