Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

Class action lawsuit filed over funding plan for Browns' stadium​

Ohio Republicans' strategy for funding a new domed stadium for the Cleveland Browns using residents' unclaimed funds violates multiple provisions of the state and federal constitutions, according to a class action lawsuit filed in county court.

Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann and former state Rep. Jeffrey Crossman, both Democrats, filed the expected legal action in Franklin County Common Pleas on Monday on behalf of three named Ohio residents, as well as all other individuals whose unclaimed funds were being held by the state as of June 30, 2025. They have asked the court for an injunction to stop the plan.

The lawsuit argues that taking money from the state's Unclaimed Funds Account to pay for the stadium that Haslam Sports Group is planning for suburban Brook Park, south of Cleveland, violates constitutional prohibitions against taking people's private property for government use, as well as citizens' due process rights. The city of Cleveland has fought the plan.

The litigation challenges specific provisions in the state's two-year, $60 billion operating budget that diverts more than $1 billion in unclaimed funds to create an Ohio Cultural and Sports Facility Performance Grant Fund and designate $600 million for the Browns as its first grant.

Just sayin': Who knew the state of Ohio had $60B in unclaimed funds?

SG Malaki Branham (B1G Freshman of the Year, Washington Wizards)

San Antonio Spurs Trade Malaki Branham to Washington Wizards After Three Seasons

Login to view embedded media
The No. 22 overall pick in the 2022 draft, Branham started strong in his rookie season in San Antonio, starting 32 games and averaging 10.2 points per contest. His production decreased slightly to 9.2 points per game in his sophomore season, but he still started 29 games. His role decreased significantly last season, however, as Branham played just 9.1 minutes per game with zero starts and averaged five points per appearance.

His role in the Spurs’ backcourt was unlikely to increase after the Spurs used the No. 2 overall pick to draft Rutgers guard Dylan Harper to pair with 2024 first-round pick Stephon Castle and veteran point guard De’Aaron Fox. In Washington, however, he’ll have the opportunity for a fresh start for a team that went just 18-64 last season.

That said, he’ll still have to earn his way into the Wizards’ rotation as they already upgraded their backcourt this offseason by trading for veteran guard CJ McCollum and drafting Texas guard Tre Johnson, giving them an overstocked roster of guards and wings that they’ll need to make some cuts from.

How's the weather?

Some of the information coming out of the TX flooding is astounding.

Parts received nearly a foot and a half of rain in a 24-hour period.

It was a widespread area of large amounts of rainfall, so a ton was dumped all over this Hill region of the state.

The river rose 29 feet in an hour (from 3 feet to 32 feet) at one spot.

From 9am to 10am the river rose 1 foot every 2 minutes!

This kinda sums it up well.
https://www.ksat.com/news/local/202...y-4-thats-more-than-niagara-falls-daily-flow/
The Kerr County area experienced an extraordinary rainfall event, with 10 to 12 inches of rain falling in just a few hours on July 4.

The volume of water that poured down is estimated to be more than 100 billion gallons, a staggering amount that surpasses the daily flow over Niagara Falls.

Anyone who watches more film or is into that kind of stuff have player comps for delane/bradford/womack and could all 3 play on the field together?

Blaine Bradford is a devastating downhill safety prospect, often comped to Lathan Ransom.

Bralan Womack is the one with top ten NFL Draft potential. Just checks every single box you want in a safety. His 247 comp to Caleb Downs.

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Found this on Buckeyehuddle:
A DT from Eugene, OR just decommitted from Oregon. The below is what the Oregon side is saying about it. I swear recruiting gets weirder by the day.
This is wild. So his father is not currently in the US. And wants to be.

I was told this has nothing to do with Geralds or any other recruits. He wasn't pushed out.

But another program, from the ACC (Not Miami) told him they could get his dad back into the US. Oregon would obviously love to do that for him but absolutely did not feel comfortable making that promise.

This might be the wildest recruiting request I've ever heard(and that says a lot). And the rumored ACC school is UNC. Bill has networks everywhere

2026 NC DL Elijah Littlejohn (Penn St. Verbal)

Mentioned above, but Wiltfong expects us to circle back on EDGE Elijah Littlejohn if we miss on KJ Ford.

Littlejohn is committed to Penn State.

Correction: it does seem like we would be recruiting Elijah Littlejohn as a LB.

Interesting development considering Cincere Johnson's flexibility to shift down to EDGE and Simeon Caldwell almost assuredly playing LB at Ohio State.
