ESPN: Ward 'definitely' wants to stay with Browns after Garrett trade

"I definitely still want to be here," Ward said Saturday at his inaugural celebrity softball game. "Myles is a good friend of mine, a great teammate, but things aren't lost. It's Ohio against the world. So people could doubt us, but we're going out there still trying to play our best ball and bring wins to the city."

I’ve paid $50K in ‘boob tax’ to travel — my size R chest makes flying economy impossible​

She’s booby-trapped in high-cost traveling.

Paying an arm and a leg for flights can be a major pain. But for Summer Robert, a frequent flyer with 55-pound, size R breasts, paying through the nose just to fit comfortably in an airplane seat is a budget-busting injustice, says the siren, who’s spent over $50,000 upgrading from economy to business class accommodations for extra space.

“There is a real physical and financial toll of navigating a world that feels increasingly designed for a one-size-fits-all standard,” Robert, 28, said in a statement, chiding the airline industry for imposing a “boob tax” on her full-figured physique.

Summer Robert says her size R breasts make flying economy uncomfortable, forcing her to pay thousands for roomier airplane seating.

“The biggest struggle is comfort, especially on a long-haul flight,” continued the buxom bombshell, an OnlyFans model from Scotland. “I always end up with the person next to me touching my boobs, and it makes both of us uncomfortable.”

She recently shelled out a whopping $14,686 for a one-way flight from Los Angeles, California, to Melbourne, Australia, paying a premium to make the 16-hour trip in peace, calling the added-on fees a shameless “money grab.”

“The lack of space in economy means I cannot do it,” Robert groaned. “Even something so simple like putting the tray table down to eat my dinner is so difficult; it doesn’t go down all the way.”

“I need to get business, or I won’t be able to eat my dinners on a plane or be touched by another passenger.”

As an Onlyfans model, Robert frequently hits the friendly skies, costing her roughly $50,000 in business class upgrades.

“I burnt my boobs literally two or three weeks ago,” she griped. “I spilled hot, boiling tea on them, and I burnt them completely. My boobs are red, raw, burnt right now.”

Beyond her financial and physical frustrations, Robert claims she’s often objectified by jerks in airports — including gate agents — making jet-setting a triple shot of “hell” for the VIP vixen.

“I want people to know that it isn’t all glitz and glam,” said Robert of her internet-famous orbs. “It’s fun for sure, I love my body so much, but there are definitely downsides.”

To be fair she's using her big cans to make money so I'd say it all evens out

Concussions, CTE, and other traumatic brain injuries in football

Steve19
Rugby = football contact without a helmet. The major findings of research here are that injuries are widespread across sports and most prominent in rugby. SA is a pioneering actor in promoting changes in sports that reduce traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

The SA Sports Science Institute is involved actively in promoting research on TBIs in sports and has links to Ohio State. Their founder, Prof Tim Noakes (OSU bio) recently was a keynote speaker at Ohio State on the opening of a sports nutrition symposium. He is a world renowned sports scientist having published more than 750 papers in his career.

There is a private SA initiative, Sports Concussion South Africa but the most active research is being done Stellenbosch University, the University of Cape Town, and the University of Pretoria. If someone on BP is interested in TBI research, I hope the information below may be helpful. These universities (especially UCT) have an excellent international standing in medicine. I used Gemini AI to summarize individual units within the universities:

University of Cape Town (UCT)
UCT bridges the gap between acute neurosurgical care and the psychological/cognitive side of sports injuries. [
  • UCT Neuroscience Institute: Equipped with major philanthropic and South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) grants, the Neuroscience Institute studies acute head trauma mechanics, long-term brain health, and advanced neuroimaging.
  • ACSENT Laboratory: Operating within the Department of Psychology, this lab investigates the cognitive impacts, ⁠myths, and medical help-seeking behaviours associated with concussions among high school and university students.

Stellenbosch University (SU)
Stellenbosch University is a primary hub for sports-related head trauma research, heavily integrated with student-athlete tracking and international sports bodies.
  • Institute of Sport and Exercise Medicine (ISEM): Operating as an ⁠IOC Research Centre, ISEM frequently publishes epidemiological data tracking high concussion rates among university-level rugby players.
  • Clinical and Cellular Impact Studies: Researchers through the university focus on the cumulative cellular degradation caused by repetitive sub-concussive hits in contact sports.
  • Adolescent Athlete Databases: The university manages the ⁠South African Adolescent Athlete Database, evaluating TBI risks and injuries in youth soccer and rugby academies.

University of Pretoria (UP)
UP's focus is highly clinical, translating field injuries into localized sports medicine policies.
  • Section Sports Medicine: Academic clinicians here publish heavily on the implementation and adherence to ⁠concussion return-to-play protocols among amateur athletes and schoolboy rugby coaches.
  • Sports Concussion South Africa: Faculty members collaborate directly with this national organization to consult for the South African Rugby Union (SARU) on professional safety metrics.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (official thread)

ScriptOhio

Reports: NCAA rejects Texas Tech's appeal to reinstate Sorsby​

Tech's appeal to the NCAA to have quarterback Brendan Sorsby's eligibility reinstated has been denied, according to multiple reports Friday.

Sorsby was ruled ineligible after he acknowledged gambling on sports, including on his own team while at Indiana. The denial of Texas Tech's appeal is separate from Sorsby's lawsuit against the NCAA.

Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech in January after leaving Cincinnati, where he was the starter in 2024 and 2025. He played for the Hoosiers the two seasons before that.

