Nolan Ryan’s arm was so damaged by the first 5000 innings of his career he was only able to strike out 16 Blue Jays when he no-hit them at age 44. It’s a cautionary tale for all young pitchers.

There are a lot of great Boomers out there. But they didn't build this country into a superpower. They brought us the sexual revolution and the divorce epidemic and mass migration, and plunged the country into trillions of dollars of debt in the process. They will leave the country much poorer and less stable than it was when they inherited it. That's just a fact.

Collinsworth- “Man how about these Flock cameras? I’m glad they didn’t have those in November of 1986. I hit a guy with my Buick outside of Portland. It was pouring rain. I never saw him. Still don’t know if he lived.”
Tirico- “Goff’s pass is incomplete.”

LSU was supposedly great because they blew out Clemson. That's the same Clemson who is 64th in FPI efficiency with the 109th ranked offense in college football. By the transitive property, Ole Miss was supposedly great because they beat LSU at home.
Florida was supposedly great because they handily beat Ole Miss (42nd in FPI Efficiency) at home, and Florida got talked about as a likely playoff team by a bunch of pundits.
Missouri will now get sunshine-pumped in the polls because they blew out Florida at home - the same Florida that is 77th in FPI defensive efficiency.
(By the way - Florida's chances of making the playoff are now lower than Nebraska or Northwestern. I have a sneaking suspicion that won't be brought up by very many people)
Alabama's offensive dominance has been racked up against the 30th, 35th, 44th, 82nd, and 91st rated defenses.
Kentucky's two SEC wins are by a total of 11 points against the 40th and 57th teams in FPI efficiency.
Baylor beat Arizona State on the road by a bigger margin than Texas A&M beat Arizona State at home.
Nobody launders overrated wins into undeserved AP votes quite like the SEC.

Minnesota beat Michigan earlier today, and this might the best postgame locker room video I've ever seen 😲😲

And when this one finally comes, you fucking crush it with your kids looking on.
Imagine what that feels like.
There are a lot of ways to teach your children to keep going.
Letting them watch you do it has to be one of the best.
Absolute legend! 🫡

Don’t listen to any clowns who try to tell you there’s a P2 and G8…
Still clearly a P4, but the SEC/Big10 megaphones are bigger and more plentiful than the Big12/ACC’s
And the Big12/ACC are keeping it competitive on the field without the huge financial advantages of SEC/Big10 schools
Fornelli Ratings thru Week 4. Please read the explanation. Or don't. Honestly, I won't see your angry replies anyway.

College gameday in a nutshell:
“Ohio state is good
“Michigan is good”
“Notre dame is good”
*SEC talk for about a whole hour*
“Here are some teams from the big12, I guess”
“What is better? SEC or big10?”
-Pat mcafee takes his shirt off
-Kirk’s dog shows up
The end.
