A hero and two flaccid sacks of crap sandwiching the worst person in your college history discussion section.

1-score losses against Penn State, Texas A&M and Minnesota the past two years. Beat Georgia Tech.

Every once in a while, I check in and notice that my professional Facebook page auto responds politely to the bots trying to scam me. Who says civility is dead?

NIMARI MF BURNETT

And no the car did not become warped over the past 15 years. that’s actually how they designed it.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

If I’m ever a billionaire I promise to confine my megalomania to college athletics

Everyone is going to buy this...or no one.

“I would prefer you use my full name. I want these bastards to know it was me.” A soon-to-be former NIH official takes the gloves off:

Today was my first day at Top Speed. Can find my archive here. www.topspeed.com/author/ty-du...

Favorite unresolved sports mystery: Why do MSU football coaches end up with Izzo leather jackets? Does Izzo give them as gifts? Do their wives think Izzo looks good in his? Do they subconsciously want to emulate him?

Guess we know who the next James Bond is going to be

Just build a VW Golf ffs

Toughest 3-point loss to Michigan in Columbus since...hahahahahahaha.

Auto and tech journalists when political journalists finally realize that Elon doesn't cooperate at all with media or subject himself to any public scrutiny.

Have people looked at how much combustion cars cost, lately? Find a good option for under $25,000.

Oh. My. God.

SNOWPOCALYPSE 2025 dropped 3, maybe 4 inches. When I was a youth that would have been "Thursday in February, leave a few minutes earlier for school"

I think this overstates the degree to which Tesla's actual business fundamentals relate to the stock price. But it's not a bad thought. slate.com/business/202...

Finally found the start of the second half of Mich-Purdue on Peacock...after sitting through five minute-long ads.

Next youth who tries to post one of those "give me some life advice, olds" memes to go viral is getting an exegesis about the optimal layering of anti-acids.

TFW when you finally get to wake up and have a cup of coffee in peace but only because a 7:15 pm indoor soccer game led to your kids still being awake at 10 pm and there's no point in waking them yet because a power outage closed school.

Haven’t looked in a while but Fiat was all but giving these things away

You need to be a big relatable personality (Bradshaw) or a clear, insightful communicator to normals (Klatt). Madden was the gold standard and did both outstandingly. Brady can't do either.

Extra painful with the blatant travel

This isn't a power play. It's a deeply sad, insecure little man who desperately wants to be respected by the elite society he has been trying to join his entire life and is lashing out because he never will despite being president. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

Damn it. I was going to do this one, but I thought it was too dumb.

Kids have a half day. Their favorite restaurant is a brewery. Would be rude not to get a midday beer, right?

Touch ID is great...until you get a paper cut that requires a bandaid on your right index finger

Should be added to the owners manual of Hyundai E-GMP cars to give the charging door a light punch in cold weather to crack the ice and free it to open.

Will Toyota Ever Build Its Electric Tacoma? Here's What We Know open.substack.com/pub/sportsca...

The reporter on this piece is Katie Strang, as good a sports investigative reporter as we’ve ever seen in sports journalism.

Oh, Elon's going to run the U.S. government like Twitter, you say? www.cnn.com/2024/10/02/b...

I'll believe the robots when he starts taking $50,000 deposits.

Balmy 37 degrees in SE Mich today. Lots of light jackets. Multiple shorts sightings. Expecting at least one shirtless runner when it eclipses 40 tomorrow.

Can President Musk be sued while he is in office? This Federalist Society judge doesn’t think so.

Not too surprised. Wonder how it would have done if you just slapped an Audi badge on it. www.autonews.com/volkswagen/a...
