No, but that shouldn’t have been missed, it wasn’t even close to a ball. Felt even more egregious if you saw it live. We have the means to do this right, but won’t. So freaking dumb.

Pretty much everyone in the Midwest gives a shit, Barry. See where the ball was called?

I’m not surprised she’s thrice divorced, but how is she trapping 4 separate dudes. WTF

I’m not distracted by Gaza takeover, giveaways to Putin, or threats to DC and Latin America. Nor am I distracted by TX/IL drama, rescheduling pot, or Sydney Sweeney’s jeans (ok, maybe a little). Keep the Epstein pressure on, everyone. He’s scared, cornered and desperate.

GOOD FOR HIM! I’m so glad fame and fortune offered him this opportunity.

Hope he sues them, except it’s BS he has to.

You get ANYTHING for free?

MLS is an inferior product that’s more expensive and difficult to access and enjoy. No thanks.

PL is on USA, Telemundo, Peacock, NBC. It’s all over. There are games Saturday morning and afternoons, Sunday mornings and afternoons, Mondays and Wednesdays.

HOW DARE THEY REAP THE REWARDS OF THEIR TALENTS

And yet the league still refuses to budge from a streaming paywall and a stupid β€œall games on at the same time Saturday night” schedule insuring we never bother to see said talent. I’m willing to be an MLS fan, but the league doesn’t want me.

I’ll stick to English Football, thanks.

Hot take: he pitched poorly last night because he doesn’t want to be traded.

In a high school JV πŸ€ game, I scored 20 points (16 in the first half) with the varsity coach who said I didn’t work hard enough to make his team watching on. I mean, he was right, but it still felt good.

I’m reading this right now, if you’d like to borrow next week. Fascinating take on suburbia and wildlife.

Today, 13 was brave enough to go get milk and bananas while I waited in a long pharmacy line. That’s a first.

So basically a ballot measure is about as helpful as an internet poll. Great job, everyone.

Maybe this sounds crazy, but the Pirates. It’s the only way we’re ever getting a legit bat.

Unpopular Opinion:
The rough at Oakmont is dumb, and doesn’t make the Open more compelling.
