You won't find this in Cortina d'Ampezzo over the next few weeks, but for several decades of the Olympics' history, the contest awarded medals not just for sport but for art too. In the Summer Games from 1912 to 1948, musicians, painters, and plenty of other aesthetes went brain-to-brain in events such as lyric poetry and chamber music. "Town planning" was even contested one year under the umbrella of the architecture competition.

NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reports that Luke Getsy is receiving a promotion from the Packers. After spending time in each of the last two seasons in advisory and consultant roles, Getsy will be Green Bay's new quarterbacks coach. Getsy replaces Sean Mannion, who was Green Bay's quarterbacks coach in 2025 and had been on the staff as an offensive assistant since 2024. Back in January, Mannion left the Packers to become the new offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Michigan's +494 scoring differential (outscoring opponents by 22.5 points per game) is a result of scoring 91.4 points per game (fifth in college basketball) while allowing 68.9 per contest (65th in college basketball). The Wolverines post 18.4 more points than the Buckeyes allow (73). Michigan hits 1.4 more threes per contest than the opposition, 9.4 (64th in college basketball) compared to its opponents' 8.
The team's longtime home has been Soldier Field, built in 1924. It is the oldest stadium in the NFL, and open to the elements. When icy snows fall, opposing teams shiver in the lake winds. The Bear players wear short sleeves, and sling touchdown passes. Bear down, as we fans say. Domes are for tea parties, not football.
Instead, with the Seahawks trailing 28-24 and 26 seconds to play, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell with the authorization of coach Pete Carroll called for a quick slant pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. New England safety Malcolm Butler got there first with an interception at the 1. The Patriots (15-4) won their fourth of six Lombardi Trophies under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
