PHILADELPHIA — Besides being one the league’s batting leaders for the first-place Philadelphia Phillies, our next guest also happens to be one of the game’s more colorful players. Folks, take a look at this video of him chewing gum. Please welcome, No. 29, John Kruk. — David Letterman, Sept. 23, 1993 No one disliked extra innings more than John Kruk, which explains why he had little interest ...

SEATTLE — Dear Big Ten football fan, The drive from Chicago to Seattle spans 30 hours and 2,000 miles, which feel like many more. It's a seven-state expedition along Interstate 90, a methodical western quest. It cuts through the University of Wisconsin (your other UW) and Sioux Falls, S.D., where Kalen DeBoer once made his name. It weaves through corn fields and rivers and quarries — and over ...

In another one, people might be discussing a certain Midwest conference and how its recent acquisitions will shape college football for decades to come.

The latest round of conference realignment, which came to a boil with last week's implosion of the Pac-12, will not impact the 2023 Holiday Bowl. This year's game will pair Pac-12 and ACC teams Dec. 27 at Petco Park as scheduled. Next year? That's another matter. "Next year, yes, there are going to be changes," said Mark Neville, CEO of Sports San Diego, which produces the Holiday Bowl. "With ...

There was a simple logic to Georgia Tech hiring Paul Johnson as football coach. He would help the Yellow Jackets beat opponents who had more player talent, same as he did at Navy. It worked, for the most part. Johnson’s Jackets won four division titles, one ACC championship and an Orange Bowl. He won three times at Sanford Stadium, including a victory over Kirby Smart. The Jackets won at a ...
