2025 has been a year of changes. Some, I’m making to be healthier. Others, like this one, I’m making because I want to. I decided to take the “Dry January” trend and push it, well, indefinitely.

Aaaand there’s your lockout, folks.
With free agency already underway, and recognizing that Clubs will need a full offseason to operate within the cap and floor system, MLB is proposing to phase in the salary cap and floor in 2028 The projected cap and floor payrolls for 2028 would make 12 clubs increase payroll by $636M to reach the floor, and 8 clubs to decrease payroll $528M to reach the cap. Overall, this would net a $108M payroll increase Starting in 2028 would allow a smoother transition into the cap and floor system without delaying key player benefits

Now, there’s a leader. Not the entitled crybaby.

Pistons have scored on 6 of last 7 possessions - and scored 3 points on all of them. Three triples from Duncan Robinson, 1 from Javonte Green, an and-one for Duren and three FTs for Robinson. Celtics haven't scored on 6 straight trips.
Pistons on 18-0 run to go from 10 down to 8 up, 107-99, with 5:10 to play.

Duncan is a perfect name for a guy who is so prolific from three.
Back-to-back Duncan Robinson 3s, after he went to the line for 3 FTs before that, and the Pistons have again pulled within 4 at 99-95 with 7:34 left. Not bad for Game 1 of 82.

Bye. Won’t miss ya, kid.
Former No. 1 overall recruit Bryce Underwood has been in contact with Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, Ole Miss and several other programs since being benched in favor of freshman QB Tommy Carr, according to his agent, Brandon Grier.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
College football's NCAA transfer portal window is closed until January; contact with a player or their agent before entry is tampering under NCAA rules. No major outlets have corroborated these specific claims of recent contacts. ncaa.org/news/division-… bcsfootball.org/college-footba… espn.com/college-footba… ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

Yup. Time to bench Underwood for good.

Gotta say, there’s something about watching a Wings game on TV with the signature ESPN hockey tune playing. Some days, it’s the little things.

Michigan legalized weed because they knew it was the only way we could deal with Ilitch owning two sports teams
