Hypothetical question: You've replaced Larry Scott as commissioner and have deemed every school has to adopt the iconography of an existing professional team of your choice. Who gets what?
Devin Williams had a microscopic ERA and sub-1.0 WHIP with the Brewers. He turns that into a $8.6m guaranteed payday with the Yankees. The poor guy's ERA has been above and generally floated around 10.0 ERA this season since then.
Trump directs the DOJ to release GOP election clerk serving nine years for election tampering. Little does he know, she is being held on state-level charges
Trump can achieve almost anything. The graphic they shared yesterday for the announcement of the NFL draft coming to DC showed the sunset behind the Capitol in the east.
APR requirements (ie, graduation rates) were suspended for Covid but are now in effect again. The 2023-2024 results just dropped. Akron not only sucks at playing football. They suck at playing school (914, which is below the required 930 level). They are now ineligible for post-season, not that it was a significant possibility.

A millennial's take on Gen-X

Yes, but the other side of it is once you drill past the artistic types from that generation, Gen-X is by far the most pro-Trump.
I don't think that is true.

50-64 age group and most of 40-49 would be Gen-X.

Happy Willie Mays' birthday to all who celebrate.
I should always remember this. My youngest sister shares her birthday with The Say Hey Kid.
Gregg Popovich goes to his first press conference. Keep well, Pops.

Knicks come back from down 20 to win game 1 in OT. granted, the Celtics missed 45 (of 60) 3 pointers, but still impressive.
i had turned it off at some point and then realized that the Knicks had the lead back to 5 midway thru the 3rd quarter.
There have been a bunch of close games lately. When I turned in, Brunson was on a three-pointer tear.
Journalist says F1 is boring, but Formula E is fun because it purposely gives inferior tires to its racers so that there's a challenge to overcome.

Surprisingly, a good article from HuffPo

These are the most unserious politicians I will ever see in my lifetime. Unbelievable.
I forwarded the link to a friend who was a geography major at Cal. Haven’t heard back yet.
Trump slights the Canadians. Again.

Texas Longhorn football is paying roughly the same amount for their roster as the Miami Marlin's active roster.
Will probably get a better return on investment too.

I mean, Akron barely beat Colgate. Colgate wasn't even good for an FCS level team. Colgate was ranked 100 out of 119 FCS.
