I mean this with all sincerity... How is it possible that we have technology that allows to communicate with someone on the other side of the world via something that fits in our pocket, cars that can drive themselves, and computers that can form their own thoughts and talk back to us... but it took til 2026 for someone to say "hey, we could solve this stale cereal problem by using those bags that people buy to store stuff in"?

I didn't go into the same detail like Bill does, but the takeaways are obvious. Jason Beck rode Devon Dampier to success at two stops, and has turned a solid offense with lots of upside into an awful one, while torpedoing this season that *SHOULD* have been headed for playoffs

P.P.S. This is about Michigan's offensive coordinator Jason Beck, not MLB.com's @beckjason , who is still an awesome beat writer (tho probably also currently annoyed with Chelsea unable to score on the Spurs)

I am *shocked* that the play call with Bryce didn't work, when he had to stand there for 3 seconds to let the multiple end around fakes that no one buys run by

If Jason Beck isn't fired by December 1, I am giving up my season tickets. I have never been more disgusted with a Michigan football team than I have been with this team - the offense specifically. And I lived through 2008 with RichRod.

YES! Players should sign multi-year deals when they sign coming out of HS, with built-in escalators and incentives. And if a player wants to transfer, the school he's going to has to compensate the school that developed him. This should become the new way in which smaller programs will fund their NIL.

If I were Hilton or Marriott... I would just have a team of people scanning Twitter/Reddit all day for these types of issues, and boost the hell out of the posts to highlight all of the awful experiences. And then chime in with a reminder that you could just book a hotel.

"Multiple CFP contenders..." – at Pleasant Ridge, MI

Outside of the fact that this tweet just wreaks of misogyny, I don't understand the problem. She's on the sideline, actively taking notes on the game, and during a break, asked the coach that WORKS FOR HER a question. 1. As the owner, she's allowed to do pretty much whatever she wants. 2. If she has a question about something, the coach should be able to easily answer who/what/why. If he can't, that says far more about the coach than her. 3. Sheila Ford Hamp (Lions owner) is actively involved in the Lions. And we've seen on social media videos that she will ask questions of her coach and GM. We've never seen her be rude or demeaning, but asking about the thought process and decision-making, things a good boss can and should do.

Given that loss certainly drove many fans to drink, we shouldn't be surprised the players felt the same – at Pleasant Ridge, MI

I don't care if Warde is a lame duck Athletic Director... this football staff needs a shake-up immediately, especially on offense. Jason Beck has created an offensive scheme that is completely incapable of consistently moving the football. He deserves to be fired.

I am 100% in favor of returning to this format. Two wild card teams play a single game elimination game on Monday. Winner advances to play in a best of 7 starting Wednesday (best of 7 vs best of 5 because you have to add games for TV if you're cutting the WC round).

Completely agree with this. The current playoff structure hurts some teams a lot and benefits others – at Pleasant Ridge, MI

So between the Dodgers recent ownership issues, the Protect College Sports Act and now the massive scandal with Man City in the Premier League, I have come to a conclusion. If Major League Baseball wants to maintain some semblance of competitive balance AND avoid the risks of these financial-related cheating scandals... MLB MUST implement a salary cap. I think players need to push for a high floor AND get a comparable share of revenue to what other sports receive and exceeds what they currently get. But as private equity and foreign investors get more heavily involved in professional sports, there's simply no way to avoid the inherent risks that come with it that will poison the competitive integrity if we allow some teams to simply buy their way to titles.

The only surprising thing to me is that this wasn't already happening. Given how things work in the baseball space with Perfect Game and the like, it's been standard operating procedure for at least a decade. – at Pleasant Ridge, MI

When Ohio State lost to Michigan in 2024 for their 2nd loss and STILL made the CFP, we officially lost the value of the regular season. Power conference teams will now get 3rd and even 4th chances. I really cannot believe we spent 40 years moving at a glacial pace to expand the postseason... from bowls only, to the BCS and a single national title game, to a 4 team playoff... and then jumped over the numbers 6 and 8, the ones that made the most sense all along and went right to 12. *SHAKES FIST AT THE SKY* – at Pleasant Ridge, MI
