So how much longer before college sports completely goes blammo with the legalized gambling?

Not this just-past year, but last year before it, Alabama State HAD won it's first NCAA Tournament game in men's basketball history.

That win will be revoked.

For $500 a person, apparently.

The FBI has contacted the NCAA and stated the 2024-25 team's top three scorers and a reserve were paid $2,000 to throw a game (result and spread) to Southern Mississippi.

How many more before we get the explosion, and we find out that national championships and the like were also thrown?

Well, they couldn't put up with the possibility we might catch them openly...

No "Loudest Manure Chants" or anything like that.

Seven-year referees' CBA announced for the NFL today.

They can't take it over, so they're taking their (golf) ball and going home...

Bye, Saudis...  (And their supporters in the Trump Administration.  Pig.)

LIV Golf is no more at the end of 2026.

Yeah, it's the offseason, but this one at least goes into my wheelhouse a bit...

As the world sets up for the NFL circlejerk known as the Draft, I'm not posting on that today.

I'm posting on a rather obscure game-show incident which has made it to my feeds, it seems.

Ken Jennings, the current host of Jeopardy! and The Greatest of All Time to play it, was asked during a stop-down question-and-answer session whether he deliberately threw the final game of his initial 75-game appearance on the show.

The person who even purported to ask that question could well have been removed from the taping.

Not only is the question ridiculous, and not only does the question actually ask Jennings (who didn't) to admit to a federal crime if he did, but he's now the host of the damn show!

Which would then mean that the taping which was taking place would have to be terminated -- and probably all future tapings as well.

There are a lot of things that I do believe are rigged in this country, including a number of game shows of the last thirty years.

Jeopardy! is not one of them.

Sound Test: Thoughts on the Iran debacle...

I decided to test a new microphone setup.  I'm not going to say this is a GOOD sound test, but a sound test it is.  Kinda learning as I go along.

And this includes that I made one error I was unable to edit because I'm clumsy with sound editing.  What I meant to say on the "three ways out" was that we nuke somebody as the first option. 

Since I'm once again barred from embedding or posting on X for a week, I'll leave a link for you...

I don't think I ever saw magnets being alleged in basketball, but someone just has.

What do you think?

Most of the new rules proposals have been approved.

The only one of the five rules proposals listed below which was not approved today for next season was the "kickoff from the 50 advantage loophole" rule.

This, along with the fact that it now appears the league is preparing for a referee lockout, makes the League Office in New York City the officials of record for 2026-27.
