I sure do but they were the best bullpen in the league in April. Not sure why coming in an inning earlier worked for these mental midgets but this is God awful.

Remembering Bill Davidge​

The longtime Blue Jackets broadcaster and pillar in the Ohio hockey community passed away Wednesday at age 72



For Bill Davidge, it was always about the people.

He loved the game of hockey, and may have loved golf just as much, but he loved the people the most.

His time as a player and coach was marked by the relationships he built with his teammates and players. His memorable stint as a Blue Jackets broadcaster and ambassador made every trip to the rink or a charity event into a reunion. Every tee time was a chance to catch up with an old friend or meet a new one.

Davidge, a fixture in the CBJ community for the organization’s first two decades who could best be described as simply “Mr. Blue Jacket,” passed away Wednesday at age 72.

Re:

Kyle Busch called for medical attention at Watkins Glen International on May 10, just weeks before his death at 41 on Thursday, May 21. Fox NASCAR announcers noted that he had a "sinus cold," and Busch later told reporters he had a "substantial" cough

According to multiple people familiar with the situation, Busch reportedly became unresponsive Wednesday while testing in a Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina before being transported to a Charlotte-area hospital. Less than 24 hours later, NASCAR confirmed the two-time Cup Series champion had died at 41 years old.

Just sayin': (what the hell they were doing in the days leading up to his death?) Apparently he kept racing. A week earlier he had pneumonia (or a sinus infection/coughing that quickly developed into pneumonia). A doctor on a news channel (who admitted that he never examined Busch) speculated that the G forces of racing and the simulator could have forced the infection (i.e. pneumonia) deeper into his lungs resulting in a rapid escalation of the illness.

So I reiterate - what the hell were they doing? You're not anywhere near normal when you have this severe of a case of pneumonia. Been there and got the tshirt.

Maybe he refused treatment - but his family hopefully at least tried to slow him down and get him seen/treated. And if a doctor did examine him and allowed him to leave with minimal treatment we might see a lawsuit sooner or later.

Just sayin - what's publicly out there doesn't jive with my own experiences. Someone fucked up - either Kyle, or his family or any doctors he may have seen....

Packers' Josh Jacobs says former WR Henry Ruggs III trains while in prison, hopeful for second chance in NFL

Packers' Josh Jacobs says former WR Henry Ruggs III trains while in prison, hopeful for second chance in NFL​

Ruggs is first eligible for parole on Aug. 5, 2026​

Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs said he stays in touch with former Las Vegas Raiders and Alabama Crimson Tide teammate Henry Ruggs III, and he revealed that Ruggs is still training and holding out hope of an NFL return.

"I still talk to Henry. Henry still calls me. I still help him out. ... We're still connected. I know his whole family. He's from Alabama. He played with me at Bama. His momma and them taught me how to bowl. ... Keeping up with him and hearing him talk, it brings me spirits, because he's always positive," Jacobs said on "The Pivot Podcast."

"He's positive about everything. He's training. They let him train and things like that, so I'm like, 'When you come out, man, I don't know if you will get a chance.' I've been talking to some people for him. They've been saying a couple of teams are willing to give him a chance. I'm like, 'When you get that chance, man, you better not ever, don't look back, and prove to yourself and prove to everybody that one decision don't define you and who you are as a man.'"

Ruggs, the 12th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was speeding early in the morning of Nov. 2, 2021 with alcohol in his system. Ruggs' Corvette hit a 23-year-old woman, Tina Tintor, who died in the wreck. Ruggs, now 26 years old, pled guilty to one count of driving under the influence resulting in death, a felony, and another count of vehicular manslaughter, a a misdemeanor.

Henry Ruggs III begins parole process, seeks early release from prison after vehicular manslaughter conviction​

While speaking with the Nevada Board of Parole on Monday, Ruggs expressed contrition over his actions related to a Nov. 2021 collision that left a 23-year-old woman dead.

“Not a minute goes by where I don’t think of the pain I caused her family, her friends and the Las Vegas community,” Ruggs told the parole board, per AL.com's Mark Inabinett. “I’m a religious person and pray for her family daily."

On the morning of Nov. 4, 2021, Ruggs' Corvette collided with Tintor's car. At the time of the collision, Ruggs' vehicle was traveling 127 miles per hour. Tintor and her dog were killed in the wreck.

Ruggs was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or controlled or prohibited substance resulting in death, driving under the influence of alcohol and/or controlled or prohibited substance resulting in death or substantial bodily harm, two counts of reckless driving resulting in death or substantial bodily harm and possession of a gun under the influence of alcohol or drugs. His blood-alcohol concentration was measured to be .161, two times the legal limit in the state of Nevada.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Ruggs could face more than 50 years in prison if convicted of all the charges. At the trial, Wolfson's office accepted a plea deal with Ruggs, citing concerns over the potential suppression of the results of Ruggs' blood test.

