🏈 Texas Tops Preseason AP Poll for First Time |
Texas snagged the No. 1 spot in the AP college football preseason poll for the first time ever yesterday. See full rankings.
The Longhorns edged out Penn State by a razor-thin five-point margin—the tightest preseason vote since 1998—claiming 25 of the 65 first-place votes compared to the Nittany Lions' 23.
The hype train is real as Arch Manning locks down the QB slot and Steve Sarkisian's stacked roster—despite major NFL departures—commands respect.
With Ohio State—the defending champs—slotted at No. 3, Texas jumps into what could be the most intense season-opening showdown yet: a CFP rematch in Columbus on August 30. |
⚾ Brewers Win 10th Straight Again, Join Elite Company |
The Brewers pushed their win streak to 10 games with a commanding 7–1 victory over the Pirates last night, powered by 11 hits and a stellar six‑inning outing by Jose Quintana.
That victory didn’t just keep the momentum rolling—it vaulted the Brewers into elite company.
Milwaukee is now just the 10th team in the Divisional Era to pull off multiple double-digit win streaks in a single season, joining the 2019 Astros, 2017 Dodgers, 2015 Blue Jays, 2013 Braves, 2001 Cardinals, 1978 Pirates, 1977 Royals, and 1969 Mets and Astros.
They also pulled off an eight-game win streak from May 25-June 2. In other words: this is no fluke—it’s a historic ride, and the Brewers are riding it full throttle. | 🥊 UFC Secures 7yr/$7.7B Deal with Paramount |
UFC dropped a game-changing move yesterday—signing a gargantuan seven-year, $7.7 billion media rights deal with Paramount and CBS, officially kicking off in 2026.
This agreement pulls UFC out of its long-time pay-per-view model—making all 13 numbered cards and 30 Fight Nights annually available to Paramount+ subscribers at no extra cost, with select marquee bouts simulcast on CBS.
UFC President Dana White said it's a massive win for fans and fighters, promising bigger visibility and accessibility across the board. |
