Shannon Sharpe has revealed a private conversation with Kirk Herbstreit following a disagreement between the two ESPN broadcasters over college football. The dispute arose from differing opinions on the current state of the Ohio State Buckeyes , and it seems the fallout has extended beyond just football talk. Sharpe had questioned the position of Buckeyes' head coach Ryan Day at Herbstreit's alma mater on First Take. Herbstreit publicly expressed his disapproval of the criticism on First Take, leading to a heated response from Stephen A.Smith and Sharpe. Kirk Herbstreit has 'obvious' explanation for Ohio State dominating Tennessee Shane Gillis torches Nick Saban in awkward College Gameday interaction "First Take tried to fire him, they thought he was done," Herbstreit said about the scrutiny directed at Day. "So I'm excited to see what they talk about on Monday after this performance. "They had him out. They were trying to find replacements. But here he is. He's still got his hat on. He's still coaching." On 'Night Cap' with Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, Sharpe discussed the situation with Herbstreit. He shared that they had spoken and Herbstreit had tried to explain his perspective. "My point was, and I don't know if he was talking to me, but I did not think the commentary was warranted," Sharpe said. "Yes, the Buckeyes won. Everyone knows Kirk Herbstreit was schooled at Ohio State. "I believe you can stand up for your friends and alma mater without taking a shot at your teammates. And I felt he was taking a shot at First Take. That's why I'm glad that Herbie reached out.

I know he is happy that Ohio State won and is good friends with Ryan Day. However, being good friends and then taking a shot are different situations. I just needed clarity: Are we teammates or not? That is all I needed to know. Because if we are not teammates, then let's throw caution to the wind." In response to the ex-Ohio State quarterback's statements, Sharpe had previously defended himself on First Take: "I am going to be a teammate. I will let it slide since everyone's at ESPN, especially because you have not taken the rocks you have taken. "I would have lit them up," the three-time Super Bowl champion declared. "Congratulations, Ohio State. You won. However, if we are going to be on the same team or work on the same network, then don't do that. "Kirk, Chris Fowler, I promise you, if you ever mention anything about any platform that I am on again, talking about, I wonder what they are going to say in negativity. I promise you ESPN doesn't have enough bosses to keep me off y'all for what I am going to say." Smith also responded fervently to Herbstreit following his remarks, as he too refuted the accusations against him: "Kirk Herbstreit, 'First Take tried to get him fired.' That is not true. I did. Not First Take. That was me, Stephen A. I'm going to own that," Smith asserted. "And what did I say specifically, Kirk Herbstreit, because you've got to quote me accurately, my brother. I watch you on College Football GameDay. I don't misquote you, don't misquote me. What I said was, this man Ryan Day, if he doesn't get a national championship he should go, even with a 66-10 record."

SP to exit MVA after Babri demolition post by Uddhav’s aide: MLA AzmiFirst downs and second guesses: Tony White leaving is no shocker. He could have left last year with the right offer. He made a difference. He helped build a good defensive culture. White is making a chess move to a future head coaching job, but it’s got a risk. He’s going to work for a Florida State head coach on the hot seat. Mike Norvell is hiring White and offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn to help save his job. FSU was a mess this season. I’m guessing the portal this off-season will make a bigger difference than the coordinators. Who should NU go after? I’d start with Syracuse defensive coordinator Elijah Robinson, who has connections with Rhule. You can hang out on my lawn (no flags please) if you want. But Old Man Football has some things to get off his chest. College football needs some adults to