    The Playoff Bowl! They used to have a third-place game in the NCAA Final Four, too.

    Indian Hills, proud alma mater of Cleveland Indians legend and San Francisco Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper! (For some definitions of legend, anyhow.)

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Oh, I agree with you that nobody but FIFA cares about the third-place game. It’s just one more event to sell tickets to. My post was more about how outdated the concept is. When players made less money and taking the best position left after the championship game was seen as meaning something...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Remember when the Final Four used to have a third-place game? I’ll never forget Iowa losing to Purdue in the 1980 third-place game, lol. Even the NFL used to have a third-place game (they called it the Playoff Bowl for some reason, I believe).

    Bonnie Tyler RIP

    I’ve never been a fan of Jim Steinman’s horrendously bombastic approach to songwriting, and Total Eclipse Of The Heart is pretty much the golden example of it, so I cringed every time it was on heavy rotation back in ‘83. The cheesy approach the director took for the music video doesn’t help...

    30 years of sports talk radio.

    Mike and Mike, Kornheiser, and Dan Patrick was peak ESPN radio back in the day. I had that on driving to work and in my office every day.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    I couldn’t help but think today about the can of worms this line of thinking would open, with athletes filing lawsuits against their schools because of the immediate mental harm caused to the athlete by not having him in the starting lineup

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    It’d be pretty funny to go from “The PAC 12 is going to murder the Big XII by poaching Oklahoma and Texas” to, a few years later, “Texas Tech is leaving the Big XII for the PAC 12, joining Texas State, Utah State, Boise State, and Fresno State so their gambling QB can still play football.”

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    I don’t know, if betting on games you play in is legal, then putting up NIL money as a bounty to knock somebody out of a game should be legal, too, know what I’m saying?

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    So the Bears want to trade the gameday TV images of the Chicago skyline for … an oil refinery?

    CF After Dark Draft: Best Single game FB performances

    That’s what I really remember about watching that Tech game on TV. Every time the camera showed the Red Raiders on the sideline, you could see how miserable they were and how much they wanted to just go home.

    Paraglider hit by plane and lives

    Sure is. However, I’d guess most paragliders, should their canopy be in tatters as they find themselves plummeting earthward, would be finding that emergency chute pretty darn fast.

    Blissfully Oblivious: Songs Many Misunderstand

    /pushes glasses up on bridge of nose/ “Well, you see, if you examine the ontological origins of the lyric, ‘doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break,’ you will see the singer is not referring to actual crystal meth, but rather the essential longings of a Everyman in today’s...

    NCAA Tournament Expands to 76 teams

    Well, you’ll be disappointed by this line in the article: “The primary driver of this move hasn’t been money, but rather access for at-large bids for power conferences. The expansion has been pushed by power conferences”
