Just End The Season
An all-timer of a quote from Breece Hall:
Breece Hall asked to sum up the loss, said it’s been the same tale in three of their losses:
“Teams shoot themselves in the foot then we come back and shoot ourselves in the head.

He’s talking about things like this:
The #Jets just fair caught a punt… at the 2-yard line. 🤦♂️
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) September 30, 2025
His reaction is the best part. Dude clearly had no idea where he was. This has been the Jets’ whole season thus far. Everything is just sloppy. And the thing is: the organization isn’t acting like this is a rebuild. This offseason, they signed Brandon Stephens from Baltimore for a decent amount and extended Jamien Sherwood at big money. Both have quite a bit guaranteed. Sherwood is understandable: strong player, homegrown talent, still only 25. Brandon Stephens turns 28 in December and has 2 career interceptions. The Jets gave him a 3-year deal with $23 million guaranteed. They’re not rebuilding and yet, they moved on from Aaron Rodgers to sign Justin Fields to a prove-it contract and he’s proving he’s not it. The 2026 QB class looks like Fernando Mendoza and that’s about it, unless Dante Moore comes out (should play one more year at Oregon, imo). Garrett Nussmeier went into the season as the #1 QB on my board, but has yet to build on what he did last year. If Arch Manning’s name was anything else, he’d have been benched by now. Drew Allar has plenty of physical ability, but has never put it all together and continues to make awful decisions. The Jets already have a guy like that. They could try to trade for Kirk Cousins, I guess?
Anyway, the Jets followed up their loss to the 2nd-worst team in the league by laying an egg against a Cowboys team that everyone’s been lighting up this year. At this point, Terry Glenn has to be thinking about just showing up at the Lions facility and acting like he never took the Jets job.

The CFL announced a series of rule changes. One set will be implemented for the 2026 season, with more added in 2027.
For 2026:
- Teams will have benches on opposite sides of the field in all stadiums. Currently, in some cases, teams are on the same sideline.
- The play clock will change from 20 seconds started by an official to 35 seconds starting immediately at the conclusion of the previous play.
- Missed field goals not retrurned out of the endzone will no longer count as a rouge, nor will punts kicked out of the endzone.
For 2027:
- The field will shorten from 110 yards to 100.
- The endzones will shorten from 20 yards to 15.
- Goalposts will be moved from the front of the endzone to the back.
Putting teams on opposite sidelines is a good change. That one should have been made long ago. I don’t like the change to the play clock, but I need more info on that one to determine how much I don’t like it. The big issue here is the final three minutes. Currently, the game clock and play clock both start once the ball is spotted. Will the game clock still stop to spot the ball? I haven’t seen anything saying it won’t, and if it does still stop, then I don’t mind it *too* much. If the game clock is going to stay moving, we’ve got problems. One of the best things about the CFL is that games aren’t over until the clock actually hits 0:00. You can come back from 3 scores down in the last 5 minutes. Keeping the game clock running would mean being able to run a minute and 10 seconds off the clock instead of just 40 seconds on a new series, which would be a major game changer unless timeout rules are also changed. Currently, each team gets two timeouts per half, but only one can be used in the last three minutes of the half.
I absolutely hate the change to the rouge. It’s especially awful that they’re implementing this change before they move the goalposts to the back of the endzone. If you’re going to move the goalposts to the back, then it makes sense that field goals attempts kicked out of the back of the endzone would no longer be a rouge, since most misses aren’t going to be returnable. Missed field goal returns are one of the most exciting plays in the CFL and these changes that away. As things are now, a missed field goal that isn’t returned out of the end zone is one point for the kicking team and the team on defense gets the ball at their own 40 or the spot where the ball was kicked. Generally, you’re incentivized to return missed field goals, but sometimes some strategy comes into play that’s unique to the CFL.
The idea behind these rule changes is to increase touchdowns and aggressiveness on third downs, things that were mentioned over and over in the video the CFL put out going over the changes, but I can see this having an adverse effect on scoring as a whole. I can see teams electing to play for field position rather than attempting a field goal, which will be 5 yards farther than they are now, or going for it on 3rd down, since if they don’t get it, the other team is ten yards closer to the endzone than they would be now. To incentivize going for it on 3rd down, you’d need to move the goalposts back, but keep the field 110 yards. But then you’re still going to see teams elect to play for field position, so you’d really need to make any ball punted out of bounds a penalty, instead of just ones outside the 15 like it is now.
The idea behind all of this is to grow the game, but the CFL’s problem isn’t that it’s not enough like the American game. Being different from the American game is the best thing the CFL has going for it. The CFL needs new fans, but turning the league into the UFL with maple syrup on top isn’t the answer. Making it easier for people to watch your product, and that product being an interesting one, is. It’s great that every game is available for free on the CFL’s website, but how about a Roku app? Or get the games on Paramount+ in the U.S. since you’ve got a deal with CBS already? How about just putting the games on YouTube outside of Canada? The CFL has a big opportunity coming up: an MLB lockout in 2027 seems more likely than not and given that the league wants to seriously push for a salary cap, it could be a long one. The possibility of two months with no major sports going on is a very real one. During COVID, when U.S. sports were shut down, people watched Korean baseball. The CFL needs to be ready if this opportunity presents itself.
Eatin’ things on the internet time!
If the Detroit Tigers blow what was once a 14.5 game lead in the AL Central, I’ll eat a shingle.
— Benson (Miguel Cabrera’s Bat) (@Miggysbat) September 17, 2025
The Tigers beat the Guardians 2-1 in the Wild Card round, but if this guy wants his Tigers to keep going, he better eat the shingle. Florida State’s football season totally fell apart last year after 321nole deleted his account instead of eating the dog poop.

