Jed's end of season press conference was given with the overconfidence of a man whose team barely accomplished anything. www.pointlessexercise.com/jed-seems-to...

Jed seems to think that was good enough

did anyone on commentary mention that Jayden Daniels shouldn't turn the ball over constantly or is that still funny and he's laughing about it

Freddie Freeman now has 10 go-ahead home runs in his postseason career

Cairo advising Moody, “Maybe try kicking it higher.”

That’s the Jake Moody we’re used to.

Thought the OPI on Loveland in the first half that ended in a FG was really soft as well.
