Fucking Cleveland 2 run HR in the &th and then Brito boots the 3rd out to score a run for the tie. Then can’t score in the 10th and allow St Louis a wp then sac fly. Most frustrating 2 innings I’ve seen in a while. Just gave them the game

Right???

First play in game was fire. Hornets 127 Heat 126 in OT. Enjoy seeing Miami out.

Reportedly there is a 65% increase in price in the basketball portal compared to one year ago (i.e., a player valued at $1M/yr in 2025 is now at $1.65M/yr). An additional insight is that bigs are being paid $1M/yr more than other positions, suggesting perhaps the most plausible way to build a successful roster with limited resources would involve finding a token big man and investing in elite guards/wings instead.

$275 million seems like a lot for a 1,600 seat auditorium. But then again, I think $105 is a lot for a polo shirt, so what do I know?

No, they do. Especially when you come at it with a 'faith backed' approach.

I'm positive Trey hasn't been a shining example of Christianity (I was raised in just this environment. Athletics+baptist church+ football) Just as Vrabes hasn't been a shining example of morality with potential infidelity.

But people love looking to others hearts before their own.

Truth be told, both of our Buckeyes, like 75% of most people, are probably full of shit.

A few phone calls a few hours early? Let’s vacate some wins.

On field cheating for dozens of games over a 3-year period, followed by a long period of stonewalling the NCAA? Just pay a fine and keep those wins.

Fuck you, NCAA.

Folks should demand a financial investigation into the B1G and NCAA administrators who were involved with the TCUN decision to see if they received any unexplained deposits or personal benefits. The cheaters may have bought that ruling.

Dunno, the way he hit the big stick yesterday, all day, seemed to be the best solution, until it wasn't. Not that I'm near that level, but if you've been doing it, why would you change. Playing if soft, or safely, means you are overthinking it, and have seen that crater more often than not. Golf is not a game where you can 'guide' the ball, you must put your best swing on it at all times. Anyway, he exhibited all day that he has all the shots, and some he made from the boonies were tremendous. Tip of the hat to Rory.

Sorry, I just can’t buy that. As he approached the tee on 18, the only 2 ways he could lose the tournament was if Cameron Young holed out for an eagle (about 1000 to 1), or if Rory got a double bogey or worse.

The 18th is only a 465 yard par 4, and has a narrow fairway with trouble on either side. A 320-yard drive isn’t needed to par the hole, but an accurate drive is essential in avoiding big numbers. And Rory was a guy who was 90th out of 91 golfers in hitting fairways over the first two days! And now he’s dealing with the pressure of trying to close it out.

He had played well being aggressive from 7 through 17 (4 under for 11 holes), but he needed two great chips to par 16 and 17. He didn’t need a birdie or even a par on 18, he just needed to avoid disaster.

It‘s a similar situation to protecting a lead in football or basketball. A football team might have a strength of throwing the ball, but if they have a lead late they run the ball to close out the game by reducing the chances of disaster and shortening the game. And a basketball team that likes to run and gun, if they aren’t idiots, quit jacking up quick 3s when they have a multi-possession lead in the last minute. It doesn’t maximize their points per possession, but it decreases the chances of blowing the lead at the end of the game.

There are famous situations of folks not closing out contests by failing to be wisely conservative at the end of sporting events. Joe Pisarcik should have taken a knee against the Eagles in 1978; and Jean Van de Velde on the 18th hole at Carnoustie in 1999, where he hit driver with a 3-stroke lead, compounded his problems with his second shot, and lost in a playoff.

If Rory’s bad drive had ended up behind a tree, he could have lived to regret hitting the driver on 18 with a 2-stroke lead.

I disagree…..Vrabel low-key insulted Treyveon….he said he needs to educate himself on “inclusivity”.

And this is where Vrabel now loses tons of credibility….bc how is he going to tell a player to educate themselves on inclusivity when the player will just come back with “educate yourself on marriage”.

If people quit moralizing everything they could just have a grown up conversation.

I find it hilarious that the NCAA is punishing Iowa for tampering but Michigan nah you’re good with your cheating and LOIC
