• Josh Simmons dislocated and fractured his wrist in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Simmons “is getting a second evaluation on his wrist, and we’ll see what goes from there.”

McLaurin has best game of season in return​

After playing in just one of the Washington Commanders’ previous eight games due to a quad injury, Terry McLaurin returned to action on Sunday Night Football and had his best game of the season against the Denver Broncos.

McLaurin caught seven passes for 96 yards – both season-highs – including a touchdown with the game on the line on 4th-and-goal in overtime. Lined up against reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II, McLaurin beat Surtain on a slant route.


McLaurin became the first player to score a touchdown against Surtain since Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.


The touchdown gave the Commanders a chance to win the game in overtime, but their game-winning 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful when Broncos edge rusher Nick Bonitto knocked down a pass by Marcus Mariota. Nevertheless, the night showed a clear return to form for McLaurin, who had just 13 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown in his first four games of the season.

Bosa’s fifth forced fumble sets up scoop-and-score​

Joey Bosa became the NFL’s outright leader in forced fumbles with a game-changing strip sack in the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

With the Steelers leading 7-3 to start the second half, Bosa rushed around the outside of Steelers right guard Mason McCormick to hit Aaron Rodgers from behind and knock the ball out of his hands. His Bills teammate Christian Benford scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a go-ahead touchdown, and the Bills never looked back from there, going on to win the game 26-7.


The forced fumble was Bosa’s fifth of the season, breaking a tie with Aidan Hutchinson, Nate Landman and Josh Sweat for the most in the NFL this year.

Like Ransom, Bosa unfortunately suffered an injury of his own on Sunday, leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with a hamstring issue. It’s uncertain if and how long Bosa – who played in all of the Bills’ first 12 games after missing time with injuries in all of the last three seasons – will be sidelined by the injury.

“We’ll see where that goes,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday.

That stupid trapezoid in the NHL. The goalie should be able to go anywhere he wants.

The PGA tour does a lot of dumb shit as well. I remember Dustin Johnson winning the US Open several years ago and in the final round they stated he "may have" committed a 1 stroke penalty but wouldn't find out until after he completed his round.

I don't follow the NHL. I guess I don't know anything about the trapezoid.
You've got a point about golf. "Keep your own score, but if it's wrong, we're going to penalize you." So if you get penalized and didn't realize it, you turn in the wrong score and get penalized, again.
I still say the fumble out of the endzone is the worst rule I know of in sports.

Not $12 worth. Oops

I don't think most of us are expecting a constant high ceiling but is it too much to ask to make the tournament somewhat consistently? Or at least not to constantly stumble away games against bad teams like Pitt?

I just don't think Diebler as a basketball coach purely is good enough, he's not really doing much to show us that he's not just a continuation of his former boss

If you can't win the major NIL battles you need a coach who can get the best out of that next wave of players. I do not think Diebler is that coach.

agreed....if Tennessee and Florida can be in the tourney almost yearly, then OSU can make it at least every other year. I fully realize Ohio doesn't have the talent in state that many states close to our size do. Perhaps the cycle will change someday. We don't even play in the top 2 or 3 of tough conferences.

I was all in on Diebler but I'm now all out. He just doesn't have it and it's obvious to me. He doesn't even seem to be average.....and I'm shocked about that. Smith let OSU drift too long under Holtmann and I'm afraid if Diebler is our coach next year then it will be even harder to drum up NIL support for JD's replacement in '26-'27

Spotted him on the sideline of The Game. Guy was on the path to being one of the greats. Hope he is good.

So Franklin is just going to take PSU's whole recruiting class to VaTech with him?

Classic

And use it to be top 3 in the ACC in a few years. Franklin works well with little pressure

Seems like Diebs & Co are getting a lot of top recruits to campus. We'll see how that parlays into the ink drying on NLOID, but getting guys like this to visit never hurts.

JMU is becoming a great minor league program.

They need to start requesting Transfer Fees (like in European football) for teams taking their coaches and players.

This guy couldn't catch a cold.

3 point win for Jam Session. Congrats!

Trying to figure out how the alarm on my phone works after sleeping in four days in a row with no alarm set.

Thanks guys for the torrents. I appreciate it!

Just in case I pop up in here again, I'm all good, great actually. Got a new gig and it's insane! Can't even believe it. Still waiting to wake up from the dream. However, I've basically abandoned my internet hangouts/deleted all social media and that's been good for the brain. Gonna keep it that way. That being said, fuck Michigan. Bunch of cheating losers.
