Making it make sense.

Stu’s Notes: What’s on the Line for Shaka Smart in Maui*
Shaka Smart is undefeated, lifetime, in the Maui Invitational. And he’s never even been to Maui.
Joe’s Notes: Revisiting the Kyle Schwarber Non-Tender
Three years later, it’s non-tender day again. Also: The Packers could make the playoffs, why injury reports exist, and the competitive stakes of F1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Stu’s Notes: Chris Partridge vs. Computer
Also: The A’s run F1, the Cubs care what we think, and Burnley has received justice but it might not help.
Joe’s Notes: The NCAA Didn’t Screw James Madison. Here’s Who Did.
Plus: Coaching changes, Michigan and the B1G cut a deal, the MWC/Pac-2 alliance takes shape, and Justin Steele made a million.
Joe’s Notes: Why the Padres (Evidently) Need to Trade Juan Soto
The second-biggest prize of the MLB offseason. Or so we’re told. Also: Jim Harbaugh’s suspension (?), the Iowa under, Duke vs. Arizona, and a hockey question for the room.

Aaron Rodgers didn’t fake an Achilles tear. But he’s definitely up to something. Also: JMU resembles a certain other Cinderella, Arch Manning Bust Watch returns, and a thought on Thursday weddings.
Joe’s Notes: TCU Might Miss a Bowl, and That Is Good for College Football
Cinderella still exists. Also: Clearing up the JMU bowl situation, the funniest Michigan scenario, Milan Momcilovic’s debut, and the Cubs chase the latest market inefficiency.
Stu’s Notes: Is FAU an NIT Contender?
The Owls have us hooting. Also! UNT raised a banner, Connor Stalions has a strange LLC, the Dodgers might be bankrupt, and the Cubs hired a personal enemy.
