When JMU missed its go ahead field goal in overtime, a teammate accidentally hit James London in the eye while celebrating on the sidelines. Three plays later, he drilled the biggest kick of his life, despite only being able to see out of one eye!

For more than six decades, 103-year-old Irvin Koch has been pouring drinks for customers out of the basement of his home in Maryland.
His dive bar, legally zoned for commercial use, is a time capsule tucked away from the rest of the world above. wapo.st/4y7FQap

In the current day and age of NFL teams mailing in the preseason, I think it makes sense to not play any divisional games the first four games of the season - similar to college football.
Regardless, no team should be starting the season with back-to-back divisional road games.

AGUSTIN RAMIREZ WALKS OFF THE DODGERS WITH A TWO-RUN HOME RUN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH!!

Unacceptable lack of concentration. I’m committed to studying the film and getting back to the fundamentals. I’ll be ready the next time the ball is thrown my way.

It's hilarious that tonight's game is effectively being used to determine whether jet lag is real when in reality there are two approaches to international travel: 1) arrive early enough to adapt or 2) arrive late enough to stay on a consistent time zone. The 49ers took one approach; the Rams took the other. But neither approach is necessarily wrong, and just because one team wins doesn't mean that is the protocol everyone should follow.

The FCS had two nights of ball fully belonging to them before the FBS kicked off Week Zero on Saturday
In those two nights…
3 DII Teams beat FCS Teams including Ohio Dominican’s 3OT Win
1 NAIA Team beat a FCS Team
4 Top 25 Teams lost
West Florida won its first ever FCS game as 20.5 point dogs
Houston Christian won as as a 25 point dog
DeSean Jackson led Delaware State to a season opening win
William & Mary erased a 32-22 deficit with under a minute left and won in regulation
Weber State beat Northern Colorado on a blocked XP with 3 seconds left
Cal Poly beat Idaho with a GW TD on 4th & 8 with less than 10 seconds left
That’s how you take advantage of the spotlight

The Brewers are an MLB-best 81-49 despite hitting the fewest home runs in baseball (120). 😲
So how are they doing it?
They lead MLB in OBP (.337) and chase rate (27%), rank second in walk rate (11%) and third in stolen bases (129) and sac bunts (30).
They get on base.

Craig Albernaz and Pete Alonso both referenced how the ball-tracking data on the iPads in the Orioles’ dugout had Alonso’s big fly as a fair ball, not foul.
“There’s ball-tracking data,” Albernaz said. “It’s really tough to have that come back as stands and have that visual in the dugout.
“It’s 2026. I think technology has advanced pretty good. There were teams using AI on the iPads, and other sports use ball-tracking data for challengeable calls. I don’t understand why we don’t do it.”