step up. The sport had a rough weekend. Great games were overshadowed by the images of fights and torn flags. It was ridiculous. When did planting a flag become an important thing? What does that even mean? That you conquered the field? It means winning isn’t enough. You have to rub your opponents’ nose in defeat. Hey Michigan: wasn’t that your fourth straight win over Ohio State? That means you won at Ohio Stadium two years ago, right? So why are you acting like it was Michigan’s first-ever win over Ohio State? Meanwhile, Buckeyes coach Ryan Day is watching the chaos much like Kevin Bacon in “Animal House.” Remain calm. All is well. On the flip side of this, when did the midfield logo become the sacred ground of college football? Teams stomp on the logo all game, bodies are slammed, blood spilled on it. But before and after it needs security detail? It’s part of the football field. Don’t plant a flag on it. Don’t worry if somebody steps on it. The best midfield logo I ever saw was the diamond-shaped “Big 8” logo at Memorial Stadium. Let’s go back to that. Let’s go back to respecting the game, and the opponent, too. Nebraska needs a lesson in that after the no-hand shake event on Friday. This is a generational debate. I’ve heard from both sides of Nebraska fans on this. My take: if you don’t respect your opponent, you don’t respect the game, either. Both are a problem. The handshake should be part of the Nebraska football identity. Attention to detail. Not creating needless distractions. Play the right way. All are important to the ultimate goal: winning. Is the pre-game drama the reason Iowa won? No. But it makes you wonder what are the priorities at Nebraska. Like the 2020 game when the Huskers complained about clapping while the quarterback called the signals. What’s the focus on? Lack of respect was a two-way street in Iowa City on Friday. Hawkeye linebacker Jay Higgins went up to Nebraska coach Matt Rhule and said that not shaking hands was a bad idea. I’ve never heard of a Nebraska player ever getting in the face of an opposing coach. Not Barry Switzer. Not Bill McCartney. Not any of them. I’m guessing if someone had done that to Kirk Ferentz, we’d never hear the end of it. Player entitlement is the rage in college football. They’re getting paid. That’s a good thing. But they’re also becoming bolder with their actions. Not all of it is good. Rivalries are fun. Rivalries are emotional. That’s what makes them great. It’s the extra rubbing the opponent’s face in it that crosses the line for me. Take the W, and the L, and head back to the locker room and wait until next time. The Nebraska-Iowa rivalry has never been hotter. I’d like to see coaches Ferentz and Rhule get control of it. We don’t need a flag plant or a brawl after next season’s game. I feel like we're headed that way. You know, a cool tradition to start in this rivalry would be a pre-game handshake from the teams at midfield. Oh, wait. That’s the Captains’ coin toss. There’s been a moment of civility and respect in the Iowa-Nebraska series. I saw it last January at the Outland Trophy Dinner in Omaha. The Outland honored Dan Young and Reese Morgan with the Tom Osborne Legacy Award. Both were high school coaches in Nebraska and Iowa and assistant coaches at NU and Iowa. There was a lot of love and respect in that room that night, including Ferentz and a group from Iowa City to represent Morgan. Iowa-Nebraska can be intense, nasty and emotional — and still about respect. Nebraskans and Iowans are actually a lot more alike than either side will ever admit. That’s what makes it such a good rivalry. There’s not much Creighton volleyball can do about being a No. 6 overall seed, other than winning at Nebraska or Louisville. Then again, that’s what CU is going to have to do — at Penn State — to get to the Final Four. Until the Big East gets built up in volleyball, that’s the bottom line. If Nebraska and Creighton both make the Final Four, guess who would meet in the national semifinals on Dec. 19? Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Thousands of mail-in ballots were not counted in Nevada. Why?
