He is bad. He has no path to be anything but bad unless he gets Dolphins-level weapons around him, and I doubt that would do it. The only 2 reasons Carolina isn't looked at like a laughingstock the way Detroit and Cleveland and (somewhat) Jacksonville are are 1) Cam Newton, which was dumb luck, and 2) the fact that no one gives a horsefeathers about Carolina. There is no path forward for this franchise. It'll be at least 2026 before they're remotely competitive and it will take wholesale changes that they won't make for it to be that quick.

Notre Dame sucks ass and this raises way more questions about Marcus Freeman than the stupid 10-men thing did. I'm also going to go ahead and predict Michigan will win the national championship.

It's an 18-team conference. You're not going to be able to play everyone you want to every year. In any case, I think PSU's athletic department prefers it that way, the rumor is their lack of desire to maintain annual rivalries is why they got 'unrivaled' in the new configuration.

If we're being real, any playoffs after 162 games is stupid if your angle is fairness. But since we're light-years past the Rubicon on that issue, I don't really give a crap how long the series are. I liked the one-game playoff, honestly.

Maybe we could send them video of PCA's at-bats this September and that would make them feel better?

I can't decide whether it's more gratifying or annoying that the Marlins' ridiculous run of good luck has come to a screeching halt now that they can't screw our team with it.

Much more informed work here than my repeatedly calling the decision to trade up for Young an unmitigated disaster. Bryce Young so far is basically Jimmy Clausen with better PR. The difference is Clausen sucking got Carolina Cam Newton, while Bryce sucking is going to gift the Bears a blue-chip draft pick.

Definitely not easy, but Penix won't be at UW next year, Caleb probably won't be at USC, and UCLA, Wisconsin and MSU aren't good enough to be too concerned about at the moment.

Double post

The B1G is horrifyingly bad this year. This week you get Minnesota who lost to Northwestern, then it's IU who needed a miracle to beat Akron. Essentially a 3 team conference, maybe 3.5 depending on what Maryland does against the other 3.

Whoever the hell came up with the S2 cognition test is going to lose every penny invested in it. That test all but accused Stroud of having a developmental disability and crowned Bryce Young the next Nobel Prize winner. Young is an unmitigated disaster. 1 TD drive (garbage time excluded) in 3 games.

There is no way USC is winning the Pac-12 with this defense. No matter how great Caleb is.

Cubs 21-24 Marlins 33-13 (LMAO)

Good on Cuas for not dragging it out. And now I can be done with these horsefeathers losers for the year

Gee, what a surprise

I'm sure they've got the Ivy people telling them why you'd rather have Wisdom up with what's left of the season on the line than Tauchman, but I don't get it

When even Yan Gomes fails in the clutch you know something is going wrong

Cuas carrying on a noble tradition from the likes of Michael Wuertz, Jesse Chavez and Steve Cishek, who also seemingly pitched every freaking game for months

Nice play by Dansby, though I couldn't help but notice he seemed to be walking a little awkwardly as he went back to his position. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he's not all systems go right now.

I refuse to believe Dansby has ever been this bad for this long.

It seems way too perfectly baseball for the Marlins to have to clinch the playoff berth by finishing that stupid game in New York on Monday, so this seems about right

I'm punching the next person who says there's no momentum in sports in the kidney. Only the Road Rockies have made this team look vaguely professional for 2 straight weeks.

Marlins down 3 early in Pittsburgh
