Northwestern Cornerback Brandon Joseph Picks Off Justin Fields With One Hand
My God
Ohio State and Northwestern are playing in the Big 10 Championship Game today. Despite the field not being adorned with any bells and whistles to the chagrin of people who care about that sort of thing, the game was, in fact, played.
And the No. 14 Wildcats clearly did not show up with the plan to let the No. 5 Buckeyes walk all over them en route to a College Football Playoff berth. Quite the opposite. Northwestern handled Ohio State with ease in the first half and headed into the locker room up 10-6.

CC Sabathia s post-baseball career has been fruitful and varied thus far. He joined The Ringer. He started a podcast called
R2C2 with Ryan Ruocco. He s appeared on TV and has generally turned into a known and well-liked athlete-turned-media personality.
His next endeavor is apparently basketball commentating, as he ll be appearing alongside podcast partner Ruocco and Sarah Kustok on Friday as a part of the Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics preseason broadcast. He and Ruocco chatted about it, and it turns out Sabathia has some experience in the realm of broadcasting. Kinda.

Drew Brees has not played a snap since halftime of the New Orleans Saints Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Brees got hammered while in the pocket and exited the game, ultimately diagnosed with multiple fractured ribs and a punctured lung. Earlier this week, Brees was cleared to practice for the first time since that day, and he has a chance to play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Ian Rapoport.

The NBA season is right around the corner after an abbreviated offseason. The first tip-off will come on December 22, and then we ll be off to the races. This season will be shorter than normal, with only 72 games and only the first half of the season has been officially scheduled as the NBA attempts to be as flexible as possible with the coronavirus ever-looming. A season unlike any other will be a sentence written by dozens of publications. You know it, I know it. So let s get to the normal discussion here: who should be considered the frontrunners for the MVP award?
