Mt. Vernon advances to the schools first state championship with a win over New Albany at the Semi State final in New Castle. The stage is set for an earlier season rematch vs Crown Point for the IHSAA 4A state championship Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. @mvmarauders

Mt. Vernon took care of business this morning with a 66-46 win over Decatur Central. They will play tonight vs New Albany for the right to play for the @IHSAA1 State Championships at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. @mvmarauders

The Mt Vernon Marauders took the win over Pike in the @IHSAA1 4A Regional championship and will move on to Semi State next weekend. @mvmarauders

@971theticketxyt One trade wasn't the difference between a Super Bowl and our 9-8 record. One trade didn't keep us from blowing a 17 point second half lead in the NFC championship game. One trade didn't keep us from blowing home field advantage with 5 turnovers, in a year we went 15-2.

As a Lions fan, do you have GM envy?

@JimCosta_ I dont believe personnel decisions blew a 17 point lead in the NFC championship game or led to a 15-2 team having 5 turnovers in a playoff game. The biggest concern isnt free agency/trades but the drafting the past couple years compared to first few. Got to hit more in the draft

With the Trent McDuffie deal the Rams have traded their 1st round pick in 9 of the last 10 drafts In that time they won a Super Bowl, 10 playoff games and 4 division crowns. Only 1 losing season That’s the organization Brad Holmes apprenticed under Where is the disconnect?

@Roadman_Podcast Ride and race

Would you ride a steel frame? Somewhere along the way, carbon quietly became “normal” and steel got pushed into the nostalgia corner – café chat, old photos, and that one lad on the club spin who refuses to give up his lugged frame from the 90s. But i'm not sure steel will ever really go away. A good steel frame rides differently. There’s a feel to it – that little bit of flex and give – that you just don’t get from most carbon race bikes. It’s not about being faster on a 20‑minute climb, it’s about that smooth, planted sensation when you’re rolling along rough roads or leaning it into a corner. It looks different too. Skinny tubes, clean lines, maybe even a custom paint job. It has a bit of soul. On the flip side, modern carbon is lighter, stiffer, more aero, and easier to find off the shelf. If you’re chasing racing performance, shopping mainstream brands, or obsessing over watts per kilo, it’s very hard to argue against what carbon gives you. Steel starts to look like a luxury, not a necessity. So I’m curious where you land on this. Would you ride a steel frame in 2026?

@Roadman_Podcast In terms of all time greats his only downside is his lack of results at the biggest bike race of the world, the Tour de France. How would you stack him up against someone like Peter Sagan. Would you rather have 8 cyclocross worlds or 7 TDF Green jersey's?

Where does he rank among the all time greats? Top 5 riders ever ? - 8 World Cyclocross titles. - Paris–Roubaix x 3 (2023, 2024, 2025) •Milano–Sanremo x 2 (2023, 2025) •Tour of Flanders x 3 (2020, 2022, 2024) •World Championships RR x 1 (2023) •Tour de France stage wins x 2 (2021, 2025)

@971theticketxyt The Lions were up 17 at half of the NFC championship game. The year after they were the #1 seed in the NFC. Those weren't personal issues. Execution was a disaster in their previous 6 quarters of playoff football.

What Brad Holmes and the Lions can learn from the Seahawks

If you think Lions Bears rivalry on X is wild you should see the weather version of ECMWF vs GFS. They been going back and forth like the division up for grabs this week. Each side I'm sure keeping receipts and just waiting to be right. #wx

@DetroitOnLion With how much contact there was between reciever and defender it was officiated like a Hail Mary. Not enough credit is giving to Kmet who initiated contract to move defender away from boundary giving them space in the back of the end zone. Legal or not it worked.

POLL: Caleb Williams 14-yard TD pass vs. Rams, is it a hail mary?

Honest question: Do we consider Caleb Williams' TD throw vs. the Rams to be a hail mary? Goes down in the books as a 14-yard pass, but he launched that from beyond the 40. What say you, Twitter? (poll in next tweet)

Kmet initiated the contact to drive the defender away from the boundary to give his QB a spot to throw the ball in the back of the end zone. Smart play. Not sure the exact rules, all I know is if a defender imitates any contact after 5 yards they can be called for illegal contact

No doubt Caleb Williams made a hell of a play but to call it the best throw in the playoffs is crazy. Not to open any old wound as a Lions fan but Farve to Sharpe 45 yards across his body, hitting him in stride. youtube.com/watch?v=OscZ_i…

@TheVolumeSports @colincowherd @JohnMiddlekauff I can think of a few more but this one comes to mind first. Farve 45 yard across the field hitting Sharpe in stride. youtube.com/watch?v=OscZ_i…

“Those 2 throws are the best I’ve seen in the playoffs” @colincowherd & @JohnMiddlekauff react to Rams-Bears

Not going to the ground to make the catch. But outside of that clearly the Bears player is offsides and even looks back for the flag. 😂

@DetroitOnLion Terribly coaching. Snapped the previous play with 5 or 6 seconds on the play cock still. Then you have the probably NFL MVP and you just hand it off. Go for the win.

Mcvay, you coward. Go for the first down! Clock was gonna stop anyways.

Happy New Year!

@AtoZ_Payton The biggest thing to me concerning the injuries is it seems to be wiping out a whole position group. Last year front 7 on defense, this year defensive backs and tight ends have taken big hits. DBs were just looking to get better two weeks ago and well not any more.

The Detroit Lions don’t really have an injury problem, they have a frequency illusion and perception problem atozsports.com/nfl/detroit-li…