Palantir Technologies ( PLTR 6.22% ) has witnessed a tremendous increase in its market value in 2024 thanks to a remarkable surge of 313% in the company's stock price so far this year. The company has a market cap of $162 billion as of this writing, up from around $35 billion at the beginning of the year. However, a closer look at Palantir's valuation indicates that it may have run ahead of itself. The software platform specialist has a price-to-sales ratio of a whopping 63, while its trailing earnings multiple stands at 345. Not surprisingly, Wall Street isn't expecting much upside from the stock over the next year. The 20 analysts covering Palantir have a 12-month median price target of $38, which would be a 46% drop from current levels. If that does indeed happen, its valuation could drop big time in the coming year. Of course, the company may be able to justify its expensive valuation thanks to the rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) software platforms, a market where it is the leading player. But if cracks emerge in Palantir's growth story, especially as stiff competition grows from bigger and smaller players in the enterprise AI software space, there is a good chance investors will start booking profits -- leading the stock to fall. This could pave the way for Arm Holdings ( ARM 2.13% ) and Applied Materials ( AMAT 0.57% ) to overtake Palantir's valuation in the next year. Let's see why these two companies may be worth more than Palantir in 2025. 1. Arm Holdings With a market cap of just under $148 billion, Arm Holdings isn't very far from Palantir's valuation. And Arm stock has delivered impressive returns of 87% in 2024 due to the important role the company plays in the global semiconductor market. Arm licenses its architecture and intellectual property (IP) to semiconductor companies and consumer electronics manufacturers so that they can develop different types of chips such as central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and microprocessors, among other things. The company's chip architecture is used across multiple industries including smartphones, data centers, computers, and automaking. Arm enjoys a healthy market share in many verticals. For instance, in mobile applications, it has a market share of more than 99%. Its share of the consumer electronics chip market stands at 30%. Even better, it is gaining ground in fast-growing niches such as cloud computing and networking equipment, where it now commands 15% and 28% market shares, respectively, as compared to 9% and 23% a couple of years ago. And its share of the automotive chip market has increased to 47% from 43% in a couple of years. In all, Arm estimates that its architecture and IP control 47% of the global chip market's $214 billion value. The company expects to benefit from the growing complexity of chips deployed in its end markets thanks to the emergence of technologies such as AI. And that's why it has seen an increase in demand for its architecture licenses. It ended the second quarter of fiscal 2025 with 39 Arm Total Access licenses, up from 33 in the preceding quarter. The number of Arm Flexible Access licensees increased to 269 from 241 in the preceding quarter. This increase in the number of licenses it's selling bodes well because chips developed using these licenses will result in royalty revenue. The company already gets around 50% of its royalty revenue from chip architectures launched more than 10 years ago. Management expects its revenue in the current fiscal year to jump to $3.95 billion from $3.23 billion in fiscal 2024, an increase of 22%. Its earnings guidance of $1.55 per share would be a 22% increase from fiscal 2024 levels of $1.27 per share. The company's growth is expected to accelerate in the next fiscal year, with revenue predicted to jump 25% to $4.93 billion and earnings expected to increase by 32% to $2.05 per share. Analysts forecast this stronger growth will lead to more upside for the stock. The 12-month median price target of $160 would be a 14% jump from current levels. As such, there is a good chance that it could overtake Palantir's valuation next year, especially considering that Arm's earnings growth then is expected to be stronger than Palantir's estimated bottom-line growth of 25%. 2. Applied Materials Applied Materials hasn't set the stock market on fire in 2024, having gained just 13% so far this year, but 2025 could be much better for the company. Global spending on semiconductor equipment is expected to increase by a much faster pace of 24% in 2025 following a 4% increase this year, according to the industry association SEMI. Applied Materials sells manufacturing equipment and provides services and other software for the semiconductor and display industries. The company's revenue in fiscal 2024 (which ended on Oct. 27) increased just 2% to $27.1 billion. Its adjusted earnings, on the other hand, jumped 7% to $8.65 per share. Consensus estimates are projecting a 9% increase in its revenue in the current fiscal year to $29.6 billion, along with a 10% increase in earnings to $9.54 per share. And there is a good chance the company has stronger growth thanks to the rising demand for AI-related chipmaking equipment. Management said on its November earnings conference call that the booming demand for memory capacity in AI data centers led to a 60% increase in the company's sales of DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) equipment in fiscal 2024. This trend is likely to continue as the demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that's deployed in AI data centers is expected to double next year. At the same time, Applied Materials is likely to benefit from the transition to more advanced chipmaking technology for tackling AI workloads, which should increase its addressable market substantially. All this tells us why analysts are upbeat about the company's prospects over the next year. The stock carries a 12-month median price target of $225, which would be a 23% increase. Given its current market cap of almost $151 billion, it won't be surprising to see it overtake Palantir's valuation over the next year. Applied Materials trades at just 19 times forward earnings. So, if the market decides to reward its stronger growth with a richer valuation, the stock could easily deliver stronger gains than analysts are estimating.
