    “Ohio St. OK's $100M settlement with ex-students claiming abuse by doc”

    I have no issue with settlements if there's proof of harm being done to someone. PSU certainly bungled not just the PR, but pretty much everything else. It was a total failure of leadership. I was simply comparing the per capita payouts.

    2026 Phillies Thread

    Sanchez tossed another great game and got the victory. He accomplished something only four other pitchers in MLB history have matched. He broke a Phillies record which had been around for 115 years. 115 years!!! Yet, it's ridiculously weird that a small part of me feels bad for him. "Just a...

    Wow, O$U got off cheap. Our moronic administration was paying seven figures per capita with no proof needed.

    Dang. I was hoping to see what sort of reception Nick would have gotten had he came up to bat. Now we'll never know...

    OT: Jeff Bezos' (Temu) rocket blew up at Cape Canaveral (whoops, Amazon) tonight...

    I haven’t heard anything recently about Bezos’ satellite internet venture. I don’t know if it’s still in the works or not. Now he’s blowing up rockets. Maybe be should stick with selling s**t on the internet.

    “At Big Ten spring meetings, coaches lobby for 24-team playoff”

    “Nobody Wants It”: ESPN's Rece Davis Doesn’t Hold Back on NCAA Over Controversial Punt Rule Change - Yahoo Sports As the article alludes to, Ferentz was a vocal opponent. It'll be tougher to bail out a mediocre offense with creative special teams.

    Let’s settle this hot dog debate once and for all.

    I've never seen a top cut bun before. Isn't it essentially the same as a side cut?? Just because it's side cut doesn't mean you have to eat it like that. You turn the bun upright, put in the frank and condiments, then eat it that way. I've never seen anyone eat a hot dog with the bun slice...

    During pregame, the Phillies must have thrown their offensive stench into the other dugout. I hope it stays there.

    Male Contempt

    Oh, the good old days circa the 1960s. Happy domesticated women were over-medicated on uppers so they could cook, clean, shop, take care of the kids, etc. Meanwhile hubby came home from work, put his feet up, had a few beers, and watched television. OTOH, women who rebelled against a domestic...

    Let’s settle this hot dog debate once and for all.

    My personal take on hot dogs..... Traditional hot dog is the only way to go. That's on a hot dog bun with the condiments of your choice. Ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, chili, sauerkraut, etc. Whatever combination floats your boat. Do you like ketchup on a hot dog?? Go for it and don't...

    Let’s settle this hot dog debate once and for all.

    I've never seen top cut hot dog buns before. Turn it 90 degrees and you have a side cut. Bottom cut buns are rare but they're out there.

    “At Big Ten spring meetings, coaches lobby for 24-team playoff”

    I saw a chart recently which showed how often teams would have received a playoff berth if the field was 24. It was for the past ten years, or maybe twelve. I don't recall. Penn State would have had seven appearances. Pitt and Temple would have had two apiece. Yeah, Temple. There were some...

    Male Contempt

    For the record, I'm contemptuous of anyone who isn't me. Everybody sucks.

    OT: City makes pitch to keep Bears in Chicago

    I'm not a Bears fan and I don't care where they play in the future. Regardless of where it is, I hope the architectural firm does a better job of designing a new stadium than whoever designed what Soldier Field looks like today. It's one of the weirdest structures I've ever seen.
