So I saw Big T’s game recap titled “Ryan Day and Ohio State Successfully Avoided Becoming the Most Embarrassing Story in College Football History” and I’d like to give him the award for the Most Biased Postgame Recap in Barstool history. The only takeaway from that game should be that Tennessee fans should issue a public apology for pumping their chests out all week talking about how they were going to “Invade Ohio” only to leave before the end of the 3rd Quarter!...

But that’s the beauty of the champs. When it comes to immediately righting the ship and getting back on track, few teams do it better. So far this season, the Celts are 6-0 following a loss. Not a single back to back loss stretch on their schedule through 28 games. Last season, the Celts lost back to back games just 4 times in 100+ games. Which is why a team performance like last night was the least surprising thing of all time....

Stool Scenes 485 - On this week’s episode of Stool Scenes, the entire office does secret Santa.

Childhood heroes seem immortal. Their abilities seemed limitless. It’s horrible reminder that there is no such thing as immortality. It’s also a reminder that those greats were also human beings just like you and I. It makes their accomplishments somehow even greater. Henderson holds the most important single record in all of baseball. It’s not being all the all-time stolen base leader. Watching Rickey Henderson was like watching Michael Jordan dunk....

The Hoosiers have crushed my spirt yet again. Sucks I chose this life on a Saturday filled with ball, but the line has been drawn. If only Indiana played better on offense, defense, and special teams … I think they would have beat Notre Dame. These people had their minds made up before kickoff. Hey … ever heard of a team called Notre Dame? They get hyped up EVERY. and for the last 25 years they have shit the bed in every big game....

Other than that I’m far from an expert. The particular brand of food twitter that’s always amazed me has been “steak twitter”. People seriously care about fucking steak in this country. Every year around this time, my friends and I get together for a “gentlemen’s dinner”. This year I did our first gentlemen’s dinner at Tre Dita and it was outstanding. Then for the second one, we did Bavette’s this past Tuesday night....

ESPN does a whole lot of things wrong. SportsCenter is the prime example of that. But even debate shows like First Take have fallen off drastically. Stephen A. Smith vs Skip Bayless debating LeBron James was at one point appointment television. Even guys like Pat McAfee. The minute Pat McAfee goes to ESPN, his show gets a little bit worse. Pretty much everything at ESPN is at minimum a slightly worse version of what it used to be....

I don’t even know what to say anymore. A fumble clear as day. But the refs of course threw a flag, got together, and called roughing the passer. Then there was this very aggressive flag on Houston. The refs confer together, figure out something they can call on the defense. and negate the play. Then we had this. If anything, that’s defensive holding on Nazeeh Johnson no? Meanwhile, Dell gets mugged on this play downfield, and nothing....

What a fucking marathon of a day. Just an unreal addition to the team. Could seriously sit there for hours and listen to him just tell stories. Nicest guy ever too. Neither of themlovedit, but they didn’t hate it either. Actually, Gruden kind of did. He jokingly said, “Sure, why not play on Saturday too? Play on Tuesdays and Wednesdays too while you’re at it.” Well I fucking love it....

Jacob Trouba was a disaster of a defenseman, so they shipped him off to Anaheim. Kaapo Kakko couldn’t even develop a roll of film, so they shipped him off to Seattle. Igor Shesterkin held the Rangers hostage for a $92 million contract, and then turned into Ilya Bryzgalov. I don’t think people are fully comprehending what a generational run we’re seeing out of this guy. This is as throwback as it gets....

Henderson would have turned 66 on Christmas Day. The family is expected to make an announcement later in the day. Henderson had been in the hospital battling pneumonia, a source told the Bay Area News Group. He was enshrined into the Hall of Fame in 2009, his first year of eligibility. My favorite hero was Muhammad Ali, Henderson said during his induction speech in Cooperstown, New York. He said one time, quote, I am the greatest, end of quote....

But even with that knowledge, what the Hoosiers showed on Friday night was unbelievable. The final score does not do any sort of justice to what that game looked like. I’d be ashamed to go into 2025 with that guy if I was an Indiana fan. At the end of the day, what we watched in South Bend was not Indiana’s fault.
