Pro reader and writer. Infinitely fortunate father of three who outkicked his coverage, benefiting from a wife who was willing to call for a fair catch.
No dog in the fight at @TheMasters? You'll want to back this former @ISURedbirds hoops sniper, a 39-year-old realtor who describes himself as the "old, fat guy" in the field at Augusta. What an epic few days down in Georgia for the Holtz Family.

Former @ISURedbirds basketball player Brandon Holtz, 39, won a Mid-Am in Arizona to qualify for the @TheMasters. Played with @TommyFleetwood1@JordanSpieth this week. Thursday at Augusta his group includes 2-time Masters champ @bubbawatson and with dad, Jeff, as caddie.
CALLED GAME.
1A sectional title between rivals Tremont and Dee-Mack tied with seconds left.
Miller Reynolds finds Andrew Dawson under the basket for the game winner.
@TremontHSBBB advances to super-sectionals, 47-45
@ChicagoBears have a three-game winning streak for the second season in a row. The last time they won four consecutive games was under Matt Nagy in 2018. The three-game streak in 2024 ended with a loss at Washington, the first in a string of 10 defeats in a row. @Saints up next.
Titans would love to return to the days when the biggest controversy in the organization was whether Mike Vrabel's kid was on the can during the COVID draft live TV shot. Vrabel makes his Nashville return Sunday with the Patriots as his replacement is shown the door.
John Schneider joined Seahawks (from GB) nine days before Eagles named 34-year-old Howie Roseman GM in 2010. Anomalies as NFL GMs granted new life in post-Lombardi Trophy rebuilds. Roseman just did it again. Seattle rolls dice on Schneider's latest hard reset being Super.
It's 30 miles and 80-90 mins in traffic to Arlington Heights racecourse site, where the Bears say they're focused on building their new stadium given recent progress. By comparison, ~40 miles from Chicago due E to New Buffalo MI, crossing Lake Michigan.
Why did #Jaguars go get Travis Hunter? GM James Gladstone: There are players who have capacity to alter a game. There are players who have the capacity to alter the trajectory of the team. There are very few players with the capacity to alter the trajectory of the sport itself.
Michael Penix Energy with this Jaxson Dart top 10 conversation. Once displaced by '24 No. 1 pick Caleb Williams at USC, averaged 10.8 ypc at Ole Miss, led SEC in passing last season. No one projected Dart No. 9 to Saints. Giants also interested. Penix surprise at 8 to ATL in '24
Thomas Dimitroff, former Falcons GM (2008-2020), interviewed with Jets. Phil Savage, interim GM, knows Dimitroff from their 1990s overlap with Browns. Savage was an intern when Bill Belichick hired him. Then BB hired Dimitroff -- away from the CFL -- for a grounds crew gig.
Spread some deserved good word about Bobby Wagner in your NFL convos this weekend. @Bwagz is criminally overlooked outside of Seattle/NFC West. Now playing for old SEA DC Dan Quinn in Washington, Wagner has 104 tkls in '24 -- and 100+ tackles in 13 straight seasons.
Matt Eberflus survived Black Monday and appears to be safe as Bears head coach on Black Friday, too.
"I'm confident that I’ll be working on to San Francisco and getting ready for that game," Eberflus said Friday. He beat the 49ers in his debut 19-10 in 2022 but is 13-32 since
Dusty Stromer (Gonzaga) and @FieldLevelMedia's 50 (and then some) breakout candidates lived up to the billing in the Bulldogs' beatdown of Baylor on Monday. Owen Freeman (Iowa) did some things. And get your Jeland Lowe (Pitt) stock ASAP.

The last three-game winning streak for the Bears? Dec. 2020, capped with a win over the Jaguars that was led by Mitchell Trubisky, David Montgomery and Allen Robinson. Chicago scored 110 total points in consecutive wins over HOU, MIN, JAX.
MLB teams should be forced to cap premium ticket price dollar amount at the number of wins achieved the previous season. White Sox sitting on 29, or $29, as of today.
