By Marcus Delaney , RF Sports Radio Mavericks voice Mavs Nation, after Monday's loss to a winless team, there is no better way to change the subject than a national TV game in San Antonio. Tonight is the I-35 rivalry, and it is a chance to show Monday was a blip.

By Danielle "Dee" Ortiz , RF Sports Radio WNBA voice Wings fans, the biggest Wings story of the offseason did not happen on the court. It happened on the radio Monday morning, when CEO Greg Bibb explained why Dallas is moving every home game to American Airlines Center in 2027. The facts The Wings will play all of their 2027 home games at the AAC, per KERA. Bibb told KERA's NTX Now on Monday, "We've simply outgrown the building," and said the team has essentially sold out UTA's College Park Center for three straight years. "We'll go from a little over 6,000 seats to nearly 20,000 seats per game," Bibb said, per KERA. Bibb said the move also brings the team into the city of Dallas, a long-term goal. He said the Wings have played about five games in Dallas over the last two seasons and generated "far more ticket sales and far more ticket revenue" there, per KERA. The long-term plan for a home at Memorial Auditorium after re...

By Coach Terrence Booker , RF Sports Radio DFW high school voice Coaches always tell kids to play for the name on the front of the jersey.

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, when the opposing coach goes out of his way to call your 3-5 team "very, very dangerous," you can take it two ways. It is either real respect or a coach setting a trap . With Kenny Dillingham, I think it is both. The facts Colorado (3-5, 1-4 Big 12) visits Arizona State (4-4, 2-3) Saturday at 5:30 p.m. MT, 6:30 p.m. CT, on ESPN2 at Mountain America Stadium, per Buffaloes Wire. "This is a very, very good football team that is very, very dangerous," Dillingham said, per Buffaloes Wire. The Denver Gazette lists Colorado as a 3-point underdog. There are ties everywhere. Dillingham and Colorado offensive coordinator Brennan Marion worked together at Arizona State in 2015. Dillingham is 1-1 against Colorado: the Buffs won 27-24 in Tempe in 2023, and ASU won 42-17 in Boulder last season, per Buffaloes Wire. Deion Sanders and Dillingham took over their programs in the same offseason, and the Gazette notes t...

By Mac Rivera , RF Sports Radio Baylor voice Bears fans, we have seen this movie before. Baylor blew out Arizona State earlier this season, had a week off, then came home for a hyped game against TCU and did not show up. Joe Klanderman remembers that, and on Monday he made it clear this week has to be different. The facts Baylor hosts Iowa State on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT on FS1 for Homecoming, per BaylorBears.com. The Bears are coming off a 41-9 win at UCF in Klanderman's first game as interim head coach after Dave Aranda was fired, per the Waco Tribune-Herald. "Every week has a history of its own, and I think the mentality of the team is in a different place right now," Klanderman said Monday, per the Tribune-Herald. Iowa State is 4-4 and 2-3 in the Big 12 in its first year after Matt Campbell left for Penn State, and the Cyclones beat Oklahoma State 51-49 on Saturday. "That stuff doesn't matter," Klanderman said. "We've got to go out ever...

By Hank Dalton , RF Sports Radio MLB voice Rangers fans, Monday was supposed to be a routine front-office update. Instead, Chris Young told us the Rangers' primary center fielder will not be ready for the start of next season, and the to-do list for this winter got a lot longer. The facts Evan Carter had arthroscopic surgery on his right hip last week to address a labral issue and hip impingement, Young said Monday, per the AP. He is not expected to be ready for the scheduled start of the 2027 season, and MLB.com reports a recovery of roughly six months. Young said the hip likely bothered Carter all year. Carter played 141 games, made all 112 of his defensive starts in center field and hit .194 with nine homers, 40 RBIs and 17 stolen bases, per the AP. The same day, the Rangers changed the coaching staff and front office.
