Miami's RB coach is Matt Merritt, good friend of mine from High School. Hope if they make the championship he gets a big time gig somewhere. He's freaking earned it
when you see Miami pounding out run after run after run after run after run, you have to remember their offensive line coach is 5-foot-4 Alex Mirabal

do you realize how good this man must be at coaching offensive line play

You put Tea in a Gatorade bottle.

You're still British as fuck
My least British trait is that sometimes I will reuse old Gatorade bottles and fill it with a tea bag and cold tap water and then chug that bad boy down after a couple hours in the fridge

I had a car turn right near me yesterday. Should have unloaded on that motherfucker.
Live updates: U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer weighed in on the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, telling Fox News he is “not going to jump to conclusions” before a law enforcement investigation but that “there is a ICE officer standing directly in front of the car when it starts to accelerate.”
Live: ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis
Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as it drives toward him. The governor and Minneapolis mayor called for calm after the incident. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

Yeah I still don't get cutting Keegan Thompson.
From Reds:

RHP Lyon Richardson cleared waivers and was outrighted to AAA-Louisville.

RHP Keegan Thompson was claimed by the Rockies.

There's a video from the other side (don't watch) that shows even more clearly that the driver was trying to avoid hitting any ice officers. Just had a gun in her face and was trying to drive away

Uh.
Ballot #144 is from Dan Shaughnessy. After voting for Beltré, Mauer, CC, Ichiro last 2 years, Dustin Pedroia (+13) earns his lone vote, the 1st known Pedroia-only ballot. Pedroia passes Rollins for 10th.

Finally a signing.

This is a solid get and helps shore up one of the wingback spots. A much needed addition.

How. Is. Wes. Still. Coach.

It's more baffling than Zac Taylor still being coach tbqh

Really a lesson in "leaving well enough alone"

They aggressively expanded at the expense of quality and it bit them.

He's so cowardly. Releases statements against racism and continues to empower and vote for those that do it.

The fact that Stefanski got canned and Taylor is still in Cincinnati is crazy. Stefanski held that browns team together with freaking straw, he's a great coach.
NEWS: The Cleveland Browns have fired head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons, the team announced Monday morning.

And what's Zac Taylor and the Bengals excuse gonna be?
punishment for missing the playoffs by one game in a season when you lost to the Jets team that had zero interceptions
‼️‼️‼️ BREAKING NEWS ‼️‼️‼️

The Falcons have fired HC Raheem Morris.
January 5, 2026 at 2:09 AM
I mean, you want them to lose in this situation. Get a better shot at an elite player. Bengals haven't drafted a good 1st rounder after the first 10 picks since Leon Hall.
Weall know how this Bengals game ends, right?
January 4, 2026 at 8:51 PM
But they already signed Schwarber. I was told you could only Chase one free agent. He's not even from there
@JonHeyman tweeted
The Phillies are among a number of big-market teams to have interest in Bo Bichette, an ultra young (27) free agent. Yanks, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox and incumbent Jays, too. Bichette is the only player to hit .300 vs. fastballs, breaking balls and also changeups/splits.

At the end of the day, each party tied to actively make the country worse so they can run on it. Instead of actually making improvements and communicating that to people, they play a blame game and sit on their hands.
I used to think the bipartisanship line was exclusively because guys like this had a conception of politics from the 80s; now I believe it's at least in part an alibi for doing nothing. Schumer thinks he has to do nothing to avoid endangering a Dem sweep in the midterms; it's probably the opposite.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

What in the cinnamon toast fuck is this
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."
