This simultaneous slide from two Mississippi State baserunners is mesmerizing
College baseball doesn't get the love it deserves, particularly in its regular season. That's a shame, because the sport is a content factory. Look no further than the routine ground ball that turned into a three-run, inside-the-park homer last week in the Harvard-Alabama game. And who could forget perhaps the moment of last summer in any sport, when Louisville pitcher Luke Smith dropped two hard “F— YOU”'s at a Vanderbilt batter, followed by a “sit the F— down.” Legendary stuff. Well, not as legendary when you remember he blew the game the next inning, but the point remains: college baseball is awesome and we should be paying more attention.

Players Championship 2020: 15 prop bets we’d love to see for the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass
PGA TOUR ArchiveDeane Beman, Jerry Pate1982 TPC SawgrassPGA TOUR Archive via Getty ImagesThe Super Bowl gets thousands of prop bets each year, so why not The Players? In celebration of the biggest tournament yet on the calendar, we're campaigning to oddsmakers to write up a few of these fun wagers.
We've had—maybe a little too much—fun with some of these. But the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is one of golf's most iconic spots, and with the boom in popularity of sports betting specific to golf, we think we have a case with some of these prop bets below.
–Over/under 4.5 ‘Better Than Most’ mentions on the weekend broadcast.
This might be a safe cash on the over, actually.
–(+1500) (Bet $10 to win $150) The winner jumps into the water to honor Pete Dye, and drags Jay Monahan in, Jerry Pate style.
–Over/under 50.5 water balls on 17 through four rounds. (The average per year since 2003 is 47.7)

In the wake of the coronavirus, is it time to end the handshake in sports and in life?
Quinn RooneyThe coronavirus could change sports and life in some ways we can predict, and in some ways that will only unfold with time. (For instance, who knew that it would be impossible to buy toilet paper only a few weeks into its U.S. incursion?) But it also presents us with an opportunity to end one of the most tyrannical institutions in human history: The godforsaken handshake.
Why do we shake hands? What is the point? As long as the handshake has existed, it has been the number one manmade way to exchange germs. It's a perfect vector; the nuclear bomb of viruses and bacteria, and we're handing it to them (LITERALLY) on a silver platter. The formula is simple: Hand goes to mouth, hand goes to other hand, other hand goes to other mouth, and thus the bug is transmitted. On a human health level, the handshake was always a terrible idea.
