Perhaps should be discussed as a major change to the game thanks to replay in addition to runners keeping a body part on the bag at all times.
If you were to grab replays from any game between 2000-2015 you would see the middle infielders touch second base MAYBE 40% of the time on a double play. You were literally taught not to

Yes. At the same time, if a private equity firm determines Ohio State could make more money by never playing at Michigan again, what's stopping college football's decision-makers from sacrificing one of the sport's greatest rivalries in the name of maximizing revenue?
Ditching conference title games almost erases the meaning of conference titles, and they really do become simply groups with pooled media rights. If that's all they are, why wouldn't Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, etc., eventually go indie or form their own/smaller groups?

Who exactly lost their job with #analytics?

Actually my friends and I agree that confirmation bias is the best.
Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever

We’re all in agreement not sleeping is bad, right?
How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

Over the last ten seasons, I looked at how well the eventual college football National Champion played up to this point in the season. Here is why, after some chaos the last two weeks, I believe there are only nine real contenders left: edwithsports.substack.com/p/…

Go to @GrindingMocks and see just how many Longhorns are projected to get drafted early. That shows you exactly how unacceptable these last two losses are for #Texas.

Kevin Jennings not putting the ball in harm’s way is the second-biggest victory for @SMUFB today. Added dimension to this offense has been unlocked. #PonyUp

As someone with incredibly fond memories at the Sun Bowl, Holiday Bowl, etc., do we want these early-round CFP games on campuses or can we keep the bowls and turn them into playoff games?
What would you rather watch, the Pop Tarts Bowl or the same matchup in an early-round CFP game with a natty at stake. Bravo, CFP.

Kevin Cash got more public grief pulling Blake Snell to avoid the third-time-through-the-order tax than Dave Roberts will with actually paying it. #postseason

Are we going to have an honest conversation about keeping Snell in too long? #dodgers
