Up, Up, Up the Town!: Wrexham secured their place in The Championship with a historic third consecutive promotion by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 in front of another frenzied crowd at STōK Cae Ras. Oliver Rathbone opened the scoring with a long-range effort through a crowded penalty area 15 minutes from the start. Sam Smith scored an amazing no-look, over-the-shoulder, volley 3 mins later to cushion the lead, and completed the scoring with a thumping header in the second half to guarantee the Red Dragons promotion. Highlights video. Celebrity owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were on-hand to wildly celebrate the victory and used their on-air time after the win to deflect attention from themselves and commend the staff, players, and supporters. At this point another season of Welcome to Wrexham seems inevitable.

Steelers' Minority Owner Interested in Buying into Browns: The Cleveland Browns have spent much of their recent history likely feeling as if they have been owned by the Steelers ... Now, they might be bought by a member of the Steelers ownership group who is a self-described ardent Steelers fan.

George Michael Sports Machine My local guy growing up. Had a phone line we would call to get sports scores. Sucked when you came in just after the score you wanted was read and you had to wait for it to loop around.

beaverboard, according to this ESPN article, "The Patriots were able to forgo the standard NFL hiring process and immediately hire Mayo because they established a succession plan in the contract extension he signed last offseason, similar to what the Baltimore Ravens did with their general manager position when Eric DeCosta succeeded Ozzie Newsome in 2019."

I went to University of Maryland and Frank Reich lived next door to me for a semester. We all pronounced his name like pike. Hmmm.

Nic was also an actor, including in my wife's cousin's film, Exists. My wife's cousin and Nic were also romantically involved for a while. She is devastated right now. It has been tough to read comments on sites that reference this tragedy.

If you're on Dish the new beIN Sport US channel is the America Top 250 package.
Ahhh, not an HD channel. No wonder I wasn't seeing it. Still nice to have options! Thanks for the tip, Mr. B.

Yup. Bayless, Cowherd, and Smith are the main reasons I no longer watch ESPN.
That and the ADD way they report the sports news.

As of this morning it is looking like Arsenal have signed Sahin, and with Alex Song off to Barca Sahin's services are needed. Nothing confirmed though.
