    Maybe my favorite George Steinbrenner story:
    Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner RE: Alteration of Yankees facial hair policy In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees - spanning several eras - to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback. These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.

    Auburnโ€™s Samir Doughty was the epitome of grace in the locker room. Cooperative, answered all Qs. โ€œTheyโ€™re gonna do their job the best they can. The referees donโ€™t try to tell me how to put a basketball in the hole, so Iโ€™m not gonna tell them how to make the right or wrong callโ€

    Steve Pearce, World Series MVP, once chased me, an intern, barefoot down the PNC Park hallway after I shot a video of him in the clubhouse for a Fatherโ€™s Day project. Nervous, I turned and asked if I did something wrong. โ€œI forgot to tell my dad: โ€˜I love you,โ€™ โ€œ Pearce said.

    This is usually how these things go, but Brian Kelly has ghosted everyone at Notre Dame. Just spoke to one assistant who saw reports on his phone tonight as he was exiting a recruit's home: "The news broke when I walked out of the house, so I look like a f----- a--hole."

    Paul Chryst is a Madison native and Wisconsin alum. He has spent 33 of his 56 years of life in town as either a kid, a Badgers QB or a UW coach. He was 67-26 and 43-18 in the Big Ten. He won three B1G West titles and two NY6 bowls. He was a two-time B1G coach of the year. Wow.

    Brian Kelly is about to lose in back-to-back weeks to Clark Lea and Mike Elko, two of his former DCs at Notre Dame.

    Asked Texas safety Michael Taaffe if thereโ€™s now a collective sense of being able to move forward without the hype of Arch Manningโ€™s season debut: โ€œWe always remind each other before the game that youโ€™re free. God already won the battle on the cross, so everything that we do has

    Wisconsin strength coach Brady Collins promised the Badgers he would jump in Lake Michigan if they won. He is a man of his word.

    John Michael Wozniak was a decorated narcotics officer who won Michael Jordan over after damaging his car. He had two MJ tats. He was nicknamed Hollywood. His son pictured him smiling Sunday as the world learned of his swagger, and his hair. theathletic.com/1792257/ #TheLastDance
