* Bill Simmons and Kevin Wildes from Fox Sports did a segment about different sports ideas on Simmons' show. Wildes had the idea that the next thing in sports should be in basketball...where a guy comes up court and jumps in the air from behind the 3-point arc but doesn't release the ball until he's somewhere around the free throw line. So, it's a 3-point shot but the distance of the shot is shorter because of where he lets it go. Do you Buy or Sell this ever becoming a thing?
* Charles Barkley says Oklahoma City, Boston and Cleveland are the only three teams that can win a title this season. Would you take those three teams or the field to win it all?

Notre Dame star RB Jeremiyah Love threw out the first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game
Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love was in his home state of Missouri this weekend, and once again was honored by the St. Louis community. As one of the top returning players in college football, Love is no stranger to the spotlight and it was once again on him Friday night as he threw out the first pitch at the St. Louis Cardinals game. The clip starts off with him catch an over the shoulder 'pass' from the mascot, as he proceeded to the mount for the ceremonial pitch. Love would then have a solid throw, although it wasn't quite a strike, just a bit out of the zone. What's great about the video is it included his commentary during the whole time. You can hear him saying to himself not to screw it up, go back to his teaching and then not being overtly happy with his throw. After leaving the field, he did acknowledge that his toss was better than it bouncing up there. Check out the full video below, as Love joins plenty of other former and current Notre Dame stars to throw out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game.

Class of 2027 Notre Dame in-state DE target Jayce Brewer picks up an offer from LSU
Notre Dame received a big commitment in its 2027 recruiting class this past Thursday when quarterback Teddy Jarrard pledged to the Fighting Irish. Landing a quarterback of his caliber early in a class is always a nice luxury, as it could potentially set the table for a special class. The Irish are in play for some intriguing prospects on the other side of the ball in this class as well, including in-state Franklin Central (Indianapolis, IN) defensive end Jayce Brewer. But the Irish will have some work to do in order to get his commitment. Brewer has a lot of offers from major programs, and he just picked another one up from Brian Kelly and LSU. The four-star prospect is the No. 3 player from the state of Indiana for the 2027 class, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound pass rusher has offers from major programs such as Michigan, Penn State and Florida, among others, in addition to the Irish and LSU. Last season, Brewer recorded 12 tackles for loss along with three sacks and an interception. Marcus Freeman, Al Washington and Co. are in the mix for the athletic and raw Brewer, but they will have to hold off LSU and others for his pledge.
