- You need to look at what Caleb Williams had painted on his fingernails for Notre Dame tonight (photo by AP’s Mark Terrill)
- The vibe is “2 Dads Who Disapprove of the Marriage But Have Been Begged Not to Ruin the Special Day”
- So the trained bald eagle flying around Dodger Stadium pregame just flew past its handler, out of the park and didn't come back #Murica
- Replying to @BrianHolidaeThat's not my headline. That word isn't in my story. My stories are syndicated worldwide, and customers are allowed to write their own headlines.
- The USC band is doing a One Piece-themed halftime show, complete with taiko drums on a version of New Genesis. It’s really cool and I’m also guessing there are a lot of utterly baffled alumni in here
- Shohei Ohtani pitches 5 innings of 1-run ball, Mike Trout hits his 40th homer, and the Angels lose their 3rd straight game to the 102-loss Oakland Athletics. Just a cosmically appropriate way to end this particular season of Halos baseball.
- The Rams have now won 8 playoff games in 8 years under Sean McVay. That's the same number of playoff wins this franchise had its previous 31 seasons combined before McVay.
- Dorian Finney-Smith is really happy to join the Lakers. He wants to bring his intensity and winning mentality to LA. He says today was the most he has ever spoken to LeBron despite guarding him for the last 9 years, because DFS doesn’t like to talk to opponents.
- Ayyyy Naomi Osaka repping the Black Mamba while she watches Serena Williams at the US Open
