Is Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime' simply… horrible?
In the decades since its release, "Wonderful Christmastime" has become a seasonal staple beloved by some but loathed by others.

#HLMBB Power Rankings – Week 4
Good news, everyone! Toledo’s not on the list this week! Sure, we used the Rockets playing a sizable number of Horizon League teams as a running bit for the last couple of weeks. But now that the non-conference schedule is taking a pause for a bit and conference play is about to fire up, it’s time to get focused on the teams that are actually in this league.

When Tristan Enaruna left Cleveland State and landed in the G League, little did he know that a year later, he'd return to Cleveland, only this time as a member of the Charge. Greg Kula has the story.
The E in CLE Stands for Enaruna: Catching up with the Former Viking
It was less than two years ago that Tristan Enaruna hit a jumper off one foot to send the Cleveland State Vikings to the quarterfinals of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). Now, Enaruna is firmly set in the starting lineup for the G-League Cleveland Charge and has many people talking. Just like his college career, his professional career didn’t start in Cleveland, but he’s getting his footing in the same town where he dominated as a Viking for two years.

#HLMBB Power Rankings – Week 3
There were very few highlights for the Horizon League on the men’s side this week, so much so that you, the fan, will probably not be happy with who ended up on top of this week’s Power Rankings. So, with that said, here’s the Horizon League men’s basketball Power Rankings after Week 3:

Found out that Cleveland State's SID left. Bummer. Gonna miss that guy, especially for men's hoops.
Also a bad day for Cleveland sports media who rewrote his releases and passed it off as original reporting.

Reading this reinforced that she was an asshole beforehand AND that the process of assimilation into the right-wing Borg is likely similar to everyone else in this collective. To. a. dollar.
We partnered with @pablo.show to investigate Riley Gaines' rise to MAGA stardom. @msjpauly.bsky.social dug up docs that reveal the right-wing funders behind her ascent and spoke to puzzled teammates who wonder what happened to her.

Now we can work on Bryan Hambley boat-racing Allison Russo in the primary for Secretary of State.
Or tell her to run for Auditor, so I don't have to.

In a statement former U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan says he won’t be running for Ohio governor.
“After careful consideration, much prayer and reflection, and after long conversations with my family, my closest friends and advisors, I’ve made the decision not to run for governor in 2026.”
