SBNation’s take on the best players of the Atlantic Coast Conference, so far this season.

The ACC was not immune from expansion this season, joining the Big Ten in becoming a conference that now touches both the East and West Coasts. While it brings up questions, mainly surrounding its “Atlantic Coast Conference” name, it’s built up one of the most impressive group of programs in women’s college basketball.

Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders to the Cowboys CAN happen, but it’s complicated

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images

Let’s dive into the wildest scenario in the NFL.

It started as a joke. In March of 2024, in our company Slack room, I laughed about how the “most Cowboys thing possible” would be for Jerry Jones to move on from Mike McCarthy after the season, hire Deion Sanders, and find a way to draft Shedeur Sanders as their starting QB.

At the time, it was so unimaginable that it became a recurring joke — but I couldn’t shake the idea of it being so...

Why Chiefs vs. Texans can be the most intriguing game of the NFL Divisional Playoffs

Houston’s defense will try and put Mahomes in a blender.

I’m actually quite intrigued by this matchup between the Chiefs and Texans, largely because I think the Texans’ defense is playing some of the best football in the NFL right now. What they did to the Chargers on Wild Card weekend might violate the Geneva Convention. They pressured Justin Herbert on more than half of his dropbacks, forced four interceptions and allowed a -0.58 EPA per...

John Deere’s “unfair” practices raised repair costs for farmers and kept them from being able to make repairs on tractors and other equipment they own, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleges in a new lawsuit.

The FTC and attorneys general for Illinois and Minnesota filed suit today in a long-running fight for the right...

Like the wildfire conditions in Los Angeles County, my For You page on TikTok turned overnight.

I woke up last week to a phone screen filled with ravenous flames and video after video of razed homes, businesses, and other structures. Influencers broke from their regular cadence of content to film themselves packing up a suitcase for evacuation; nameless accounts shared footage from streets I didn’t recognize, showcasing the...

Drake’s ongoing legal battle with his label, Universal Music Group, has escalated. The artist filed a lawsuit in federal court today, accusing UMG of harming his reputation and endangering him for profit. The suit stems from the diss track “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar, another UMG artist. Drake’s legal complaint also again accuses UMG of using bots on Spotify and other streaming platforms, and payola to make the song more popular.

Sling TV adds unlimited recording to its DVR — but it still costs extra

Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge

Streaming TV services keep getting more expensive, and those subscription costs will only continue to rise in 2025 and beyond. Amid all these price hikes, the best we can hope for is that the companies behind them will continue to add new features to ease the sting of paying more. Sling TV is trying to do just that with its cloud DVR, which has removed its previous recording limits and is now “unlimited.”

“Unlimited DVR (previously called DVR...

TikTok might go for a total shutdown in the US on Sunday

TikTok is preparing for a shutdown in the U.S. on Sunday, but it might be more radical than many users expected.

If TikTok doesn't find a buyer before Sunday, Jan 19, it will likely have to stop operation in the U.S. This is due to a law signed by President Biden in April, which requires TikTok parent company Bytedance to sell its U.S. assets by the deadline.

But according to The Information (via Reuters), TikTok is planning to completely shut off U.S. users from accessing the app. New users...

U.S. inflation likely remained high in December. What that could mean for interest rates

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said the central bank will keep its key interest rate elevated until inflation is back to 2%.

U.S. inflation probably worsened last month on the back of higher prices for gas, eggs, and used cars, a trend that could lessen the chance that the Federal Reserve will cut its key interest rate much this year.

On Wednesday the Labor Department is expected to report that in December the consumer price index rose 2.8% from a year ago, according to economists surveyed by...

Daredevil: Born Again sends Matt Murdock back to Hell’s Kitchen in new trailer

Though Daredevil: Born Again hit a few production snags that delayed its Disney Plus debut, Marvel has finally released the series’ first trailer ahead of its premiere in March.

When last we saw Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), he was getting into squabbles out in Oklahoma, but Daredevil: Born Again’s new trailer sends him back to New York City where Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) just so happens to be running for mayor. Fisk seems to be running a strong...
