There’s been multiple times this year they’ve done a Red Alert and show an incomplete pass or a 5 yard gain it’s gone so downhill since ESPN bought it
It feels sacrilegious to ever complain about God's greatest gift to man, but... The Red Zone Channel has been a fairly disappointing product this year And I feel like whoever the producer of the show is right now is to blame So much time spent on showing replays of the same thing over and over and over again (the Browns' game-winning field goal this week and the Jayden Daniels play last week) Rather than showing what is currently going on in the other games (mind-blowing, really) I feel like they're using the double and quad box way less often, and we're constantly missing big plays Everything also feels more delayed because of this, and I find myself needing to check my phone more often because of it

Framing medical malpractice as a uplifting story >>>>
How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

Anti analytics tweet and using the brewers, rays and guardians as your evidence
Natalie (Nat/Nattie)
We’ve spent years talking about the Dodgers payroll, but are we asking the WRONG question? Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, Cleveland… year after year, these organizations find ways to compete without spending like the giants. At what point do big-market teams stop obsessing over analytics and start POACHING the scouts from these organizations? Maybe the biggest competitive advantage in baseball isn’t payroll. It’s knowing how to IDENTIFY TALENT that can compete when the lights are the brightest?..

Wow Lerner splurging Skubal, Suzuki, Rogers, King and trading for Hader I got chills
The Nationals will enter the winter with the smallest payroll in MLB by about $25 million, per @EthanHullihen. That is a wide margin. So which players are at their disposal at different spending limits? Free to read: nytimes.com/athletic/7690071…

Nationals legend Nathaniel Lowe hits the nail on the head “it’s a commitment to winning issue from owners”
Major League Baseball wants a salary cap and says it's to ensure smaller-market, lower-payroll teams can win in the postseason. Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay are winning without one. Free at ESPN, how to reconcile the 2026 postseason and cap talk: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5016…

Talkin' Baseball
A thought I just had: Phillies need a revamp, will need to trade expensive stars, will require a trade partner with prospect capital, payroll space, and need for vet. Gen Z Nats are ready for a Werth-type, have prospect capital and payroll space to burn. Could you imagine…
