‘Better Red Than Dead’

I’m an Astros fan too and I I love that Bregman speaks pretty fluent Spanish in order to communicate better with his Latin teammates. In my mind I think he’s super competitive, not really a dick.

Last week, Joe Flacco’s wife Dana called out her husband for his complete dearth of enthusiasm on plays where he lines up as a wide receiver.

There are times when you begin to think this just might be a team’s year. This is one of those times.

What I took away from this is that the Giants totally fucked up by drafting Saquon Barkley

That run by DeAndre Hopkins in OT tho

From what I understand, a lot of people who still live in the Bay Area feel the same way.

I’m an Astros fan who doesn’t have any particular hatred of the Red Sox or Yankees. (Weird, I know.) But I wonder why Boston and New York are always getting knocked for their big payrolls and how they’re trying to ‘buy a championship’ and the Dodgers always seem to get off easy. Has any franchise tried more blatantly…

It’s a helpful reminder that however inspirational a brand’s individual clients might be and whatever catchy slogans they come up with, the only thing brands ever really stand for is turning your money into their money.

It’s also worth noting that the only reason Barry had to even right this Mea culpa is because Leitch linked to an old story in an article he wrote for NY Mag yesterday and he inadvertently exposed Barry’s old comments that the lunkheads at Barstool then jumped on. It’s not like Barry was doing any deep rumination…

I remember during the Clinton/Lewinsky trial Larry Flint put a bounty on exposing dirt on Republicans - correctly assuming that hypocrites were going to exposed. His thing was that anyone claiming moral high ground is probably full of shit and have skeletons in their closet. Almost immediately Newt Gingrich confessed…

I recently spent a couple of weeks in Hong Kong and Bangkok and a lot of the young people there were rocking NBA gear. But - and this may shock you - it was overwhelmingly tilted toward Steph Curry jerseys and Golden State Warriors hats. So, yes, they’re even all bandwagon fans in Asia too

What the American right wants, what it’s after, isn’t some abstract pluralist success, like the smooth functioning of government and/or the material improvement of American life. It wants, only and entirely, to defeat its opponents.

So, where are all the A’s fans?

Since the Deadspin curse on hyped players is a real thing, Mahomes will almost certainly need Tommy John surgery before the end of the season

The Astros are like 11-1 or something in their last 12 games and have added maybe a 1/2 game to their lead? Those pesky A’s I tell ya.

Meanwhile, the concession stands at the Phillies ballpark appears to now be selling opioids if those two guys on the left nodding off seem to be any indication

NASCAR fans think the SEC is filled with a bunch of snowflakes

No one’s going to take Lillard seriously until he puts on the trench coat and fedora.
