  1. The reason Super Bowl players were taxed in California is because they worked there (in California) for at least a week. That’s what California law requires. If it had just been a weekend trip, California taxes would not apply.
  2. Alma mater of Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts.
  3. NIL is most certainly taxable income. They get taxed in the state where they are “employed.” I believe it’s Mississippi where legislation has been introduced to make NIL earnings exempt from state taxes … so as to give their state schools a recruiting advantage.
  4. Shocker. A real blow to the OL.
  5. After taking down Maryland, 11-8 in College Park, Irish lax remains at #1 this week. Next up: #11 Ohio State in Columbus.
  6. “They hate us … ‘cause they ain’t us.” 😂🤣😅
  7. Happy 131st birthday to the one and only George Gipp. Notre Dame’s first All American.
  8. There are some freaks there, for sure. I wonder who will be the guy who rockets up the draft boards based on what he does in shorts and a t-shirt. Might be this guy.
  9. Between the stadium drama, the Combine, the upcoming draft & free agency, there’s plenty going on to keep Bears’ fans occupied as we head toward the new League year. So, might as well start a new thread. Saw that the 49ers and Trent Williams are nearing impasse. How would that guy look in Navy & Orange? What say you @Coach Nowlin?
  10. Josh Wissing, former OC at Merrillville, is the new HFC at Wheeler.
  11. Oh, I understand the reasoning. It’s one of the unintended consequences of the 12 team playoff format.
  12. USC has found a replacement for Notre Dame, after deserting one of the great rivalries in college football. They will play San Jose St. Last season the Spartans ranked #144 in Sagarin’s final rankings after finishing 3-9. In the last 5 seasons the Spartans are 29-33, and are members of the Mountain West Conference. Since it’s USC, my expectations were low to begin with. But still, the Trojans managed to fall short.
  13. I expected more than 3. Of course, those are only the economic stats he got wrong.
  14. And the result is a #1 ranking this week.
  15. Fighting Irish lacrosse season is underway. After two tuneup wins against Marquette and Bellarmine, the #7 Irish started the gauntlet that is their schedule today with a dominant 15-9 win over #3 Georgetown. Next up: road games at #1 Maryland and #9 Ohio State.
  16. Rondale Moore, of Floyd Central and Purdue fame, has died at age 25. Cause of death is “under investigation.” https://www.wlky.com/article/nfl-wide-receiver-local-stand-out-rondale-moore-death-indiana/70448738
  17. The term “student-athlete” still applies in a few places.
  18. 100%
  19. Michiana Sports is reporting that Ron Brown has resigned as John Glenn HFC after two seasons.
  20. All you really need to do is wear a cap lined with tinfoil. 😜 Surprised you didn’t know that.
  21. Well played by the Bears.
  22. Once in awhile, I get a little wood on the ball.
  23. Who is attending some sort of party for the game. We always have people over. Gives me a chance to flex my kitchen muscles. Today’s bill of fare is wings (traditional buffalo and honey barbecue) along with brisket burnt ends chili. Laid in a big supply of Tums.
  24. Seen a lot lately discussing the halftime show(s), neither of which I’d forego a trip to the kitchen for. What’s the best Super Bowl halftime show? For me, it’s 2007 Prince in the pouring rain, and then all others. Far and away the best, and one of the greatest live concert performances of all time. If you say the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction, you’re dead to me.
