The real stars of this national championship game are the three guys in stripes. Can’t wait until later in the week to see whether it’s a Florida congressman or a Texas lawmaker who screams for an investigation into the refs.

I gotta say, I *love* that Candace Parker is going brain-to-brain with Jay Wright breaking down that final inbound of Houston/Purdue. She knows game. Far more of it than any damned fool questioning why she’s on the desk.

I feel like that’s the worst Opus Dei costume from a high school drama class production of “The Da Vinci Code.”

Anyone else thinking that Man City is deliberately tanking? Flying under the radar because they need enough of you to forget the allegations of more than a hundred fair-play violations?

Time to put Tua in.

So, we now have Mountain Dew and Red Bull both sporting commercials where the fictional animals who want to drink them are unable to. Penguins and seals. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Florida/Tennessee — first one to 60 wins?

Looks like the administration just fucked up and personally insulted the FU (Fullcast Universe.) @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

I’m certain that Rodgers would take this gracefully in stride, with a calm demeanor fully devoid of jealousy and paranoia.

What is the NFL record for “fewest yards per penalty” for a game? The Commanders are now at 7 flags for 27 yards (3.86 yards per penalty)

Metal. Pure metal. And mettle. Can we medal?

Folks, we *tried* telling you that a 12-team playoff was a bad idea. We just didn’t know how bad the consequences would be.

It was density.

The Packers are going to finish in the bottom half of their division. Trash.

It’s official. The winner of the first 12-team College Football Playoff is Pop-Tarts®

Is Cam Ward going to opt back in to the final minute?

AND one of the announcers just said he would cover Cole’s day rate if he wears it through the airport. #BindingContract

Now on pace for 82-82 at the end of regulation. Basketball on grass.

Kellogg's understanding that bowl sponsorship is designed to make you interested in the product (making me want to eat pop-tarts despite not having eaten one in 25+ years) is the sort of thing all the other bowl sponsors should look into

How many times will the Pop-Tart Bowl turn Michael Irvin into “Michael Irving?”

Coming soon to ESPN: Pardon the Juxtaposition

Dejected.

Surely Brown scheduled an easier game after going to Allen Fieldhous... oH GOD

One of the very very few athletes who brought his own reality-warping gravitational field. Cheat code. Game changer.

No, it’s THREE four-team playoffs!

…and given the craziness around transfer windows and opt-outs, the blowouts will only become more numerous *and* more likely.

I took my glasses off, and the Hoosiers kinda look like Bama. So revenge cosplay?

Whole web providers have been shut down for hosting snuff porn images less gruesome than this.

The Steelers’ 3rd-best play from scrimmage was a 17 yd pass. The Steelers’ 2nd-best play from scrimmage was a 17 yd pass. The Steelers’ best play from scrimmage was a punt that Philly muffed, netting them 34 yards.

It’s cool when the icy-cold uber-professional NFL coaches remember that they don’t just have systems and cogs — but instead have violent human machines that can be cheat codes.

Nick Sirianni looks so disheveled

The downside of “free agency” and total transfer culture means teams will opt out. The upside means that maybe these bowl games will have to offer NIL opportunities as an incentive to, you know, have teams for a game.

Hey everyone — this my general sports account (minus all of the Roll Tide mania) That way you won’t have to sift through my @politics.ikepigott.com @culture.ikepigott.com @wrestling.ikepigott.com or @bama.ikepigott.com stuff.)
