Catching Heat in New York and Normandy: Yogi Berra at D-Day
Catching Heat in New York and Normandy: Yogi Berra at D-Day — United States Navy Memorial
Only a small handful of people have never heard of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra. Whether a diehard baseball fan or a casual follower, surely everyone knows something about the legendary Yankee catcher. Stat enthusiasts tell stories about the fifteen times he was named an All-Star and the three years

Login to view embedded mediaThe Internet Has Turned On The Savannah Bananas
Login to view embedded media
I don't remember exactly when the Savannah Bananas rose to internet fame. It feels like it happened overnight. One day they just appeared on our feeds and everybody immediately understood what the Savannah Bananas were. A baseball team that does wacky bits geared toward children and are good for viral internet clips. They're the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. In my opinion, they're much better than the Globetrotters, because at least the Savannah Bananas are actually competing. The rules of Banana Ball are fluid, but it's still a competition between two teams who are trying to win a game. It's actually possible for the Savannah Bananas to lose. That's far more compelling to me than the Harlem Globetrotters beating the Washington Generals by 100 points every night.
I don't know if it's fair to say everybody loved the Savannah Bananas at first. But I don't think they invoked any extreme negative reactions out of anyone. I've always thought I'd like to catch a game someday. If the stars aligned and I happened to be in the right city at the right time. Some of their rules actually sound pretty fun. Banana Ball Rule #8, for example - If a fan catches a foul ball, it's an out.

That's pretty fun. I'd be pretty fired up if I were sitting along the 3rd base line and I suddenly had an opportunity to make a big play for the home team. I believe your ticket comes with a free beer as well. From everything I've heard, the Savannah Bananas put on a great show in real life, and the fan experience is well worth the price of admission. I know the tickets are still highly sought after. You have to enter your name in a lottery just for the opportunity to purchase them. Which I also think is nice, because it keeps their prices reasonable. I had only ever seen positive things about the Savannah Bananas. I'm sure they weren't everyone's cup of tea. I'm sure the baseball pursuits out have probably thought all along that the Savannah Banana's are a plague on America's greatest pastime. But overall, the Bananas weren't hurting anybody. They are what they are, they know who their audience is, and by all accounts they do a phenomenal job of catering to them.
But that clip at the top the blog... The lengthy choreographed dance on the pitchers mount that culminated in an 80 mph fastball 3-feet off the plate. That was the tipping point. What happens to every good thing on the internet finally happened to the Savannah Bananas. People finally woke up and realized that they're fed up with the Bananas' bullshit gimmicks, and they couldn't stay silent any longer.

If he's even sort of picking up the defensive scheme, he's going to play. He was actually well ahead of where I expected him to be in the AA game from a mental perspective, he looked instinctual and seems to get the game, whereas I thought he was simply a physical freak coming in. Get your popcorn.I was sold when Bobby Carpenter said he was helping work out some of the young players and when Cincere put his hands in his chest it felt different

WNBA fans call out glaring double standard after Angel Reese’s clueless response to Paige Bueckers bet
Angel Reese said she'd be requesting her Apple Pay after the Dream's win over the Wings, brushing off criticism of her $400 bet with Paige Bueckers.

WNBA fans call out glaring double standard after Angel Reese’s clueless response to Paige Bueckers bet
The league deleted a video of Reese and Paige Bueckers agreeing to a $400 bet and issued a statement announcing no discipline
Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese doesn't care about the PR damage control the WNBA is currently going through.
The WNBA was mercilessly criticized Wednesday after sharing, then deleting, a video featuring Reese and Wings player Paige Bueckers.
The league's social media team inadvertently highlighted one of the most sensitive issues in professional sports: gambling.
.
.
Others wondered whether Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham would've received the same treatment. Just look at the firestorm surrounding Cunningham, then ask whether the sports media is holding Reese and Cunningham to the same standard.
"[Reese] only admitted it because it was filmed, who knows what other games she bet on?" one critic wrote.
.
.
Under Section 5(c) of the WNBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement, players are strictly prohibited from placing wagers, directly, indirectly, or even as a side bet, on any league game. Violations give the commissioner broad authority to impose severe penalties, ranging from fines and suspensions to permanent banishment in order to protect the integrity of the league....

Skull Session: Ohio Stadium Has New Turf, Bret Bielema and Curt Cignetti Fire Shots at the SEC, and Ryan Day Wants the Buckeyes to Leave a Legacy Behind This Year
Ohio Stadium has new turf, Bret Bielema and Curt Cignetti fire shots at the SEC, and Ryan Day wants the Buckeyes to leave behind a legacy in 2026.
“APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS UP.” Oh, Bert.
Illinois head coach Bret Bielema made headlines at Big Ten Media Days this week when he said college football is moving forward while the SEC is stuck looking backward.
“They kind of want to live in 2005 forever,” Bielema said.
When asked to elaborate, Bielema doubled down.
“Well, I think I just made the headline, right?” he said. “When (the transfer portal and NIL) came into college football, the whole world changed. It’s overly obvious to say that, but I think anything that predates that is just a different time in college football. It just is.”
This wasn’t Bielema’s first shot at the SEC this month. After Nick Saban said national championships don’t define a conference’s strength and instead pointed to the depth of talent across a league, Bielema reposted a clip of Saban’s comments alongside screenshots of Illinois’ bowl wins over South Carolina and Tennessee in each of the past two seasons.

Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti also summed up the SEC (and the Big Ten) well on Thursday.

“We don’t run a hype machine up here in the Midwest,” Cignetti said. “We believe everything’s earned, not given. And when we fall short, we say we fell short. We don’t cry a river, whine and complain. And that’s why we’re the best.”

COURSE WE’LL HAVE A LOOK. Ohio State has a new playing surface in the Horseshoe.
ABC6’s Cameron Fontana shared video on Thursday showing the Buckeyes’ new turf at Ohio Stadium as it was being installed and rolled out with the sun still rising over Columbus.

Ohio State announced earlier this summer that it planned to install new turf in the Shoe before the 2026 season. The surface features Shaw Sports Turf’s Forge Series system — “a system-level product line designed to meet NFL standards, featuring Game ON technology that integrates markings directly into the turf,” according to a school news release.
That’s a lot of jargon.
Ryan Day used normal words in a statement.
“The new turf is a welcome upgrade to Ohio Stadium to maintain the safety and performance of our players on gamedays,” he said.
If it looks good, feels good and plays good — then I’m good.
I look forward to seeing it in person when Ohio State opens the season against Ball State at home on Sept. 5. We’ll get plenty of chances to see the Buckeyes break it in when they’re up 100-0 in the second half.
