The problem here (not with Ralph's excellent summary but with the Big Ten line of thinking) is that there will still be ways for the committee to screw over deserving teams, like, say, a 6-2 Northwestern!

Sergio is an absolute superstar. Huge loss for us, huge win for ESPN.
Glass Break: ESPN has hired Sergio Gonzalez, an editorial director at The Athletic, as VP of digital editorial, @FOS has learned.
He will report to Mike Foss and is the top digital newsroom hire since Roxanna Scott's position was eliminated in August.

Sale was pitching in a Game 5 with an off day the next day. MadBum, Randy, and last year's World Series MVP who this guy mysteriously forgot to include for some reason were in Game 7. This takes like three seconds to figure out.

I haven't agreed with everything Jerry has written, but he approaches each subject with depth and nuance. Especially the McAfee/GameDay thing, which if McAfee had bothered to actually read it is about what GameDay is as a whole now, with him as a symptom, not a cause
When you start every episode of GameDay with Pat cutting a promo, even a good one, you change the show's center of gravity.
That's exactly the point @JerryBrewer was making: nytimes.com/athletic/7691367…

Hello 911? I'd like to report a murder
.@JoeyVotto and @MadDogUnleashed don't agree about Junior Caminero's home run trot last night 😂
"When we get you in a big moment, we're going to dunk on you and celebrate."

If this was a random game in late May or something, I could understand the argument that this was irresponsible showboating.
HE HIT A HOME RUN TO HELP SEND HIS TEAM TO THE WORLD FREAKING SERIES.
C'mon people.
Junior Caminero took 38.66 seconds to round the bases.
Second-slowest time in the Statcast era on an undisputed homer/uninterrupted trot, per @SlangsOnSports.

Apparently, because this is X in 2026 and people can't read, I'm saying that someone who actually experienced the other end of a cheating scandal is saying that the Brewers are just really freaking good.

Actual person directly impacted by the 2017 Astros cheating scandal btw
Kiké Hernández hopes the Brewers win the World Series after eliminating the Dodgers, saying they are "almost playing perfect baseball."
"Their pitching was lights out. Their offense was almost suffocating ... they just didn't give us a chance." @CBSLosAngeles
THE ABSOLUTE GOAT @PaolaBoivin
UCLA’s new QB, Ty Dieffenbach, has a famous aunt who can help him with any media questions. Paola Boivin is director of the Cronkite News Sports Bureau at ASU. She’s a great writer and leader.

I'll never @schwagerTV telling me in our first semester of grad school that there was this kid from near his home area in DC who had ascended to another plane of existence on the high school football field and was now backing up Spencer Rattler at Oklahoma
Good column. This story is about the Trail Blazers' ineptitude first and foremost
With Braiden Bell's teenage thoughts now on full display, it's worth reminding you that the Trail Blazers did not need to hire a new play-by-play man this year.
They did this to themselves, as usual.

I don't think I've ever seen a more disgusting double standard in sports media than Braiden Bell getting fired for some idiotic things he said when he was a teenager and Deshaun Watson getting the treatment he did from multiple outlets during last night's coverage.
The wild part is, it would not have been hard for the Trail Blazers to look into Braiden Bell's adult life and those who have known him over the past 10 years to determine there was nothing more. Instead, because they're the Trail Blazers, they took the cheap and easy way out.
A good organization would have researched if there was anything more to Braiden Bell's tweets.
If there were not, it would let him apologize for insensitive tweets as a 15-year-old and let him keep the job.
The Trail Blazers do not appear to be a good organization.

@JoshPateCFB wasn't there someone on your bold predictions segments who said Oregon would be 2-2 after its first 4 games?
