@garrett_TFE Woman Walking in an Exotic Forest, by Henri Rousseau, 1905, @garrett_TFE

[Mike Greenberg @Espngreeny]

This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today.

I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life.

He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.”

He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said.

“Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.”

And, just like that, he started walking again.

Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since.

RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.

“For all the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them and go get them, because our country loves sports and it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that…you saw it in Team USA Hockey”

What a signoff from Tirico just now🇺🇸

I’m not joking when I say, that was the silkiest sequence of hockey I’ve ever seen.

Just straight FILTH.

Missouri is the reason the SEC is a rankings ponzi-scheme.

They beat absolutely no one, and undeservedly get ranked all year. Every SEC team that beats them gets to claim a great win. They lose a bowl game they claim didn't matter. Get hyped for next season. Repeat scheme.

Dads: a simple reframe that has helped me actually want to play with my kids more:

There is going to be a last time that they ever ask me to play together, I won't know when that will be, and that I'll desperately wish for it again once it's past.

Life is brief. Truly savor it.

Dating back to 2014 when the CFP was created, 86 of 88 conf champ game losers were moved down in the rankings after. 2022 TCU and 2025 Alabama were the exception. 2022 TCU was 12-0 and stayed in 3rd place after a conf champ loss. That’s it. That’s the list. @JohnDBrice1

[Tim Rooney @Tim_rooney21]

We're getting so, so close to the solution of not playing them.

[Trevor Matich @TMatich]

The committee shouldn't downgrade losers of conference championship games. Instead, should treat them as if they never played.

Right now, you have #9 Bama losing to #3 Georgia while #12 Miami didn't play this weekend.

It's possible that Bama will move to #11, and Miami will join #10 Notre Dame in the playoff.

Hopefully, the committee will keep Bama in, and decide between Miami and Notre Dame for the final at-large bid. Gotta protect the integrity of the conf champ process.

@__whatley__ @Andrew_Ferrelli Calling a matchup with Eastern Illinois a "game" is kinda a stretch, though.

[Tim Rooney @Tim_rooney21]

Correct, conference championship games are stupid and should go away.

[Pete Fiutak @PeteFiutak]

Look, everyone, I don’t like this either, but if Alabama loses today and drops out of the College Football Playoff, the means future teams on a CFP bubble should opt out of conference championship games.
