The TEN<\/p><\/div>\n

(\u201cThe TEN\u201d is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in \u201cThe TEN\u201d)<\/p>\n

1\u2014Shohei Ohtani goes five scoreless innings, and homers, in Dodgers 4-0 win over the Padres on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

2\u2014When Caleb [Williams] made the choice to come to SC, we got destroyed over that. Now, 30 guys from Iowa State go to Penn State, nobody gives a blank. However many guys from James Madison to Indiana, nobody cares. It\u2019s interesting how much of that has changed.\u201d\u2014USC HC Lincoln Riley<\/p>\n

3\u2014ESPN\u2019s Mina Kimes Top 10 QB List places the Rams Matthew Stafford at #10 behind: Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, Dak Prescott, Jordan Love, and Caleb Williams.<\/p>\n

4\u2014\u201cDo you think that a mechanic from Canada or a beer salesman from Switzerland or a shoe repairman from France will be able to cover our NFLer on a 9 route?!\u201d \u2013 Chris Fore on Twitter (X) on NFL players playing on the USA Flag Football League team in the 2028 Olympics. <\/p>\n

5\u2014On this date in 1969 Henry Aaron, after 9,015 at bats, is lifted for a pinch hitter for the first time as Mike Lum hits for him and doubles in a 15-3 Braves victory over the Mets.<\/p>\n

6\u2014\u201c@Jimbo,
\nAgreed. I come here for sports in the Mid Valley; not political commentary. I go to political pages for that stuff, not ones that cater to HS football. If it gets a little sideways sometimes it\u2019s to be expected, but since Joe T\u2019s come around there\u2019s more of it.\u201d\u2014MVS commenter, FBFan<\/p>\n

7\u2014Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 122-13, to even the NBA\u2019s Western Conference Finals series at 1-1. Isaiah Hartenstein scored 10 points and grabbed 13 boards (8 offensive) for OKC.<\/p>\n

8\u2014\u201cI’m a baseball player, I’m not a theorist. You got something for me?\u201d\u2014San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado answering a reporter (Marty Caswell) on his struggles at the plate.<\/p>\n

9\u2014Philadelphia Eagles edge-rusher Nolan Smith Jr. was arrested Friday on charges of speeding and reckless driving in Georgia. Smith was clocked at 135 mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 16 in Twiggs County, Georgia.<\/p>\n

10\u2014\u201cGuessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution.\u201d\u2013Henry Aaron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
