Sean McVay unsure if he'll watch Super Bowl after painful loss to Seahawks

-
Millions of people will be tuning in to watch the Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night . Sean McVay might not be one of them. McVay wishes he and the Los Angeles Rams were preparing to play the Patriots this week. He believes they were good enough to win it all this year, but they came up short in the NFC Championship Game – which is why the Rams coach may not watch the decisive game of the 2025 season. He said on Monday that he doesn’t know if he can stomach watching the Super Bowl after suffering what he says was probably the most painful loss of his career against Seattle just over a week ago. Sean McVay says he usually watches the Super Bowl, but this year: "I don't know. I might punish myself. That game the other day probably hurt more than any loss I've ever been a part of & it's because of the love for the team. So I don't know that I'll be tuning in for this one." — Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) F...

USC fans likely get another opportunity to play UCLA in Rose Bowl

-
The USC football team has had trouble earning a spot in the Rose Bowl postseason game in the last several years. The last time the Trojans were there, in fact, was 2017, when current Super Bowl-bound Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold led the Trojans to an epic 52-49 victory over Penn State. But, amidst some program-wide struggles, Trojan fans have still enjoyed the consistent tradition of trekking to Pasadena every other year to watch USC play in its crosstown rivalry against the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl. The Trojans have actually enjoyed decent success in their rivalry trips to the Rose Bowl in recent seasons, winning the last three games they've played in the Grandaddy of Them All including an epic ranked win in 2022. That tradition appeared to be in serious jeopardy as of recently, as news broke that UCLA was looking to leave the Rose Bowl to instead play in SoFi Stadium ( terrible idea for the record ) beginning as soon as the 2026 season, despite the ...

Ziebell, a sophomore, finished with a career-best 34 points, setting the school record for points off the bench. "The number [of threes] isn't as impressive to me as watching her play with so much confidence," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said after the game. "That's the Allie I saw play in high school. That's the Allie I saw play every summer. That's the kid we recruited and why we recruited her." Ziebell finished 11-of-15 shooting overall and 10-of-14 from deep, with three assists and two steals. The 6-foot guard averages 7.5 points per game this season and obliterated her previous career high of 17 points.
