Marcus Freeman is pretty likable—certainly exceptionally likable compared to his predecessor—but any goodwill Freeman brought to ND has been undone by the words and actions of Pete Becacqua.
It makes Notre Dame look like the sorest of losers and does them no favors.

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua to DP Show on the ACC: "We were mystified by the actions of the conference to attack their biggest partner really in football...They have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame."

I didn’t think it was a touchdown while watching live because the ball was in and out of Likely’s hands so quickly but apparently I’m in the minority.
Regardless, the Ravens still had a 2nd & 10 at the PIT 13 after the reversal and failed to score afterwards.

This was all very real and I still cannot believe it was. I feel like nothing can top this level of insanity but like 72 things have because the world has gone mad.
It was a widespread belief in the online sports community that Damar Hamlin, after collapsing on the field, was cloned before he died, and that his clone was paraded around by shadowy forces (Bill Gates, centrist Democrats) as a massive coverup around the COVID vaccine.
Nothing tops the "Damar Hamlin is a clone" nuttery. Like, do you know how "cloning" works? They believe a fully-formed human was cloned in a month? They never took a lab science class in their life! A "peach tree" dish fell out of a tree and knocked the smart out of their fucking noggin.

Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins both did not get the Covid vaccine, yet both tore their Achilles.
This is absolute garbage from a doctor. Unfreakingreal.

Why did no one ask Pat Narduzzi if he felt the Military Bowl was a slight?
Personally, I thought about it before the Zoom call and decided against it. I didn’t want it to come off as disparaging to the military and it’s awkward when the director of said bowl is on the call.

It’s good to hear the Pirates made an offer to Schwarber, but if he wants a longer deal or more money, they’re just leaking that they’re offering $100 mil over four years knowing it won’t be accepted.
Wow, you made a low-ball offer, congrats?

Pat Narduzzi said he was watching the end of Steelers-Ravens when he found out Pitt was going to the Military Bowl. Should’ve asked him if he thought Likely scored a touchdown. Missed opportunity!

ECU coach Blake Harrell calls Pitt D-line coach Tim Daoust "awesome" and says he's looking forward to seeing Daoust and his family.
Daoust and Harrell were on the same staff at East Carolina before Harrell became HC last year and Daoust came to Pitt ahead of last season.

Pitt basketball has lost two buy games so far this season. The Panthers have a great recruiting class coming in next year, but yikes.

I think DK Metcalf did OK after not attending the meeting at Aaron Rodgers' house last Tuesday. Metcalf reiterated that he meets with Rodgers and Arthur Smith every Tuesday morning.

Penalty on JPJ earlier in the drive comes back to haunt the Steelers. But Baltimore misses the PAT.

The Steelers will be without Darnell Washington and Malik Harrison the rest of the way. Both out with concussions.
