GET READY, BLOOMINGTON‼️ We’re coming to your city to see the defending champ Hoosiers against the upset-minded Gophers 🙌

Hey, this sign from Holiday Spirits in Over The Rhine is pretty cool. #SellTheTeamBob

things that would make cfb 28 better than focusing on an open world concept: * update visit logic - an A+ visit on a close loss should help me, not have 0 impact just bc i lost * fix NIL logic - if somone wants 100 NIL and goes all year with no offers, my 70 NIL offer shouldnt hurt * fix auto progression - i have friends that have NO CHOICE but to do manual progression now because they realize how bad the auto progression logic is - that's unfortunate * make manual progression the default - if we auto progress when we dont spend points ANYWAYS, why can't manual just be the default? multiple times ive been autoprogressed bc i forgot to turn it on * make archetypes dynamic - you can make a 'pure runner' QB 99 short,med,deep accuracy and he will be 79 overall. sorry bro, at that point THAT IS NOT A PURE RUNNER!! THAT IS PEYTON MANNING! * add dynamic storylines - genuinely SUCKS that everyone knows the 'diamond in the rough' players at the start of portals. ruins the fun of scouting and finding players - make dev traits, skill caps etc dynamic for NIL players if we WANT (not required) * add an API - small thing, but so many more people would be invested if they had free tools to support their dynasties. EA is harming themselves by not letting folks build those types of things natively * add transaction logs - we know it stores it in the PC save files, why not let that be public to make sure cheating doesnt occur? * on that note, just go copy a TON of the principles that fantasy football does well. league histories, deep stats, heavy customization, etc - dynasty mode and fantasy are both 'fake football' that people love - learn from them * simulate a dynasty 10 years in the future - see what breaks, and plz fix - wont emphasize this more than we already have * consider balancing nil expectations across HS and transfers - right now the meta is to land like 25-30 transfers per class - that's probably not good? IN GENERAL: give players more customization, more 'knobs and levers' to mess with, more data, and more closely follow 'reality' this is just a brain dump but we could probably think of 20+ more things BEFORE EVEN TALKING about gameplay!!!

Yes everyone knows you get the gather step, extra hop before release, 2 additional steps for years of service, and of course the Draftkings Bonus Step

Sal Stewart has been named @sportingnews NL Rookie of the Year‼️

Dan Houser revealed Gavin was real, and RDR2's original opening was too dark to keep "I think he's the best lead character." - Dan Houser on Arthur Morgan Houser has called Red Dead Redemption 2 the best thing he's ever worked on. Here's everything he told Lex Fridman about it: Arthur Morgan Arthur's TB came from Houser's own family. His grandfather had TB and was sent to a sanatorium, where "only three of them out of like 35 survived". After John's sudden death in RDR1, Houser wanted a long, drawn-out death: "As diseases go, it's a great literary device". Arthur was "platonically in love" with Dutch, and his journey is "retaking that power in the moment of dying". Arthur's journal was the art team's idea. The cut opening The game originally opened with Arthur's baby having just died. It made Arthur "very, very nasty at the start," and was cut because "it was too tough in some ways". "I still like that little bit. It spoke to me personally" Gavin "No, Gavin existed. So it wasn't that he was a split personality". Rockstar hadn't decided if a future game would reveal Gavin was dead, or that he'd abandoned Nigel. "I just loved the way he shouted, 'Gavin.' It just amused me" Dutch "He's just drowning in his ego at the end". "There was something flawed but beautiful in his idealism when he was younger". The world RDR1 was "a super dusty game," so the sequel needed something new: "That's why the game starts in the snow". The cowboy setting gives "a sort of mythic seriousness" a modern setting can't. Behind the scenes RDR2 was "behind schedule" and "over budget so much I didn't want to think about it". An abandoned GTA 5 DLC, where Trevor was a secret agent, made room for RDR2: "If that had come out, probably wouldn't have gotten to make Red Dead 2" #RDR2

We get to coach the games. Our wives get the late dinners, the bedtime routines without us, and the version of us still replaying the fourth quarter two hours after we get home. They build relationships with our players, hurt with us after losses, and make sacrifices that never show up in a box score. So much of what we get to do depends on what they quietly take care of. Wrote this one for my wife, Jess, and all the coaches’ wives who deserve more credit than they get. programhq.app/resources/coac…

Dawg this is a travel in every level lmaooo

There has been some massive moves made in the NFL this morning.. The Indianapolis Colts have fired Chris Ballard #PMSLive

BREAKING: CHRIS BALLARD, IN HIS 10th SEASON IN INDY, HAS BEEN FIRED AS @Colts GM

Contender for line of the year? "If Buckner bit his tongue any harder, he’d be on injured reserve." Exceptionally well-written look at how dark things have gotten in Indy by @RomeovilleKid. nytimes.com/athletic/7703264…

Buckle up liver, daddy got good news today

We have relieved Chris Ballard of his duties as General Manager.

If McAffee has any balls tmrw on his show he will absolutely blast the organization. From top to bottom.

🤬@Colts

The Colts lost Seth Da Flow. The most damning indictment of Chris Ballard yet.

I took some heat from insinuating baseball players were the best athletes Looks like I wasn’t that crazy after all People hate it, but track doesn’t transfer to sport as well as a lot of people would like you to think

These are the moments we work for.

My politics are whatever it takes to get these people out of my country forever.

During the last 2 CBA eras. Small Markets have made the championship series 8 times. Zero World Series. Major Markets 28 times. 6 World Series. I’m glad in 2026 Small Markets got it done- but miss all of us with the “SEE- There’s not an advantage”. Please. Stop.
