It’s Harlem Globetrotter baseball. Not my cup of tea and don’t understand the allure, but to each their own.

Oh I’m not digging my heels into anything. I have no dog in the Penn State race. I’m just spitballing. RE Harbaugh, you’re not wrong. But I think the brass in A2 knew what they were signing up for when they courted him. And they got what they bargained for.

Finding one with seating is a challenge though! Sea of Honolulu Blue though, I agree.

They escape with a win thanks to Browns ineptitude but I would be very worried if I were a Vikings fan. This doesn’t look like a playoff team.

The Vikings look horrible, particularly on offense. Just completely lost.

That Cleveland D-line is giving him fits. Really remarkable performance last week by the Lions OL and Goff.

I agree, but ignoring what Franklin did to that program isn't right either. The NCAA blows the whole thing up (rightfully so) in 2011. You get two years of mediocrity under Bill O'Brien before Franklin comes in, still under a cloud of a postseason ban and scholarship restrictions (remember when those were a thing?). To buddha's point, they could have easily become Nebraska right then and there. Or worse, SMU. They were on about as thin of ice as possible not just with the NCAA, but with society. National news covered Penn State students protesting the removal of a statute honoring a man who covered up child sexual abuse. It was as ugly as it gets in Happy Valley. There were serious talks in 2011 about kicking them out of the Big Ten! Instead of relegating to irrelevancy though, he's gone 104-42. And while yes, it seems like they are just stuck as the #15 team in the country, perpetually unable to beat teams above their weight class, there are far worse places to be. To counter my own point though, Mark Richt went 145-51 in 15 seasons at Georgia but never won the Natty. They made the move to Kirby Smart and he's won two in nine years. So sometimes you do need to make that change to put yourself over the edge. I just think you're just as likely to put a Luke Fickell, Hugh Freeze, Matt Rhule, or Lane Kiffin in charge, and set your program back 5-10 years.

He's got a lot of pressure, but I think Seattle has more. They saw no hits yesterday from 4-1 in the lineup. If the Tigers can manage to put two runs on the board early (probably not, I know), we may see Ms fans get restless and Ms coaching and players get a little desperate.

Will Burchfield hinted at this on 97.1 on Friday. He made it sound like load management, wanting to keep him at a high level for the stretch run. I fear if this is just a chronic issue, this may be Deck's last NFL season, similar to Ragnow. I didn't hear it until I was on the way to Cincy though or I would have brought my Manu jersey! Big ask for his first NFL start, but I can't imagine they would do it if they didn't think he could handle it.

This game doesn’t go 11 if he doesn’t make that double play. That was a hell of a play.

Feels like at least in extras Seattle swung for the fences and Detroit swung for the single. Made the difference. The offense may not be splashy but if it works it works. 0.5(Bert) for the win!

Feels like he got lucky with multiple pitches. But that’s baseball. Seattle got lucky in the 9th with Muñoz

At least the NFL was kind enough to schedule the Lions for 4:25 tomorrow. Watched this one from the Cincinnati hotel. Probably got a noise complaint or two.

Why these bitches on the postgame? **** you Ortiz, this is Tiger country..

That’s such a massive win.

Never a doubt, NEVER a doubt.

WOOOOOO

FINISHHHHHHHH THEMMMMMMMM

Most Valuable WHIMP

Two more.

Keep it down Keider. Nothing to drive.

Feels like Seattle’s schtick is swinging for the fences. For the love of God do not give them anything they can drive.

It’s just three outs. Should be easy. Right? 🫣

Seattle has the top of the order up. McKinstry’s run means a ton.

That’s some BABIP karma if I’ve ever seen some.
