ESPN’s greed is just too much. I pay for cable and ESPN+, but I can’t watch the Australian Open right now because I don’t have ESPN Unlimited.

I don’t think they realize how close they are to killing the golden goose.

Big home win for Oregon State holding off Gonzaga in overtime. Lauren Whittaker was as good as advertised but OSU coach Scott Rueck dug deep in his bag of tricks.

I loved watching Alex Honnold in Free Solo but I could handle the anxiety because I knew the climb was successful.

Which is to say I won’t be watching him live Friday night. I hope this climb goes well, but I’ll watch it later this weekend.

Dante Moore returning is really good news for the Ducks. Could be the preseason No. 1 next year.

I’m certain I’m not the first to say this, but Daniel Jones in that Colts jersey is giving me 1970s flashbacks to Bert. And that is why jerseys should stay what they were when I was 10 years old.
