The Australian Open’s animated tennis players: A YouTube sensation and the future of sports media A YouTube stream of the Australian Open has gone viral for its glitches, but it's also a sign of the future of sports media.

A ‘Particularly Dangerous Situation’ for Fire Weather Is Unfolding in Southern California Strong winds have created a fast-moving and hot blaze, forecasters said, and the conditions are expected to continue into the evening.

Strong Santa Ana winds prompted forecasters to warn of a “particularly dangerous situation” in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Those conditions are expected to continue through early Tuesday afternoon before easing through the evening.

Be safe, Lisa! It's intense how quickly those fires can start and spread, and gnarly to think about folks seeing flames from the Pepperdine library.

Clever bit by @minakimes.bsky.social on the Simpsons cast: "Were they saying boo or Boo-row."

When the crowd jeers Bart with "Die Bart Die" they should clarify that it's German for "The Bart The."

WHY WOULD A MAN WHOSE SHIRT SAYS "GENIUS AT WORK" SPEND ALL OF HIS TIME WATCHING A CHILDREN'S CARTOON SHOW?

Me, to anyone being critical about the MNF Simpsons broadcast tonight

Homer Simpson is officially the best Cowboys QB of the last decade.

OK, positioning this Simpsons MNF broadcast as happening inside a Homer dream already makes it better than the Spongebob and Toy Story versions. That and the Ralph humming of the jingle. This is going to be good.

Bettor places largest NFL wager of the year: $3.1 million on the Eagles-Panthers game A bettor in Kentucky has placed the largest reported NFL bet of the year, $3.1 million on the Eagles to defeat the Panthers on Sunday.

Thought I’d included the link but clearly was mistaken! Its the largest NFL wager so far this season. www.nytimes.com/athletic/597...

A bettor plunked down $3.1M on the Eagles moneyline against the Panthers, at -700. Would win $443K if it hits. Yeesh.

The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it? What if a team could choose one at-bat to send its best hitter to the plate even if it wasn’t that guy’s turn to hit? MLB could test it out.

One of the most interesting conversations in baseball right now has to do with an idea for a rule change: a Golden At-Bat that would let teams send up whoever they want for one key moment in a game. My question: Might pitching change, too? @jaysonst.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

Really strong piece by @brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social here framing the Qs for Ryan Day and Ohio State. Lots of people would want to be in his shoes, but he often gets the worst sides of connecting with a proud program with passionate fans.
