Don’t usually share my Tornado Videos online, but maybe I’ll start. Eldorado, OK. May 23 2024. #tornado

The Mariners introduced Jason Kanzler as their new manager today. He's 36, has never managed at any level and used to teach high school physics and chemistry. Seattle finally hired someone who can explain why fly balls go to the warning track to die. #Mariners #HotStove

The Astros are set to interview Albert Pujols for their manager job, MLB Trade Rumors reports. He hit 62 regular-season home runs against Houston, his most against any team, plus the 2005 NLCS Game 5 homer off Brad Lidge. If you can't get him out, hire him. #Astros #HotStove

Per The Athletic's Jim Bowden, the Red Sox will keep calling about CJ Abrams, and about Elly De La Cruz if the Reds decide to move him. In 2026, Abrams had 33 homers and 34 steals. De La Cruz had 30 homers and 30 steals. Boston wants a shortstop, 30-30 required. #RedSox #HotStove

UCLA is 8-0, and the committee's first 2026 CFP rankings have the Bruins 8th, behind two-loss Alabama at No. 5 and two-loss Texas at No. 7. In the SEC, a second loss is apparently a résumé builder. #CFBPlayoff #UCLA

The Orioles won 101 games in 2023. After two straight losing seasons, The Baltimore Banner reports they're now open to trade offers on everyone on the roster except Pete Alonso. It's a yard sale with one item marked not for sale. #Orioles #HotStove

The Bears' first drive Monday night in Seattle went 17 plays and 80 yards for a touchdown, and it ate 8:32 of the first quarter. Seattle's first drive lasted 1:03. The Bears are playing keep-away. #DaBears #MNF

Chris Sale is a 2026 NL Cy Young finalist at 37, after a 2.16 ERA and 200 strikeouts this season. Fellow finalist Jacob Misiorowski is 24. Sale made his MLB debut in 2010, when Misiorowski was 8. Some guys age like milk. Sale ages like a slider. #Braves #ForTheA

The Pirates gave Brandon Lowe a $23.15 million qualifying offer today. It's only the third qualifying offer they've ever made, and their first since 2014. Somebody check on the team accountant. #Pirates #HotStove

The Cowboys led the Cardinals 30-24 in the final minute today. Arizona scored a touchdown with 6 seconds left to tie it, then missed the extra point that would have put them ahead. Dallas got a free trip to overtime and still lost 33-30. The Cardinals tried to hand Dallas the game, and the Cowboys handed it right back. #Cowboys #Cardinals

The Hanshin Tigers posted Teruaki Sato for MLB teams today, and teams can start negotiating with him Monday. He won the 2026 Central League Triple Crown, hitting .306 with 39 home runs and 106 RBIs. Every team that needs a third baseman just got a new Christmas list. #MLB #NPB

The Lions got two 15-yard taunting flags in the first quarter today, one on Amon-Ra St. Brown and one on Jameson Williams. Then they beat the Vikings 19-15 and handed Minnesota its first loss of the season. Turns out it's not taunting if you back it up. #OnePride #Vikings

William Contreras went 8 for 21 in the 2026 World Series and was named World Series MVP. Now he's behind a camera. Makes sense. Catchers have been framing things for years. #Brewers #MLB

The NFL awarded New Orleans its franchise on November 1, 1966, All Saints' Day. That's where the name came from. Sixty years later, the 2-5 Saints are spending the anniversary on their bye week. Undefeated on their birthday. #Saints #NFL

The Yankees aren't renewing Brian Sabean's contract as an advisor, the New York Post reports. Sabean's Giants won the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014 with him as GM. The Yankees haven't won one since 2009. Interesting guy to stop taking advice from. #Yankees #MLB

Minnesota hit a 60-yard field goal with 19 seconds left to lead Indiana 16-13. Indiana answered with its own 60-yarder as time expired, then won 23-16 in overtime. All 12 fourth-quarter points were field goals. Kickers aren't real football players, they said. #iufb #Gophers

The Rays picked up Drew Rasmussen's 2027 option today. He went 16-5 with a 2.67 ERA for the 2026 American League champions. Some front office decisions take weeks of meetings. This one took a pen. #RaysUp #MLB

Kansas State scored with 6 seconds left to force overtime at Colorado, then settled for a field goal on its OT possession. Colorado answered with a touchdown pass and won 27-24. Kicking a field goal first in overtime is just telling the other team exactly what to score. #GoBuffs #CFB

David Samson says baseball doesn't need radio anymore. In fairness, he's tested the theory. In 2000, when he was an Expos executive, Montreal played the whole season without an English radio deal. #MLB #Expos

Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium is under renovation, so Georgia and Florida play today at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party has a roof this year, and it's in Georgia. Gators fans are calling it a road game with extra steps. #GoDawgs #GoGators

Randy Flores pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings against the Astros in the 2005 NLCS, including Game 6, the night Houston won its first pennant. On Friday, the Astros hired him as their general manager. Took them 21 years, but they finally got him on their side. #Astros #MLB
