Agree. The current system is a complete mess. Just get me to the season, tell me who is playing for the teams I like and then I will root for them. Everything in between the seasons is rubbish.

Big shout out to the Beechwood Tigers on their first boys regional track championship! Here are the regional results: https://ky.milesplit.com/meets/615732-class-1a-region-4-2024/results A lot of football guys leading the way - Luke Erdman, Xavier Campbell, James Cusick all winning events with Erdman a first place in 3 events and Campbell first in 2 events. Also winning their event was Oliver Unger in the high jump. On the girls side, Beechwood girls took first in almost half the events but fell just short another regional title, finishing second. Top performers for Beechwood girls were Maryah Counts (3 individual first place), Caroline Nordman (3 individual seconds behind Counts in all 3), and Lily Parke (2 individual firsts). Good luck at state to both teams! Go Tigers!!

I heard a long time D1 sports connected official talking about this and he said it is another step toward the Power 5 conferences leaving the NCAA. The Power 5 conferences will be another type of professional sports. Everything else will go be scholarship sports with some NIL available if athletes can find it. I have heard other commentators say they expect the Power 5 to be separated from the NCAA within 5 years or less.

I agree that Charlie played the best game. But the person who played the best game usually does not win Survivor. Kenzie played a good game and I am ok with her winning. Liz is delusional. Now, two things that I found very irritating in this final episode. 1. I think it is outrageous that they let Liz do part of an immunity challenge for Kenzie. That should never be allowed - NEVER! I cannot believe they let that happen. Probst completely blew it letting that happen. 2. Kenzie won votes, and won the game IMO because of her story of working for nothing her whole life. That is why Maria voted for her and Q also. That should not be the reason why you vote for someone. What they are going to do with the money should not be the reason why you vote for someone. If that is how you are going to decide your vote, then they don't even need to play the game. Everyone can just line up on the beach and tell their background story and what they're going to do with the money and have the vote. How you played the game should far outweigh anything else in how you vote.

Like I said, Reds win 9-6. A baseball game is the most difficult sports contest to predict. It truly is anything can happen on a given night.

Holiday weekend. Weather warming up. School is out. And it's the Dodgers with Betts and Ohtani.

This is not the opponent to turn things around against. Which means look for a Reds series win.

Good word. Although I don't know if it is possible for Joe Morris to retire surreptitiously.

As a Beechwood fan, I like that bracket. Winning the district championship was huge. Also, for clarification the games are at Thomas More Stadium, as it is stated on the bracket.

Make it painful for the players. Then the union complains to the league about the 3 games in 10 days scheduling. The NFL then negotiates a way to stop the 3 games in 10 days scheduling by adding the 18th regular season game. I believe there are 9 teams this year playing 3 games in 10 days and that happened rarely in previous seasons.

The videos all help Scheffler version and hurt the police officer version of the story.

Mo Egger on ESPN 1530 says he believes the NFL did this scheduling on purpose this year to push the players into agreeing to an 18th regular season game.

As Scott van Pelt said tonight, "The charade is over." The NCAA and power 5 conferences reached an agreement to pay players directly. They will pay players going back to 2016. Payout will be $2.7B over the next 10 years. All current lawsuits need to be dropped. More details to come but it looks like athletes are getting paid going forward. I wonder how this impacts NIL? I assume NIL is still there for the top athletes.

Always tough to get info on this game. They have played at Dixie for several years so I expect it to be played there. First or second week of June? Isn't that when they usually play it?
