Ole Miss ' 24-17 loss to Florida continues a familiar storyline that has plagued even its best seasons in the modern era. The Rebels have never played in the SEC Championship Game -- which began in 1992 -- and must go all the way back to 1963 to find their last conference title. Great players and coaches have come through Oxford, delivering huge moments and big wins, but over the course of a season, the Rebels have too often struggled to string together enough successful moments to propel them into SEC title contention. The last time Ole Miss was on the field, a record crowd of 68,126 stormed a rain-soaked field after the Rebels downed Georgia 28-10. The Bulldogs were the highest-ranked visiting team to lose in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and the College Football Playoff implications were clear in the wake of the win. Tiebreaker scenarios weren't favorable to Ole Miss in terms of making the SEC title game, but with a head-to-head win against Georgia, the Rebels were well-positioned to compete for an at-large spot in the 12-team playoff bracket -- as long as they finished the season 10-2. With Florida and Mississippi State on the schedule for the final two games, Ole Miss spent part of the off-week thinking about the future. Lane Kiffin discussed the potential advantages of not playing in the SEC Championship Game, and fans took to social media to argue for playoff inclusion, and even a top-8 seed that could bring a home-field playoff game in the first round. Instead, Ole Miss let history rear its ugly head Saturday. The loss to the Gators eliminates the Rebels from SEC title contention again and potentially cost them a shot at the College Football Playoff. Those comments about the SEC Championship Game came from a coach speaking to other coaches concerned about what a third loss would do to a team's playoff profile. But context will be lost, because fans will remember only that Lane Kiffin was discussing how it might be better not to play in the title game -- just before a devastating loss that crushed their playoff hopes. Now in his fifth year at Ole Miss, Kiffin has already achieved sustained success not seen since Johnny Vaught, the coach responsible for six SEC championships and all three of the program's claimed national titles. Kiffin has raised the standard and expectations, given Ole Miss an identity and utilized the tools of modern roster construction to field competitive teams without needing total rebuilds. The Rebels lean heavily on the transfer portal, but not all portal additions are short-term solutions. The ability to find players who can contribute for multiple years is as advantageous as landing a blue-chip high school prospect. While the locker room is a wide-ranging collection of backgrounds and personalities, it's Kiffin who has pulled them together and kept the program moving in a winning direction year after year. But Saturday's loss will sting for Kiffin, who had a chance to follow up the Georgia win with a College Football Playoff run. With multiple New Year's Six appearances, Kiffin's Ole Miss program was among those most expected to benefit from an expanded playoff field. The Rebels could have made the CFP in previous years under this year's format, and with the Georgia win in the bag, all Kiffin needed to do was land the plane. While the game itself lacked the drama of others, it brought back memories of Ole Miss facing Arkansas in 2015. After an early season win against Alabama and victories against division foes Texas A&M and Auburn , the Rebels needed only to hold serve for a trip to the SEC title game. They had the Razorbacks seemingly stopped on a 4th-and-25 in overtime until Hunter Henry's baffling one-handed lateral over his head was picked up off the bounce by Alex Collins and advanced for a first down. Arkansas proceeded to score and walk it off with a 2-point conversion to win in Oxford. On this day 8 years ago, Arkansas converted a 4th and 25 in OT. Shortly after, the Razorbacks scored the game-winning TD and 2-point conversion. pic.twitter.com/C0igPwYAKo Many remember the incredible sequence as the moment that cost Ole Miss the SEC West. But in truth the same team threw a wrench into Ole Miss' postseason hopes in 2015 and 2024 -- Florida. The Rebels were up to No. 3 in rankings after beating Alabama, but it was a loss in The Swamp that narrowed the margin for error throughout October and November. Florida twice crushing Ole Miss' lofty hopes carries some poetic intrigue. It was the Rebels who upset the Gators in 2008, prompting Tim Tebow's famous "promise" after the game. Tebow followed through on his word and delivered the Gators a second national title in three years. With Florida's win on Saturday, the Gators are now 3-0 against Ole Miss since "the promise". With Florida and Ole Miss playing this weekend, we had to bring this back. Tim Tebow's "The Promise" speech after the Rebels upset No. 4 Florida in 2008. pic.twitter.com/sDEVTeBLts Ole Miss will now move on to the Egg Bowl and root for the kind of chaos that arrived on its doorstep this weekend. If the Rebels win, a 9-3 record with a win against Georgia will get a look from the selection committee. But as a three-loss team with multiple losses to unranked teams is not going to win a lot of tiebreaker scenarios. The expanded CFP format was seemingly built for Ole Miss to make its first-ever playoff appearance, and after logging one of its biggest wins in program history the job was seemingly done. But those first appearances can be deceiving. The mirage of Ole Miss' playoff push was revealed to be another Ole Miss football nightmare.
NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs ‘ lawyers tried for a third time Friday to persuade a judge to let the hip-hop mogul out of jail while he awaits his sex trafficking trial, but a decision won’t come until next week as prosecutors warned of his “concerted effort” from behind bars to disrupt the case. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he’ll rule promptly on Combs’ bail request after the defense and prosecution file letters by noon Monday fleshing out some of the arguments they made during a two-hour hearing in Manhattan federal court. Combs’ lawyers pitched having him await trial under around-the-clock surveillance either at his mansion on an island near Miami Beach or — after the judge scoffed at that location — at an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Their $50 million bail proposal, secured by his Florida home, essentially amounts to keeping Combs on house arrest instead of in custody at the troubled Brooklyn federal jail where he’s been held for 67 days since his September arrest. Under their plan, Combs’ lawyers said he’ll be under near-total restrictions on his ability to see or contact anyone but them. But prosecutors argued that no bail conditions can mitigate Combs’ “risk of obstruction and dangerousness to others.” Combs has routinely flouted jail rules while locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, prosecutors said, accusing him of attempting to interfere with witnesses and taint the jury pool. “Really, this amounts to the defendant paying his way out of custody,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told Subramanian. Defense lawyer Anthony Ricco countered that the prosecution’s portrayal of Combs as “a lawless person who doesn’t follow instructions” or “an out-of-control individual who has to be detained” is inaccurate. Another Combs lawyer, Teny Geragos, added that given the strict release conditions they’ve proposed, “it would be impossible for him not to follow rules.” Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings. His trial is slated to begin May 5. Two other judges previously concluded that the Bad Boy Records founder would be a danger to the community if he is freed, and an appeals court judge last month denied Combs’ immediate release while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request. Friday’s hearing was the second time Combs was in court this week. On Tuesday, a judge blocked prosecutors from using as evidence papers that were seized from his cell during a jail-wide sweep for contraband and weapons. As he entered through a side door, Combs waved to relatives including his mother and several of his children in the courtroom gallery, tapping his hand to his heart and blowing kisses at them. He then hugged his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, before sitting at the defense table. Combs was not handcuffed or shackled and wore a beige jail uniform, occasionally pulling a pair of reading glasses from his pocket as he peered at papers in front of him. Prosecutors contend that while incarcerated the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has orchestrated social media campaigns aimed at influencing potential jurors. They allege that he has also attempted to leak materials he believes would help his case and is contacting potential witnesses via third parties. “Simply put, the defendant cannot be trusted,” Slavik argued. In renewing their push for Combs’ release, his lawyers sought to undercut the strength of a potential key piece of evidence: a March 2016 video showing him hitting and kicking his then-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie , in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. Prosecutors contend the assault happened during a “Freak Off,” an event in which they allege Combs used his “power and prestige” to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers. Combs’ lawyers said in court papers that newly unearthed evidence refutes that, and that the video, which first aired on CNN in May, was “a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship” between Combs and Cassie. Slavik, responding to defense claims that the recording was manipulated or taken out of context, said prosecutors don’t have the full version because Combs paid hotel staff $100,000 “to make the original video go away.” “This is a case about violence,” Slavik told Subramanian in a final plea to keep Combs locked up. “The defendant has engaged in physical, sexual and emotional abuse of his romantic partners for years. ... He’s hit. He’s kicked. He’s dragged.”

