Steelers superstar T.J. Watt tightened Michael Strahan's season record of 22 1/2 bags at the end of the second quarter Leaning against the white wall in the away team's media room after beating the Baltimore Ravens in extra time 16-13, Pittsburgh Steelers full-back Ben Roethlisberger had a message for the NFL. “Give him half a sack,” said Roethlisberger as he changed the guard outside T.J. Watt on the podium. "Begin the petition." Just hours earlier, Watt had tied Michael Strahan's record of one-time NFL firings with 23 seconds remaining in the first half. Watt almost has at least one more, which will give him the only record. "I don't know if any of this has ever happened to me," Watt said of the record-breaking. "It wasn't just myself. There were so many other people involved, great players, coaches, plans and a lot of unselfish guys in the dressing room that allowed me to do plays. Because So that record isn't just mine." With th

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The University of Arkansas baseball team has checked in at number 9 in Perfect Game’s preseason Top 25 rankings. Perfect Game released its poll on Thursday morning. The publication is the second of college baseball’s six major polls, including D1Baseball, Baseball America, USA Today Coaches, NCBWA and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper to release its rankings ahead of the 2022 season. The Hogs were previously ranked number 20 in Collegiate Baseball’s preseason poll. Arkansas is one of seven SEC teams in Perfect Game’s preseason poll and one of five SEC programs in the top 10. Vanderbilt sits atop the rankings, followed by Texas and Stanford at number 2 and number 3, respectively.

Hot New LeBron James wants his son Bronny to be in the NBA as soon as possible

While we've known this for a while, LeBron James definitely wants to be able to play alongside his son Bronny in the NBA. The boy is currently a middle school student and he won't be able to make it to the NBA until 2024, according to current NBA rules. That means LeBron James will have to wait until at least 40 if he wants to make his biggest dream come true. There have been countless examples of how proud LeBron James is for all of his children, but he has one particular interaction with his sons that involves basketball. The oldest, Bronny James was exceptionally talented and many ranked him as a strong NBA prospect when his time came. James repeatedly says how much he wants his eldest son to be able to finish in time before he retires. As the current season began, criticism directed at LeBron James for his veteran status began to gain traction, especially due to the Lakers' lack of results. But in recent weeks, 'King' has even been added to the MVP chat and many

Familiar faces lead the way in 1st fan returns for All-Star voting

VOTE NOW for your 2022 NBA All-Stars! If anyone anticipating the first wave of fan voting released Thursday for the 2022 All-Star Game was looking for a surprise, they’d be disappointed. The usual suspects and vote leaders have already surpassed 2,000,000 votes: LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo. That’s to be expected. The player who owns fourth quarters and is getting plenty of flowers right now isn’t far behind: DeMar DeRozan, again, nothing unusual in this case. Perhaps the only mildly interesting development is the popularity of Paul George, who’s fourth in the Western Conference voting, and only because the Clippers’ star is injured and might not be healthy enough to play in Cleveland next month. As it is, Durant and Curry, former teammates with the Warriors a few years ago, have a decent chance at being captains for the two squads. That qualifies as drama, right? They won a pair of championships during the Warriors’ dynasty and then Durant opted to si
