Can you feel the trickle….Oh good. More public money going to pay for Temu Jerry's vanity project. Always important for our tax dollars to support billionaires.
ODOT staff recommending $35 million in state funding for roads near new Browns stadium
Public records show ODOT staffers are suggesting a $35 million award for Brook Park. That’s nearly a quarter of the $150 million that the TRAC, a state council, is expected to award this spring.www.news5cleveland.com

Florida State kicker arrested for alleged battery on law enforcement officer, resisting with violence
Conor McAneney joined the Seminoles team as a transfer in January
Florida State kicker Conor McAneney was arrested Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on allegations of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence and trespassing an occupied structure, according to Broward County jail records.Court documents list the first two counts as third-degree felonies. Jail records showed McAneney was being held as of Thursday morning. All counts listed as pending and bond set at $0.00.
A Florida State spokesperson told Noles247 that McAneney has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities.
The arrest comes as Florida State is in the middle of its spring practice schedule. The team is not currently practicing and is scheduled to resume workouts next Tuesday, with additional practices set later next week and through the end of March.

McAneney joined Florida State as a transfer in January after spending the 2025 season at Division II Quincy University in Illinois. He appeared in 11 games as a placekicker and kickoff specialist, converting 7 of 10 field-goal attempts with a long of 45 yards. He also handled kickoffs, averaging 60.2 yards on 49 attempts with 16 touchbacks.
Originally from Northern Ireland, McAneney comes from a non-traditional football background and previously played Gaelic football before transitioning to American football.
Just sayin': Obviously McAneney didn't read the memo yet that advised all Free Shoes football players to only commit crimes within the jurisdiction of the Tallassee Police Department. The "get out of jail free pass" that they enjoy in Tallassee does not extend to other Florida police departments including those in Broward County.

NCAA softens targeting punishment: Committee nixes automatic suspensions for players
After more than a decade of complaints from coaches, the NCAA is eliminating the automatic carryover suspension for first-time offenders
The targeting rule in college football has long been a subject of discontent among coaches, and finally, change is coming to the penalty structure.
The Division I FBS Oversight Committee approved a one-year trial rule on Thursday that fundamentally reshapes targeting penalties. Now, first-time offenders will be allowed to participate in the next game, regardless of which half the foul occurs. Previously, players charged with targeting in the second half were booted from the game and suspended for the first half of the next game.
A player disqualified for targeting a second time during a season will be required to miss the first half of the next game. A third targeting penalty triggers a full-game suspension. No player in the FBS was charged with three targeting penalties in 2025.
Conferences will now also have the option to file an appeal for second offenses. The appeal can also include the player's first targeting foul. If the NCAA's national coordinator of football officials overturns the targeting foul, the player will not have to sit out the next game.
The baseline, in-game penalties remain. Players charged with targeting will be ejected for the remainder of the contest, and a 15-yard penalty will be assessed to the offending team. The NCAA implemented the targeting foul in 2008, and the ejection penalty was added in 2013. Conference offices have been allowed to appeal disqualification decisions made in the second half of games, further fueling coaches' campaign against the penalty structure.
