Thought I was going crazy when I was trying to find one yesterday Is it a good beer? Not really. Is it my favorite beer? No. Do I enjoy drinking one at a Pittsburgh sporting event? I do. Do I enjoy billionaires that are not from here coming in and taking out things that are from here? I do not

remember when one of his players absolutely destroyed someone's leg in a dirty slide that derailed the pirates' seaso in a way that benefitted the cubs directly and then joe maddon joked that the injured player was out with "plantar fasciitis?" i do. i remember it.

I could not suspend my disbelief at this plot line. There's a part-alien high school QB with the ability to perhaps destroy the entire world, despite having an apparently human life form and being raised by a loving mother. A kid like that is going to Ohio State or more likely Liberty

This is probably the funniest leopards eating faces yet tbh. You can have the man's kids. You can build his businesses. You can cover his crimes. And he'll still throw you overboard with no explanation.

It's not just that Tech is raising ticket prices. It's raising ticket prices alongside a veiled threat. One that more and more schools are making these days. It's on the fans to ensure we can compete. Invest to Win. Or else... www.foiaball.com/p/virginia-t...

Virginia Tech's 'Invest to Win' campaign puts the onus on you
If they can't compete, it's their fans' fault.

Millions of reasons why I hate this (and most of real life right now), but everyone acting like they have no free will might make me the angriest. "We can't simply make MORE money, we have no choice but to make the MOST money even if we're screwing our future selves. It's out of our hands!"

You should assume anything you put on the web is vulnerable to being deleted overnight and plan accordingly. So many companies also don't seem to realise Twitter/Facebook/Instagram are innaccessble now to people without an account. Your menu is in three pinned posts? Can't see any of them.

The Protect College Sports Act is now headed to the Senate, where it will most likely die, because Democrats added a $5m cap on coaches salaries. Bill was never about saving college sports, it was about controlling labor and keeping the riches at the admin level.

Syracuse pissing away 6 points on special teams is a new low, only because that’s usually the one thing we’re good at doing

We have reached the “Syracuse can’t stop the run” portion of an ACC loss

Oh Fran just got a penalty? Neat

Andy @andrewpregler.com · 18/09/2026
So I think Syracuse is now in the position where everyone knows they commit penalties so they will get flagged more often

Andy @andrewpregler.com · 18/09/2026
So Syracuse having a drive end in a TD that could have ended in a long FG attempt into the open end of Heinz feels very much like the kinda voodoo that this place has out for the Orange

Gonna say, I don’t love that Syracuse is only throwing behind the line but loving the formations and play designs?

Very early but Syracuse continues to look not very good at running the ball, mostly getting blown up at the line.

So much work by my colleagues went into this. (To be clear I did absolutely none of that work, but saying "so much work by my colleagues went into this" is an old trick that makes people think you must have been really helpful. Keep that one in mind for when you need it)

Does your college football roster cost $8M or $50M? Here's our report on 68 teams (Gift Article)
The best teams are, on average, the ones paying players the most, but there's a wide disparity between the schools at the top and the bottom of major conferences.

vastly oversimplifying things and looking at small sample size, but think we're seeing that the Steelers once again are a below average talent team, but this time don't have Mike Tomlin magic to change the output into something greater than the sum of their parts