Ruggs was sentenced to from three to 10 years in prison for his role in the accident. On Monday, he appealed to the Nevada Board of Parole to grant him "the privilege of parole so I can prove myself to everyone."

“I take full responsibility for my actions that led to Ms. Tintor’s death and her dog Max,” Ruggs said, per Las Vegas Review Journal.

Commissioners did not announce a decision on whether they would grant or deny parole for Ruggs during the hearing. They said they'll come to a decision in the next few weeks.

You should have stopped typing there.

What does this have to do with Va Tech and Franklin? Well, not much. Just remembering the 50s, when the school still went by VPI. I'm watching a college football scores round-up, and the screen shows something like "Citadel 14 - VPI 21."
I ask the ol' man, "What does VPI stand for?"
And being a wiseass, he says."Vice Presidents Institute."
And I ask, "What do they study to be?"
"Vice Presidents."
"Oh."

It seems like everyone who has retired, or is looking to retire, is of the mindset, “When can I stop trading my time for money?” Based on that strict definition, I retired in my teens. I have never understood this mentality. Baffling to me. Also, invest in yourself or your own entity, not someone else or their entity. Will change your life.

Looking at this guy's list, does anyone else wonder about why a 'lesser' team would offer him after many of the blue bloods already have? Maybe a phone call or two to guage interest, but making a big deal about giving him an offer, knowing there's a couple dozen schools already offered that would be more prestigious picks? Maybe if a legacy recruit....?

RCR retiring Kyle Busch's No. 8 car until his son can take over​

Richard Childress Racing is temporarily retiring Kyle Busch's No. 8 Cup Series car -- at least until the late driver's 11-year-old son Brexton is ready to take over behind the wheel.

RCR will run the No. 33 car on the Cup Series circuit beginning Sunday night at the Coca-Cola 600 and for the foreseeable future after the 41-year-old Busch died unexpectedly Thursday. The cause of death has not been released.

Austin Hill is scheduled to replace Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, in the driver's seat at Charlotte Motor Speedway for NASCAR's longest race of the season.

Busch's son, Brexton, is already known for his racing exploits, having won the Tulsa Shootout Jr. Sprint Championship to earn his first career Golden Driller last year.

Predicting Ohio State men’s basketball’s 2026-27 depth chart​

Which Buckeyes will see the most playing time, and in what roles?

As the calendar now flips to May, the 2026-27 Ohio State men’s basketball team is still over five months away from playing meaningful games, but the roster for next season has mostly settled into place. The last three weeks have been a whirlwind of rumors and reports about which players were transferring where and for how much money, but the chaos the transfer portal brings every spring has settled down to a much slower, duller hum, and we can finally start assessing many teams’ rosters.

Ohio State broke a three-year NCAA Tournament drought this past season, earning an at-large bid to the dance thanks in large part to a late-season surge that saw the Buckeyes win four of their final six regular season games, including ranked wins over Wisconsin and Purdue. They then fell behind TCU by a boatload of points early on in that first-round NCAA Tournament game, stormed all the way back, and ultimately lost in the final five seconds. Season over, just like that.

Several players graduated and ran out of collegiate eligibility, including the program’s all-time leading scorer, Bruce Thornton.

Several others, including three former Ohio Mr. Basketball Award winners -- Gabe Cupps, Colin White, and Devin Royal -- opted to transfer out of the program.

To replenish the roster, head coach Jake Diebler and his staff -- which, as of today still has a vacancy -- brought in four players via the transfer portal as well as two freshmen in the 2026 recruiting class. While it remains possible that Ohio State could bring in an additional player before the team reports, it seems more likely that the group currently assembled will be the group we see on the floor against BYU on November 2 in Salt Lake City.

With that said, here’s my current prediction for Ohio State’s depth chart next season, which (obviously) includes a starting lineup.

Point Guard​

Starter: Justin Pippen
Other options: Curtis Givens, John Mobley Jr.

Shooting Guard​

Starter - John Mobley Jr.
Other options - Jimmie Williams, Curtis Givens

Small Forward​

Starter - Anthony Thompson
Other options - Jimmie Williams

Power Forward​

Starter - Amare Bynum
Other options - Andrija Jelavic, Anthony Thompson, Alex Smith

Center​

Starter - Josh Ojianwuna
Other options - Andrija Jelavic, Ivan Njegovan, Amare Bynum
