Not declaring the Royals dead yet, but it might be time to start pricing out caskets and tombstones
Erceg has to keep that game tied. Bad luck for sure but you’re more subject to that when you don’t strike guys out and Erceg has gone from elite at doing that to well below average at doing it this season.
Lucas Erceg proving the hard way that there is no such thing as a ‘shutdown’ reliever who doesn’t miss bats
I’m a fan of a lot of what the Big 12 has done to market itself and tell its story but begging for more play on “Barstool Bradeynn and the Parlay Slut” or whatever other unlistenable podcasts for perverts they run over there is a horrendous look
There has never been a better time in American history to be a loud asshole sex creep, and those are critical voices that the Big 12 absolutely has to have in its corner to maintain relevance in today’s modern entertainment landscape
Very critical that the Big 12 make a play for the “douchebag” demographic, they’ve never been more prevalent or powerful
(To be clear, this is not me being a hater, I have always and remain as ever too cheap to pay for the Ticket, but also, I cover a local team for work that’s always on TV and my favorite team is starting Sam Darnold, I wouldn’t pay five cents for it)
Every NFL fan too cheap to pay for the Ticket lowering their team flags to half-mast on this day of mourning
Freeland trading himself for two members of the heart of the Giants order in the first inning - before either of them could hit! - might have been the most valuable thing he’s done for the team in a game in weeks
Freeland’s tired of getting lit up all year and that’s where this game from so it’s an L for him for sure, but he’s also not wrong. Nobody anywhere likes Rafael Devers. Get your ass around the bases. Also shoutout to Yanquiel Fernandez because he looked the most ‘bout it of anybody.

You remember right. It was a full-scale meltdown
He was in the McGee-for-Dickerson trade, which for the Rockies' purposes really goes down as the German Marquez trade
Let’s remember some Rockies prospects that never made it to the Show with the team, with the best of those players rounding out the grid bottom right
Hey, Jordon did a great job with that balloon arrangement, making her the only person affiliated with North Carolina football who did her job last night

The home/road splits are a trip, this is entirely a Coors thing and a product of an organization that’s acted scared of it ever since the 2019 season broke their brains
Just one more tunnel screen, bro, just let me call one more tunnel screen for CJ Carr, it’s gonna get him into a rhythm, bro, I promise
Notre Dame-Miami is precisely as stupid as I would have expected it would be
Nyck Harbor is one of one. You can either be that big or that fast but you ain’t supposed to be both
There is a well-meaning but entirely clueless spouse, child, or parent behind this, and I’d love to hear the oral history of the day this guy received this

I kind of thought K-State was going to have to just survive one of their first two home games. Figured it would be likelier to be the Army game. North Dakota bullied K-State. This is a program in need of some soul-searching, and possibly a kick in the ass.
That was a big boy drive led by Avery Johnson, there. Big throws and a big run
K-State way too light in the ass on defense.
If the score weren’t on the screen and you’d turned the game on at the start of the second half this would be exactly the way you would have expected K-State to look
K-State is an undisciplined football team and they don’t seem to know how to use their quarterback but other than that things are great
There’s an alternate universe where Avery’s allowed to do spread-and-shred stuff, and I wish we lived in that universe
Avery Johnson… I’m not sure, man. I was anticipating being more sure than I am. A lot more sure.
That is not a real crisp-looking football team in Manhattan tonight wearing those white uniforms
I hope Kalen DeBoer rented
OK Arch was diming it up on that drive
I wonder if he introduces himself by saying “First things first, I’m Da’Realyst”
Oh man Arch might STINK stink
Have there been more Arch Manning commercials or Arch Manning completions in this first half so far?
Arch looks pretty shook to me
The new ‘Limu Emu and Doug’ commercial is very, very funny, I regret to say
Schtick is wonderful when it’s authentic because then it’s not really schtick. Corso was as real as steel, to the very last. Authenticity is dead. McAfee is a clown, a pro wrestler looking for cheap heat. Nothing authentic about him in the least. I have no use for that
Saw Corso put on the headgear in what will be the last moment of a college football pregame show on TV I will watch ever again, probably
Hit one of the great 7-irons of my life and jarred a 10 foot putt for birdie on 18 playing golf with my dad this morning. Please do not ask any questions about the first 17 holes. After all, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
Not because those two teams were contenders, mind you, it’s about perception
Between that CU loss and Baylor getting rolled at home by a mid-table SEC team on big FOX, the Big 12’s hopes of having multiple playoff teams are taking a significant hit before the first full Saturday of the season
Hope Prime got that Depend sponsorship for the entire coaching staff because Pat Shurmur absolutely shit his entire ass on that last drive
Everyone involved with this final CU drive had their brains replaced with a scoop of mashed potatoes. Lumpy ones with no seasoning
I love Georgia Tech’s QB run game stuff - so creative on that drive and all night and King is a capital-H Hoss
CU being +3 in turnovers and -3 on the scoreboard is decidedly not what you want
Seth Lugo since signing his extension

