B1G Commissioner Tony Petitti (cOck llama)

Honest question. Do you guys think this would be the end of CFB or minor league NFL? Will people care about the Columbus Buckeyes or Tuscaloosa Tide?
I’m already paying less attention than I used to. But I think professional sports fans will more than fill the void left by any disillusioned college sports fans who stop watching.

Airport annoyances

Just sayin': Here is a real airport annoyance, your "swamp crotch" sets off the TSA alarm....... :lol:

People With Swamp Crotch Keep Setting Off TSA Alarms

A woman flying for the first time in 15 years recently shared that both airports she passed through flagged her groin area during the security scan. She had no piercings, no medical devices, and her pockets were empty. The only possible culprit? Her sweaty crotch.

She posted about the experience on Reddit and quickly found out she wasn’t alone. Other travelers chimed in with similar stories, pointing to what one security officer allegedly called “swamp crotch.” The term might sound ridiculous, but it lines up with how the scanners work.

TSA’s millimeter wave technology doesn’t just detect metal. It responds to anything that disrupts the signal, including moisture. TSA expert, Shawna Malvini Redden, told Reader’s Digest that sweat is one of the stranger things that can trigger an alert because of how the waves bounce off water. That kind of false positive happens more than people realize.

Sweat isn’t the only thing that might get you stopped at security. Feminine products, snug clothing, or even body shape can trip the scanner. TSA has said their systems are designed to accommodate a range of body types, but the reality is that some people—especially those with fuller figures—get flagged more often.

Just sayin':

1) It sure doesn't seem like it's been 23 years since that Natty.

2) He is in that "elite club*" also including Rex Kern, Cardale Jones, (and now) Will Howard.
*QBs that I can remember leading Ohio State to a National Championship.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

The Power Four conferences take over regulation and enforcement of player compensation issues. The College Sports Commission -- a new organization administered by power leagues -- was created soon after the settlement went final. The organization hired Bryan Seeley, a former MLB deputy council for compliance and investigations, as CEO of the new group. Power conference schools will be pressured to sign onto the new organization or risk expulsion from their conferences.

The fox will administer the rules for the out of control hen house.

This should be totally fair to the players and not impede their earnings at all.

New York Mets (2x World Series Champions)

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day: New York Mets pay him $1.19M every July 1​

The calendar has turned to July 1, and that means one thing: It's time for Mets fans everywhere to wish each other a Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why? On Tuesday, 62-year-old Bobby Bonilla will collect a check for $1,193,248.20 from the New York Mets, as he has and will every July 1 from 2011 through 2035.

So why does Bonilla get this payday?

In 2000, the Mets agreed to buy out the remaining $5.9 million on Bonilla's contract.

However, instead of paying Bonilla the $5.9 million at the time, the Mets agreed to make annual payments of nearly $1.2 million for 25 years starting July 1, 2011, including a negotiated 8% interest.

At the time, Mets ownership was invested in a Bernie Madoff account that promised double-digit returns, and the Mets were poised to make a significant profit if the Madoff account delivered -- but that did not work out.

Under new owner Steve Cohen, who mentioned the possibility of celebrating Bonilla at Citi Field annually soon after taking over the team, the Mets have embraced Bonilla's day....:lol:

TE Jelani Thurman (National Champion)

Gotta find a way to get this kid on the field. I know Klare is really good as well, but there may have to be a way to get 11 personnel to create some mismatches
Yesterday while watching a replay of the Tennessee game I replayed the Thurman hit on the UT dude who picked up Howard’s dropped ball. Over and over. It was awesome.

SF Jae'Sean Tate (2018 2nd team All B1G, Houston Rockets)

Jae'Sean Tate Signs One-Year, $3 Million Deal to Return to the Houston Rockets

156707_h.jpg


Jae’Sean Tate has continued to make a name for himself in Houston.

And that will remain the case, as the 29-year-old has signed a one-year, $3 million deal to remain with the Rockets, the only team he has played for since coming to the NBA in 2020.

Login to view embedded media
Tate fought through an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign, averaging a career-low 11.3 minutes per game while dealing with a right ankle impingement, which caused him to only play in 52 games (two starts), including missing all of Houston's first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors. After starting in 135 games during his first two NBA seasons from 2020-22, Tate has played in just 148 games over the last three seasons since then.
