Good for Maven, good for the CFL and good for the world. I don't think the NFL would do this for a former player, despite all the social justice branding it is doing.

Are you buying Rochefort or is there an even better Belgian brewery for dubbels and tripels? That beer tastes like nothing else.

I cannot picture Bill Belichick putting up with the BS of college coaching.
Seth Wickersham at ESPN has an interesting story about how this happened.

Seems weird for the Lions and Bills to play a day game. They'd be my pick to meet in the Super Bowl.

Thanks, Ufez. Last two scores added.
I love P. J. When the Mavs are digging deep to come back late, he's usually at the center of it.

I wish the Magic weren't going into this so depleted with both Banchero and Wagner out. Going with Dallas over OK City (no surprise) but I think the Mavs are crafty late and can get the upset.

Soto's bluntness in that post-Series presser cracks me up. He didn't even try to make it sound like it would be hard for him to sign elsewhere.

Ironically politics is often derided as a place you root for your team no matter what.
Sports is mostly common ground but there are still outbreaks of politicization, like when Harrison Butker decided to tell a crowd of new female college graduates that their hard-earned degrees are worth less than getting married and popping out kids.
I hadn't noticed sports journalism becoming more fact-based and analytical, but I like the sound of that.

I watch the Jaguars and Cowboys. How is that going? I am about to cancel YouTube TV. I can suffer along with the radio broadcasts and get things done around the house at the same time.

If the Bills don't beat the Chiefs on Sunday, Kansas City will remain undefeated until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England.

I joined a late-drafting fantasy basketball league on Yahoo. I haven't played since Alonzo Mourning was on my team. Sometimes I do better with less knowledge, so I'm hoping that's what happened when my top four picks were Jayson Tatum, Domantas Sabonas, Ja Morant and Bam Adebayo.

The Chiefs are the most underwhelming 7-0 team ever. Andy Reid does all those commercials ("Bundlerooski! Bundlerooskidoo!") and still has time to work his dark incantations of victory.
