When did the Pittsburgh Steelers move to Ohio?
How is the local Fox station in Columbus, Ohio showing the Steelers game instead of the home opener for the Cincinnati Bengals, which, last I checked, played in Ohio?

Announcers keep talking about Miami and Notre Dame’s “heated rivalry.” Tonight is only the 5th time they’ve played since 1990, and first time in 8 years.
All of us old folks know Miami-Notre Dame was an intense series during the 1980s, but if you only play 5 times in 35 years, how is that a rivalry?

ESPN opted out of its $550 million contract with Major League Baseball beginning next year.
ESPN signed a 5-year deal with WWE that averages $325 million a year.
It’s deemed better to show pro wrestling than baseball.
Yes, the “E” in ESPN stands for entertainment, but I grew up with baseball. Damn.

Recently had the pleasure of spending time with Dave Barker, member of Ohio State’s 1960 NCAA championship basketball team. He still wears the watch that teammates, including Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek, and Bob Knight, were awarded after winning the title. It still keeps perfect time 65 years later.

Congrats to my good friend John Clay on his announced retirement. We've known each other since the 1980s when I was sports editor of the Kentucky Kernel. John's had a tremendous career, & he's an even better person than a journalist. Rock on @johnclayiv.bsky.social
