Yep. The Harley dealership opened up years after Carol Fink opened the car lot.

His son Troy did manage it last I knew.

Reds get Zack Wheeler (8-3, 2.27 era) tomorrow. He is making $42 million per year and is the highest paid player on a team with a payroll of $279M this year. Mind boggling. I didn't realize mlb teams so blatantly disregarded the supposed deterrents - luxury tax? I guess nobody cares, and it seems they are useless. From baseball-reference:

Ah - the Mets payroll is well over $300M. And I thought the Cubs were near the top. Nowhere close.

Burning Questions: What’s up with Ohio State’s defensive line recruiting?

Is the Buckeyes’ NIL philosophy getting in the way of landing big-time recruits, or has Larry Johnson lost a step?

www.landgrantholyland.com

While not a defensive lineman, on Friday, five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo (No. 7 nationally) committed to Texas Tech 24, just hours after confirming that his top four were Florida, Texas, Michigan, and Ohio State. So, what changed?

Who knows? But, his agent did say after his client’s commitment that the Red Raiders offered Ojo a fully guaranteed, three-year, $5.1 million deal. So maybe that had something to do with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I don’t know how those kinds of contracts work with college students, who, presumably, can transfer whenever they want, but that’s clearly not something Ohio State fans (and bloggers) have to worry about, because the Buckeyes seem to have no interest in going anywhere near those types of deals.

Just sayin': Apparently the sad state of college football recruiting is now you don't really have spend months actually recruiting some recruits anymore. Just call his agent the night before his commitment date and offer $5.1M over 3 years guaranteed....

Trying to match insults with a Brit is like trying to run a marathon against a Kenyan. I will say that my folks (Jews) can bring the insult heat too, but the best stuff is Yiddish curse phrases more so than creative portmanteaus.
