COLUMN: Brian Kelly is out of answers at LSU. He might be out of time, too. Is he worth a $53 million buyout? The Texas A&M team that beat up LSU on Saturday shows why it may be worth the risk. Me from Baton Rouge: www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...
LSU’s Brian Kelly looked like a coach out of answers vs. Texas A&M — he may soon be out of time
Kelly has failed in the biggest games at LSU. He’s just 5-11 against ranked opponents during his three-plus seasons.

Baseball’s rule book has been around for 783 years and somehow manages to let the game fall straight into the phantom zone at the worst possible moments
the winner of this should just be given the World Series trophy
Apologies to anyone who has seen me in person the last three days and heard me mutter “DAAAAA YANKEE LOSE!” every 35 seconds
I might’ve been the only one watching Yanks/Jays and WNBA Finals in multiview but I’m pretty sure both games ended within five seconds of each other
