All due respect to Arch but he’s done nothing that’s even close Joe Smith’s four-year peak
NEW: Texas' Steve Sarkisian on QB Arch Manning: "If you took the name off the back of his jersey and you said here's Joe Smith playing quarterback at the University of Texas, we'd be praising the guy." (h/t @tbhorka) on3.com/news/steve-sarkisian…

Covered a lot of ground on this week's Baseball Insiders (including opening baseball cards on your wedding day @AdamWeinrib) ⤵️

As the son of the Laguna Beach safeties coach (who also put both of his kids through USC) I can say he’d love to have you on board 🌊
Lemme know if they looking for a DB coach 😂🔥

Something I'd bet the vast majority of fans who are begging for a salary cap aren't aware of. Great breakdown by @joonlee here on how the Dodgers' TV deal gives them a massive $$ advantage over the rest of the league
For more context on the Dodgers having the $$ to trade for Tarik Skubal ⬇️

I once again am called upon to discuss the Cubs (plus the mess in San Francisco):

Tried channeling my inner @RumorsandRants when discussing the state of the Padres

Early trade deadline talk on Baseball Insiders ⤵️

Had a great time talking trade candidates on the Baseball Insiders pod—it's never too early to check in on the hot stove:
The Baseball Insiders: Early look at trade deadline candidates; what the Lucas Giolito signing means for the Padres; much more. With @AdamWeinrib and special guest @NickSelbe: youtube.com/live/5XpApYTKasA

This is a work of art, made better by the use of cursive
Got bored during the ACT so I named almost every baseball player I could off the dome

Many people are saying it's the Big Ten matchup of the season* Had a blast talking USC-Northwestern with @ZachKoons! No one covers the Wildcats better (*between private schools on a Friday night)
New Bleav in Northwestern podcast! 🚨🏈🚨 Friday night lights vs. USC and Sports Illustrated’s @NickSelbe comes on to dive deep on the Trojans. Jayden Maiava (is he good?), a scary skill group and a defense with a huge weakness. Plus, picks! Check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Three months ago, the Blue Jays traded for Shane Bieber in hopes he’d be able to turn in a performance like he did last night. Latest for @SInow on how Bieber and the rest of Toronto’s mid-season acquisitions have them two wins away from a championship: si.com/mlb/blue-jays-shane-b…

Might have missed his location on this one
OHTANI!!!!!!!!!! WOW. (via @MLB)

With so much hand-wringing about how the Dodgers are ruining baseball (not true!), looking back at the last 25 World Series winners is a good way to realize that champions come in many shapes and sizes
Now that the 2025 World Series is set … our Digital Cover today ranks the 25 World Series champions of the century. Put a lot of work into this with Tom Verducci, @NickSelbe and @RumorsandRants. Feel free to tell me how we screwed up the rankings 😌 si.com/mlb/ranking-25-best-b…

In his 18th season, Clayton Kershaw no longer blows hitters away with overpowering stuff. But the Dodgers ace is finding new ways to dominate and come to his team’s rescue amid a 5-0 August: si.com/mlb/how-clayton-kersh…
