So glad to see it gone.
One of the broadcasters who jumped from the PGA to LIV is my neighbor. I was gonna egg his house but then I remembered I'm not 14. And I don't waste eggs in this economy.

Little scoring glitch, I think rcade. Nobody got points for the 49ers win, and I think everyone had them locked.
I took that score out briefly and put it back in. It should be there now.

Barry Melrose was Mr. Hockey to me during the 1990s and 2000s before ESPN lost the sport. As big a voice in the NHL as Al Michaels in the NFL. I was going to say as big as John Madden but that's going too far.
For some reason I haven't watched studio segments as much since ESPN regained the sport. I watch the games but skip the rest.

All of the "did time expire?" controversies make me wish football games ended with one untimed down after the clock hit 0.
This is a bad time to suggest it because Michigan just got one anyway. But replays about the clock at a game's end always bog things down.

I've been wondering if there's a free-agent signing strategy that could mitigate the catastrophic loss of five first-round picks. Ballmer isn't going to want to let the Clippers endure a 10-year run of futility.

The overall sale can still happen. What's in dispute is whether Jeanie's siblings are breaking an agreement by selling the combined Buss stake without her approval. She can't stay as team governor until 2030 if their stake falls below 15 percent.
What I don't know is what she gains. Four years as governor doesn't seem like a prize worth the fight.

I think Romo's broadcast career will survive this but he's a reckless idiot for getting behind the wheel after drinking.
Fantasy guru and longtime defense attorney Drew Davenport offered his analysis. His conclusion: "The case is like a law school exam. There are good arguments on both sides. If he's got no history it'll be pled down to something minor and will end up as nbd."

Someone on Reddit said that the team they most like to see the Jags beat is the 49ers because they are "cocky bastards" who have never known anything but winning.
It reminded me of being a kid in the 1970s when I thought the Niners were an all-but-guaranteed win for the Cowboys. They stunk it up from 1973-80.
The 1980s were a rude awakening for me.

What amazes me is that FIFA is the most corrupt sports organization in the world and Trump found a way to make it more corrupt. I didn't think that possible.
My homerism made me happy Balogun was playing but the decision will forever be a mark of shame on the U.S. role in this World Cup.
