  • A Weekly Look at the Matchups Featuring Outland Trophy Candidates Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0), 7 P.M
    IN THE TRENCHES: WEEK 7 OUTLAND TROPHY MATCHUPS PRESENTED BY THE FOOTBALL WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA A weekly look at the matchups featuring Outland Trophy candidates Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0), 7 p.m. CT on CBS This week’s Outland Trophy feature puts us in Tuscaloosa again for an SEC matchup we’ve been looking forward to for a while. After all, these two cross-division rivals don’t meet very often. It’s the two SEC division leaders facing off, with the Bulldogs facing their third Top-15 foe in a row after dominating No. 7 Auburn 27-6 at home and then humbling No. 14 Tennessee 44-21 last week in Knoxville. Fans are scratching their heads regarding Alabama’s defense after giving up a school-record 647 total yards in a 63-48 win at Ole Miss last week. The timing may be right for a Georgia offense that is only 34th nationally but still averaging 420.0 yards per game. But it’s the ‘Bama offense we’re dwelling on here and its three offensive lineman from our Watch List. This trio – center Landon Dickerson (#69, Gr., Hickory, N.C.), left guard Deonte Brown (#65, Decatur, Ala.) and left of- fensive tackle Alex Leatherwood (#70, Pensacola, Fla.) – is powering the country’s top scoring team at 51.0 points per game playing three games within the SEC, and its third-best offense cranking at 560.3 yards per game. Nobody has stopped it yet. The 723 total yards the Tide gained at Ole Miss was its second-most ever and the 63 points it scored marked the 16th consecutive game that Alabama has scored 35-or-more points, the longest streak in major-college football history.

  • JUST MY TYPE Cast Bios BETHANY JOY LENZ (Vanessa Sills
    ‘JUST MY TYPE Cast Bios BETHANY JOY LENZ (Vanessa Sills) – Best known to Hallmark Channel viewers for her starring role in 2018’s “Royal Matchmaker” and more recently, in “A Valentine’s Match” and “Bottled with Love,” Bethany Joy Lenz also served up a memorable performance as a guest star in two episodes of ABC’s hit series “Grey’s Anatomy” last season. In addition, Lenz joined the second season of USA’s much lauded Carlton Cuse series “Colony” as resistance fighter Morgan with a major recurring arc through the entire season. In May 2017, she co-starred in the Lionsgate film, Extortion, with Barkhad Abdi and Eion Bailey. In the last few years, Lenz was the female lead opposite JoBeth Williams and Bruce Greenwood in Jerry Bruckheimer’s thriller pilot “Home” for TNT. She also played the title role in E!’s pilot “Songbyrd,” based on the life of multiple Grammy winning songwriter Diane Warren, and she had pivotal arcs on “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and “Dexter.” From 2002 to 2011, Lenz was the female lead of The CW’s “One Tree Hill,” for which she regularly directed episodes. She was also in rotation as a director on the award-winning web series “Nasty Habits.” An accomplished singer trained by the Director of the Brooklyn College of Opera, Lenz fell in love with musical theatre at a young age. She was raised and trained on Rogers & Hammerstein, Gershwin and Sondheim, but mostly performs acoustic indie-rock and bluegrass when she tours. Her music credits include five indie albums, an extensive tour with Michelle Branch and Gavin DeGraw and a recording contract with Epic Records.

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
