Before Baba Oladotun was a top basketball prospect, he was a little boy shooting hoops while his father, Ibrahim, rebounded. Now preparing for his Maryland debut, their relationship has evolved. But one thing hasn’t changed. On the father and son: baltimoresun.com/2026/11/02/…

Lamar Jackson could miss the rest of the season. Tyler Huntley’s status is uncertain, too. With the Ravens’ quarterback room suddenly in crisis, here are some options Baltimore could consider — from Joe Flacco to Shedeur Sanders. baltimoresun.com/2026/11/01/…

Coaches (Especially HS coaches just getting under way): I had this on my desk as I prepared every practice daily. How organized would your practice be if you knew one of your mentors or heroes was going to show up that day?

AD Jim Smith gave us a few clues about what he wants in Maryland’s next coach. Using his own words, I found 11 candidates whose resumes might fit. A little fun with the search: baltimoresun.com/2026/10/30/…

#SportsBiz if you own a team, in any sport, but baseball in particular, it's not about how many tickets or premium seats you sell, it's about this 👇 you have an obligation to people who never bought a ticket from you--to impact their lives in moments like this. #MLB
He's waited decades for this. He's never stopped believing. This is a dream come true. Enjoy this clip. He's everybody's dad tonight. #brewcrew #mlb #milwaukeebrewers

Texas head coach Sean Miller talking about a quote Pat Riley told Doc Rivers: “Don’t ever coach a player for who they are today, you have to coach them for what you know they can become.” #HookEm | #Texas

Aazaar Abdul-Rahim built a football program on sand and dirt. He helped an academically ineligible player graduate college. Another said, “He raised a lot of us.” Now, he has five games to prove himself at Maryland. Can he earn the permanent role? baltimoresun.com/2026/10/29/…

Morgan Freeman was not wrong when he said, "Become a man who can face a breakup. lose a job. deal with debt and still say, ‘God is with me. I’ll figure it out."

There are some parents that will drive six hours for a tournament but won’t drive ten minutes to a parent-teacher conference. Let that one sit for a minute.

Ten months ago, Malik Washington publicly pledged his future to Maryland. With Mike Locksley gone, the quarterback isn’t making that promise again. Sidney Stewart acknowledged he must reevaluate his future, too. baltimoresun.com/2026/10/27/…

If a fully rested Washington Commanders team can't beat this version of the Philadelphia Eagles on short rest at home on Sunday night football...you got major problems.

When #Illini HC Bret Bielema was in high school, he thought he'd play college football at D3 Augustana. But his father, Arnie, encouraged him to chase the biggest opportunities possible. Bielema came home after school and found a letter on his bed from his dad, who passed away this weekend. It said, "What you conceive in your mind and believe in your heart you will achieve." "I tattooed (the quote) on my calf when I was at the University of Iowa," said Bielema. Arnie, who sold sporting goods, used his connections to help get Bret at Iowa football camps and be discovered. Bielema would walk on at Iowa, become a team captain and play in the Rose Bowl. After his collegiate career, he started his coaching career at Iowa. Bielema said, "I just think about where I am now, 56 years of age. The decision he helped me make when I was 18, without helping me make it, he let me kind of come to that decision, has affected my life forever."
