I cannot believe how bad they are going to likely fuck this up, when the damn thing is pretty unfuckupable, all because they’re gonna be greedy. I get it, why take $4m when you can get more in the NFL, and believing in yourself blah blah blah. But far less talented athletes have skipped the NFL, tried baseball, and…

I’m super into these kinds of features. These folks fascinate me, but NFL brands being so transient, I feel like they’re easier to keep when they move than in other sports. 

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. But then, Harris is an interracial relationship so I can’t decide which is going to be worse. 

Colleges give zero fucks. They hire black coaches as recruiters, and that’s about it. Black ADs are like black GMs in the NFL, rare. 

You mean the lesson isn’t “find a young white coach and hire him?” I’m confused. 

Nobody under 50 cares about baseball, is why. (I do and I’m under 50, but hyperbole is the point..) 

I feel less sympathy for MLBPA because they routinely fuck minor leaguers in the hopes they’ll keep the paydays reserved for them. Turns out, the spigot isn’t so hot after all. 

Saturday: Maybe since the NFL can’t bother to hire black coaches, they can just hire HBCU bands to play the halftime show and make that a tradition. Americans love dancing and music playing Negroes. 

No league is going to contract. 

That backhand sequence is a masterclass in teaching younger players how investing in your backhand pays dividends. Gracious. 

Thanks for these writeups love in-depth tennis coverage. Osaka is SO good. And it’s so fascinating that the successor to the Williams sisters is a Haitian dad, Japanese mom who move to the US and raise their kids to do what they did - in this case, only one did - but what a story. 

Between John Scott and this, the NHL can never stay out of its own fucking way during the all-star break. Or at all. 

yeah there must be a bank of these kids ready to take these jobs as our gerontocracy understands how powerful a tool Twitter is. 

It would’ve been fun for Collins to get to a final, but Osaka would’ve beaten her in less than an hour, probably. 

Power in tennis, especially at this level, is less about “hitting the ball really hard” and positioning yourself to generate power from your legs, so you’re not actually slamming the ball like you would a baseball. So no, it’s not a parallel to Tiger Woods and his massive torque off the tee which was causing him the…

Also he was leading UCF to good seasons when they first moved up to FBS

She was married to the guys he can do whatever she wants, it’s her call. 

He’ll play JD Vance in the Hillbilly Elegy movie. 

Gord Ash had that job way too long and didn’t learn a fucking thing from Gillick. 

Or a non-prominent soccer league. Or Finnish baseball. That’s my superpower.
