I was begging @KU_Football to play the field possession game. @CoachLeipold didn’t hear me from Michiana. Now it’s up to the offense to restore order, and handle the adversity. The adversity the coach put them in.

It IS a great story.
As requested....... Story by Mark Grace.... Rick Sutcliffe gave up back-to-back home run`s in Cincinnati. And in Cincinnati, they shoot off fireworks after a Red hits a home run. Sutcliffe was pretty intense on the day he pitched. So Eric Davis takes him deep and Paul O'Neill takes him deep right after that. So Sutcliffe is all mad, and pitching coach Billy Connors comes out to the mound and Sutcliffe yells at him: "I know I gave up back-to-back home runs, but get your ass back in the dugout and tell Zimmer to settle down too!" Billy Connors looks at him and says: "I know you have everything under control, Rick. I just wanted to give that guy running the fireworks a little more time to reload." With apologies to Mr. Sutcliffe, still my favorite baseball story!

With the loss on Saturday 9/26/2026, the @Royals will go the month of September without winning a series. @mlb @MLBStats @KSeaboldt. Going into the final day of the season KC is 6-17 for the month. (If my math is correct).

The University of Michigan School of Athletic Proctology is open on Saturday nights. Or so it seems.

I’ve told my Fantasy Football colleagues “I am self-hazing.” I used prize money to buy the @Royals streaming package, and I make myself watch so I won’t make any more horrid decisions. It’s a little like getting a root canal from a proctologist. @SportsRadio810

Take the last four letters of the @Royals managers last name. Sounds like Astro when the bullpen is called on.

Is France preparing a concession speech? Are Patriot fans encouraging the French to hang in there?

There are currently 2,901 players in the men’s basketball transfer portal, opening 14 hours ago. With only 5,607 Division I players total, more than half of the player pool is now in the portal.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There are not 2,901 players in the men's DI basketball transfer portal; trackers report more than 800 to 1,000 entries as of April 7, 2026. The account's bio states "Everything I do is Satire." espn.com/mens-college-b… 247sports.com/season/2026-ba… x.com/ShaneTuttleNCAA

I was starting to think the rims were borrowed from a roadside carnival. Nobody’s winning any teddy bears! @KUHoops #CBUvsKU

Aerial view of Royals Stadium in 1973. The Royals still currently play there making it the 5th oldest stadium in MLB.

Can any @BoilerBall fans tell me why Braden Smith doesn’t have his name on the back of his jersey? @PurdueSports

I’ve never seen a @KUHoops game so disheveled. Ever. There are two things we know at halftime. KU isn’t this bad, and ASU isn’t this good.

I saw a list placing Bramlage on a list of best places to watch college basketball. They must have a really great Jumbotron.

Regardless of which halftime show a viewer avoided, it had to be easier to watch than the @Patriots offense. @nfl #SuperBowlLX

I almost (ALMOST) feel bad for @Bills fans. We long-time @Chiefs fans (age 40 and up) know suffering and disappointment, but this is bordering on cruel.
