Looks like July will be coming in with some serious heat and humidity here in NE Ohio. Highs in the mid to upper 90s and real feel about 10 degrees more.

Manziel didn’t have anything near the stable of WRs, RBs, or TEs to throw to that Sayin has/had.
my own preference is for a QB who can run. Looking at the NFL, my guess is that the pure passer is losing ground to QBs who can run.

The world needs more Jaspers in it.

Blue Jackets select six players on day two of 2026 NHL Draft​

Columbus selected five forwards, one defenseman and one goaltender over the two-day draft



The Blue Jackets acquired a fourth-round selection, 112th overall, from the Washington Capitals and a fifth-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft (from San Jose) in exchange for the 101st overall pick. Columbus then traded the 112th pick to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for the 121st and 185th overall picks in the 2026 NHL Draft. With the 121st overall pick, the club selected forward Evan Jardine, 18, from the United States Hockey League’s Youngstown Phantoms. The 6-0, 185-pound forward notched 27-34-61 with 70 PIM and a +12 plus/minus rating in 53 games this past season, ranking third on the team in goals (tied) and points. The Bloomfield Hills, Michigan native has notched 54-62-112 with 123 PIM and a +29 plus/minus rating in 127 career USHL games since making his debut in 2023-24. He is committed to play at The Ohio State University in 2026-27.

DSNY takes shot at JPMorgan litterbug with ‘No Need to Knick’ a trash bin giveaway​

Unlike the “incredibly stupid” fan, the five lucky winners won’t need to grab the full-sized blue-and-orange baskets off the street, dump litter across the sidewalk and lug it home on the subway.

"Fouling up our sidewalks and stealing public property should always be out of bounds in New York City,” said DSNY Commissioner Gregory Anderson.

Brendan Sorsby has a year to rewrite his story ... but he needs to stop playing the victim​

So ex-college quarterback Brendan Sorsby suddenly finds himself with a year off, an unexpected interlude between the rigors of college and the pressures of a real job. Many recent college students, given this kind of gap year opportunity, will go backpacking across Europe or work a ski lift or sit in a lifeguard chair. Anything to stave off the real world a few months longer.

Sorsby probably won't be staying in any Italian youth hostels or carving up ski slopes. But then, he's got a much larger opportunity awaiting him than most gap-year ex-students … as long as he takes advantage of it.

Sorsby, of course, isn't taking this career siesta by choice. Thanks to his incredibly foolish gambling habits, he went from leader of a College Football Playoff-level program to pariah faster than you can say three-team parlay. He's got no one to blame but himself, even though he and his team have tried to rope in the University of Cincinnati, Texas Tech, the NCAA, the gambling-industrial complex, the NFL, and probably even the Vatican too, just to muddy the waters.

But that's the past, and we're not here to re-litigate the past. (Not even with a Texas judge.) No, let's discuss Brendan Sorsby's future, specifically the next 10 months of that future. Between now and the 2027 NFL Draft, Sorsby has a unique opportunity, a chance to completely rewrite the narrative that's grown up around him, a narrative he and his lawyers have fed with heaping doses of fertilizer.

Sorsby gambled his way out of a starting job for one of the elite college programs in the country, and with it a potential gateway to the first round of the NFL Draft. And for what? A few taps on an app, a few winners, a lot more losers. That's how quickly you can gamble away what could have been a Heisman-level year, and that's the kind of story Sorsby ought to be telling right now to every college student, every rookie in every league, everyone who's used a promo code to get free bets and believed they were on the way to riches.

You want a scared-straight story? "I gambled my way out of a guaranteed $5 million, don't be like me" is a pretty terrifying pitch.

Remember When: Jim Tressel Fulfills a Promise Made 310 Days Prior​

With this week's news Jim Tressel will be enshrined in Ohio Stadium's Ring of Honor during Ohio State's season opener against Ball State, it felt right to revisit one of his greatest victories in our latest installment of Remember When.

Ohio State football was in a bad place at the conclusion of the 2000 season. Head coach John Cooper's program was struggling in the classroom, appearing in court with alarming regularity, looking undisciplined on the field and failing to stack enough wins - specifically against Michigan and in bowl games.

All of that came to a head in a season-ending 24-7 loss to South Carolina in the Outback Bowl on January 1 as the Buckeyes racked up roughly 47 personal foul penalties, allowed Ohio native Ryan Brewer to carve them up for three touchdowns and generally looked like a rudderless program to cap an 8-4 season.

Cooper was let go the next day and the search began for his successor. Names like Glen Mason, Fred Pagac, Jon Gruden (of course) and Mike Belloti, among others, were bandied about but just over two weeks later, on January 18, 2001, Jim Tressel was announced as the 22nd head coach in Ohio State football history with a 5-year contract worth $4.6 million.

A fair amount of OSU fans weren't blown away by the hire, questioning if Tressel could make a successful leap from the I-AA ranks where he powered Youngstown State to four national titles. But even those who approached the hire with caution were elated Tressel was an Ohio guy and had served as an assistant coach at Ohio State for three years before heading to YSU. That meant he understood the importance of The Game and holy smokes was that needed after Cooper, for all his great teams, could only muster a 2-10-1 mark against the Wolverines (not to mention a 3-8 record in bowl games).

And of course even the lukewarm fans jumped fully onboard after Tressel addressed the crowd at halftime of Ohio State's basketball game that night saying, "I can assure you that you will be proud of our young people in the classroom, in the community, and most especially in 310 days in Ann Arbor, Michigan.”
