Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

This is one of the things I hate about today’s world. Someone does something reprehensible. People in a position to do something about it publicly announce they are not going to tolerate it. Then they tolerate it. Rinse and repeat.

And speaking of rinse and repeat. It’s Friday and I’m going to have a drink.
Certainly agree with you here. Social media keeps these things more out front. In the past this would have been quickly swept under the rug.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

NFL trade rumors: Browns would 'welcome deal at right price' for Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, per report​

Cleveland may have options within its quarterback room now that Deshaun Watson has solidified himself as QB1 after a 3-1 start​

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Browns "would probably welcome a deal at the right price" for one of their backup quarterbacks, given Watson's early-season play.

"I could see if they get the right offer for whoever it is, I think Taylen Green they'd like to keep as a developmental, so it would probably have to be Shedeur Sanders or Dillon Gabriel," Fowler said Thursday. "I am not saying they're definitely trading, I am saying they have the flexibility. This is very much a value-based team. The Browns are that more than any other."

The NFL's trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 10, which follows Week 9 of the regular season. That gives the Browns more than enough time to gauge interest while knowing where they stand in the postseason picture.
I’m telling you Watson will do enough to get a new contract and then shit the bed next year

MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

Just sayin': Did "divine intervention" help the White Sox defeat the Astros?
:lol:


Pope Leo XIV sends blessings to White Sox ahead of playoffs​

The Chicago White Sox, looking for every bit of divine intervention that they can get heading into the postseason, got a letter of support from Pope Leo XIV prior to Tuesday's playoff opener against the Houston Astros.

"As I have noted, sport can truly become a school of life, where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together," the pontiff wrote to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.

"In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity among people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.

"With these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones."

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

2027 college football recruiting class rankings: Top 50 schools​

i
7. Ohio State Buckeyes
Previous ranking: 7
SC Next 300 commits: 11
Top offensive prospect: WR Jamier Brown
Top defensive prospect: DE D.J. Jacobs

The talent Ohio State has amassed -- and lost -- can be illustrated by the NFL draft, but the Buckeyes continue to work to add more impact prospects -- including explosive perimeter players and long, athletic defenders -- while also quietly stockpiling developmental tackles up front.

A key in-state add on offense is burner Jamier Brown, the next big name in the Buckeyes' receiver pipeline. A dynamic wideout and return man, he owns elite track marks (10.3 in the 100, 20.7 in the 200) and shows outstanding quickness, acceleration, burst and change of direction to go with his top-end speed. At quarterback, as with Julian Sayin, they have mined the state of California again, this time with Brady Edmunds, who brings a 6-6, 220-pound frame with classic pocket-passer traits, giving Ohio State another big, vertical-minded signal-caller. They're also investing heavily along the O-line with Kellen Wymer and Mason Wilt from in-state, Brody McNeel out of Virginia and Jimmy Kalis, out of Pittsburgh. Kalis was a standout performer at the Under Armour Next camp in Columbus this spring. Five-star Caden Moss is a big man with elite arm length and excellent lower body flexibility and feet; he can be a people mover.

Defensively, five-star D.J. Jacobs fits the Buckeyes' recent mold of long, explosive edge defenders such as former standout Chase Young. At 6-5, Jacobs has a good first step, range and bend, plays with pad level and can be explosive as a finisher. Coaches rave about his motor, humility and desire to refine his craft, giving him impact potential. Fellow five-star Marcus Fakatou could be in the mold of another former Ohio State standout DL, JT Tuimoloau, but with a bigger frame. On the back end, Eli Johnson and Angelo Smith add different safety body types -- Johnson as a long, 6-3 enforcer with range, and Smith, the younger brother of standout WR Jeremiah Smith, as a smaller, quick DB. Quinton Cypher (6-2, 220) projects as a physical inside linebacker who can anchor the middle of the defense.

2028 CA OL Lincoln Fa'alafi (Verbal Offer)

Per Gorney, Ohio State and ND are the two standing out to OT Lincoln Fa’alafi right now. He visited us last weekend.
Massive RT prospect. Moves very well on film, I have no concerns over his size. Bowen is killing it with his aggressiveness on the trail. He's got a ton of true OT prospects that we're at worst top3 for.

At 6-foot-8 and 360 pounds, Lincoln Fa’alafi does not have an easy time on airplanes.
“I’m happy if I get an exit row,” Fa’alafi said. “Exit row, I can go across the world. No exit row, I have 30 minutes tops and I have to get up.
“I let the colleges know about it and they say, ‘We don’t blame you.’ You’re big. You have to get an exit row.”
The 2028 four-star offensive lineman from San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) JSerra Catholic had such an unbelievably good time at Ohio Statelast weekend that he might sit in the middle of the last row next to the bathroom of a bargain airline to get back to Columbus.

What stood out? Everything.

Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

had no idea the NHL reg season was now 84 games so i looked it up......

The National Hockey League expanded its regular season from 82 to 84 games starting in the 2026–27 season under a new collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' association. [1, 2]

Why the NHL Changed to 84 Games

    • Balanced Divisional Matchups: Franchises wanted to fix an imbalanced schedule that forced some division rivals to play each other only three times a year. The two extra games ensure a uniform four matchups per season against every divisional opponent.
    • Enhanced Rivalries: Playing more head-to-head games against regional and conference foes helps build heated rivalries and fan interest.
    • Reduced Preseason: To accommodate the two extra regular-season games without adding extra physical toll, exhibition play was cut down to four games per team.
    • Calendar Spacing: Starting the regular season in late September creates a better overall flow and provides more breathing room between the Stanley Cup Final and the offseason draft and free agency.
    • Business Growth: Owners and stakeholders benefit from additional ticket sales and broadcast revenue generated by 1,344 total regular-season games. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Historical Context
This shift marks only the second time in league history that the NHL has played an 84-game schedule. Teams previously played 84 games during the 1992–93 and 1993–94 seasons before a lockout shortened the 1994–95 season and the league subsequently standardized an 82-game format starting in 1995–96
