Good morning and Happy New Year sports fans. Welcome to the first In Other News of 2024! I hope your holiday break was as refreshing as mine was.

Well, it WAS..

I know it has to hurt ESPN that they will have to air a (future) Big 10 matchup for the natty on their air waves.

NFL Playoff Teams Locking In

ROLL IT.

And finally,

Well reader, that’s all we have for today. Happy New Year to all, and we will see you in tomorrow’s edition of In Other News!