MLB is finally letting teams challenge balls and strikes:
BREAKING: Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season
ABS CHALLENGE RULES:
– Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they’re successful
– Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or… pic.twitter.com/xHkRIbHrRx

This seems like a pretty good way of making sure egregious misses are rectified without holding up play for a gorillion challenges. It worked great in the All-Star game. You may ask “is this truly necessary?”
A HORRIBLE strike three call against the Padres from umpire D.J. Reyburn.
The Padres went on to lose 3-1 to the Cubs in Game 3 of the Wild Card series, leaving runners on second and third to end it.

Yup, sure is! The next two batters got hit, meaning if that pitch was called correctly, the Padres would’ve had the bases loaded with nobody out. The next guy grounded into a fielder’s choice that would’ve been a tough play at home. The guy after that flew out to center, which were it out number two, would’ve been a sac fly, maybe to tie the game. Instead, it was the end of the Padres’ season. We have the technology. Use it.
A rough Ryde
The U.S. got clobbered for the first two days of the Ryder Cup, getting beat so badly that even a remarkable showing in the singles matches on Sunday wasn’t enough. On Sunday, Viktor Hovland withdrew due to a neck injury, this invoking the “envelope rule,” meaning that a pre-selected golfer on the other side also sits Sunday and it’s treated as a halved match between the two players who didn’t play. Any further withdrawals are treated as forfeits with the other team receiving the full point. The rule is in place because there are no alternates, meaning it’s beneficial for both sides to have something of a safety net here, and because golf is a gentleman’s game, not that you’d know it from the behavior of the U.S. fans.
Rory McIlroy literally speaking on behalf of the entire world – not just in the context of golf – and then delivering an absolute dart to back up the talk 🔥

It got so bad Saturday that the New York State Police had to be called in. An utter disgrace by the American fans.
A big part of the problem for the American side was captain Keegan Bradley. For some reason, Bradley paired Collin Morikawa and Harris English together for the Friday alternate shot. Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood beat them 5&4. Did Bradley learn from that drubbing? Sure didn’t! He opted to run it back on Saturday, where Fleetwood Mac won 3&2. Bradley also opted to have Bryson DeChambeau tee off on 1, even though the better strategy is to have the longer hitter tee off on the even holes at Bethpage. But I guess Bradley just really wanted to let DeChambeau try to reach the green and fire up the boorish drunkards that comprised the American cheering section. All of this is part of the overarching problem that the Euros are far better organized and take the Ryder Cup more seriously than the Americans do.
Lawyers, start your billing!
The NCAA is moving to a single, 15-day transfer window for football. The window will be from January 2-16. If a head coach is fired, a 30-day portal window will still open. The idea of players transferring after the season is a nice one, but the national championship game is January 19. A lot of colleges will have started their spring semester by then. In reality, none of this actually matters, because there will be an antitrust lawsuit, and the NCAA will lose it, because that’s that organization’s only function anymore.
UPDATE:
Update on the change to the portal when a coach is fired.
Students will have a 15 day window beginning 5 days AFTER the announcement of a new coach.
If the school doesn’t announce a coach within 30 days, a 15 day window opens, but only in spring/summer. https://t.co/0ZEEeM4g86

The SCORE Act would grant the NCAA some antitrust exemptions, but that would almost certainly be challenged in court itself and there’s no guarantee the bill passes in the first place. Passing in the Senate was always no sure thing, and now support in the House appears to be waning a bit, too. The bill would establish that college athletes are not employees, which is going to be a tough sell to Democrats, as this would prevent college athletes from forming a union and collectively bargaining on issues like a salary cap.
The bill would also prohibit certain NIL deals, a provision attorneys are certain to love. Of course, that raises the issue of who would be monitoring all of that, because the current system run by Deloitte initially ruled that things like autograph signings were not valid business purposes before they realized that all that rule would do is help some lawyers make boat payments and repealed it. Currently, things are so slow and inefficient that a couple collectives aren’t even waiting for deals to clear. Adding to all of this hilarity is the creation of a tip line to report NIL violations. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what kinds of calls are going to come through that line and what credible calls they do get, they don’t have the manpower to do anything about.
Here it is, your moment of zen.
