John Harbaugh is now the New York Giants' head coach. This move came after President Donald Trump suggested NFL teams should quickly hire him. Harbaugh had just been let go by the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons. He seemed grateful for the president's support, saying football is widely followed at all levels. Meanwhile, Trump recently shared his thoughts on two big Supreme Court cases about women's sports. He criticized justices who seemed to support transgender athletes, saying they might lose credibility. In other news, the national anthem before an NBA game in London was interrupted by a protest. Someone shouted, "Leave Greenland alone, " which got some applause from the crowd. The Indiana Hoosiers won their first national title, led by Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza. They beat the Miami Hurricanes 27-21, finishing the season undefeated. Trump was there to watch the game.
After the game, Miami quarterback Carson Beck faced criticism for not shaking hands with the opposing team. He quickly left the field without the usual post-game courtesy. The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott after a tough playoff loss. The team lost to the Denver Broncos in overtime, adding to McDermott's struggles during his time with the Bills. Curt Cignetti has made a big impact at Indiana, leading them to a national championship in just two years. Some sports experts think this might be one of the greatest coaching jobs ever. Baker Mayfield, now sitting out, took a shot at his former coach, Kevin Stefanski. He responded to a critic on social media, defending his time in Cleveland. The New England Patriots are slight favorites against the Denver Broncos, despite Denver starting a backup quarterback. Sports analysts discussed why the odds are so close.
