Anthony Schlegel doesn’t play for Ohio State anymore, but the Buckeyes assistant strength and conditioning coach isn’t afraid to make

a tackle if someone decides to run onto the field. During the Cincinnati-Ohio State game on Saturday night, the former Buckeye – and

NFL linebacker – stepped up to restore order after a fan charged the field.

Banzhaf has opened a useful new legal front in the swelling campaign to pressure Snyder to change the name. He has filed one legal petition and threatened more to block renewal of federal broadcast licenses for radio and TV stations that routinely use the team’s name on the air.

That would include almost every broadcast outlet in the country.

BBC’s Steve Leonard wanted to discover who dives the fastest in free fall: A peregrine falcon—known to be fastest animal on Earth—or two skydivers in tandem. To test that they jumped off a hot air balloon from 10,000 feet. Here’s what happened:
