Has there been visceral outrage for 6-2 Ohio State being ranked eight spots ahead of 7-2 USC, which it just lost to 30-18, or do we just save that for SEC teams?

Nobody likes (or wants) to lose bets
However if you have meaningful long term ambitions in this racket you have to handle the defeats w/an understanding the best in the world lose 46% of their wagers
It's not about how you handle the wins but rather what you learn from losses

When you’re still deciding on food but they ask if you need another cocktail.
Oh, I don’t know… Probably the team with the best boxer ever and the best MMA fighter ever. Demetrius Johnson doesn’t need to do anything.

An internet prankster harassed a hardworking Red Baron employee and father of four, and posted the video for laughs. Instead, Americans rallied behind the dad and raised over $500,000. A powerful reminder of what the American dream is all about.

The guy who kept Shaq and Charles Barkley in line on TV for 37 years used to spend his mornings shaving and dressing his son, who could barely move and breathed through a ventilator. Then he'd go to work and laugh with those guys all night like nothing was going on.
Tonight Ernie Johnson said this season will be his last, and Barkley tried to thank him on air and couldn't get the words out.
I don't think most people watching that clip know what Ernie was carrying all those years.
He and his wife Cheryl adopted Michael from an orphanage outside Bucharest in 1991, when he was 3. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and doctors didn't think he'd make it to his 20s. He lived to 33. When Ernie was home, getting Michael ready in the morning could take an hour and a half, and Ernie did the showering and shaving and dressing himself.
In 2006 he told viewers he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and by the end of October he was back at the desk while he was still going through chemo.
When Michael died in 2021, Ernie wasn't on the show that week, and Shaq, Kenny and Chuck spent about six minutes trying to hold it together while they talked about a kid most of America never met.
Then last year he had heart bypass surgery, and this summer he turned 70.
Ernie's dad pitched in the big leagues and then called Braves games for decades, and he gave his son a rule Ernie's talked about forever: if somebody spikes you at second base, never rub.
If you've ever wondered why nobody's been able to copy Inside, that rule is a big part of it. Barkley could say the dumbest thing imaginable, Shaq could fall out of his chair, Kenny could go running to the big board, and Ernie would just pick it up and bring it back to basketball with that yellow legal pad. Those three got to be chaos because the guy in the middle never made his own stuff the show.
He still calls hosting a "get-to job," and he was calling it that the same year he buried his son.
So when Charles Barkley, who's roasted pretty much everybody alive on live TV, can't finish a sentence to the man, that's why.
Charles Barkley and the guys give Ernie Johnson his flowers. This is a must watch.

A prankster fakes an Apple Pay charge on a Red Baron delivery guy who's stocking freezers, already an hour late getting home to his four kids, and expects him to laugh. He didn't. Good for him.
Then regular Americans sent him more than $480,000, and Red Baron publicly said he's still on the team and has a fan club, "including us." The guy filming strangers for clicks? His account got shut down.
That's this country at its best. "Prank" content is mostly harassment with a ring light. Respect people doing an honest day's work, and leave them alone.
A slow, steady, and polite evisceration with that answer.
.@mikeklis9news asked J.K. Dobbins about being the veteran in the running back room with the younger players (Coleman and Harvey) running ahead of him...
This was quite the exchange.
It was always the Milwaukee Brewers… and by the sounds, you’d almost think the last couple were also home games for the Brew Crew. 🏆 ⚾️
Just an amazing run. Inside the NBA won’t ever be the same. A true model of consistency at the desk that helped facilitate memories and raw, uncut entertainment. 👏

This answer is inexcusable.
Game management is the most important part of this job and he is as bad at it as any coach I’ve ever seen.
There may not be any point in making the change now, but it’s over, it’s just a matter of when.

When CJ Carr goes to watch his brother Tommy Carr play, it’s a great story. But when a friend of mine goes to watch my son Ryan Day play, Pete Thamel throws a fit.
Fully on Yaxel’s side here and glad we have some new/fresh blood in the NBA to start calling it out… Luka has been a whiny, pouty, complaining, foul-baiting baby in recent years and it’s beyond unappealing. I hope even more guys start calling out his toddler behavior.

Fantastic Bob Costas clip on his father who was a gambler.
“A bookie will never pay a dead man”
“My dad was an interesting guy. He was straight out of a movie — funny, charismatic, and very smart. And when he was flush with cash, he was very generous.”

The league may have a problem
