“Braves the elements”? In California? What, did it get down to (shiver) 60?
Zero touchdowns.
Six field goals.
One huge division win for the Rams.
Los Angeles braves the elements to beat the 49ers in San Francisco.

What if a team could choose one at-bat a game to send its best hitter to the plate whenever it wanted?
That’s the Golden At-Bat concept in a nutshell.
But how do baseball personnel feel about its potential implementation?

The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it?
What if a team could choose one at-bat to send its best hitter to the plate even if it wasn’t that guy’s turn to hit? MLB could test it out.

I keep waiting for Little Man (8.5) to ask the million dollar question in re Santa and EOTS, but it has never come up. Even as we watch movies that openly discuss the concept.
On the one hand, the magic of Christmas is there just a bit longer.
On the other... seriously? You're a smart kid.

1st and 10 at the Detroit 25 with 46 seconds left and two timeouts.
And you don’t:
1) score
2) use all your timeouts
3) turn the ball over or
4) attempt a field goal
Breathtaking incompetence. Week after week. #fireflus

Scorching Hot Take: Most Thanksgiving food is terrible. It's pilgrim food you eat once a year. If it was actually good, you'd eat it more than once a year. Not many restaurants specializing in sweet potatoes and stuffing. Give me a tacos and ribs Thanksgiving and I'll get excited.

Brian Anderson just described Rutgers vs Notre Dame as "an old school Big East matchup" which I think makes him the first person to ever have that thought.

I admittedly haven’t seen Wicked but the part I don’t understand is…isn’t Oz just in Dorothy’s imagination based on the people in her life? It’s just a dream.

Wow I can't believe "tariffs don't increase the price of goods", "the Earth is only 2500 years old and flat", "inject bleach to cure COVID", "lights in the sky must be angels", and "windmills cause cancer" aren't ideas that are endorsed at top universities. Must be a systemic problem.
