Where's Tanner?

Outdoors, on grass, sunny Miami.

Great offensive teams, stars coming in, but great defensive game plans...was low scoring but not because of bad play. The stars had to earn it.

Who squeaked by the Bills thanks to blatantly terrible calls at end...silver splatter victory. Bills might've saved this...at least there'd be a storyline... And hope.

Such a worthless rag that I wouldn’t even let my dog poop on it.

They just fired about 300 employees (1/3 of staff) because nobody reads that rag.

In a staff meeting in 2024, Mr. Lewis warned that The Post was in trouble. “We are losing large amounts of money,” he said. “Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff.”

Matt Murray, The Post’s executive editor, said on a call Wednesday morning with newsroom employees that the company had lost too much money for too long and had not been meeting readers’ needs.

A sports reporter in Italy for the Winter Olympics said that he would keep filing articles despite being laid off.

If they don't believe in borders, why are they at the Olympics?

The Event is designed, built and competed by borders. There's probably some X Games they can prep for in the meantime.

The scores made no sense to me

Anything judged in the Winter Olympics generally makes zero sense unless you're part of that niche sport. (See terminology of tricks and scoring in snowboarding, foreign to the average viewer).

Which is why I always liked the Downhill, you can tune in and out, fastest one down wins...waiting on spills and crashes.

Ice skating judging? You need a Degree in International Affairs.

Getting caught and a historic culture of cheating are two very different things.

Bama built a mafia wall around campus to keep out prying eyes and of course, politics... All NCAA investigations are political like anything else...and after getting in trouble so many times, Bama just put men on the inside who pull the strings.

Watched all those Niner teams in the 80s and Craig was an important cog in the wheel but you always felt, someone else could be back there and do similar equally well or better.

He was never, lets feed Craig, lets just ride Craig type of back.

In fact, the one time that everyone remembers when the Niners tried to feed Craig to run out the clock on their way to the Super Bowl was the NFC Title game...

Craig infamously fumbled the ball back to the Giants with under 3 minutes to go on 1st down at the Giants 40 yard line. Giants kicked a FG as time expired to go to the SB. Cost the Niners a 3- peat.

It was Craig's last game as a Niner as they left him unprotected and he signed with the Raiders the next year as the Niners used a slew of running backs to finish 11th in rushing the next season which was a substantial improvement from the year before.

Not saying he's not deserving, and good for him for a good career and one fumble should not define that career of course but he wasn't indispensable but a part of the Niners machine. Maybe he didn't get in 15 years ago because the ones who voted then, actually covered him and still remembered his fumble and saw him differently than new voters who rely on time, distance and stats and a new narrative. Time heals all wounds. He's not a bad choice, just a reflection on the lack of stability and structure in the Hall election process.

His Dad was a hockey player and Coach.

There's definitely nuance to that statement that we're not privy too, especially since we don't know the relationship they had nor the manner in how it was said.

There isn't anyone in College sports who is a kid.

Funny how the age of "kids" keeps growing in our society, from the sports world to culture to crime. Soon it will be 30 and under.

Can't buy Cigarettes in some States until you're 21 , can't even buy a lighter.

But hey, at 17-18 , you could storm the Beaches of Normandy with a wife back home.
