0:00 - As reported by Ari Meirov yesterday, Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby "admitted to wagering at least $90,000 across more than 9,000 bets during his college career, including bets involving Indiana football while he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022." A judge ruled he has to serve a 2-game suspension, then he can play college football for the rest of the 2026 season. That's insane.Already, multiple teams around the Big 12 are saying they'll refuse to play Texas Tech if the ruling stands. The Big 12 commissioner has a sticky situation on his hands. This is going to get worse before it gets better.15:09 - Sean Payton loves him some Jaylen Waddle. Jaleel McLaughlin loves him some Jaylen Waddle. Garret Bolles loves him some Jaylen Waddle!

Huh?

This will set a horrible precedent if it stands.31:06 - Oh, by the way...Cleveland Guardians radio PxP voice Tom Hamilton took a hilarious swipe at Jazz Chisholm during a broadcast. What's a "good" batting average these days? Is .300 still the gold standard?Oh, by the way...Jacob "The Miz" Misiorowski was throwing FIRE for the Brew Crew at Coors Field this weekend.
