North Carolina's 2023 football schedule was released in full Monday , and coach Mack Brown is not happy. The schedule is highlighted by the season opener against South Carolina in Charlotte and home games against Appalachian State and Minnesota in the first three weeks. The Tar Heels play Duke on Nov. 11 and then close their regular season on the road with matchups against Clemson and NC State. "We start tough, and we finish with an unbelievably tough schedule," Brown said Monday, via Inside Carolina . "We've already got one of the toughest schedules in our school history.

That out-of-conference schedule will be as tough as any in the country." The 2023 season is the first season free of divisions as the ACC moves to a 3-5-5 model. This model features four-team pods with permanent/primary opponents, and then each team plays … [Read more...] about Mack Brown ‘disappointed’ in ACC’s handling of UNC football schedule for 2023: ‘It’s not fair’

2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am fantasy golf rankings, picks, sleepers: Back Viktor Hovland, fade Jordan Spieth
USATSI Tom Hoge will try to continue his roll this week as the PGA Tour heads to California's Monterey Peninsula for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Hoge surged past Jordan Spieth on the final three holes last year to win by two strokes. It was his first – and only – PGA Tour title. The 33-year-old was also in the final group in 2021 but faded to a tie for 12th. Spieth headlines the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2023 field, and he won this event in 2017 and has three straight top-10 finishes, which means he'll likely be ranked near the top of the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am fantasy golf rankings. The tournament is played over three courses – Monterey Peninsula, Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach – and celebrities playing alongside can make for long but entertaining rounds. Spieth is the 9-1 favorite in Caesars Sportsbook's latest 2023 Pebble Beach Pro-Am odds, with Matt Fitzpatrick (10-1) and Viktor Hovland (10-1) right on his heels.

Ken Roczen urgently needed a change for Supercross rise – NBC Sports
Change can be frightening, but it is often exhilarating and Ken Roczen, a rider in his ninth season on a 450 bike, it was urgently needed.

MLB releases 2023 regular-season schedule, including Opening Day times, London, Mexico City series
Getty Images The full schedule for the 2023 Major League Baseball season has been released. We already had a decent idea of the general outline, but it's always nice to get the details. Before even diving into the specifics on a team level, the biggest thing to discuss is the change in the shape of the schedule, so to speak. Instead of a schedule incredibly heavy on divisional matchups, it'll be much more balanced now. Check it out: Teams had been playing 76 in-division games. That total is now down to 52 (13 games and four series against each foe). Non-divisional intraleague games (for example, NL East vs. NL Central) is now a tidy 64 (32 home and 32 away) instead of 66. Each team will have seven games against four chosen opponents and six games against the other six teams fitting this criteria. Interleague play gets the massive increase. There used to be 20 of these games and now each team has 46. This includes a home-and-home series between "natural rivals" and then … [Read more...] about MLB releases 2023 regular-season schedule, including Opening Day times, London, Mexico City series
