Tim Tebow will spend much of his professional life outside of football for the foreseeable future after recently becoming partner at GOVO Venture Partners — a venture capital firm based in Winter Park, Fla. A couple hours from his hometown in Jacksonville, Tebow will "use his expertise and relationships across the state to boost the firm, which recently launched its first venture fund (GOVO Fund I) focusing on early-stage companies involved with government entities and government regulations," according to Sportico.

One of the top catchers available in the transfer portal has made a decision as to where he will play next season, as LSU Tigers sophomore Brady Neal has officially committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
A former top prospect out of high school, Neal originally began his collegiate career in 2023 as LSU’s starting catcher as a true freshman, but saw action in only 26 games before missing the remainder of the year due to an injury. As a freshman, Neal slashed .209/.411/.388 with three HR and nine RBI for a LSU team that eventually went on to win the national championship.
This past season as a sophomore, Neal appeared in 44 games with the Tigers to slash .276/.408/.578 with nine HR and 31 RBI.
With those totals, Neal’s career stats while at LSU sat at a combined slash line of .251/.409/.508 with 12 HR and 40 RBI. Neal also held a combined K-BB ratio of 61-41, amassing at-least 20 walks drawn in each season.

Looking ahead, Neal will now enter 2025 as the favorite to start at catcher for Alabama, who was set to lose multi-year starter Mac Guscette this offseason.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Michigan's new defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, has acknowledged that he likes to blitz more than predecessors Jesse Minter or Mike Macdonald. But the Wolverines' DC is also quick to dismiss similarities between his scheme and the one run under Don Brown, whose "Dr. Blitz" nickname reflected his desire to pair pressure with press-man and a single safety.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

In the 2024 iteration of Phil Steele's annual football preview magazine, the publication makes it clear the Gators should exceed their projected win total of 5.5 wins, and he included Billy Napier's team on his "Most Improved" list ahead of the season.
