I'm sure someone else has had this take somewhere, but is this the beginning of the end for the bowls? Players already know it's not worth it. Maybe teams are starting to figure it's not worth it. If it's not the playoffs, it doesn't matter (if you're from a big conference that is)
The point of playing football is to play football.
So Notre Dame's decision to opt out of playing a bowl game isn't just disappointing, but bad for the sports, @chrisvannini.com writes.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

How many times have announcers preached "You must maintain control of the ball" when talking about catches? Not if you're Ohio State apparently

Maybe don't run the same guy five times in a row if you need a first down Bills

Really need all our tech bros to come up with a way to mute announcers and just let us hear the crowd and the refs so I don't have to hear overexcited announcers (side eyes Gus Johnson)

Baseball is so great you guys. It's also terrible and mean and no one should love it because it will snap your heart in half. But it's so great.

Why is every single thing "crucial" to an announcer? Scoring in the 4th inning was crucial? Really? Third downs in the second quarter are crucial? Really?

Again, I just want to point out how abnormal it is for the Department of Defense to strike somewhere and instead of standing in front of reporters and answering questions, they just blurt it out on social media. Abnormal, weird, undemocratic, authoritarian...
BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says in a social media post the U.S. military conducted its eighth strike against an alleged drug vessel, this time in the Pacific Ocean.
Trump administration announces another strike on alleged drug-carrying boat, in the Pacific Ocean

If I were a world leader, my one take it or leave it requirement would be no press questions so I didn't have to pretend to care about what the president was saying
