Fred Tyler has worked thousands of Orioles games, wins and losses and rainouts, from Memorial Stadium to Camden Yards, first a kid helping his neighborhood team and now a baseball lifer in an increasingly technical, professionalized industry.
In short: Tyler has seen everything. But this October will bring him something different.
He’s spent his life working for his hometown team—but almost entirely in the visitors’ clubhouse.

The NFL world is mourning a legend following the death of Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus at age 80 on Thursday.
Butkus, a two-time consensus All-America selection at Illinois, was selected with the No. 3 pick in the 1965 NFL draft by the Bears and went on to become one of the most feared players in league history. He was named to eight Pro Bowls in nine seasons, only missing out during the injury-shortened final year of his career, and voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1979.
But he wasn’t just a standout on the football field.
So, you’ve already spent up for Patrick Mahomes, Mark Andrews and Bijan Robinson for your Week 5 DFS lineup.
What now?
We’ve already given you some suggestions for a winning Week 5 DFS lineup. Here are some players to consider for salary relief to stack up with your studs.
Quarterbacks

Zach Wilson, Jets
Hear me out here. Wilson should be riding high after nearly upsetting the Chiefs. He passed for 245 yards and a pair of touchdowns with a 72% completion rate.
The Dolphins are less than two weeks removed from hanging 70 points on the Broncos, nearly breaking the NFL’s single-game scoring record in the process. It’s the type of performance that’s bound to linger in the mind of opposing fans, and apparently, it also fills rival defensive coordinators with dread.
With the Giants up next on the docket, Miami’s dynamic offense is currently the bane of existence for New York defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale.
Few American sports rivalries between players this year have come under more scrutiny than the feud between LSU forward Angel Reese and Iowa guard Caitlin Clark.
Back on April 2, Reese led the Tigers to a 102–85 win over the Hawkeyes in the national championship in Dallas. Reese punctuated her 15-point, 10-rebound performance by gesturing toward her ring finger as the clock ran down, a gesture that earned praise and criticism across the country.
Anthony Richardson, the Titans’ running game, and Washington State QB Cam Ward are featured in this week’s ‘Establish the Fun’ column.
Welcome back to Establish the Fun, folks! Here at ETF, we live by the mantra “football is fun, and we are here to establish that,” so come on in, grab a seat, snacks are in the foyer and let’s have some fun!
First of all, thank you for being patient with me, was a little under the weather so there was no ETF last week, but we have made close to a full recovery and are back on our daily shenanigans and misadventures.
Saturday’s Red River Showdown features two old rivals and undefeated teams coached by a defensive savant and an offensive genius. We asked their peers to break down the matchup.
While their stats are similar, Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love is facing an uphill climb that Aaron Rodgers didn’t experience.

Deep diving into Baron Davis can inform our expectations for Scoot Henderson
With the Damian Lillard trade saga having finally come to a resolution, the attention in Portland now shifts squarely onto the broad shoulders of soon-to-be rookie point guard Scoot Henderson.
As the third overall pick, Henderson (along with Shaedan Sharpe, Anfernee Simons, and now, Deandre Ayton) will be tasked with ushering the Portland Trail Blazers into their next era of basketball.
Week 5 promises to be a fun one with the potential returns of Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp, another London tilt, and Cowboys vs. 49ers in primetime on Sunday.
If you like to get in on the action, here are some player props I like based on early markets. Today’s article features three quarterbacks and a pair of running backs that could offer sneaky value.
David Montgomery over 70.5 rushing yards (-125)
Last week we weren’t even sure Montgomery was going to play, and he ripped off 121 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns vs. the Packers.
