NCIS: The Real Behind-the-Scenes Problem That Almost Got Mark Harmon Out

NCIS premiered in 2003 on CBS, after the show’s main characters appeared in a backdoor episode of the JAG Naval Justice series, a show that was also the brainchild of Donald P. Bellisario, and that culminated almost two years after the premiere of the crime drama starring Mark Harmon as Leroy Gibbs. Harmon stayed on NCIS for 18 seasons, saying goodbye to fans after the fourth episode of the nineteenth installment. However, he remains as executive producer, a role he assumed from the beginning of the series. For many, the actor’s departure was not a surprise, since from before the premiere of the current season, rumors indicated that he would only return with his role for a handful of episodes. What NCIS fans probably did not know is that Mark Harmon was about to leave the C...

Conference realignment slows as Big 12, Pac-12 may be realizing they’re worth more together than apart

Conference realignment has become an increasingly frustrating attempt to squeeze dollars out of a system that has consolidated resources at the top. The best brands and most of the money are among those 32 teams in the Big Ten and SEC -- and the networks that own their major television rights (ESPN and Fox). Everything else has become a scramble to the point that one source within the Big 12 said a worst-case scenario would be nothing happening in the league. That would mean staying at 12 teams with BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF In the fold after Texas and Oklahoma leave before the 2025 season. Some Big 12 athletic directors are worried that the conference's media rights dollars won't stretch far enough to add more programs without their payouts being diminished. Outgoing commissi...

‘Bazball’ – England Cricket happy with the results but not the phrase

'Bazball' hasn't gone down well with English cricket officialdom... the phrase that is. The results certainly have. The head of England's men's cricket programme doesn't like the "Bazball" but is surprised how quickly the test team's new approach has clicked under coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes. England had won only one of their previous 17 tests when former Black Caps skipper McCullum was put in charge. They then beat New Zealand three nil and the toppled India. "I never thought it would work like this," Key told BBC Test Match Special. "There will be times when it won't work, but for now it's been fantastic to see." Key, however, felt the term 'Bazball' did not do justice to the hard work put in by McCullum and Stokes. "I'm not mad on Bazball the ph...

"I'm definitely gonna find out how many beers fit in this thing, that's for sure," Smith said when asked how he would be celebrating, later estimating he would have about 20 jugs' worth. In an Instagram video filmed before he took the trophy back to his Florida home, Smith confirmed the results of his celebratory experiment. "I guess everyone's been asking how many beers fit in the Claret Jug, it's pretty much exactly two," the 28-...
