Winfield was fearless. Still mad at Urban for not offering his kid who turned out to be a stud.

I was also a big Nate Clements fan when he was a Buckeye.

That 1998 secondary was so good, freshman Nate Clements was the nickel back.

IIRC he went on to be the highest paid NFL defensive player of all time at one point wit the 49ers ?(long since broken).

2026 DC DL Carter Meadows (ttun Verbal)

That's what's so frustrating about a segment of our fanbase. OSU in no way had a team full of former 5stars last season, they had a complete team, which yes, they had some former 5stars. But they also had a former 3star at QB, a former 5star IOL playing LT for most of the season, an unranked TE transfer from the MAC, and multiple transfers in general who no one knew would mesh with the team. That's what makes the BS narrative that Day "bought" this team so laughable. He had to make a complete team, and no amount of money thrown at players is going to create a team at this level. That might work in the NFL(might), but grown men who are professionals don't have to worry about classes, fans on campus, etc. And OSU didn't have the jealousy or contract issues that you heard about at other schools, and the best example is OSU being the only team not to lose a major contributor, or someone who could be starting next year to the Portal.

If we can keep up this quality of roster retention, and I think we will, that will keep us a contender every season in its own right. I know some people want to talk down on the portal and claim "we can't rely on it" but we have shown we can and will use the portal well to fill slots that are needed, and that will continue as well. In the end can you really rely on a HS kid who has never set foot on a college field either? I know you can't force players to enter the portal but there is always going to be decent players there for the taking.

High School Marion Local Flyers

If it's not a talent thing then why penalize them for being successful?

Why can't other D7 teams run better schemes?
This.

Full disclosure - I'm from Coldwater, one of their major rivals.

There is literally nothing special about the school. They don't breed supermen there. They just play football very, very well. They don't excel at any other sport like this.

Now, I don't like them. My school wins every game except one (them) almost every year. There is no reason to punish them for their success

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.

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:
