Al Michaels is the absolute worst announcer for big moments. Remember the huge Chargers playoff comeback a few years ago?

Giants off-season being like Framber, Hentges, Daniel Susac and Tyler Rogers seems fine

I think I've clocked 19 degrees as the wind chill that will make me audibly wince. 24 is bad but I'm not like struggling

Wasn't the whole point of signing Rivers that he already knows the Colts playbook/schemes/etc? I'm sure there would be many options before Rivers (or Newton) without that factored in

Normalize not apologizing, when you haven’t done anything wrong.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

I miss the tule fog so much

YAZ

Susac is a cool pickup. Hard to stick as an R5 backup C but hopefully mentorship from Bailey

Pete Alonso to the Orioles wow

Wyoming's team!

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally. The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media. This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

This is SUCH a first world complaint I know but Door Dashers that are riding an ebike so it takes 3 times as long as if they were driving and you don't get any recourse whatsoever for the additional time

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

All Star Week in Philly so I can theoretically go see this pick being made. Sick.

The Giants moved up to the fourth overall pick via the MLB Draft lottery. They had originally been No. 12 in the pre-Draft order, so that’s a huge jump for them. Randy Winn, fittingly, served as their Draft lottery representative.

Still pretty torn up by Marco Luciano being gone

Eagles still more than fine for playoffs with Washington twice and the Raiders left. 11-6

Chargers are such a loathsome franchise to me ugh

I cannot STAND the Big Dom guy. Why does sirianni need a body guard

We got a 2219

Notre Dame denying a bowl game. They were going to be matched up with BYU which was the 2nd highest ranked team left out. It was essentially the marquee bowl game of the slate but it's called the Pop Tarts Bowl. if it's called the Sunshine Bowl or any myriad of legacy names they still deny?

There is going to have to be a 30 for 30 on the Birmingham Bowl stuff

Pippen in the HOF without Jordan

The Guy Teams Were Willing To Face After Intentionally Walking Barry Bonds has now been elected to the Hall of Fame over Barry Bonds

Jeff Kent before Barry? Throw the whole HOF away

Merrill Kelly to Giants?

Would have been a really fun game. Bowls are essentially becoming the NIT now.

Weak!

Just overall this bracket has so much less overall fun levels than last year on paper. I remember thinking how cool SMU/Penn State in the freezing cold, Notre Dame/Indiana in-state rivalry in the cold. Ohio State/Tennessee with the entire state of Tennessee going to Columbus. Special.

A mostly official, but not completely official, side-by-side of the playoff brackets the committee and the simulated BCS would've generated at season's end:

My argument against the playoff from its introduction is that it's the only postseason in college sports that doesn't offer a bid to every conference champion and that remains true

8 was probably a good number. I don't see anyone complaining about the top 8 teams.

I think Miami getting in was a make up call for what happened with the ACC championship

Wow Notre Dame left out kinda wild

I can't help but feel prompted to remind you that CBS goes on the air and starts revealing the NCAA Tournament bracket literally within three minutes of the clock striking 6 p.m. ET 😀

I didn't realize this Fernando Mendoza guy on Indiana was such a goober. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I didn't think he would be such a zero aura guy.

According to this cursed AI ad the Super Bowl is at Oracle Park?

The Patti LaBelle "where my background singers?" video is one of the best holiday traditions

Now that JMU has won wouldn't Duke want to lose so the ACC gets a payout?

BAN CHEST PASSES

Is Bama still a lock if they get BTFO by Georgia?

So refreshing finally watching the best player in the MLS on the league's biggest stage. Of course I am talking about Pacific Tiger Tristan Blackmon.

Man, everyone hyped up the white monster energy drink so I got it for the first time. Why does this taste like orange juice and gasoline mixed together? And Monster has such delicious flavors this is bottom tier
