I think you’ve got to move Bama up to number one here, that is a real quality loss

I don’t think that Alabama is measurably worse than Notre Dame or Miami. I don’t think their resume is worse. But consider: I don’t want to watch them play football again.

Broke: Miami over Notre Dame

Woke: Both of them over Alabama

@JeffPassan tweeted
Zac Gallen does not have a deal and is not close to finalizing one.

That’s a solid add to the rotation.
The Chicago Cubs are close to finalizing an agreement with free-agent starter Zac Gallen on a multi-year deal that will pay him an average of $22 million a year. Gallen, with three top-10 Cy Young finishes, has averaged 32 starts a year for the past 4 seasons.

Today keeps getting better
Doug Gottlieb threw a chair tonight and for good reason: Green Bay was on the wrong end of the least likely comeback of the season, losing an 11-point lead (with the ball!) in the final 2:53.

Remember that card of the guy who had something inappropriate written on the knob of his bat? You know, the guy with the more famous older brother who also played in the majors?

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that the Chicago Bulls are doing it again.

This is a judgment free zone. If you need to break into a liquor store and pass out in the bathroom because you’re a raccoon who’s having a hard time, that’s ok. It’s called self care

The Chicago Bulls rejected a deal that would’ve netted them a super first next summer to draft a player who was miles away from contributing even before his season-ending surgery.

Artūras Karnišovas will never beat the allegations.

The league has implied it’s not yet big enough for the kind of revenue sharing players want. But history shows revenue sharing is a question of power, not prosperity.
