The Texans fired successful and well-liked (at least among his players) coach Gary Kubiak during the season and pushed hard to make the first move of the 2014 NFL hiring cycle. It worked, as they agreed to terms with former Penn State coach Bill O'Brien shortly before the ball dropped on 2013. The move has been roundly praised. In fact, the praise has been pretty much unanimous. The Texans were aggressive and got their man....
Martin gets $33 million in total with $18.35 million guaranteed, according to the report. The 26-year-old has only allowed four sacks since Houston took him in the second round of the 2016 draft, according to Pro Football Focus. However, the Texans allowed quarterback Deshaun Watson to be sacked a league-high 62 times in 2018 so Martin is part of an offensive line that is suspect. The Texans gave up six sacks in their season-opening loss to the Saints on Monday....
That was the most frequently asked question as the Aggies were courting Fisher. It’s the biggest shakeup of the 2017-18 college football coaching carousel, considering he is one of just four active FBS coaches with a national championship. MORE: FSU hires Willie Taggart away from Oregon It was time for a change. That’s the simple answer. Fisher started at Florida State as an offensive coordinator from 2007-09 before taking over as a head coach, and he has been through a lot in 11 seasons....
Originally, the Formula 1 race was one week later but F1 announced a change in its schedule Wednesday after dropping three previously tentatively scheduled events. Texas Motor Speedway, where NASCAR will hold the eighth race of its 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, is about 220 miles from Circuit of the Americas. The announced attendance for the F1 race at COTA last November was 113,162. TMS does not announce attendance figures but it is reducing its grandstand capacity to 112,552 for 2014 with infield admission also available....
And in the case of Sunday’s race and its implications for the Chase championship, that’s not a good thing.

Johnson will never win a popularity contest against King Richard Petty and “The Intimidator” Dale Earnhardt. Rather, this is about this year’s Chase....
“I can’t tell you we walked away from the Tenet experience saying it was a home run,” said Stankey during the 3rd quarter earnings call. But he didn’t express regret with the decision adding, “We’re happy we did it.” RELATED: Christopher Nolan Blew Up A Real Jet While Filming Tenet Looking to the future however, Stankey didn’t seem overly optimistic. “We’re still committed to putting some of the content we think is most important into a theatrical channel....
Tennessee forward Armani Moore did his best to flop his way into a foul Saturday against No. 18 Butler, but he may have over-embellished just a bit.

But the Volunteers ultimately lost 94-86.
Week 7 featured six games between ranked teams, and it was so much fun.

The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released Nov. 1 and seven weeks from the Selection Show on Dec....
The sixth-seeded Sharapova needed a little over an hour and a half to defeat her fellow Russian, keeping alive her dream of winning the tournament for the third year in a row. Polish world No. 3 Radwanska was rarely troubled in wrapping up a 6-3, 6-2 win over Italy's Roberta Vinci. Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia rallied from a 5-2 first-set deficit to edge second seed Simona Halep of Romania 7-5, 7-6 (4) in the late match....
The lone American man left in the tournament gutted out the victory, trading sets back and forth with Thiem in a match that lasted just shy of four hours. Sandgren defeated the Austrian 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-7(7), 6-3.

He won the WBO title back in 2018 by punishing Jeff Horn but has not been able to face one of the other titleholders due to boxing politics.

The new update for Terraria also has a number of new activities that players can take part in such as the impossible past time of fishing in lava. While it may seem outrageous, not only does Terraria make it possible but it’s also worth doing as the activity can be fairly rewarding, it’s also the only place to catch three specific types of fish. Here’s how to make the most of lava fishing....
It’s worth noting Owens ran a 4.63 at the 1996 NFL Combine, so unless he’s gained speed with his age, that 40-yard dash claim is extremely bold. Outside of that, could Owens still play at 43? Possibly. He’s in great shape, better than most 43-year-olds, but he probably wouldn’t be able to produce as much as he’d have to be worth for a team to take him. Not only is he 43, but he’s also been out of the league for seven years....
Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Strahan and Howie Long all teed off on the Packers signal-caller during their Sunday pregame show at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Their critiques ranged from Rodgers’ use of a Martin Luther King Jr. quote, to the responsibility he has to his team and teammates, to his verbal workaround when asked whether he was vaccinated.

If he doesn’t, the team will certainly be without one of its better comedians.
