Well, as I suggested, I didn’t think he had the mental spark to create this shit-vision on his own, but he has the position/power to cram it down our throats.

I won’t pretend to understand anything about college eligibility rules and NIL stuff but I thought this was a pretty interesting read. My expectation since the new NIL rules came down was that top college programs would get even stronger and some degree of player development would shift to college rather than the minors, and this could accelerate that trend.

Works great for the NFL. Who wouldn’t want their lower-level player development for free?

Money for nothing and the kids for free?

Umpire Pat Hoberg has been fired for sharing a betting account with a professional poker player who was betting on baseball. No evidence Hoberg himself bet on baseball or that there was any attempt to influence game outcomes, but Hoberg shot himself in the nuts by deleting material text messages during the investigation.

Boone is such a whiny bitch. Was it classy when your entire team started sulking and acting like children as soon as Judge dropped that ball?
