https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/finding-way-caleb-bonemer-adds-130000751.html So far, the fall has offered encouraging results. Through 39 at-bats, Bonemer has hit .282/.349/.590 with a .939 OPS, four doubles, a triple, two home runs and nine RBIs. He has also drawn four walks against eight strikeouts. It's a small sample, because pretty much everything in the AFL is a small sample. Still, we'll happily take the extra-base hits.

But but but that Go Cubs Go theme song

Should have been two outs and bases empty 4-0 Rays series on Rays arguably won the deadline too with Peralta/Hicks...

UCF BYU is sheer craziness that running into the kicker penalty in OT is going to be played over and over

She has least two bobbleheads now

"Since 2020, however, Kansas City Chiefs cheerleaders have been required to lead the chop with a closed fist rather than the traditional open palm." Was looking up what FSU does now...apparently KC has to play the FSU band's rendition on the PA. weird.

Added to the drama lol

58 wow that 113 EV really took off and flew

Nick Martinez one of the most interesting FA's due to his age, time in Asia, lack of dominant stuff and variety of roles since signing with SD. Supposedly THE most important leader in the TB clubhouse.

SuperBowl hype is definitely easier to sustain for 1-2 full weeks. The party atmosphere of playing in a warm weather site during the wintertime also helps. 2-3 days are spent just analyzing the new commercials.

Does a close to 90% healthy Acuna at least still exist? ATL definitely needs a SS.

Brandon Woodruff to Milwaukee WS roster... Sttong buy low candidate now with all the attendant injury recovery red flags.

https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/mlb-free-agency-top-50-ranking-the-best-players-available-this-winter-starting-with-tarik-skubal-and-freddy-peralta-200115707.html Everything from the 30's on pretty much a crapshoot in this class that probably ends with only 3 guys breaking $100 million. Skubal Peralta and Sato "Sato's strikeout rate has hovered around 27% the past two seasons, while Murakami's was closer to 30%. The crucial distinction between the two players' plate discipline profiles is that while Sato whiffs less (especially in-zone) than Murakami, he chases significantly more pitches outside the strike zone. So while Sato might not strike out as often as Murakami, he might have a much tougher time offsetting those strikeouts with walks. The other element tilting in Sato's favor is his defensive outlook. He is not a definitive lock to stay at third base, but he has the athleticism to warrant a longer look at the hot corner than Murakami, who was immediately moved to first. Sato and his strong arm could also profile well in a corner outfield spot. Of course, it's still all about the bat, and if a team believes he can fully translate his special slugging potential, Sato is going to get paid handsomely."

So did Luis Robert, Jr.

Got way too conservative that last drive. Looked like Kirk Ferentz Ball.

on teams like Miami joining the Big10 or ACC, or going independent with Amazon TV packages "As an AAU research institution, we line up with the Big Ten's profile," he says, in a jarring comment from a prominent executive about potential membership in another conference. "We have an exceptionally strong profile that compares favorably with leading research institutions across the country. On the geography idea, we line up better with the SEC." While leaders at the SEC and Big Ten have shown little to no signs publicly that they are willing or plan to expand in the immediate future, expansion moves traditionally unfold under the cloak of darkness. However, the Big Ten already finds itself stretched east to west across three timezones. Is it worth a dip into the south to further exacerbate travel expenses? It is true that the conference and its television partner, Fox, have shown more aggression in expansion, and the league may benefit from adding bigger brands, such as Miami, to increase the value of its regular season schedule? In the SEC, expansion conversations among executives — not at all formal — have often centered around other schools outside of the state of Florida. North Carolina and Virginia provide the league with a presence in two new states, high achieving academic brands and strong basketball programs. www.yahoo.com/sports

"Never seen a stadium like this before. And when they say that one of two things is true," Ryan told USA TODAY Sports. "Either we'll be right in making these bold bets. And if we're right, you'll see echoes of it in lots of buildings going forward. And if we're wrong, it'll be one of a kind, the only one of its kind, you know?" While Ryan is proud of the investment he, his family and their company Ryan Sports Development are making in Northwestern athletics, college fans elsewhere may wonder why they may invest so much into a program that has historically has struggled. The Wildcats have not been ranked since 2020 and with Indiana's resurgence, Northwestern has assumed the mantle of FBS's all-time losingest program. . Since then, the school and the Ryan family determined further renovations to a nearly 100-year-old stadium would prove to be more costly than building a brand-new stadium. The former stadium was demolished in 2024. "If you look at our academic facilities, our performing arts facilities, everything we try to do with the highest order of excellence," Ryan said. "So, you see that in every type of nanotechnology building, performing arts building, anything. We try to do things to the highest order of excellence." Hmmm.....basically argues for a brand new stadium model, doesn't it? “highest order of excellence” mentioned twice Well, GRF was one of its kind too, but not exactly in a good way

The project, with the majority of the funding provided by the Ryan Family without public investment, will set a new standard in college athletics, transforming the traditional stadium model into a year-round community asset.
