Week 1 football capsules and Colucci's Pizza! @bbournival

I follow ZERO political figures on X and yet my timeline is 90 percent that crap.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Per @LCCougarFB coach Marty Gibbons, OG David Iannini has torn an ACL (the opposite knee of last year's ACL). Feel so bad for that young man. Great, high-character kid and this is 2 years in a row with an ACL. @NHPreps.

Welp - looks like the Cincinnati Bengals' defense is in mid-season form.

The @NHPreps high school football preview section comes out in TUESDAY's edition. most of it can be found online right now, while the rest of it will go online Monday.

The @USC_Athletics football team is getting an absolute gem of a human being in @shahnalston3. Great running back, even better person and role model for his hometown. @uscfootball @NHPreps .

Keep both rookies - at SOME point this season they will BOTH play. The Browns need to know by season's end if either has a chance to be THE guy. Keep them both and find out. Can't afford to cut loose the wrong one.

My guess on what the #Browns will do with their four QB - Keep them all, Flacco, Pickett, Sanders and Gabriel. (Sorry, no Huntley). At some point, another NFL team this season will need a QB- trade Pickett or Flacco for a pick. No use cutting them on cutdown day. Lose trade asset.

My fantasy baseball teams STINK - total garbage. Can't wiat for fantasy football drafts Aug. 31.

Annual Tiger LaVerde preseason count. He is 244-21 (.928) at @kirtlandFB. Seven of those losses are in state championship games. He could go 0-10 for 22 years and still be 3 games over 500. @NHPreps @OHSAASports.

Today I started my 24th year at The News-Herald… it seems like yesterday I walked in to the office in Mentor for the first time and was welcomed by sports editor Scott Kendrick and a cake on my desk welcoming me to the team…. It’s been an amazingly fun run!! @NHPreps.

At this point, the #Guardians should just deal Carlos Santana, too. Get Manzardo in the lineup everyday and (what it comes down to) save some money.

Proof Cleveland can't have nice things. .

Imagine the parlays that potentially come into play -- Clase to throw a first-pitch ball and still get the save? or first-pitch ball, save and record 1-3 strikeouts? . WHEW, this could be pretty deep.

RT @FoolishBB: Emmanuel Clase has come in to the game at the beginning of the 9th inning 40 times this season. Here is his Statcast Waste%….

The first @NHPreps girls flag football all-star team is headlined by @southathletics Olivia Pennington and coach Matt McCue. Plenty of representation from others, including @BHSBadgerDen. Check it out!.

Sunday's Guardians' lineup + BA: . Steven Kwan .298.David Fry .148.Jose Ramirez .297.Carlos Santana .235.Angel Martinez .238.Johnathan Rodriguez .146.Will Wilson .167.Austin Hedges .115.Brayan Rocchio .165. A) Yuck.B ) Why would anyone throw a strike to Jose Ramirez ever again?.

I'm surprised Jose Ramirez ever sees a strike to swing at. Why do it? Who else in front of him or behind him in the lineup is a threat to inflict damage? - or at least any sort of consistent damage.

It has to be unnerving on some level to Jose Ramirez that he took WAY below market value to sign a long-term deal with Cleveland, watched guys like Josh Naylor and Andres Gimenez (understandably) dealt and the Guardians front office doesn't re-invest the money saved. BAD offense!.
