I’m personally in the pre-hope “appreciation and wonder” phase. I have no capital to invest in hope at the moment. Maybe I’ll have some hope while watching the Browns’ first ever Super Bowl parade come Feb.

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

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."

Jesus, you’d think he’d be on course to hit someone with a folding chair after all that.

Birm's criticism was also off the field---without saying these exact words he was criticising his competitive mindset. It was funny b/c he compared him to Khary Wilder, who he said is all business and competition when you see him in the facility

Hard not to wonder how committed he is when it seemed like his main priority was getting the biggest bag during the portal window.

One miserable grown-up part of me says "It's a wildcard series. Get a fucking grip and celebrate when you win something real".


But fuck it. They're having a good time. Get your fucking party on, boys!

Celebrate it when you can. Outside of this and the 2005 World Series (fuck yeah Mark Buehrle), they haven't won a playoff series since 1917.

Which is a little misleading, because until 1969 there were no series to win besides the World Series. But since 1969, if the White Sox made it to the playoffs, they lost the first round. Other than 2005 (fuck yeah Joe Crede).

Also, they won the World Series in 2005 (fuck yeah Bobby Jenks).

Watson leads another game-winning drive, Szmyt hits 56-yard FG and Browns beat Steelers 27-24​

Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns are developing a knack for coming up big in the fourth quarter.

Watson led a go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter for the third straight week as he moved the Browns into position for Andre Szmyt's career-long 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining that gave Cleveland a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.

Oh - I thought you were going to predict Nebraska's game.
I'm not so good at predicting Thump's posts.

2027 college football recruiting class rankings: Top 50 schools​

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.
