KU football vs. Oklahoma State: Quick recap and instant analysis

David Beaty unwilling to commit to Carter Stanley after OSU loss
After Carter Stanley became the third different KU quarterback to start a half in 2018 — and promptly completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns against Oklahoma State — KU coach David Beaty was asked if he'd seen enough to name Stanley the starter for the rest of the year. Beaty was asked a similar question after Stanley threw for 418 yards in a start against K-State last season.

Ravens at Steelers: Is Joe Flacco elite again? - SBNation.com
Flacco’s production perhaps peaked in 2014, when he produced a career-best 6.7 ANY/A and a 68.2 QBR. He took fewer sacks than ever and threw for nearly 4,000 yards in fewer than 350 passes.

In the 21st century, “sorry, so sorry” has become the tragic modus operandi for banks, businesses and social media behemoths. Time and time again, mega companies exploit customer data for nefarious reasons, walk away with a slap on the wrist — and occasionally a hefty fine or two — and spit out a “we’ll do better” PR campaign.
