What should have been a loss of yardage for Maryland ended up being an 87-yard touchdown. Sadly, this isn’t a total surprise if you have been watching Purdue’s defense this year.

I started to dig into the numbers because that is what I do. Democrats over performed this year compared to historical numbers. Meanwhile, Republicans severely underperformed. I would share what my math says, but I don’t think people are ready to hear it.

Horrible night for Republicans. Some of the results are shocking. Are there lessons to be learned? Yes! Any postmortem on this election should start with an honest assessment of why Republican voters didn’t show up this year.

The early numbers are um, concerning. Some of those will revert to form, but not all of them.

Chelsea needs to find a new club for Fofana. Every time he touches the ball he’s a liability.

Someone is going to have to explain to me how Estevao was offside on that. Even after seeing the replay and graphic it still doesn’t make sense.

It would appear that society isn’t fully ready for AI.

Over the last few years the WNBA has seen a massive increase in fan interest, but they have basically shrugged their shoulders at it. Players livelihoods are much better off as a result. Normal people would embrace this.

Great win by Purdue yesterday! The rest of the season should be fun.

I really hope the Braves address this in the offseason.

The Braves have another disappointing end to the season. Other than Harris, the offense didn’t perform. The three that were especially bad were Acuna, Olson, and Riley. Simply not good enough! Maybe in the offseason they can remember how to hit.

Friendly reminder: Some political endorsements yield absolutely nothing aka zero votes.

When you read the news first thing in the morning and then you realize why a certain situation is the way it is. 👀

I saw the video of A’ja Wilson going into the stands last night. What the fan did was pretty harmless. A player being provoked over that should get a fine and a suspension.

A certain team needs a new head coach. I should be a fan of said coach given their history, but it’s obvious their agenda gets in the way of what the team needs. It should be an interesting off season.

The only way to be successful now in college football is invest heavily in NIL. Recruiting middle of the road guys and coaching them up isn’t possible anymore. You have to spend big if you want to win. This is why Purdue will continue to struggle.
