FC Augsburg believes it's quite terrible to have 17 other Bundesliga clubs sitting on a bunch of the league's limited supply of points.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Might surprise you that a quintessentially American sports moment should captivate a young (at the time!) Scot. Will never forget where I was when Kirk Gibson did this. Harvard Square, 1988. Narrated by the legendary Vin Scully.

Today in 1988: Barely able to walk, Kirk Gibson gave us a home run celebration we’ve all imitated. This pinch-hit, walk-off in Game 1 was his only at-bat of the World Series.

Noticed my commentary sheet getting more attention than usual on here :) Keep in mind: - It’s purely for my own use as part of my prep. No one else‘s - Copying & pasting is not learning - My eyes are on the pitch but if I need to glance at it, I know where the info is. 1/2

Every commentator does it differently. Why? Because we all digest information & learn in different ways. There’s no correct way for us all. Only what fits the individual. This has been my way for 40+ years. And why just 1 page? Because we often work in cramped spaces. 2/2

And Ure has added a headed assist, setting up Felix Correia for 2:0. Hard working performance by the Glaswegian tonight. Real Madrid at the Bernabeu next weekend for him & Sevilla.

Had a situation yesterday where a well struck on target shot (by Schalke‘s Gantenbein) went in. Replays later showed a very slight unintentional deflection (off the backside) of his captain Karaman. Goal however officially given to Gantenbein & find this good.

After all, had it gone in off the backside of a defender yet been going in anyway, it would never be an own goal. Right in my view to consider the nature of the goal & credit the player who actually made it happen rather than someone whose involvement was inadvertent.

Looking Ahead: Next Sunday’s Real Madrid vs. Sevilla match will air on over-the-air ABC at 3:00 p.m. ET. It will be LaLiga’s first match on ABC since Elche–Barcelona on Matchday 1, which drew an all-time high U.S. English-language audience for the league (1.0 million).
