Every time we beat Notre Dame I’m gonna post this picture because it’s one of my favorite crowd shots of all time

CFB Bluesky is alive and well (and yeah he immediately got bailed out by the defense)

I lived in South Florida for a decade but today was the day this Bay Area heat wave finally broke me. This past week was just too dang hot. Especially considering SF does not have a ton of AC. It’s October for god’s sake.

The numbers are in: San Francisco just logged its hottest seven-day stretch of weather in 85 years. The average daily maximum temperature of 90.3 degrees between Sept. 30 and Oct. 6 was nearly 20 degrees above normal, and the city’s third-hottest week since weather records began in 1874.

To celebrate *air horn sounds* VIDEO on Bluesky, here’s sad Gator fans and very happy Canes fans singing “I won’t back down” at the Swamp.

Go Canes.

The Seahawks Super Bowl chapter of Seth Wickersham’s Patriots book is so good. It feels like you’re on the sideline with the players and coaches for the pivotal moment. Truly well done.
didn’t call time-out. He didn’t even talk to his coaches. He was staring across the field at Pete Carroll and the Seatte Seahawks’ sideline, watching what they would do next. Seconds passed. The Patriots coaches were starting to panic. Patricia said to Belichick, "Do you want the time-out?" Belichick said nothing, his focus resolute. “Bill,” said linebackers coach Patrick Graham over the headset, "they're wondering about a time-out." "Yeah," Belichick said calmly, tugging on the collar of his navy hoodie. "I got it." The other sideline was even more confused. Belichick's patience — his gift for allowing situations to play out — had undone Seattle. Carroll expected Belichick to call a time-out, but when he didn't, Seattle’s players and coaches were left to scramble. Belichick watched the chaos unfold on the other side and felt New England now had an edge. If he had been considering a time-out before, he definitely was not going to call one now. "I wasn't going to let them off the hook,”

Super interesting 👇
Excerpt from the story: When a psychology professor in Michigan looked through his data on interpersonal conflict a decade ago, he discovered something unexpected. The study, which examined differences across cultures and age groups, seemed to show Americans got wiser as they got older. Richard Nisbett was used to research showing poorer mental skills among elderly adults, but his work found they were better at recognizing multiple perspectives, encouraging compromise, and acknowledging the limits of their own knowledge. Perhaps, he reasoned, navigating conflict got better with age because it was such a specific, experience-based skill. Working memory, which stores short-term facts like newly learned names, may decline but, as people get older, they inevitably accrue more knowledge from having navigated similar situations throughout their lives. Now 82 years old, Nisbett recognizes the improvement in himself.

Bill Belichick, Madden player at heart.
A passage from Seth Wickersham’s book “It’s better to be feared” talks about Bill Belichick calling the same play over and over again on defense.
