Going for six straight.
Stu’s Notes: The Air Raid? At Wisconsin?!
This feels inappropriate. Also: the Knicks had a mole, Joe Mixon had a quote, Bears fans had an idea, Javy Báez had a double, NASCAR has a docuseries, and a little more info on the Cuban Little League coach.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, August 22nd
Look West.
Joe’s Notes: Does the NFL Make Other Sports Hate Each Other?
The NFL’s dominance of sports appetite creates an illusion of starvation elsewhere. Also: Wander Franco’s latest, Luis Castillo’s fastballs, the White Sox might move, college baseball’s rising, Drew Smyly’s starting, Jirehl Brock’s leaving, Rutgers gambled on Jeremiah Williams, and some NASCAR game theory.
Today’s Best Bet: Monday, August 21st
The Mariners and Brewers weren’t the only ones who swept the weekend.
Stu’s Notes: Jim Harbaugh Is Suspending Himself
Also: A new hawk at Saint Joe’s, a new court at Alden-Hebron, a new haircut for our dog, and plenty to talk about with Gunnar Henderson, Joe Kelly, Javy Báez, and Little League Baseball.
Joe’s Notes: The Astros Are in Two Places at Once
Contending is hard to do while rebuilding. Also: The Cubs, the Packers, Djokovic v. Alcaraz, Spain’s soccer coach, and a little Little League.
Good Things Shrewing: Notre Dame vs. Navy – Something Sacred
In a sport full of tumult, a rivalry of respect continues.
Julio Rodríguez on Fire, Aaron Boone on Thin Ice: This MLB Weekend and the Week Ahead
A lot of movement in the playoff picture.
One of the Cuban Little League Coaches Disappeared
It happened.
Today’s Best Bet: Sunday, August 20th
Doing something weird.
Today’s Best Bet: Saturday, August 19th
Getting creative.
Stu’s Notes: What If the Cuban Little Leaguers Defect?
The drama we could get here…
Joe’s Notes: The Yankees’ Brian Cashman Question
The Yankees’ future looks unusually dim. That’s a bigger problem than their present.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, August 18th
What’s the read on the Rays?
Bobby Witt Jr. Is Hot, the Dodgers Keep Rolling: This Week in Baseball, and the Weekend Ahead
The playoff margins are getting tight.
Joe’s Notes: We Keep Learning More About the Pac-12’s Dysfunction
This was everybody’s fault.

That was cool.
