Dolphins have themselves a future star. #MichiganMan.
Dolphins rookie Kenneth Grant said he and Jonah Savaiinaea compete to be first one in, last one out of the building. palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/n…
Is this an Iowa Football game?
A football team went without a goal for many consecutive matches so the fans brought arrows to show them where the goal was
*P.S. Drove Nick Saban into retirement.
Michigan 2023: undefeated, national title, greatest season of my adult life, I am blessed by God Michigan 2024: no QB1 for like three months, go to Columbus, whip ass on defense, win 13-10, pick up the #1 QB recruit, beat Alabama in a hurricane, I am blessed by God
So, you’re saying you miss Jim Harbaugh, Stew?
Big Ten Media Days this year took place on an alternate planet. Planet Gaslight. The commissioner insists we'll all love 8-4 teams vying for CFP berths. The coaches are weirdly fixated on the SEC's schedules. And everyone talks exactly the same way. nytimes.com/athletic/65131…
Two points OSU & MSU-types keep forgetting; i) no problem w/consequences for proven rules violations; and, ii) this info is out there bc the @NCAA has conducted a “fair” process obviously continuing to leak while UM is gagged? Hmmm.
The NCAA has C. Stalions master sheet. It explains the scheme, who was involved, the purpose of the scheme, the dates and the monetary values in C. Stalions own words. It would be nice to have proof Jim Harbaugh was involved but at this point he doesn’t have to be. LOIC!!
Smartphones bring porn & gambling to teens 24/7. Today we have our first post on what sports betting is doing to boys & young men (who are 98% of those with addiction). By Jonathan Cohen and Isaac Rose-Berman. Part of our growing collab with @aibm_org afterbabel.com/p/smartphone-g…
“Vince Scully and I were attending Fordham Prep High School in 1943. At a school assembly he was sitting behind me, grabbed me by the shoulders and said, ‘Larry, someday you will be in the big leagues and the first time you hit a home run, I will be the announcer and tell the…
"Comparing me to Sandy Koufax is like comparing Earl Scheib to Michelangelo." Don Sutton In 1998, when the Dodgers retired Don Sutton’s number, Sandy Koufax paid his own way to attend the Ceremonies, as they were teammates on the 1966 Dodgers, Sutton’s rookie year. When Don…
Live sports is place media companies flock bc we don’t watch sports other than live. That= $$. Gambling on sports is exploding. Another reason why live action rather than delayed broadcast/streaming don’t work. B10 & SEC surely know this & have national footprint fan bases.
In 2018, total sports betting revenue in the United States was around $430 million. Just five years later, it had grown to over $11 billion.
That’s the $64K question. Until then:
What or who are the "knowledgeable" accounts?
“Follow the money.” The B10 is an economic actor, just like the NCAA & SEC. A little cynical, but less so today now that it is openly a business hiring business people, not academic types to run it.
I am very proud of the Big Ten. First time in my entire life I can wake up and say that. The conference has always had the potential to be better at football. Now they are not afraid to say it. Schools finally care. Finally a commissioner that cares. Golden era of Big Ten ftbl

So, I guess I have to aim at you, moron, if “punching down” is my thing. (Believe me, it ain’t. Looking for new insights, but none out of your camp). Shutting it down due to your fan base which recycles, recycles, recycles. When you have something new please give me a jingle.
@TJA4Michigan doesn’t interact with knowledgeable accounts that know their stuff. He only punches down with those he calls “target practice.” Great representative of the school.

Because the original tweet was vague... my oldest daughter had the surgery and is recovering. I came to Texas to assist and record progress to make cheesy mom videos even if she is 31.
Your Take is my Take starting now!
My take is, I’m not going to let these OSU/MSU trolls try to compare UofM’s overzealous scouting to paying recruits like most SEC and one BG10 school has done over the few decades!
Thank you! I came to this with a genuine interest in sharing my perspectives & not principally to put others down- I DO cross that line after others are rude or crude bc it triggers competitiveness in me! I grew up in Dugouts & Locker Rooms, so I can weaponize aggression. Lol.
Todd, you have a lot of followers like myself that silently read your insightful takes... keep it up!
