Hot take: The most widely predicted negative outcome in a closely watched industry could happen in 3-5 years. Nobody else is saying it

Also, that a general doesn't get to make up his own foreign policy that contradicts that of the elected officials who are his bosses.

I think 2024 will be the year that the Big Ten, at least, has to start putting a GOOD game or three on Peacock. Last year there was nothing of much note

What Crosby is doing this year is one of the coolest things I've ever seen an athlete do. The team is absolute CHEEKS. The second-best player on the team got traded at the deadline. And 36-year-old Crosby is on the verge of dragging this carcass into the playoffs anyway

The number of people grasping for conspiracy at this point should not be surprising but it's a little much. There is no reason (not one) to still think Ohtani did wrong in this story if you have paid attention slate.com/culture/2024/0…

Wasn't prepared for Freeze honestly

If Reggie Bush died tomorrow, he would not get this recognition from the Heisman people

Ohtani appears to be a victim here not just in the legal sense but because Ippei was his GUY. Pretty sad breach of trust all around

Every newly hired conference commissioner talks like this now. The candidate pools have 100% shifted from college sports lifers to business types who can interview well. (He's not wrong to talk like this fwiw but I do find the repeated exercise to be grim)
