The Browns, Giants and Patriots are all receiving trade interest in picks Nos. 2-4.

The Raiders and Jaguars are among the teams interested in moving up.

And many interested have a specific player in mind.

Netflix stock is surging.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson. NFL on Christmas Day. The Beyoncé Bowl.

And as the company’s stock surges, an ‘anti-ESPN’ sports strategy emerges.

Strong Santa Ana winds prompted forecasters to warn of a “particularly dangerous situation” in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Those conditions are expected to continue through early Tuesday afternoon before easing through the evening.

Clever bit by @minakimes.bsky.social on the Simpsons cast: "Were they saying boo or Boo-row."

When the crowd jeers Bart with "Die Bart Die" they should clarify that it's German for "The Bart The."

Homer Simpson is officially the best Cowboys QB of the last decade.
December 10, 2024 at 1:27 AM
OK, positioning this Simpsons MNF broadcast as happening inside a Homer dream already makes it better than the Spongebob and Toy Story versions. That and the Ralph humming of the jingle. This is going to be good.

For the first time in 134 years of Army football, the Black Knights are conference champions.

Army (11-1) earned the second 11-win season in program history, both under Jeff Monken, and still have two games left.

One of the most interesting conversations in baseball right now has to do with an idea for a rule change: a Golden At-Bat that would let teams send up whoever they want for one key moment in a game. My question: Might pitching change, too? @jaysonst.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...
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.
