Posted on ESPN's website:

The NFL is expected to award the 2028 draft to Minneapolis during its quarterly meetings this week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday. A formal announcement is likely to come Tuesday following a vote by owners.

Nashville is expected to be named host of Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 by the NFL owners, who will vote for the city on Tuesday during the spring league meeting, sources told the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

I was laughing and remarking to my wife how much nicer people were treating Rory at Augusta this weekend versus how he was treated at Bethpage a few months ago at the Ryder Cup.

We had a chuckle.

Rory McIlroy has heated exchange with fan at PGA Championship​

Rory McIlroy's frustrating final round at the PGA Championship on Sunday boiled over with an angry exchange with a fan after a "U-S-A!" shout from the gallery at Aronimink Golf Club.

An errant shot out of heavy rough at the scoreable 16th hole derailed McIlroy's come-from-behind bid, and he appeared to respond to the shout by using an expletive while telling the fan to "shut up."

The exchange summarized the two-time Masters champion's confounding final round.

McIlroy said earlier in the week that the outlandish and abusive fan behavior he endures -- as at the Ryder Cup in 2025 -- is usually limited to one week every four years, when those matches are contested in the U.S.
.
.
He didn't comment on the fan interaction but acknowledged that he left some strokes on the course.

Just sayin': If the fan just yelled "U-S-A!" at a time when McIlory wasn't in the process of hitting the ball; I really don't see anything wrong with that. Fans have always been know to yell things after the ball is hit, you hear someone yell "in the hole" all the time. PGA golfers need to block out the fans and give their full attention to their game. McIlroy let the fan get to him. The fan won.

Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

NYK was playing hot but have not played in over a week now.
Their game 4, I believe it was, and last nights Cavs game, we're the best two performances of the Eastern playoffs. Cavs are coming off that one and the Knicks will have to try and find it again. I like our chances.

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

Yeah, seems like the only 'ballyhooing' done is by the Buckeye beat writers. Nothing national that I can see. But lest we forget, Arvell wasn't exactly a household name before his break-out year that saw him go from a 'no-name' to a top 5 draft choice. There's been top flight talent put on the field, and they have pedestrian play, and get replaced by the #2, who goes on a rampage all over the place. Would be alot easier if there were a fool-proof crystal ball with the answer already written. Such is life. Anyone still have a working '8-ball' that gives you an answer when you tip it over?
My 8 ball answers are usually not safe for work. Just saying

Developed Here: Ohio State’s 25 NFL Draft Picks Over Last Two Years Prove It’s More Than Just A Motto

162446_h.jpg
Developed Here.

It might just seem like a simple hashtag on social media, one of the mottos for the football team, or a cliché statement, but for Ohio State, the last two NFL drafts back up that it’s one of the best programs in all of college football in developing talent.
Development has always been key for a team to reach its maximum potential. That was the case before the transfer portal era and remains the case now, as well, even if the portal allows teams to fill holes where said team might have missed on an evaluation or didn't get the development from a player that it was expecting.

The Buckeyes have not only been able to develop prospects immediately out of high school, but also ones that they have added through the portal. It's turned into the perfect recipe for Ohio State, one that Ryan Day and Co. continue to lean on.

To take a closer look at this, we broke down Ohio State's 25 NFL draft picks over the last two years, which tied an NFL record (Georgia, 2022-23), to see how long each selection played for the Buckeyes.

