In the eyes of most Philadelphians these days, LeBron James figuratively stands taller than the William Penn statue atop City Hall. Considering that a gentleman’s agreement once forbade building construction that exceeded the hat resting on Penn’s head, James is breathing the rarified air ...
NIL not withstanding, Penn State fans don’t appear to see the reality of a football program that has only won two national championships in its existence, and a 9-3 or 10-2 season might be really all that can be expected. Granted, this may be a sit back and wait season, but last year’s “recruiting” (ie. shell out NIL money) was doomed to be a failure, and so give the new guy wiggle room to spend $20-30 million to buy a decent team.

Let’s hope he can recruit like Franklin then develop what Franklin could not. I bleed blue and white, was a big Joe Paterno fan, ...
Maybe the Cleveland Browns didn’t strike out when they made that blockbuster trade for Deshaun Watson. A deal that was a disaster for four years is suddenly producing some hits. After Browns owner Jimmy Haslam called the trade “a big swing and miss,” Watson beat out Shedeur Sanders for ...
UCLA heads east Saturday with a chance to turn a strong September into something more historic. The Bruins are 3-0 under first-year head coach Bob Chesney and will look for their first 4-0 start since 2022 when they meet Maryland at SECU Stadium. Kickoff is 1:30 for the Big Ten Network. ...
