Hard to be more inaccurate than this paragraph ... 2025 NBA Finals averaged 10.27M (and that was a panel-only number too; probably over 11M under "Big Data"). Comparing CFB viewership to the NBA's household rating (5.1). Always seems to happen just with the NBA, but whatever.

It might be because of my long-time membership in the Pat Murphy appreciation society, but I have a feeling that this is finally going to be the #Brewers’ year, at least for the NL flag. #ThisIsMyCrew

"My main aim was to win. I was more tired than nervous. All I know is that we lost. What's so historic about that? Didn't anyone else ever lose a thirteen inning shutout? Not a day goes by that somebody doesn’t ask me about that game. I think I got more notoriety from it because I lost." Harvey “The Kitten” Haddix. "I called Harvey that night in the visiting clubhouse. I told him: "I realize I got what I wanted, a win, but I'd really give it up because you pitched the greatest game that's ever been pitched in the history of baseball. It was a damned shame you had to lose." Lew Burdette. Most famous in baseball history for the game he pitched for the Pirates against the Milwaukee Braves on May 29, 1959. In that game he threw 12 perfect no-hit, no walk, no run innings, only to lose the game in the 13th inning. Haddix retired 36 consecutive batters in 12 innings. Considered by many to be the best pitching performance in MLB history. First pitcher in MLB history to take a perfect game beyond nine innings. Braves lead-off batter Felix Mantilla reached on a throwing error by Pirates 3B Don Hoak, Eddie Mathews sacrificed Mantilla to 2nd, Hank Aaron was walked intentionally and Joe Adcock hit a 3-run home run. Joe Adcock, however, passed Aaron on the bases and was only credited with a 1-run double. The Braves were stealing signs from catcher Smokey Burgess. Haddix was told later that the Brewers had stolen the Pirates' signs and were tipping off their hitters from the bullpen. All of Milwaukee's hitters except for Hank Aaron, who refused to look for the bullpen's signals, knew what was coming and still couldn't hit it.

Breaking: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, sources tell @PeteThamel. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

It's the ALCS and the Rays and Guardians are playing a game at 1pm on a Thursday. What are we doing, MLB?

Mason Miller and Max Fried have kids due imminently. Miller takes paternity leave and ditches the Padres. Fried stays with Yankees and ditches his wife. What do you think is the right call? As a dad of two, both via emergency C-section (put under), I think Fried is selfish.
