Most dunks are mundane these days, but truly spectacular ones can bring the house down. John Starks' dunk was incredible, but the circumstances and the opposing player being MJ elevated it to near legend.

Johnny Damon was one of my favorite ballplayers during his career, so it was really sad watching the YouTube video of he and his wife being arrested for DWI and fighting with the police.
Damon made over a hundred million dollars during his baseball career, was driving a $150,000 car, and was pulled over entering a gated community where his house( one of three he owns) is valued at several million dollars.
Supposedly an astute and successful businessman, he didn't have the common sense to call an Uber.

If I had that kind of money, I'd have a chauffeur for my luxury ride...

I am excited. Next week we get #1 Ohio State at 12-0 vs #2 Indiana 12-0 on a neutral field. I have been trying to make a line for it but I don't feel comfortable. If I had to guess I would say about OSU -5

I watched a good bit of college football this year, and OSU seems to be playing at a different level than the rest of the teams.

I have probably watched around 150 college games this season and would agree with you. They definitely look like the best team but they are still beatable. If either Indiana or Ohio State win their next four games they will be national champions.

In the Bears-Eagles game, Amazon was going to split-screen and ran ads during the time between plays. Not every play, or even most plays, but it was still annoying. I've never noticed it before, but added to the regular commercials it was pretty irritating.
