Perfect encapsulation. “What’s disturbing about the ensuing leadership squabble though, is that while it was going on, it seemed more urgent than the crime.”

It’s now been a week. When will the top story become about the active investigation into a shooting at a major festival? Right now firing the police chief has worked from a messaging standpoint. It’s completely distracting coverage from the actual event.

Imagine being Oregon and still not having a national championship.

What role does the guy that deleted his text messages and lied about it serve in now? Historians should cover the NCAA as one of the most out of touch, misguided institutions with the most outsized impact we’ve ever seen.
The NCAA says there were sufficient grounds for a multiyear postseason ban. "However, the panel determined that a postseason ban would unfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program."

Real credit to @MollyAMcGrath for asking Marcus Freeman that question and the incredible humility in his response. This is a special moment to finally have a black head coach in a college football championship game.

The @pac12 lives! What a statement for west coast football.

The 2024 post-election analysis of Trump gaining vote share by percentage has to be the laziest of my lifetime. The story of this election was turnout, full stop. The country didn’t get redder — it just stayed home.

Hey @GregMcElroy, who just said the best team Indiana has played this year in Michigan: What does having a better record and…beating Michigan do for Washington?

Glad they rejected you! (And to be at the game just below you)
Last game I missed was the 2000 opener vs. Idaho. I was with the UW baseball team in Cuba. Cool that 300 comes vs. Northwestern, both of my parents' alma mater, and the last place to reject me for a full-time job before UW offered me one back in '91.

Only question at this point is whether the M’s are going to turn a 10-game lead into losing the division by 10 games.

Why couldn’t Root Sports have been blacked out?

Has there ever been a more infuriating baseball team than the 2024 Seattle Mariners?

All of that could’ve been avoided if you just let Woo — at 73 pitches (!) — walk Alvarez and get the next guy.

One baffling thing is the assumption Oregon is so well-positioned. At its height, the program never won a title and only got close once. Washington had 2 CFP trips while UO hasn’t been there in a decade, despite all this great recruiting. nytimes.com/athletic/5611204…
