Ginormous meteor screaming toward Earth.

Seeing an SEC “It just means more” commercial during a break in Alabama being trucked 24-0 by Indiana seems cosmic.

I’m very happy for my friend Chris DeVille. Rolling Stone magazine named his book, “Such Great Heights: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion,” one of the best music books of 2025. Rock on, Chris. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-... deng

People often ask me what I miss from my former life of 30 years as a sportswriter. It’s the conversations & laughter. Ohio State broadcaster Paul Keels & I go back to the early ‘90s when we worked in Cincinnati. Crossed paths this morning & shared war stories for nearly an hour. Early Christmas gift

Thanks to Sister M. Xavier Schulze, once co-captain of the Ohio State women’s basketball team, for allowing me and photographer Logan Wallace to visit her in Nebraska. Thanks to the university for sending us there. Here’s the story: alumnimagazine.osu.edu/story/called...

Congrats to Paul Hoynes, an all-time great guy & Cleveland legend, for being voted the BBWAA Career Excellence Award for meritorious contributions to baseball writing. Good time to break out my 2-part podcast episode with Hoynsie from 2024. The link to part 1: evergreenpodcasts.com/press-box-ac...

When did the Pittsburgh Steelers move to Ohio? How is the local Fox station in Columbus, Ohio showing the Steelers game instead of the home opener for the Cincinnati Bengals, which, last I checked, played in Ohio? @fox289.bsky.social

Same sky as on this day 24 years ago. Not much else the same.

Announcers keep talking about Miami and Notre Dame’s “heated rivalry.” Tonight is only the 5th time they’ve played since 1990, and first time in 8 years. All of us old folks know Miami-Notre Dame was an intense series during the 1980s, but if you only play 5 times in 35 years, how is that a rivalry?

Wrote about the Ohio 4-H Mobile Design Classroom, provided free to Ohioans statewide by The Ohio State University Extension. The bus, packed with technology, will visit 30 towns and cities in 26 counties throughout Ohio this year to provide tech access and STEM education. www.osu.edu/impact/conne...

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

ESPN opted out of its $550 million contract with Major League Baseball beginning next year. ESPN signed a 5-year deal with WWE that averages $325 million a year. It’s deemed better to show pro wrestling than baseball. Yes, the “E” in ESPN stands for entertainment, but I grew up with baseball. Damn.

NCAA President Charlie Baker said said the NCAA has had “good conversations” with TV partners CBS and Warner Bros., whose deal runs through 2032 at the cost of around $1.1 billion a year. Say goodbye to the NCAA bracket as we know and love it. All life is a Monopoly game. apnews.com/article/marc...

hey you want to see some old timey pictures of the toledo rockets mascot www.utoledo.edu/mascot/histo...

Training to join the new Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.

Beautiful day wandering the central Kentucky land of horses and bourbon.

The new Browns helmet:

Do you know who would know what is in the Epstein files? The lawyer who prosecuted the case. Oh, wait.👀

I live in Columbus. Why am I helping to pay for a football stadium in Cleveland?

Recently had the pleasure of spending time with Dave Barker, member of Ohio State’s 1960 NCAA championship basketball team. He still wears the watch that teammates, including Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek, and Bob Knight, were awarded after winning the title. It still keeps perfect time 65 years later.

Congrats to my good friend John Clay on his announced retirement. We've known each other since the 1980s when I was sports editor of the Kentucky Kernel. John's had a tremendous career, & he's an even better person than a journalist. Rock on @johnclayiv.bsky.social www.kentucky.com/sports/colle...

It has been 5 weeks, and I still can’t believe Houston didn’t get a shot off on the final possession of the NCAA championship game.

Leaf Blower Guy thought Sunday morning on Mother’s Day would be a good time to crank up the noise pollution.

Great story, photos, and video produced by the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center about how surgeons collaborated to save Ohio State wrestling coach Tom Ryan’s leg after his near-fatal car accident. Great work @viviano health.osu.edu/health/bone-...

Cavs lead the Heat 82-38 in Miami. Pat Riley might suit up and check in at age 80. He’d show more pride than his team.

Ernie Johnson: “This might be the worst game I’ve ever watched” 😂😂😂

If you have the Heat +38, you’re still losing at halftime.

Houston’s possessions down the stretch were horrendous.

Worst possession ever. Ever

18 fouls called in 12 minutes. This is just stupid now. They called 3 in the first half.

3 fouls in the first half, 15 in the first 9 minutes of the second. My single least favorite thing about college hoops. "We're halfway through the game, so let's completely change the rules now!"

Did the NCAA send in a totally different officiating crew at halftime?

14 fouls called in 8 minutes. Someone must have told them we were enjoying the first half too much.

I’d let Houston guard my soul.

Maybe these officials are watching a really good Netflix show that I’m not aware of. Way to ruin the end of an awesome Final Four game.

Lux notched a two-out single in the 7th for the Reds' first hit.

Reds: No hits for 6 innings, no runs for 34 innings. Trail 3-0

The Reds won't break the record for consecutive 1-0 losses. Turang's 2-run HR just made it 3-0 Brewers in the 5th.

Goal #894 for Ovechkin, this ties Gretzky

Alex Ovechkin scores on a third period power play against the Blackhawks to tie Wayne Gretzky’s career scoring record at 894 goals! Capital One Arena erupts!
