With seven losses and six wins, KKR are placed at the sixth spot with 12 points and they will not only have to win but do it with a big margin and then hope that other results go their way to salvage any hope of sneaking into the knockout stage. LSG already have one foot at the play-offs as they are placed at the third spot with 16 points but with a number of teams jostling it out for remaining three berths, they will look to add two more points to avoid any last-minute hiccup. Two-time former champions, KKR, which had reached the final last year, have managed to keep their theoretical chances alive after coming good in the last two matches against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shreyas Iyer's men rode on Andre Russell's all-round brilliance and near perfect execution from the bowlers to notch up a comprehensive 54-run win over SRH in their last match. While Russell and Sam Billings lifted KKR to 177/6 to set up the win, the top-order once again couldn't produce the … [Read more...] about IPL 2022: KKR vs LSG Live Streaming, Date, Time, TV Channel, Team News, Squads

CBS Sports Graphic When we ranked Power Five college football coaches last year, there wasn't much change in the top 25. Whether it was nobody crashing and burning or soaring higher than ever -- or none of our voters wanting to take anything that happened during a pandemic season too seriously -- things remained largely the same. There were only two new entries in our top 25 at this point 12 months ago. There are a lot more changes this year. Three of the coaches in last season's the top 25 lost their jobs following the 2021 season, including a top-10 coach in Dan Mullen and another who won a national title in 2019, Ed Orgeron. That kind of turnover played a role in the shakeups all over our list of 65 coaches, and this year we have six coaches cracking the top 25 for the first time. Of those six, three were ranked 50th or lower last year. How did they climb so high, so quickly? Well, volatility will always play a role in the process because our group of voters, consisting … [Read more...] about Ranking the top 25 Power Five college football coaches entering the 2022 season

Getty Images Glover Teixeira spent nearly two decades chasing his dreams the old fashion way. In combat sports, that means planting leather on skulls en route to becoming a UFC champion. Teixeira, in his 40th professional MMA fight, dethroned Jan Blachowicz to become the UFC light heavyweight champion. He set the record for oldest first-time UFC champion at age 42. Teixeira, who recently sat down with "Morning Kombat" for its "Room Service Diaries" interview series, noted that he has reaped the rewards of his old-school mentality, but he has no qualms with the modern fight game. Predicated on Twitter trash talk and a robust Instagram following, Teixeira encourages those around him to use the resources he has no desire to. As a businessman, he appreciates it. As a fan, he finds it frustrating. "I think it's great. I think that is where the money is. I tell my nephew, I tell all my students in the gym, I say, 'Hey, man. Be respectful. Be polite, but be funny. Try and do … [Read more...] about Glover Teixeira says ‘boring fighters talk a big game but don’t back it up: ‘It pisses me off as a fan’

Expectations are much higher in Philadelphia this year. The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a surprising playoff appearance last season, finishing with a winning record in head coach Nick Sirianni's first season -- also Jalen Hurts ' first as the full-time starting quarterback for the franchise. The Eagles rewarded their faith in Hurts by acquiring A.J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans , pairing him with DeVonta Smith to form one of the best young wide receiver tandems in football. Philadelphia also has a promising young receiver in Quez Watkins while Dallas Goedert has emerged as one of the top tight ends in the game. Add in the No. 1 rushing attack and one of the best offensive lines in football and it's easy to project why the Eagles can emerge as a contender for the NFC East title. There's an excitement on the defensive side of the ball as well, as the Eagles drastically improved their pass rush with the offseason signing of Haason Reddick and the draft picks … [Read more...] about Eagles 2022 schedule: Predictions, win totals, toughest stretch, opponents, pivotal matchups

Last year, Elaine Thompson-Herah staked her claim as the greatest female sprinter in history by sweeping the Olympic 100m and 200m for a second time. This year, many are wondering whether she will break Florence Griffith-Joyner ‘s 100m world record, though the Jamaican has made it clear it is not her focus. Thompson-Herah races her first Diamond League meet of the year in Birmingham, Great Britain on Saturday (9 a.m. ET, CNBC, NBCSports.com/live, the NBC Sports app and Peacock ). Maybe it’s too early in the season for Thompson-Herah to target Griffith-Joyner’s world record from the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials of 10.49 seconds, which has been scrutinized over a potentially faulty wind reading of 0.0 on an otherwise blustery day in Indianapolis. But the talk has been there since last summer, when Thompson-Herah ran consecutive personal bests in the Olympic final (10.61 seconds into a headwind) and then at the Pre Classic in Eugene, Oregon (10.54, the second-best time in … [Read more...] about Elaine Thompson-Herah headlines Birmingham Diamond League; TV info

When Nathan Chen returns to Yale late this summer after a two-year leave of absence, his housing arrangement will make Chen think he is going back to the future. “I feel like I’m a returning first-year,” said Chen, actually a rising junior. He has a room on Yale’s Old Campus, where the residence halls are primarily occupied by first-year students. It is where he lived the first time around after matriculating in the 2018-19 academic year. The difference this time is Chen also wants to feel present on campus in a way he could not during his first two years of college, when he jammed studies and an international figure skating career into days that seemed too short. He wants to find a fun extracurricular activity or two that aren’t related to skating. He wants to take guitar lessons. Chen, majoring in statistics and data science, wants to focus more on his classes, to “make sure the learning is truly, truly ingrained in me rather than trying to get quickly through it, just … [Read more...] about In return to Yale, Nathan Chen goes back to his future – OlympicTalk | NBC Sports
