LOOK: Former Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka shows of new Tampa Bay uniform

LOOK: Former Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka shows of new Tampa Bay uniform The Ohio State football program saw a whopping 14 players get selected in the 2025 NFL draft, with four of them hearing their names called in the first round. One of those first-rounders, and the first one off the board, was wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, who was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the No. 19 overall pick. So yeah, from the Bucks to the Bucs, if you will. Emeka becomes the only former Ohio State player on the roster and adds to a wide receiver room in Tampa that might be the best in the NFL. Egbuka looked great in the Scarlet and Gray (who doesn't), but on Tuesday, we got our first look at him in the red and pewter of the Bucs as he posed for some media opportunities during the first day of mini-camp in Tampa. The all-time receptions leader in OSU history won't be wearing the No. 2 we saw him in while running crisp routes in Columbus, but will instead don the No. 9 in "Champa Bay." Here's a look at Egbuka in his new digs in Tampa. Hopefully, we'll see plenty of these scoreboard videos of him during the season this fall and winter. There will be plenty of former Ohio State players running around and doing special athletic moves on the football field in NFL stadiums this fall, and we'll be here to make note of many of those moments.

Reforms need unity govt buy-in, says Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR: Carrying out major reforms is a gradual process that requires consensus from within the unity government, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister acknow­ledged that there have been questions over the pace of reforms under his administration, with progress in some areas not as fast as some had hoped for. However, Anwar implored his impatient detractors to look at realpolitik. 'Number one, if you talk about Keadilan (PKR), we have 36 (Mem­bers of Parliament) in Parliament, and if you talk about Pakatan Harapan, we have 82. 'It is not even a simple majority,' he said in his speech when launching the i-RISE Centre of Excellence here yesterday. Hence, it was necessary to get support for reforms, which inclu­ded backing from the ruling elite and professionals. 'And what are the stages? Where do you begin? 'Can you undertake this massive reform in a year, or two or three years? 'I don't know, but what I know is that there's no turning back. 'I am certain every month and every year, there must be some progression,' said Anwar, who is also Pakatan chairman. He reiterated that it is crucial that members of the coalition within his administration work together to usher in the necessary reforms. 'We are fortunate because Umno and Barisan Nasional have turned out to be one of the core pillars committed to this reform and support,' he said. However, he acknowledged that the process of bringing reforms should not be taken for granted because it requires crucial negotiations, discussion and engagement. 'Why say all these points? Because they are relevant. 'If we do not get the consensus with key parties, including, of course, GPS and GRS, then how do we support programmes like these?' he added. In a Facebook post on June 8, Subang MP Wong Chen said he was taking a two-week break to ponder his future in politics. The three-term PKR backbencher, who is now on holiday with his family in France, expressed concern that Pakatan's report card is abysmal as far as reforms are concerned. 'So much time (15 years) and effort has been spent getting into power, but now, I can't help but feel a deep worry that we have so few reforms to show. 'I know we can achieve more reforms, and the only way to do this is if we, the MPs, push the government harder from the backbench.'

NCAA approves coaches' challenges for upcoming basketball season

NCAA approves coaches' challenges for upcoming basketball season Coach's challenge will be introduced this upcoming season. 🏀 Can challenge at any point in a game 🏀 Must have a timeout in order to challenge 🏀 If successful teams receive one additional challenge for the rest of the game, including overtime Full details:… — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) June 10, 2025 Coach's challenges are coming to a basketball court near you. That's right, as if games weren't slowed down enough by referees looking at monitors towards the end of games to review everything from who touched the ball last going out of bounds to seemingly a broken nail, now the NCAA has approved coaches' challenges that will begin with this winter's basketball season, similar to what the NBA allows. Beginning in the 2025-2026 basketball season, coaches will be allowed at most two challenges per game. Teams must have a timeout remaining to do so, and if the challenge is successful, the coach will be allowed one more for the rest of the game -- including overtime. However, if the challenge is not successful, the coach will not be allowed to challenge another call for the rest of the game. But here's the rub: officials will still be able to stop play to review calls to make sure they get them right within the last two minutes of the game and overtime. It has disrupted many games in the recent past and caused some serious frustration with fans and other onlookers. This move would allow a coach not to have to wait for an official review late in the game. At least there is a limit to how many times this can be done. Now, if only we could shut off the monitors or put a limit on how many times the officials can take over a game as the sands of the hourglass run out.
