My favorite argument surrounding college football’s schedule is that people are mad that teams are trying to maximize their chances to make the playoff. That’s smart!

I’m in a bar in NYC and the world of college sports is being flipped on its head. Going to continue to enjoy my time in a bar in NYC and worry about college sports at a later time.
My model’s contract projection for Chris Olave. Not too shabby on the AAV and guaranteed money.

Jalen Carter and Brian O'Neill got new deals today...which one do you think ages best?
Caitlin Clark's offense is good but she can get to another level quite easily by cutting turnovers. The issue, though, is her defense. And maybe that is a product of Indiana's roster construction, but she needs to get better on that end of the court.
My model has Gonzalez getting $25M per year but I’m a bit more bullish on him as a player.
Robert Kraft on Christian Gonzalez: Patriots love him, made him offer as highest-paid CB, richest contract in franchise history, and hope he is with us for a long time.
LeBron is awesome and undoubtedly one of the top two players of all-time (#1 in my opinion). Unfortunately, he's not a great GM and his move to Philly is more evidence.

Mid-July recruiting rankings update: - Georgia and Alabama are outside the Top-10 - The state of Texas runs recruiting this year - Oklahoma and Florida putting together nice classes
He was awesome today but Spain didn't even have a fully healthy Nico Williams and they were the class of the tournament.
Best chance of the day for Spain there. Martinez is on one.
Are there ref effects in soccer? Argentina has four yellow cards to Spain's zero. They can definitely play more aggressive and assume the ref is going to be conservative against them.
Full time xG Map from @OptaAnalyst Feels like Spain has more than 1.2 xG but they do. Surely they'll find one against 10 men in extra time, right?
If the Spain player would have helicoptered himself, Argentina would have been down two men!
You hardly see receivers go across the middle and fly that high in the air. Soccer is wild!
Every Argentina touch in the offensive third has been HORRID.
Trying to put this Spain performance in football terms... They've basically dominated on both sides of the ball but keep settling for field goals (and missing) sprinkled with some fourth down failures in the red zone.
Between the World Cup and Zootopia, Shakira is giving Taylor Swift a run for most popular singer in my family.
I am wondering how it is possible for soccer matches have both teams in the tunnel without them fighting.
I'm seeing a lot of Spain love today. I agree with it based on recent performance. But we are getting a little consensus...

Argentina is up a man and begging for the Swiss to find an equalizer. What are they doing?
That was a blatant flop. But it’s hilarious that a sport that thrives on diving at the slightest of contact now gives yellows for diving.
