College football coaches have come out in favor of ending conference title games, starting the playoff earlier so we finish the season by the second Monday in January, and support an expanded playoff, likely 24 teams. Honestly, I think they are on the right track here.
The flag that Rick Monday rescued 50 years ago today is headed to Cooperstown!
OTD in 1976, Monday, a Cubs outfielder and veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, grabbed an American flag from two protesters who had run onto the field at Dodger Stadium and attempted to burn it.
Monday, the longtime Dodgers broadcaster who played 19 years in the Major Leagues, was a two-time All-Star and a World Series champion, has often been asked about the moment.
“If that’s all you’re ever remembered for, that’s not a bad thing at all,” Monday told MLB Network in 2016.
Monday still owns the flag and it will be on loan to the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration. In addition, Monday will be honored on July 25 during induction weekend.
Top of the hour. No better place to be right now than right here. Dodger Stadium on Jackie Robinson Day with Ron Darling and Orel Hershiser on @espn Dodgers and Mets. Ohtani pitching!! Let’s go.
Absolutely true. It’s hilarious but also sad - by the time he’s ten you’re going to see the “most talented” kids leave little league to play travel because those same parents believe it will help little Billy get to the highest level, nevermind the fun/community/life lessons involved in little league.
I’ve sat thru 2 Super Mario movies w/o an appearance or even a mention of my favorite character.
I’ve raced with this man. I’ve golfed with this man. I’ve bled with this man.
Blow on the cartridge and get this right, @NintendoAmerica Also, Danny McBride should voice him.
Now we have to wait 201 days until college football begins Aug. 29 🥲
Hawaii at Stanford
Memphis at UNLV
NC State-Virginia (Rio de Janeiro)
New Mexico State at Florida State
TCU-UNC (Dublin)
So when the MVP arguments are had. This tape should end that discussion. Stafford out on a master class against this same defense that Maye has 18 yards against currently with 7:34 left in the 3rd Q.
He has had a great season and will have an MVP in his future but it was Stafford year.
Sam Darnold now has more Super Bowls than the four teams that let him go in the last 32 years. I’m too emotional to even go on camera or twitter right now.