Friday's ruling came while the NCAA and Sorsby were still waiting for a ruling from a Texas judge after the quarterback filed a lawsuit May 18 seeking a temporary injunction against the NCAA in hopes of playing this season for the Red Raiders.

A two-hour hearing was held Monday in the 99th District Court in Lubbock County, where Texas Tech is located. As of Friday, there still was no decision from Judge Ken Curry.

Texas Tech had said May 26 that it was appealing after the NCAA denied the school's initial petition to have Sorsby's eligibility reinstated.

Shit...the NBA's ratings have been waning the past couple seasons. This is totally on point for the NBA, they did the same thing with the frozen envelope when they drafted Ewing, except the league got behind Jordan a season or so later.

2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

calibuck
Not to be negative nelly, but any recruit that DOESN'T pay attention to this single history fact: What school puts the most players into the NFL. Specifically, the position which you play. If they don't know the answer to that question, the recruit might not have the smarts to play for the correct team....

On an interview, one can always score points by noting past successes/troubles at the company one is interviewing. Shows you care enough to research out what's what. Heck with the internet tools these days, if you don't research, that's also saying something.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
Like that this kid is taking his time. Certainly would hope he commits to tOSU, and believe he will, but certainly needs to satisfy himself, and his parents, that one is the best place than the others for his next 3-4 years. tOSU has put a bunch of running backs into the league, but so have other schools. Are there any interviews from him after his visit? Would bet he'll say the right things, and not denigrate any of the other schools he's going to visit.

The Memorial (Jack's Tourney)

calibuck
Guess you gotta have the gold to make the rules. Or be part of things. Guess will look into buying a day pass next year. Knew a couple of people that were members, but at my age, they'll either have gone away, or don't care anymore. Same at Scioto. In grad school ('76), was told that people were leaving Muirfield as the course was 'too hard' to play/enjoy. Certainly from the tips would imagine, but probably from the more forward tees as well. And, to put all my cards on the table, my game isn't as strong as once was. Try to play whichever tees top out around 6,000 yards. Anyway, have attended several pro events in Northern California, so am looking forward to walking Jack's course. PS, on another note, can anyone tell me about the CC of Dublin? Looks to be right across the street from Muirfield. Thanks in advance.

Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

ScriptOhio

NASCAR Hall of Fame driver, announcer Ned Jarrett dies at 93​

i


NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, a two-time Cup champion and longtime broadcaster, died peacefully Thursday of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina, his family announced. He was 93.

Jarrett won 50 races during his career and was the champion of NASCAR's top series in 1961 and 1965, when he won 13 races and finished in the top five in 42 of 54 races despite breaking his back in a June wreck at Greenville-Pickens (SC) Speedway.
.
.
He returned to the sport as a radio broadcaster with MRN in 1978, and he later moved to the television booth with CBS and ESPN. One of his signature moments came at the 1993 Daytona 500, when he called the finish to the race and openly rooted as his son, Dale Jarrett, took the checkered flag ahead of Dale Earnhardt.
.
.
The Jarretts were the second father-son combination to win championships at NASCAR's highest level, and both are members of the Hall of Fame.

2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

ScriptOhio

Iran players receive U.S. visas for 2026 World Cup​


Just sayin': A match between USA and Iran would be interesting. It will probably never happen; however, according to Google AI it is possible.

The implied odds of Iran playing USA in a 2026 World Cup match sit a roughly +669, as calculated by matching predictive tools, because they are drawn into entirely different groups. To make this match happen, both nations must advance from their respective opening stages and align on a fixed knockout bracket.

Group Stage Landscapes
Because the teams are separate, a group-stage meeting is impossible. Their respective chances to win their groups or advance are:
  • The United States (Group D): Drawn with Austria, Paraguay, and Türkiye. The USA is a +125 favorite to win Group D and holds a 78% chance of advancing to the knockout stage.
  • Iran (Group G): Drawn with Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand. Iran is a +650 underdog to win Group G (a 13% implied chance), but holds a strong 74% overall chance to advance to the next round.
Knockout Scenarios
A potential matchup relies on two primary pathways in the bracket:
  • Scenario 1: Round of 32 (Most Realistic): For the quickest meeting, both the USA and Iran must finish as the runners-up in their respective groups. If this alignment occurs, they will face off directly in a knockout elimination match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
  • Scenario 2: Round of 16: If both teams win their groups and successfully win their subsequent Round of 32 matches, they will advance to meet one another in the Round of 16

Skull Session: Ohio State Fans Feel Confident in the Buckeyes Entering Challenging 2026 Slate, Eric Weddle Backs Up His Criticisms of Michigan QB Bryce Underwood

Ohio State fans feel optimistic about the Buckeyes entering a challenging 2026 season, and Eric Weddle backs up his comments about Michigan QB Bryce Underwood.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com
HOW YA FEELIN’? Each offseason, I looked forward to The Athletic’s Ohio State fan survey. It puts a hand on the pulse of Buckeye Nation, which sometimes — but not always — differs from that of the Eleven Warriors audience.

This year, The Athletic’s Cameron Teague Robinson tackled “the state of the program, the Michigan rivalry, the 2025 season, potential College Football Playoff expansion and more.” I’ll pass along some of his survey results in this section. Let me know how you would answer them in the comments below.

With 51 new players on the roster, which newcomer are you most excited to see?​

  • Chris Henry Jr. 68.4%
  • Terry Moore 3%
  • Earl Little Jr. 13.4%
  • Christian Alliegro 4.2%
  • Ja’Kobi Jackson 5.5%
  • Others: 5.5%
Just sayin': I would have probably picked Christain Alliegro.
