That’s a new NCAA indoor record

NFL

For the first time since 1983, there are no puppies, horses, or frogs. Anheuser-Busch isn’t advertising its iconic Budweiser brand during the Super Bowl. Instead, it’s donating the money it would have spent on the ad to coronavirus vaccination awareness efforts. Coke and Pepsi are also sitting on the sidelines for the Super Bowl.

NBA

Refs ejected Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray after what appeared to be an intentional shot to the groin area of Dallas’ Tim Hardaway Jr. in the second half of their game Monday night. It got upgraded to a flagrant-two foul on a video review.

Nuggets 117 – Dallas 113

Thunder 125 – Trail Blazers 122

San Antonio and New Orleans – Postponed

MLB

So long, Michael Brantley. Oh! Welcome back, Michael Brantley. He was headed to the Blue Jays until the Astros agreed to pay him $32 million on a two-year contract.

The Atlanta Braves are receiving requests to change to the Atlanta Hammers. It is in honor of hammering Hank Arron. Arron passed last Friday at the age of 86.

NCAA

A Baylor pole vaulter is receiving national attention. KC Lightfoot will soon try out for a chance to compete in the Olympics. In the meantime, he’s racking up ‘Athlete of the Week’ accolades from the Big-12 Conference and USA track and field. All he had to do to receive the honors? Set a new NCAA record! The official mark of the jump is 5.94 meters. That’s a new NCAA indoor record for the Baylor vaulter and a feat worthy of national attention.
