In November, Donald Trump won the presidency with 49.8 percent of the popular vote. That was up three percentage points from his 2020 loss to Joe Biden, and 3.7 more than his win over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Like or dislike him, more than 214.5 million votes were cast for him in the last three elections, during which he has only gained support at the ballot box. Those are amazing numbers, an unprecedented demonstration of notoriety for political candidates.

Armpits deep in a euphoric celebration, Ed Sirianni had just two goals in mind. Find footing on top of the wall behind the goal posts, and lift the sign he made just in case his beloved Penn State football team accomplished what no team had ever been able to before. It read: “Jesus Saves … But Not Today.” One click of a photographer’s shutter captured the moment and immortalized both the Schuylkill County resident and a budding rivalry between two college football powerhouses on Nov. 13, 1982.

There’s a college football game being played Thursday night, and it’s going to be big. One program will become the first in the sport’s expanded playoff era to earn a spot in the 12-team tournament’s National Championship Game on Jan. 20 in Atlanta. Another will fall painfully short of that dream. Fans will watch intently from New York City to Los Angeles, from the North’s tundra to the Deep South. Certainly, it will be intense in Miami Gardens, Florida, too.

If anyone is turning that program around, it’s Becky Burke. A winner everywhere she has ever been, from Abington Heights to Louisville, to USC Upstate and Buffalo.

Not the most fundamentally sound Judge performance I’ve ever seen. Also, I kind of don’t see it with Devin Williams. Easy day to say that, of course. But he doesn’t locate a hittable fastball well at all.
Is it just me - I admit it might be and that I’m not privy to some trendy metric every team is using - or are there a lot of runners on third going on contact that shouldn’t be, getting cut off at the plate?
