If it’s a close contested catch/no-catch, then it’s never going in Detroit’s favor. It’s in the NFL rule book.

The Jalen Hurts Experience is entering its 100th game with the Eagles. This week might have been the wildest for hot takes and hyperbole on the QB.

NEW POD - Orioles sign Pete Alonso; is BAL lineup elite? will they still add a top SP? + #ScoBoScoBo update - Mets makeover continues, whether fans like it or not; what does a successful Stearns winter look like from here? - Robert Suarez, Mike Yastrzemski to ATL - Good/Bad/Uggla - and more!

the Colts should REALLY trip up America by calling up Kaepernick for a look.

LaFleur playing chess for his star defender.

Don’t want to join a conference? Fine, but if it’s a close call for a playoff spot, you get what you get. @danwolken.bsky.social:

Nice to see Cleveland Gary get revenge for the faux fumble call vs. Notre Dame 30+ years later.

ACC FOOTBALL TITLES: Duke: 1 Miami: 0 UNC: 0

Manny Diaz brought all the Dade County ish-talking heat. Yes, he sounded ridiculous but good for him in standing up for his squad.

Fun to watch a team go down with a “Look-at-how-clever-I-am” play when it wasn’t necessary.

Go for 2, UVA.

Not a high IQ football play by that Duke player.

This B10 finale is something.

ABC is gonna give you this SEC propaganda since there’s nothing insightful to talk about this game

Would pay for a livestream reaction of “Legend” on that failed fourth-and-2 Bama pass

What a K Murray/Cards breakup could look like for 2026, writes @robinsonreports.bsky.social:

Watching an episode of Landman

Winnable game … well, not when the point guard goes 0-for-10 vs Duke.

I frown at foul merchants … unless they’re playing for a team I like.

Here we go with the Duke calls.

9 am college hoops. It’s not bad.

Does this end the war on participation trophies?

Feels like a good fit for 2026:

Al B Sure had it like this last century.

Auburn going for 2 on this drive is going to be great theater.

The likely interim HC at Ole Miss has a shot at becoming Elvis with a December/January run.

Breaking: Michigan St will finally win a Big Ten game this season.

Hostage

Lane drama. Survivor Series promo. This is the universe telling me to turn off college football for the day and enjoy the last of the SoCal sunshine Saturday has to offer.

“We’re going to win with humility.” Man, why, Ohio State? Stunt on em all the way home.

Will Ohio State plant the flag? Only drama left since Tate caught that bomb.

The scene in Starkville is the chaos we love about this sport. You might not like the figures involved, but the passion is hard to not admire. @rossdellenger.bsky.social:

the mac n cheese and the apple crumble in the fridge getting ready for a back-to-back performance tonight

Unintentional trolling of the Midwest

Bring back newspapers at the coffeeshop. Especially when you see a great Freep photo from @fingophoto.bsky.social

Why there are yellow and red flags on Toronto’s free-agent landing of Dylan Cease:

Walter Payton uses a paper transfer to ride public transit on the 1979 RTA commercial.

Reminder: UCLA boatraced Michigan State in East Lansing.

If the spitting shenanigans aren’t a factor, we’re in for a treat here. @joriepstein.bsky.social story:

Episode 2 of Pluribus: Karen mode ON

Greatest 2-8 vs 2-8 game in NFL history. Thank you, Shedeur Hive. 🐝 @jaybusbee.bsky.social:

LA is a town of grinders! “By the time he left the department in 2022, he had developed lucrative side hustles, including a luxury car rental business and an app that allowed actors to audition remotely. He was also flirting with the idea of developing a reality show about his life …”

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Can Vikes use another redshirt for JJ McCarthy? @fourverts.bsky.social tried to tell us.

Halftime adjustments have been key in this game.

Yikes, this South Carolina collapse.

A county in Kansas agreed to pay more than $3 million and apologize for a 2023 raid on local newspaper that raised press freedom concerns and turned the small town of Marion, Kansas, into a battleground over the First Amendment.

the over-the-top capitalism and dire need to get chicken wings right were the only gripes on NFL's big splash into the German pool. @jaybusbee.bsky.social:

From earlier, at Y! Sports: I wrote about Nico Harrison, downside risk, and the bills coming due: yhoo.it/4p18PZc

Campbell says the school’s “transparency” lends itself to criticism. “Other schools have spent as much or more than we did, but we aren’t expected to do that? We’re not supposed to be competitive? We’re supposed to be this middling team?”
