The Royals are the 2nd lowest scoring team in MLB scoring just over 3.5 runs per game....so of course they have 7 runs in 6 innings vs Cincy tonight while Reds have 2 freaking hits off a dude with an ERA over 6. Can it be football season yet....

UCLA needed a walk-off to force a game 3!

If your have a history of effectively drafting players then more picks are draft capital.

When you are the Browns, more picks are just disaster accelerant

It's like giving a small child not just a shiny revolver to play with but handing him a speed loader as well.

Sports History

On this day in 2001 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin could use a cart to ride in tournaments.

Click to expand...

FWIW, good account of Casey Martin's medical condition and his legal pursuit to use a cart on the PGA Tour.

The battles continue for Casey Martin, decades after Supreme Court case​

When former PGA Tour golfer Casey Martin had his right leg amputated at midthigh in October 2021, he hoped to get some relief from the excruciating pain that had hobbled him since he was born.

Instead, Martin traded the all-too-familiar aches for an entirely new level of discomfort.

"The pains that I used to have for 49 years are gone," Martin said. "Unfortunately, there's a new set that came with it. I wasn't 100% prepared for what I was going to deal with. I'm not going to lie, it's been a bit of a war."

Martin, who has coached Oregon's golf team the past two decades, hasn't played an 18-hole round in nearly two years. He can stand on his right prosthetic leg and stripe a 7-iron about 150 yards while his players warm up for practice. He can still chip with the best of them.

But everything else the game requires is physically too much for Martin, who turns 54 on Tuesday.

"It's just so hard to play, and it hurts," Martin said. "I kind of felt like it just wasn't worth it. If you put me on a flat surface, it's OK. But if you put me on a side hill in a bunker, I can't do it."

Giving up the game he played for most of his life -- and the sport he challenged in a famous legal battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court a quarter-century ago -- required an entirely different kind of healing.

"I wasn't totally prepared for that," Martin said. "It's been a bit of a grieving process."

---

WHEN KING AND Melinda Martin's second son was born in Eugene on June 2, 1972, he cried incessantly. His parents eventually figured out something was wrong with Casey's right leg, which had what appeared to be an unusual birthmark.

When Martin was 10 months old, doctors diagnosed him with a rare and degenerative birth defect called Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome. The incurable disorder affects the circulatory system in his leg.

In the 1998 book "Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Casey Martin Story," author Tom Cunneff described Martin's condition like this: "Blood in a healthy leg is carried to the lower leg by arteries, and then pumped back up the leg through veins. Because the blood is flowing up through the veins against gravity, valves in the veins are designed to prevent blood from draining back down. In the case of Casey's right leg, however, those vein valves never close. The blood never flows back up and out; instead, it pools in the lower part of the leg."

The prognosis was grim: The leaking veins in Martin's right leg would deteriorate his tibia over the years.

As a child, Martin often had to have blood drained from his right knee with a syringe. He wore hip-to-ankle compression socks to promote blood flow and prevent swelling. He iced his right leg and soaked it in a hot tub.

Even before Martin became a teenager, he knew losing his leg was probably inevitable.

"I was prepared for it," Martin said. "When people would ask me about wearing a stocking over my leg, I'd be like, 'Yeah, I probably won't have it forever.' I knew that. It was not a healthy leg."

Martin's leg didn't prevent him from playing sports as a child. He was the designated quarterback -- not to be tackled -- in backyard football games. He played basketball and golf with his brother Cameron, who is two-and-a-half years older.

Anything that didn’t include at minimum two 1st rounders is a joke. Berry just had a relapse and reverted back to his Watson trade days. Either give up the farm for a trash heap, or trade your prized thoroughbred for “potential.”

I will say trading Garrett was probably the right move. He is at his all time peak value, but what we got in return does not equal imo. Regardless, the Browns are going nowhere without a competent QB. Shedump and Twatson?!? Lolz…

I would have traded him a couple years ago. But yeah - should have gotten more.

Mike Sirota's minor league numbers are ridiculous. That Lux trade might go down as an all timer

Oh you thought Odell would be the only old wide receiver the Giants signed on a Monday? Think again. It all started with Braxton Berrios. Then it was Odell. Then we just cornered the market because we weren't done wheeling and dealing yet

The Philadelphia Eagles traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, the Patriots announced Monday. The Eagles separately confirmed the move, receiving a 2028 first-round draft pick and 2027 fifth-round pick in return.

#2 Georgia Tech eliminated as well, on a walkoff HR in the 10th by Oklahoma.

Latest on Ohio State’s chase of David Gabriel Georges sounds great for the Buckeyes’ strong chances of landing the elite running back recruit​

Ohio State is after David Gabriel Georges like no other recruit in the class of 2027. One move they’ve made shows just how bad the Buckeyes want him.

The Ohio State Buckeyes just wrapped up their first big recruiting weekend of the summer with multiple key visitors in town.

It was the official visit weekend for Baylor School (TN) five-star RB David Gabriel Georges. The elite running back recruit was Ohio State’s most important recruit on campus; the Buckeyes have identified Gabriel Georges as their biggest target during the 2027 cycle.

Coming off of the first of four official visits Gabriel Georges is set to make, it’s sounding good for the Buckeyes chances of landing him.

Ohio State is going all-in to land David Gabriel Georges​

Ohio State running backs coach Carlos Locklyn has been recruiting Gabriel Georges since he was at Oregon. The relationship is huge for Ohio State’s chances. Still, NIL is going to be a major part of it, and the Buckeyes are said to be stepping up in that department.

According to Lettermen Row’s Alex Gleitman, the Buckeyes are going away from their normal NIL practices with the running back position.

“One thing to note, when I asked about NIL, I was told Ohio State is all-in on this one,” Gleitman wrote. “The Buckeyes usually don’t do that for backs, but they feel DGG is special, maybe generational to some extent. If they lose out, I wouldn’t expect it to be for NIL.”

They got a decent DE, probably the last pick in round 1 next year, and a couple of day 2 picks down the road. For the best dfensive player in the game who probably still has a couple good/great years left. That's fucking embarrassing. At least traffic cops around Cleveland will get a break.

Now watch them trade Denzel Ward for a White Castle coupon.

Nah, this is Andrew 4D Berry man. They’ll get at least a White Castle coupon, a case of Strohs and a toilet seat lid for him. Maybe a conditional tuna sandwich with protected mayo in 2029

Coming out of Endicott Arm.
