Opening Td Play Wasn’t New

Opening TD play wasn’t new Freshman Christian McCaffrey helped ignite the Stanford attack Saturday by gathering a short pass from Kevin Hogan, spinning away from a tackler and beating another to the goal line for a 42-yard touchdown in the opening minutes. The touchdown play might have been among the new wrinkles that head coach David Shaw used to open up the offense after last week’s shoddy performance against Arizona State. With the help of early blocks by McCaffrey and another freshman, Terrence Alexander, Ty Montgomery went 50 yards on a punt-return touchdown, his second of the season. Guys did a good job of staying on their blocks. Punt returns aren’t always easy to block. After Oregon State blocked his punt in the third quarter, Stanford’s Ben Rhyne uncorked a 61-yarder on his next try, the longest of his career.

Keeler vs. Renck: Are the WNBA, Indiana Fever failing Caitlin Clark by allowing cheap shots?
Denver Post, Monday - 06/03/2024 - 01:16 PM
Sean Keeler: Remember The Jordan Rules, my friend? It might be time for The Caitlin Rules. You know one of the first things I thought of when I saw Chennedy Carter go all WWE on the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark over the weekend? 1990. That’s when the NBA instituted the flagrant foul as we know it — and did so, at least in part, because Michael Jordan, the emerging face of the league, was getting the snot kicked out of him, physically and competitively, by Detroit’s “Bad Boy” Pistons.

“SNL” lampooned men in artistic swimming. Bill May could be the sport’s first male Olympian.
Denver Post, Monday - 06/03/2024 - 11:13 AM
NEW YORK — Bill May chuckles at the mere mention of the words “Saturday Night Live,” knowing that the conversation is about to turn to the TV show’s 1984 skit starring Martin Short as one of two brothers attempting to make it to the Olympics in what then was called synchronized swimming. If you want to laugh, too, go ahead and Google the mockumentary-style 4 1/2 minutes, which include Short’s character earnestly looking into the camera and admitting, “I don’t swim,” and show him wearing an orange life vest in the pool.