(AP) — Dejounte Murray plans to return to the New Orleans Pelicans ' lineup on Wednesday night for the first time since fracturing his left hand in a season-opening victory over Chicago on Oct. 23. And when Murray takes the court against the Toronto Raptors , his mother will be on his mind. After practice on Tuesday, Murray discussed his impending return and disclosed more details about the previously unspecified “personal matters” that caused him to leave the team during the final days of the preseason. His mother had a stroke, he said. “It was tough to leave and go deal with that. As she got better, she wanted me to come play,” Murray said of his last-minute decision to start against Chicago. He added that his hand injury near the end of that game was God's way of telling him, “‘Nah, you need to stay with your mom.’” “I was more concerned about my mother. That was my priority,” Murray continued. “I wasn’t really worried about my recovery.” Murray's mother has recovered well, he said, while he is “healthy and ready to help this team.” “I’m ready to hoop. Play for my mother — she’s going to be watching," Murray said. “I’m ready to compete, bring that winning spirit.” The Pelicans (4-14) certainly could use the help, having lost 14 of 16 games since opening the season with a pair of victories. Injuries have ravaged the roster. At times, all five starters have been out. Star power forward Zion Williamson has missed 12 games this season — one with an illness and 11 with a hamstring injury. Herb Jones has been sidelined by a shoulder strain and Brandon Ingram's status is in doubt after he sat out practice on Tuesday with calf soreness that also sidelined him during a loss on Monday night at Indiana. But at least two starters — Murray and fellow guard CJ McCollum — are expected to play against the Raptors. “I don’t care how many games we’ve lost. I just know every time I step on the floor I feel like we can win games,” said Murray, who had 14 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in his lone game with the Pelicans. "That’s just my mentality, and I feel like it can carry over to a lot of guys.” AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Maverick McNealy steadied himself after a rugged start Saturday with a 4-under 66 and caught up with Vince Whaley in a wild third round at the RSM Classic in which a half-dozen players had at least a share of the lead. McNealy looked as though he might have the lead when he hit wedge on the final hole that rolled just by the cup and settled 8 feet away. He missed the putt, still in great position to go after his first PGA Tour victory. Whaley, also winless on tour, birdied the 18th for a 63 and will be playing in the final group for the first time on the PGA Tour. McNealy, who joined him at 14-under 198, also shared the 54-hole lead in 2021 at the season opener in Napa, California. Whaley was playing with a sense of freedom not everyone has at the final PGA Tour event this year. He was playing on a medical extension and fulfilled the necessary points in July. The next step was finishing in the top 125 in the FedEx Cup. He secured that last week with a tie for fifth in the Bermuda Championship. Everything else feels like a bonus, and there could be no greater perk than a victory to get into the Masters and PGA Championship, along with a two-year exemption. “I've really got nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I'm just excited for the opportunity,” Whaley said. Opportunity abounds going into the final round. Daniel Berger shot a 63 and played his way into the final group, just two shots behind. He was tied with former Sea Island winner Mackenzie Hughes (65), Michael Thorbjornsen (67) and Patrick Fishburn (69). Berger and Thorbjornsen were among those who arrived at Sea Island outside the top 125, the number required to keep full status on tour on next year. Thorbjornsen already has that locked up as the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking. Berger needed a big week and he's delivering, even though he says he doesn't feel stress. Berger missed 19 months with a back injury that he feared might end his career. Now he's healthy enough to have played 27 times this year. “Regardless when I play well, I'm going to be fine,” said Berger, who played in the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. "When you miss that much amount of time it takes a little bit of a while to get back. It's just a matter of being patient and eventually good things come around.” Henrik Norlander and Hayden Springer, also on the the wrong side of No. 125, each shot 63 and were among those tied for 12th, a position that currently would let them move into the top 125. Joel Dahmen, who had to make a 5-foot par putt on Friday to make the cut, shot 70 and was tied for 61st. He is at No. 124 and his future depends on a big round Sunday, along with how Thorbjornsen, Berger, Norlander and Springer fare. Closer to the top, eight players were separated by three shots. That includes Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore and No. 1 amateur in the world who already has three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour and was going after another one.

