Can a quarterback be so bad that you can’t tell if it’s intentional grounding?

Kirby Smart tried to get Arch Manning. Instead he's winning with Gunner Stockton - who's having a better year than Manning.
That's the story with Smart at QB: He goes after five-stars and experienced transfers, and often gets them. Then he wins with other guys.

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

This is absolutely necessary, our city is being menaced by roving gangs of dog walkers and aunties pushing strollers

The reason nothing is happening in this football game is that each team has like six players from Georgia’s 2021 and 2022 national championship defenses on it

Another really good magazine bites the dust: RIP Charlotte magazine, 1968-2025. I was proud to be a small part of its history, but this is a tragedy for the city, where one media outlet after another has been going down or getting hollowed out into an Easter Bunny chocolate shell.

Charlotte Magazine announced it was closing its doors this week
3 of my favorite writers penned must-read obituaries for the magazine that was. All are nominally about the institution, but they're really about people, about creativity & about how the former gave space for the latter to thrive
