10+ min ago (248+ words) Lane Kiffin's move from Ole Miss to LSU turned into such a spectacle that it managed to drown out a full NFL Sunday in real time, and Marty Smith became the avatar of just how inevitable it felt. By the time Kiffin finally made it clear he was Baton Rouge'bound, it wasn't a reveal so much as a confirmation of what the entire sport had been tracking for 48 straight hours." ESPN's Marty Smith essentially set up camp inside the Ole Miss facility on Saturday, filing live shots and updates for more than half a day while the Kiffin decision dragged into the night. Fans on social media joked that he was "stuck" or "held hostage" in Oxford, turning a veteran reporter into a meme as everyone waited for the coach to confirm what insiders already expected."

Josh Sens, senior writer (@joshsensgolf): If he"s healthy enough to stand upright and swing, we will see him, sparingly, owing either to his competitive drive or a partnership deal or some combination of the two. I don"t see how he stays away from it entirely any more than Nicklaus did. And a healthy-enough-to-swing Woods would for sure have a chance to win. Despite his struggles to stay healthy and his game dropping off over the years, Woods is still golf"s biggest draw. What do you think a Woods start on the Champs Tour…...

13+ min ago (281+ words) The Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers are each in the midst of a dogfight for playoff positioning. Thanks to parity in the division, the 6-5 Steelers have a great chance at winning the AFC North. Thanks to head-scratching losses and the emergence of the New England Patriots, the 7-4 Bills are likely fighting for a Wild Card berth rather than a sixth consecutive AFC East title. Buffalo has been up-and-down for the last two months, as a 4-0 start to the season has given way to a 3-4 stretch of maddening, mediocre football. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, started the season similarly, as a 4-1 start has been followed by a 2-4 stretch of late. Something has to give, as each team is desperate for a win to keep pace in an increasingly crowded AFC Playoff field.