If you're a Cowboys fan you gotta be swearing off football until Jerry's eternal dirt nap, right? Like, this is who you are, and who you've been for 30 years, and who you'll continue to be - why bother?

Boy all those NFL 'Rivalries' uniforms are ASS, one of the worst ideas in the history of uniform design, up there with the worst of the MLB City Connects
*reads smudged ink on palm of hand* uh, I think this says they lost to Gumby
What a rally by the Royals in the ninth - they did diddly-squat for the first 16 innings in this series and now all of a sudden it’s a line drive machine

The 'indifference to running' both could not have been more obvious and could not be any more relatable
Him forgetting that he's supposed to hate her might be the most damning evidence of mental decline we have yet

Going on 15 years doing some form of sports talk professionally every day, and none of my sports takes are going to age worse than my “the Kelce/Swift relationship is a PR stunt” take, and I don’t know how to feel about that
Well, looks like I have a new 3pm A block today
Silver lining - the inevitable Noah Cameron regression start is coming in a game where his team can’t score anyway (The cloud - it’s the freaking White Sox)

This had more to do with why Shedeur dropped in the draft (and why, ultimately, he was lucky he got drafted at all) than anything related to his ability as a player. Stefanski has the patience of Job to have dignified this nonsense with an answer longer than one word
Wouldn't it be easier to just call Archer Love 'Cupid' instead?
I took this picture for my pals who are Broncos fans. Don’t say I never did anything for you

The 'too small' at the end is KILLING me
This is the time of year, when I am watching/at my first football games, when having the Rockies score pop up on my lock screen on my phone begins to feel like harassment
Aqib Talib is at the Booth today, so it's a good thing I left all my expensive neckwear at home
Jalon Daniels looks spry.
Po Mama got me convulsing
It’s a little different than I remember it being the last time I was here in 2019.
Normal cat doing normal things
And K-State did a lot of really good stuff today - they are going to be just fine. But they are second-best in this matchup over and over again
This happens every year in this game - usually ISU has the turnover edge too. Those were even and there were somehow zero points off turnovers either way, but… ISU out-executes K-State in these spots and it never changes. It’s a capital-T Thing for Klieman and K-State now, if it wasn’t already.
This is not a fatal loss for K-State by any means, but you hate to use your mulligan off the first tee box
Fourth down is the difference. K-State loses to Iowa State, again, because Iowa State was better on the margins, again
UPDATE: the Big 12 QB Club agenda survives and thrives
Took two and a half quarters but now these QBs look comfortable. Next score wins I think
The Big 12, the best conference of QBs in America, is in the national spotlight for the first game of 2025 and are marking the occasion with both quarterbacks looking like rat ass throwing a soggy ball on a Slip-N-Slide
Of all the first halves of all the college football games and all the college football seasons ever, that was sure as hell one of them
This has been such a disaster for K-State. It’s a miracle this game is tied
Going for it was the right call, not having a blocker for every man in the box was not the right call
A give-up third-and-long run in the first quarter, these coaches know what’s up.
This is gonna be a lower scoring game than Celtic-Rangers
LMAO what a sport, I love college football
K-State will never miss a chance to make a killer mistake against Iowa State. As reliable as the tides
Fantasy football draft at 10, ‘Farm O’Geddon’ at 11, and I’ll be in the brand new press box at the Booth for KU-Fresno State at 5:30. What a glorious day

Carlos Estevez saving big games for a team in the Wild Card hunt. I used to pray for times like this
They do not look like they are a threat to set a new futility record - thank God - and if not setting a new futility record is good enough for the Monfort family to stay the course, they will continue to finish precisely where they deserve to in the standings. Whether we deserve it is another matter
I saw a graphic on a Rockies broadcast not long ago that said they had the second youngest active roster in MLB and I don’t think it’s coincidental that they’re more watchable now. It’s still about the worst starting rotation in history, but there’s a real big league lineup in place if you squint
