The Big Ten East and path to the playoffs are at stake in Ohio State-Michigan.

J.J. McCarthy’s beef with Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal will sound funny to Ohio State football fans. MICHAEL Aaron, Michigan Not in the way you may expect, J.J. McCarthy sees unfairness in Michigan’s sign-stealing incident. The narratives around his Wolverines don’t align with the victories and honors they are accruing. In fact, his Wolverines appear to earn less credit the closer they go to winning a third consecutive Big Ten championship. McCarthy is adamant that Michigan deserves it and that the programs it has dominated over the past few seasons are just outclassed. He is offended, therefore, when critics bring up the…

Why the Phillies, who’ve changed so much, bet big on Aaron Nola, who’s changed so little? PHILADELPHIA — It began with an unexpected request to speak with the manager, as most big-league careers do. Aaron Nola was promoted to the majors from a hotel lobby in Rochester, N.Y., one Friday morning. The right-hander from Louisiana did not choose the Phillies. They selected him. That is the randomness of this whole thing—the idea that Nola could now spend more time with the Phillies than any pitcher ever in the franchise’s 140-year history. The Phillies had the seventh pick in the 2014 amateur draft.…

Mailbox: Readers have opinions on Michigan football cheating and want Jim Harbaugh fired Brian, please: Jim Harbaugh’s plausible deniability is a farce because Pat Fitzgerald had to have known about the customary hazing at Northwestern, and Jim Tressel was aware that our players exchanged jerseys for tattoos. If UM is as ethical as they claim to be, his removal ought to happen shortly. . To the editor: It is a misuse of the legal system for Michigan to try to use the legal system as an excuse for not adhering to Big Ten Conference standards. The league has the right…
