OTM Open Thread 12/30: It is Monday

Happy Monday everyone. As we all recover from a brutal Patriots game, there are no Boston sports on the docket for Monday. The highlight for the sports world will be bowl games, of which there are four. The action there starts at 12:30 PM ET and the final game starts at 8:00 PM ET. The finale — the Orange Bowl between Florida and Virginia — is the best contest. There’s also some college basketball, with Xavier-Villanovat at 6:30 PM ET probably being the best there. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.

Thing I Like Today

Sam Miller is at his best when looking at the aspects of baseball most of us look past. So him sharing some new things he learned this year about the sport is perfect.
