The NFL’s owners met earlier this month to discuss how they should handle the continuing protests of the league’s players during the playing of the national anthem.

It may not have counted in the official standings, but the Vegas Golden Knights hit the ice for a game for the first time on Sunday afternoon and put on quite a show.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White isn’t afraid to admit how crucial Conor McGregor has been to the popularity of the promotion.

The story of Atlanta United’s first season is halfway told and already the revelations have come in waves.

In the biggest non-conference home game in recent memory, No. 7 Michigan blew by No. 11 North Carolina, 84-67, in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Wednesday at Crisler Center.

The Wolverines turned around a 10-point first half deficit in the blink of an eye and went into the break with a four-point lead.

The second half was all Michigan. The Wolverines opened up a double-digit lead. Then they pushed that lead to 20.

North Carolina made an 11-0 run and found itself still facing an 11-point deficit. And then Michigan responded, with a quick seven-point spurt.

Ignas Brazdeikis scored a game-high 24 points, and Charles Matthew added 21 points for the Wolverines.