OSU's NFL Draft Picks the Last Two Years and No. of Years in the Program
YEAR PLAYER ROUND DRAFTED YEARS AT OSU TRANSFER?
2025 CARNELL TATE 1 3 NO
ARVELL REESE 1 3 NO
SONNY STYLES 1 4 NO
CALEB DOWNS 1 2 YES
KAYDEN MCDONALD 2 3 NO
MAX KLARE 2 1 YES
DAVISON IGBINOSUN 2 3 YES
WILL KACMAREK 3 2 YES
LORENZO STYLES JR. 5 3 YES
CADEN CURRY 6 4 NO
ETHAN ONJANWA 7 1 YES
2025 EMEKA EGBUKA 1 4 NO
DONOVAN JACKSON 1 4 NO
TYLEIK WILLIAMS 1 4 NO
JOSH SIMMONS 1 2 YES
QUINSHON JUDKINS 2 1 YES
TREVEYON HENDERSON 2 4 NO
JT TUIMOLOAU 2 4 NO
CODY SIMON 4 5 NO
LATHAN RANSOM 4 5 NO
JACK SAWYER 4 4 NO
TY HAMILTON 5 5 NO
JORDAN HANCOCK 5 4 NO
DENZEL BURKE 5 4 NO
WILL HOWARD 6 1 YES
For an easier breakdown of those numbers:
  • Of the school record and draft-high 14 picks Ohio State had in 2025 (one short of the record set by Georgia in 2022), 11 spent at least four years with the Buckeyes, with 12 being in Columbus for multiple years.
  • Of Ohio State's four first-round picks in 2025, three spent four seasons at OSU and all four were with the Buckeyes for multiple years.
  • Of Ohio State's draft-high 11 picks it had in 2026, nine spent multiple years in Columbus, including seven that were Buckeyes for 3-4 seasons.
  • Of the four first-round picks OSU had in 2026, all of which were selected in the first 11 picks, each one donned the scarlet and gray for multiple years, with three representing the Buckeyes for 3-4 seasons.
In total, 13 of Ohio State’s 25 draft picks over the last two years were Buckeyes for at least four years and 21 were in Columbus for multiple years. Nine of the 25 transferred into Ohio State, but five of those nine were Buckeyes for multiple years.

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

I really want this kid to stay a Buckeye. Seems like he really wants to be at Ohio State and hope the staff gives him the chance. I’m all for bringing on another QB too and letting them fight it out, but he’s been a Buckeye since a kid it seems(and is extremely talented as well), I hope he gets the opportunity. Then he needs to win the job but I’d hate to see this kid start his career somewhere else at this point.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

Every production line (industry) has a 'bottleneck'. That means that when everything flows well, one point is the thing that holds the line from going gang busters. Every production/assembly line has one. Using that simile, the Buckeye offense has an elite WR group, a much better than average RB group, and a QB that produced an almost 70% success ratio. That leaves the OL as the bottleneck. Everyone above has tabbed the OL as the problem, and yeah, Bowen's the figurehead, and yeah, the players have to execute. Heck, we've seen OL players get replaced, and then drafted by the NFL! And they practice against a darn good DL. Lack of talent? Everyone of them are very serviceable. Superstars, nope. Everyone has their flaws. Need better coaching? Hard to say. Teamwork? Chemistry? Injuries? Have zero answers, but hope they perform well enough to get the job done, keep Sayin upright, and give the WRs time to break free. And let us not forget to open holes for the RBs and get to the second level. An early Monday rant

WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

Absolutely baffles me how Jeremiah has not received the Biletnikoff (sp) award yet. He's done all of it, catches, TDs, YAC, big plays, that you'd want to see in a WR, and of course, helps the team win games, with the 'big catch'. Of course, I have a myopic view of the world, centered around the Buckeyes, and not an all-worldly one. Maybe this is the year?

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

And this will be his third OC in three seasons. Cannot see any major changes being made by Smith, probably mostly tweaks, rather than directional changes. Kinda like the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mode. We always hear, that the TE will get more involved, and we'll do the RPO more, or hit the underneath receiver who's at speed type of things. Maybe the OC will give formations that look like pass, but are runs, and vice versa. Dunno. Just going to enjoy the show. tOSU can/will out talent most of the B10, and hopefully show well in it's only major OOL game, Texas, and then await the playoffs, where the caliber of team we're facing is on the same level as the Buckeyes. Go Bucks

1. UVa finished 28-4 and won the National Championship. Two of those losses were to Ohio State.

2. If everyone eligible on UVa comes back next season, they are going to be tough to beat in 2026/2027.
