    FC/OT: New York Times 100 Best TV Shows of 21st Century.

    If this is anything like the NYT’s list of the 25 greatest American songwriters (which somehow omitted Billy Joel), it’s not worth reading.

    44 Years ago today Penn State upset #2 Nebraska on their journey to win their first National Championship.

    It’s been a long time, but if memory serves me correctly, PSU really shot themselves in the foot that day. They had over 500 yards of total offense, but missed a couple field goals, had a TD called back, and some other untimely penalties. Game shouldn’t have been that close. At least that’s how...

    44 Years ago today Penn State upset #2 Nebraska on their journey to win their first National Championship.

    Still one of the top five all-time games at Beaver Stadium. I don’t remember it as a night game, though. I think it was a late afternoon kickoff. May have ended under the lights.

    AKB: A question for those who have served

    Air Force retiree here. Go for it. 99.9% of military folks have no issue with this.

    Did you see the end of the NCSU-Vandy game. Link.

    Shades of Ampipe-Walnut Heights. “Why the hell didn’t Nickerson take the safety and kick it out of there?” 😂

    2025-26 Sixers Thread

    Well, that’s five guys who will all want the ball in the final two minutes. It’s exciting, but it may not work out.

    Happy Bobby Bonilla Day

    There are literally dozens of former MLB players receiving deferred payments from former teams. Chris Davis will receive $3.5M per year from the Orioles thru 2037. Max Scherzer gets $15M per year thru 2028 from the Nats. The Bonilla arrangement, for some reason, gets far more attention than...

    Sorsby ruling

    Agree, but once he’s a member of the league, he’s subject to any administrative action the commissioner may want to take. Sorsby is not going to waltz into the NFL. He’s an admitted gambling addict who bet on his own team multiple times. This is a huge problem for the league, who must protect...

    Sorsby ruling

    There is. The NFL commissioner is granted broad authority to act in the best interest of the league by the league constitution and by laws. Goodell can easily suspend him if he sees fit. Sorsby won’t be dealing with a home town Texas judge; he’ll be dealing with Roger Goodell, who has an NFL...

    OT: “I don’t watch the NBA” thread. (I’m an equal-opportunity poster.)

    It’s not just NYC. It’s the entire NE corridor…Boston, NY, Philly. These are cities where sports are woven into the DNA of the community. The fans are incredibly passionate. The Knicks are NY’s team. Yes, the Yankees are North America’s most successful franchise, but they’ve had competition in...

    OT: NBA Finals Knicks-Spurs. (“I don’t watch the NBA” posts are in another thread.)

    I was 13 when the Knicks won their last title. I applied for Social Security last week. It’s been awhile 😂

    David Taylor and Cael Sanderson? Biggest impact on Penn State wrestling?

    Taylor was following Cael, wherever he coached. So the “one person” who has had the most impact on Penn State Wrestling is hands-down, Cael Sanderson.

    “Joey Chestnut to defend hot dog title while on probation”

    Despite the off-the-field issues, a tremendous athlete and competitor 😂

    The Professor

    My unscientific theory: Early in their careers, Maddux and Glavine were particularly adept at hitting the corners. They developed reputations for having great command, and by the mid-90s, they began pushing the boundaries, and the NL umps went along. I was in the Air Force living in Alabama...

    The Professor

    I made this point a few weeks ago on this board and was heavily criticized, especially by the resident Braves fans on the board. Maddux (and Glavine) made careers out of living outside the strike zone. Hall of Famers for sure, but let’s not pretend they had the same strike zones as everyone else.
