If I owned a football team I’d absolutely be on the headset, geeking out to 14-word play calls and listening to the DB coach panic when the secondary doesn’t adjust correctly to a late shift. Get something for your millions*. *inheritance, whatever

we had our occasional differences when I covered him (as any coach and beat writer should), but I always had a ton of respect for Jeff Capel. good to see a coach out there talking like this

Incredible moment in NCAA history: A circuit judge in Florida actually referenced CALVINBALL in order to make a piercing point about the NCAA's case—while ruling in favor of Gators men's basketball player Denzel Aberdeen. The fifth-year player is suing for one more season and currently eligible.

Bill Watterson: Ohio State fan, perhaps?

Classic Calvinball colorboard cartoon from the '80s.

VT’s jerseys actually look a little empty without a sponsor patch. As with college athletes doing radio ads, it appears the world has continued to turn.

UNC might have hired the wrong coach, but by investing more in football, North Carolina is increasingly well positioned to thrive in the next round of TV-driven realignment — if there is one. For @theassemblync.bsky.social www.theassemblync.com/news/culture...

RIP Dick Tebbetts, who worked the press-room door at PNC/Lenovo for many years before retiring home to NH in 2023. A much beloved and missed figure at the arena.

Love this. Of course he should be in. Of course a few people have kept him out. Of course people who deserve to get in should get in while the people they want to thank are still alive. Of course he’ll get in someday. Of course it takes nothing away from his career as coach and player.

The Protect College Sports Act is a bad bill, and I hope it doesn't become law

In my professional judgement, this legislation will not do the things its advocates say it will.

The White Sox waited four hours for the rain to clear and it's as bad now as it was during the delay. The Tigers went through the top of the first on seven pitches. This feels like a reenactment of the last chapters of the Iowa Baseball Confederacy. The Black Angel will be a defensive sub in RF.

Ohio State’s self-sabotaging goal-line stand was like a hockey team on a power play when the other team takes another penalty and refuses to turn over the puck to get the five-on-three. But worse somehow.
