The best thing about today's College Football Playoff rankings is that the committee is going to be torched no matter what they do - needing to fit Miami, Notre Dame, and Alabama into 2 spots will result in an internet meltdown.

Great W for Syracuse tonight. This is a young team and they’ll be inconsistent this year but you can see Coach Autry has things moving in the right direction.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Pretty sure Drake Maye leads the league in 30+ yard handoffs. There aren't many who can drop it in a bucket like Maye.

Giants are terrible, but they're feisty, at least. Good test for the Pats tonight.
And those Patriots red throwbacks are among the best NFL throwbacks. I wish they'd either go back to them or rebrand. Time for Elvis to go.

Syracuse going to OT with the #3 team in the country tonight is a very good sign this basketball team is finally headed in the right direction after far too many years being sub-mediocre.
Also, they should never not wear these jerseys.

T is for TICKS
A ★★½ review of Ticks (1993)
A totally solid and enjoyable '90s nature runs amok horror film in which a bunch of troubled teens go into the woods, fight mutated ticks, and they all survive. Jokes. They kill the black kid. And his dog. His fucking dog. Keanu Reeves watches his dog get killed and burns the world to the ground with bullets. Alfonso Ribeiro watches his dog get killed and he ... gets infested with mutated ticks, gets shot by some white shitbirds, gets mauled by more ticks, and gets split in half as a giant tick ruptures his body from the inside out. JFC.

The 9th inning!
Game-tying HR from just about the last guy you'd expect.
Bases loaded, 1 out, and no runs in despite a razor-thin play at the plate and then an outfield collision on a deep fly ball.
What a brilliant World Series this has been!

Not even thru 4 and Game 7 has been spicy.
Bichette can't score on the single, so next time up he drills one out of the park.
2 run saving catches from Varsho and Vladi.
Giménez tries to lean his hand into a pitch, then gets all salty when he gets drilled on the next pitch.
Drama!
