Man, I don’t want to hear about curses. Over the past 20 years the Red Sox, White Sox, Phillies, Giants, Royals, Cubs and Astros have combined to win 12 World Series, and every one of them were longer suffering than you.

Or you can say, hey I’m 45, and my team has two rings, both in the prime high school years where stuff like this matters before life sucks everything out of you.

To be fair, if you’re playing the White Sox, Royals, and Tigers 19 times a year, you should win 101 games easily.

I’m sure the million ethnic Muslim Ugyhurs residing in the Xinjiang re-education camps will be happy to hear about the NBA’s commitment to Chinese fans as they assemble for their 5 a.m. re-education seminar. It will make their morning rice gruel taste so much sweeter.

to be fair, 5am is when you have to leave to get to Ashburn by start of business

Gruden: Why so early, boss?

I hope she has some generous relatives who will support her despite all she has done or else in 5 yrs there will be an article on Giz where someone snaps a pic of Holmes begging for change at a LA-area freeway exit ramp

My ugly 2-deep wall of eagerly awaited Sports Illustrateds, if I’m lucky, will sustain my brain after I can no longer figure out how to operate digital devices.

Hey everyone, this guy figured out that the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars lacks an understanding of how an NFL team operates!

That’s just preposterous. The Rays’ roster can’t collectively afford 80 new suits.

I have an incredibly hard time imagining that someone who is good enough to start for the Oranje and was born and raised in the Netherlands would instead choose the clownshow that is the USMNT.

Haisleys gotta be damn near jizzing himself at the prospect of a good young player spurning the USMNT.

Considering the Rockpile seats are in approximately Wyoming, I’m kinda impressed they’re even getting five bucks for them.

I heard an interview with the, uh, controversial former GM of the Marlins, David Sampson. A lot of reasons to hate him but he gave a brutally honest answer about tanking teams and fan attendance. My numbers may be off a little because I don’t want to go searching for the exact moment in the podcast but he said…

How was there an entire long hockey article, with a few paragraphs specifically about the Flyers, yet not a single mention of the greatest mascot of all time?

NJ vs NYR will be a lot of fun for a long time.  As far as I can tell, that’s the best thing to happen to hockey in the offseason.

Cousin Greg will win the whole game.

I felt the same way but one day the remote was too far away from me, about a foot, and I watched an episode of Succession.

Great read. I think theres a moral argument against replay having to do with our conceptions of fairness. (Its a bit more legal than classically philosophical but bear with me.)
