Things that interest me: most sports - I'm big into fantasy football, college basketball, Cubs baseball, and Michigan football/bball, lefty politics, music - all variations of rock and Americana, movies & TV, anything that distracts from the hellscape

Michigan has had 2nd down & 8+ yards to go 9 times today.
They've run the ball on 8 of them. Exactly 1 of those 8 runs gained more than 2 yards.
They picked up a first down the one time they threw the ball.

I'm getting really tired of watching Michigan run up the middle for no gain or 1 yard every time they have a 2nd & long.
Beyond predictable on offense right now

Michigan is giving way too much cushion to these OSU receivers, especially on 3rd downs. I get you don't want to get beat over the top, but some of these 3rd & medium conversions have been way too easy

Oh man, I think that's gonna be a touchback

This weekend is a stark reminder why betting on sports is dumb.
I'm in an NFL confidence pool with 26 participants. 16 of them have picked all 4 games this week wrong so far.
6 people have 1 game right. The other 4 have 2 right.

It's a much easier question than the article makes it out to be.
In the 50 yrs prior to hiring Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss had three 10-win seasons and one season where they finished the year ranked higher than 13th in the AP poll.
6 yrs under Kiffin - 10+ wins 4 times, on track for 4th AP top-12 finish

Why exactly is Lane Kiffin so sought-after?
Why would even an LSU-caliber program want anything to do with someone with a history of awkward endings?

It's laughable to call Dershowitz 'charismatic' or to say he and Loesch are aligned w/ the majority of Americans.
The reason Weiss picked these names - Loesch and Dersh are both staunchly pro-Israel. The only thing Piker has in common with Tucker/Fuentes is that he's critical of Israel.

How do you go into halftime with a timeout in your pocket there if you're Michigan?
Week after week, Sherrone Moore demonstrates that he's not the guy for this job.

FS1 just had a breaking "Upset Alert" go across their bottom line because #4 Arizona beat #3 UConn. Are we really calling that an upset?
Also, that Arizona-UConn game aired on FS1. I don't need a 'breaking news' style update about a game I just watched on your network

This makes me happy.
Hopefully Shota is better in 2026 than he was down the stretch in 2025, but I'm glad he gets a chance to end his time with the Cubs on a higher note.

LHP Shota Imanaga accepts the qualifying offer and will return to the Cubs per multiple reports, including MLB's @Feinsand.

I absolutely love that the judge who wrote this opinion started it with a quote from the current Chief Justice - daring him to overturn a decision that uses his own words.
"But when the Trump Administration reframed its request as a demand to redistrict congressional seats based on their racial makeup, Texas lawmakers immediately jumped on board."

Donald Trump cares about two kinds of people - those who give him money, and those who say nice things about him.
If you do both, he'll let you literally get away with murder.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Maybe my brain is warped from watching too much SVU in my life, but the more details come out about Nuzzi, the more likely it seems to me that she was abused by older men when she was a child/teen and it's part of why she's drawn to these men that are 30+ years older than her.

Love it when the refs take the game out of the players' hands.

To be clear here - Flynn was guilty of the crime he was accused of. He was going to plead guilty until trump waved his presidential wand and made the charges go away
Now Trump's DOJ is going to give Flynn millions in taxpayer money for the inconvenience of being rightfully prosecuted for his crimes

I was not familiar with 'Designing Women's game.
This is how every Dem politician should be talking to and about their Republican counterparts.
It's wild how relevant this speech from a TV episode that aired in 1988 still is today.

Literally every single county in Virginia voted more blue this year than they did in 2024.
Dems flipped GOP-controlled commissioner seats in Georgia blue.
Mikie Sherrill won in NJ by double the margin Kamala Harris did last year.
It'll get worse for the GOP if they don't read into these results
