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.

In the case of Western Michigan-Michigan, the wrong protocol got the right clock, but the right protocol should have been followed even thought it would have used the wrong clock. Putting the “college” in college football:

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you? This video was made possible and in collaboration with my friends at @ChildlikeMedia.

It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.

Treffer, versenkt. „Yet here in Germany, the response of the media class was even more disturbing. They seemed to revel in it. Instead of uniting in condemnation, major outlets reached immediately for the smear. … The result? Millions of ordinary Germans, who take prime-time anchors at their word, are invited to conclude that while murder is technically bad, this particular victim was barely human in the first place. … This is a sign of how far the political mainstream in Germany has drifted Leftwards. It is no longer enough to oppose your adversaries. They must be delegitimised, dehumanised, treated not as mistaken citizens but as moral outcasts. … A society that cannot even pause to mourn the death of a man who dedicated himself to free speech has lost its moral bearings. … If this is the moral standard of the German mainstream, then its democratic future is far darker than its leaders dare to admit.“ telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09…

“In grief nothing ‘stays put.’ One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it?” - A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis. © 1961 CS Lewis Pte Ltd.

I wonder if the headlong rush toward ubiquitous sports betting has any downsides – at Washington, DC
Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter is out of the lineup and a subject of an NBA investigation into irregularities on prop betting involving him, sources tell @DavidPurdum, @ESPNWindhorst and me. Story soon.
