Since the Department of Education has seen fit to rule on NIL funds for colleges - that they must equally go to male and female athletes per Title XI - maybe they can rule if a transgender athlete qualifies for female scholarships too? Dept of Ed violating the first rule of holes since they were founded.

- Reconsidering the spiral. Its given me some new thoughts.
- Hamas achieves Pyrrhic victory with ceasefire agreement. I can see why Israel would release the 1,300 terrorists with the thought "we caught them once - we'll catch or kill them again."
- David Lynch dead at 78-years old. I thought the director was timeless and would live forever. Still not a fan of Eraserhead.
- Sadly also passing is Bob Uecker aged 90. Another one I though would live forever.

I did not watch Joe Biden's farewell address last night. I had no interest and assumed it was pre-recorded because he can't be trusted to be consistent enough to give a live speech. There's been much speculation that it was taped and I've yet to hear of anything outside his normal inflated claims to be doing a great job in his speech. Not sorry I watched an old episode of Band of Brothers instead.

Was really tired last night so went to bed after the 2nd period of the Bruins game with Boston beating the Lightning 4-2. But then I woke up really early and now I know I'll have to take a nap this morning to get some semblance of normality back to my circadian rhythm.

Nobody in the NFL has been a bigger loser than Sam Danold these past two weeks. He was inept against the Lions last week and last night saw his team fall to the Rams 27-9. He's literally transformed back into a pumpkin these past two weeks probably costing himself tens of millions in the process. Would anyone be surprised if Minnesota moves on from him as QB now?

So with Mike Vrabel being named the New England head coach - does that make Jarod Mayo the new ML Carr? Older Boston sports fans will get that reference.

Yesterday saw the first playoff action in the NFL's postseason. The favored Chargers lost convincibly to the Texans and the Ravens simply outclassed the Steelers. I lost interest in the Baltimore game when they were up 21-0 and as far as the earlier game - I can't shake the feeling the Justin Herbert may be wildly overrated. I mean he keeps having Tua-type results without the blame. Think it would be interesting to compare those two QB's taken in the same draft.

Last night Ohio State beat Texas 28-14 to move on to the college football championship where they'll play Notre Dame. It wasn't as big a mismatch as the score might indicate but sadly I fell asleep during the second half. Must have closed my eyes during a commercial break and woke up to post game interviews. The Buckeyes are currently a huge 9.5 point favorite over the Fighting Irish.
