The term “core four” needs to be retired. Bernie Williams was the best hitter of those Yankees championship years, and it’s not close, so why do we keep using it? Seeing it thrown around on Old Timer’s Day as much as it was just came off as a lazy way to tribute a great time in this team’s history. It’s an objective fact that without Bernie, they don’t win as much as they do. Between 1996 and 2000, among players with a minimum of 1,000 PA, Bernie leads the Yankees in AVG (.324), OBP (.410), SLG (.551), wRC (145), and fWAR (23.6). To put into context how ridiculous Bernie was then, his .960 OPS blew away the second and third-highest OPS on the team by over .100. Derek Jeter was second with a .865 OPS, and Paul O’Neill was third with a .850 OPS. If you want to lower the minimum PA to .500, he’s still the highest by a wide margin because it puts Darryl Strawberry at second with a .871 OPS. All of this is even before we account for his postseason track record. Overall Bernie hit .275/.371/.480 in October.

The #NCAATournament upsets have been wildly entertaining, but college basketball is broken. That there won’t be a single No. 1 seed even in the Elite Eight is evidence that one-and-done has, over time, decimated the sport. Overemphasis on the 3 hasn’t helped either.

As demolished as I am by tonight, I’m grateful for one of the most joyous #Michigan seasons I’ve experienced in 40-plus years as a fan. And I think Harbaugh, Weiss, Moore and Minter - who each struggled - will all be better because of tonight’s loss. As will JJ … #GoBlue

I wish Blake Corum had been healthy and playing tonight. I think so much is different if he’d played - play calling deep in the red zone, in particular, but also establishing a consistent run game given his ability to both make people miss and break tackles. #GoBlue forever.

#ForFranco. Go Steelers!

Godspeed Mike Leach. The college football world is a less interesting place this morning. His analyses of the best Halloween candy and which Pac-12 mascot would win in a fight were priceless. Thoughts are with his family and other loved ones.

All love to Cade McNamara and forever respect for 2021, but the offense is just better with JJ. #MichiganFootball

As I wait out the @UMichFootball rain delay, go @UKFootball in the @ChrisMCameron Bowl at @GatorsFB!

Here's a 3k-word tome @ssutner and I wrote on the tech #stock selloff and how it will affect #data, #AI & #analytics vendors - public and private alike. Big thanks to @rwang0 @veelarco @omrikohl @mgualtieri and #Victor Lee for their input. @TechTargetNews techtarget.com/searchbusines…

School shootings are not fucking acts of nature, like hurricanes and tornadoes. They're man-made acts of inaction, of cowardice, of corruption by all lawmakers who refuse to pass laws PROVEN BY DATA to stop preventable, senseless shootings like in Uvalde.

I’ve spent 2 much time over the last 7 hrs processing what happened btwn #Michigan and #Wisconsin. I’ve been a fan of Mich since The Judge & General, and went to Wis from 88-92. I ❤️ both. I ❤️ @JuwanHoward. But he pitched a hissy fit over a TO, and everything ensued from there.
