Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans (1996-2003), Dallas Cowboys (2004) HOF-eligible for a decade-plus, George was named a semifinalist back in November for the first time. More than deserving of a gold jacket, George holds many Titans/Oilers franchise records, including for career rushing yards (10,441). He rushed for more than 1,200 yards in each of his first five seasons — joining Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and LaDainian Tomlinson as the only other two players to do so in NFL history. George had the individual production, including seven seasons with 300-plus carries and 1,000-plus rush yards, but he also helped the Tennessee Titans…

There was no slow-motion, no instant replay, no transponders or loop sensors, and even a perfectly timed photo at the start/finish line provided little help. Lee Petty was eventually declared the winner but not until after three days of close examinations. Before the first tire test at the Brickyard, fans crowded the streets near the track as the haulers arrived, and nearly 50,000 of them ventured inside to watch. Nearly 30 years later, Rusty Wallace is still proud he beat Dale…

Evan Drellich | The Athletic $: MLB has requested federal mediation for labor negotiations, which has been described as a “win-win” for the league. The players would have to agree to it, so if the players say no, the league wins because dummies will think the players are obstructing the process. If the players say yes, a mediator would likely skew things in the league’s direction since the league hasn’t budged from the status quo.

Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun feels that a bowler becoming the new Test captain of the India National Cricket Team will be “challenging”. Virat Kohli had stepped down as India’s Test captain last month after India’s 2-1 Test series defeat in South Africa against Dean Elgar-led side and so far the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not made any announcement regarding the new Test skipper.
