Ohio State football QB Julian Sayin admits how he approached the idea of the transfer portal after last season​

Ryan Day has something he’s only had with Justin Fields and CJ Stroud in Columbus with the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2026: a returning starting quarterback.

Ohio State will have QB Julian Sayin back for a second season in 2026 after he was a Heisman finalist as a redshirt freshman last year. Sayin is a former Alabama transfer, so he knows how the portal works, and he was recently asked how he approached the idea of transferring out after last season with Ohio State.

Ohio State’s Julian Sayin keeps it real about the transfer portal ​

Every player has to weigh the idea of transferring after each season, it’s just how college football goes. We see players in good situations transfer to other teams for a bigger payday all the time. Sayin though, never even thought about leaving Columbus.

“I didn’t talk to anybody, and there was no reason to talk to me,” Sayin told On3’s Chris Low recently. “I wasn’t going anywhere, I would say everybody probably already knew that and wasn’t going to waste their time. Why would you leave here and play quarterback anywhere else?”

There was zero reason for Julian Sayin to walk away from Ohio State ​

Quarterbacks want to play at Ohio State because of Day’s ability to develop them, but it makes it even easier when you’re throwing the ball to Jeremiah Smith. Ohio State will return its star wide receiver for his junior season and Bo Jackson is back to lead the running back position as a sophomore. Add in an experienced offensive line and there was really no reason for Sayin to even think about leaving.

Ohio State brought in an NFL offensive coordinator for what could be Sayin’s last season in college. Working with Arthur Smith is going to be a positive for the 6-foot-1 quarterback and getting ready for the next level.

Sayin needs to take a step in his second season starting both in the pocket and showing the ability to run when needed. If Sayin can take a step forward in his second season, Ohio State’s going to have a good shot at accomplishing its biggest goals.

Just sayin':

1. Very true.....

"Despite not yet making the NBA Finals or winning a title as a pro, one thing Conley can hang his hat on is that he has won the NBA Sportsmanship Award four times, which is the most of all time. It’s hard to remember there ever being anything negative said about how Conley handles himself on and off the court.

Even though he was only in Columbus for a short amount of time, he has been a player that all future Buckeyes should model themselves after when it comes to carrying themselves."

2. "Batman and Robin", who would have guessed back when this picture was taken that Robin would become the bigger NBA star?



3. Mike Conley has done OK money wise too. i.e. over $286M in just his NBA contracts.

Paul Skenes is really good at baseball - now career ERA of 1.97, took a no no into the 7th again last night - hasn't walked a guy in a month

obviously. now if you had 46 z's then you would be right.

Z --> Z^2 + c = Zzzzzzzzzzz ​

Zzzzzzzzzzz ​

Zzzzzzzzzzz​

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz​

See?

Pros:
Really cool to play in Bernabeau - one of the planets most legendary stadiums
Week 8 game in Europe likely means Week 9 bye week. I like that! Bye week in the middle of the season is always nice.
Decent mild weather. Cincinnati isn't frigid in November (I live here) but we avoid a cold weather game.

Cons:
I'm so sick of NFL Europe games. This is the fourth time in five years Atlanta has had to go abroad (2x London, 1x Berlin, 1x Madrid)
We lose a home game for this
Miss me with the "grow the game" nonsense. I know why we were chosen. Atlanta host Spain 2x in group play and (likely) 1x in knockout stages in the World Cup. This is some messed up type of international corporate synergy where some knob at the NFL office said "Hey! They'll love the Falcons once they play twice in the Benz! Hate it.

True dat. Everyone's crystal ball works better with hindsight. The future is harder to predict. Measuring heart in a player is also a hard thing to do, but may ultimately be the key to production. And yeah, also believe that tOSU has had a higher percentage of 'hits' than 'misses'.

so apparently 5 for your last 8 isn't enough to earn more playing time with this coach... son didn't start, wasn't in the line up at all, but did come in to catch the last 2 innings, got one AB (fly out). this coach is a clown, ready to be done with this season - 3 more games

To be fair, at times it’s not hard to argue that Tate is the #1 WR. I know JJ is JJ. But still …

Airline flight delayed for bizarre reason as humanoid robot triggers safety query​

Bebop the robot drew crowds by dancing at the gate before a lithium battery issue grounded it temporarily​

A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed for about an hour recently for a most unusual reason.

A humanoid robot had been brought on board as a passenger. But it couldn't take to the skies right away.

The 75-pound robot, named Bebop, was traveling from Oakland, California, to San Diego on Thursday, April 30 — and attracted a crowd at the gate as it danced for everyone before boarding.

"A lot of people came, took videos and had their kids come and give it high-fives," Eily Ben-Abraham, an employee with Elite Event Robotics of Dallas, Texas, told Fox News Digital. Elite Event Robotics rents out interactive robots for events.

The delay in the flight stemmed from an issue with the robot’s battery — which exceeded airline limits, the company said.

You can limit the players ability to earn a living right after you do the same to the coaches.

Show me one coach who has ever gone on one of their moralizing rants and said other coaches need to be restricted in movement and income.

Just one please.




Sorry Ryan, I know you are probably coming from a good place but coaches don't have the right to a soap box on this while you have Lane Kiffin in your fraternity.

Coyle signs 6-year, $36 million contract to stay with Blue Jackets​

Charlie Coyle signed a six-year, $36 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. It has an average annual value of $6 million.

The 34-year-old center had 58 points (20 goals, 38 assists) in 82 games with the Blue Jackets this season, his first with them after being acquired in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on June 27, 2025.

"I've seen what we have," Coyle said. "I've seen our potential and I'm excited for it and it's something I want to be here for and work towards and the team we have, the depth we have, it's something that excites me and something that I want to be a part of going forward, and something that we can build because it's there. I know it's there."

Coyle could have become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

"When you go back to last year when we made the trade for Charlie, we said we were looking for a right-hand shot center and certainly we were happy to make the trade," Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said. "But then having Charlie all this year, getting to know him as a not only as a player, but as a person, we knew that he cares about the team, cares about winning, and cares about the community so when we met at the end of the season and talked to all the players, Charlie was very clear that if there's that opportunity and we can work it out, he'd like to stay."