What we know: Woolworths chief executive Amanda Bardwell on Wednesday apologised to shoppers for the bare shelves, saying the company is “deeply sorry for our customers who, rightly, are very frustrated right now” ( Nine ); Bardwell concedes she doesn’t know when supermarket shelves in affected stores across Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT will be restocked, adding that a fair offer to workers is on the table, arguing “we pay 40% above award rate and we're offering above CPI”; The fallout has spread to include customers of the supply chain provider operated by Woolworths, with stock shortages now affecting Endeavour Group, which operates alcohol retailer Dan Murphy’s and BWS bottle shops ( news.com.au ); The shortfalls, which have cost Woolworths $50m so far, have been caused by striking United Workers Union workers picketing Woolworths distribution centres, preventing stock from being delivered to stores; The union is pushing for an immediate 25% increase in wages, and a further 30% over the next two years; It is also railing against new requirements for warehouse staff to achieve a 100% performance target when picking up items at speed, describing the framework as “dangerous, inhumane and unsafe”; The system uses surveillance technology and monitoring to direct each worker’s movement and output, with warehouse workers wearing headsets through which they are told what items to pick and from where, via AI-generated algorithms ( The Conversation ); Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones urged all parties to resolve the issue so “Australian have access to their groceries over the coming weeks ahead” ( ABC ); Woolworths has applied to the Fair Work Commission to force the union to allow safe passage of non-union members and vehicles into distribution centres, with the matter to be heard on Friday morning. The Coalition has hit out at Labor over Australia’s support of UN resolutions calling for Israel to “end its unlawful presence” in Palestinian territories. What we know: Australia joined 157 other countries in calling for Israel to “bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible”, after previously abstaining from similar votes ( AAP ); The resolution also recognised the “inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination and the right to their independent state”; Australia also moved its vote from no to an abstention on a UN division being resourced to promote Palestinian rights, and again voted no on a motion demanding Israel withdraw from the occupied Syrian Golan, with both motions passing; “Our only hope is working within the international community to push for an end to the cycle of violence and work toward a two-state solution,” said a spokesperson for Foreign Minister Penny Wong; Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said “I think we should be standing with allies like the United States instead ... the Albanese government is chasing Green votes and has been prepared to sacrifice the wellbeing of the Jewish community in Australia to do so” ( SBS ); It comes as Palestinian medics report that Israeli airstrikes killed at least 47 people across the enclave on Wednesday, including a bombing of a tent encampment in al-Mawasi that killed at least 17 people ( Reuters ); Eleven people were killed in three airstrikes on areas in central Gaza, including six children and a medic, with five of the dead reportedly queuing outside a bakery; Another Israeli airstrike hit three houses in Gaza City, killing at least 10 people, with many victims still trapped under the rubble; A further nine Palestinians were killed by tank fire in Rafah, near the border with Egypt; It comes amid fears that the ceasefire in Lebanon could collapse, with Hezbollah launching a mortar attack, and Israeli air strikes killing ten people ( BBC ). Police charge sheets have revealed more details about the historical charges laid against broadcaster Alan Jones. The charges include 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault, 11 of assault with act of indecency, two of sexually touching another person, and two of common assault ( ABC ). Jones is alleged to have kissed one complainant “using his tongue” in 2017, while another complainant alleges the broadcaster fondled his genitals in 2001. Between 2008 and 2009, Jones is alleged to have committed 11 offences against a man known as the third complainant, including genital touching. A fourth complainant meanwhile alleges Jones stroked his right thigh, touched his bottom and genitals. Jones was arrested and charged with 26 offences last month, including aggravated indecent assault, against nine male victims ( The Saturday Paper ).

The Greens’ Sarah Hanson-Young, who chairs the greenwashing inquiry, accused the papers of attempting “to disguise paid propaganda as actual news” at a time when “truth and facts are under threat” ( The Guardian ). It follows News Corp tabloids launching a gas-industry sponsored series of stories presented as news on its front pages. The page-one headlines warned Australia risked descending into the “dark ages” and must “step on the gas” as the “only way to avoid higher bills, blackouts”, with some stories marked as “exclusive” and a “special report”. The main news piece quoted four gas industry leaders calling for increased gas extraction, and included no alternative views nor assessment of whether the claims were accurate. It comes after the mining lobby last week successfully pressured Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to abandon a deal with the Greens to pass environmental protection reforms ( The Saturday Paper ). South Korea’s opposition parties have moved to impeach the president after successfully overturning his shock declaration of martial law. Heavily armed troops encircled parliament before lawmakers climbed walls to re-enter the building and unanimously voted to lift President Yoon Suk Yeol’s order ( Associated Press ). The main liberal opposition Democratic Party and five smaller opposition parties have submitted a motion to impeach, which could be put to a vote by the end of the week. The impeachment would require the support of two-thirds of parliament, and at least six justices of the nine-member Constitutional Court would have to endorse it to remove him. The Democratic Party and other small opposition parties together have 192 seats, just short of the 200 required, so require a handful of additional votes from Yoon’s ruling conservative People Power Party (PPP), which has vowed to vote against the proposal. The vote that rejected martial law included the votes of 18 lawmakers from the PPP.
