Tough to overstate the role that The Rooster’s reporting played in Ohio’s election cycle the last two years. Only furthers my theory that there is no better training ground for modern media than the Ohio State football beat.

An ugly incident towards an official in last nights OHSAA District soccer game between New Philadelphia and Steubenville.
We have reached out to the OHSAA Director of Officials who does not have an update at this time.

Michigan fans trying to explain why they were irrelevant for two decades, suddenly became elite the exact same year the sign-stealing operation started, and then immediately fell off again:

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

look, Deshaun Watson is a terrible person, and he's actively antagonizing the loyal Browns fans still willing to pay money to see this team, and he's not a part of the future of the franchise, and he's untradeable.
But you've gotta admit: He's also absolutely awful at football

I'm convinced Royce White's perpetual candidacy is his hack to subsidize his lifestyle while dodging child support.
Under federal law, nonincumbents can draw candidate compensation while donor money covers everyday living costs like travel, hotel stays, meals, and transportation.
Roll straight from one primary loss into the next campaign, and you’ve built a self-sustaining personal financial loop.
Living on campaign spending keeps W-2 earned income artificially low, and courts set support based on reported wages.
Offsetting expenses via campaign perks keeps official income down and shields benefits from wage garnishment.
The paper trail already exists. An FEC complaint already flagged over $157k in 2022 campaign funds spent on strip clubs, clothing, and opaque cash/wire transfers. Paired with documented child-support arrears, it's pretty clear his political candidacies are just a lifestyle business.

“The Blue Jackets, it has been said, are the team that parity forgot and parody won’t let free.”
I'd say that we - as #CBJ fans - don't deserve @Aportzline, but the reality is we deserve a better team for him to write about.

The NHL needs to do better.
Team's have a near 60% (58.8%) chance of winning when playing an opponent on the 2nd half of a back to back.
This schedule poses a significant advantage for teams at the top of this list.
You can't have teams getting 5 while others are getting 19

Joel Nystrom, who played 38 games for the Hurricanes, is not engraved on the Cup, but the owner put the names of his five children.
Other support staff are also deserving.
Tacky. And not at all surprising.
