The Backup Plan
As of this writing Yoshinobu Yamamoto has yet to be signed by a team, and while it's being reported that as many as five teams have made offers north of $300 million dollars, and he will sign this week, we are also watching the fallout in New York. This is the first time that Steve Cohen and his huge bank account will be in the pursuit of the same free agent as the Evil Empire and Hal Steinbrenner.

Travesty Strikes College Football
This Sunday afternoon changed the course of College Football forever, and the dominos continue to fall.

Beginning in 2024 there will be an expanded playoff format, as well as key teams moving to new conferences, and by all accounts the end of the Pac 12 as well. All of this should have been enough to make us say that nothing will be the same for college football fans, but this selection committee also gave us a game changing decision.
