Have the Jayhawks considered losing in normal ways that wouldn’t ruin my entire day afterward

oh nothin, just the Nationals signing Amed Rosario... *LOWERS SHADES TO LOOK YOU DEAD IN THE EYE* who's older than Juan Soto by the way,

I guess my assumption is that, if the overall $ is the same (or very similar) in a 3 vs. 5 year offer, cutting your losses toward the end of the deal shouldn’t be a big pain? So long as you’re willing to cut on-field losses (not give him 600 ABs after it’s clear he is bad). $ would’ve burned anyway.

If he wants more years for the same price, it really is a no-brainer. Of course, it’s not that simple & idk if this is even the issue, but even if the difference is $30 mil AAV vs. $25 mil AAV over 5 years…I just can’t reason this being a gap legitimate enough that you let him walk.

The Mets-Pete stand-off is so weird to me.

A deal like 3/$120 mil or 5/$130 mil seem to act functionally the same, imo. If year 4 and year 5 are bad ends of an age curve, they’d just operate like a deferment? Not my money, of course, but 5 years would even help, LT-wise.

It’s important to remind folks that Juan Soto is a Met

That 30 year payment structure is going to be absolutely wild to unpack

I’ve also seen some people surprised (annoyed?) that he will surpass Ohtani’s number and…of course he will? Due to his age, he is one of the rare FAs that can command a deal like this. Plus, owners (probably due to Cohen) aren’t treating him like they did Bryce Harper.

$50 mil dead money in 2040 probably isn’t going to cause an org like the Yankees or the Mets too many problems. If anything, the flag you fly because you signed Juan Soto will make up for it.

I think some people get lost in the overall number for Soto. If you believe he’s a $50 mil/year player for 15 years, idk what would stop you from tossing in year 16 (assuming that is what could put this over the top).

If I were the New York Mets I would sign Juan Soto

Always blows my mind whenever teams challenge Dajuan Harris to score, then leave him space to do it. He can shoot!

Every commercial break is a reminder for how little this game likely matters. “Terry’s chocolate” please be serious

mr. doctor sir please debride me of these next 5 minutes

I picked a bad day to have head surgery

Going to miss watching Devin Neal run, what a beautiful senior day performance for him

Last time I came here to post it was about Kansas basketball and guess what it’s about this time? Not Kansas basketball

Yeah I say UNC ‘probably good’ only b/c idk if any team (except maybe Purdue) has felt legit yet? Everyone is still inconsistent. Could easily see them end up a 1 or 2 seed, especially if Duke doesn’t figure it out.

Also, OU, imo they feel more like a 15-25 team? Not an easy matchup, but not top 10

Alabama is such a confusing team

UNC, probably good team. OU, OK team in both name and talent?

since twitter is down this is where I have to say OU being ranked 7 was always hilarious, of course they lost

Genuinely shitty to see him go this route. He knows what his platform is. He is actively choosing to defend TB. “Obviously, nothing ever came from it” is such an awful way to excuse TB’s actions.

Leody supremacy notwithstanding, why are the Rangers still pitching to Yordan. Just put him on.

A Phillies-Rangers World Series would be perfect because I’m fine with either of them winning

I don't care if it's 30 cents. I will never give that motherfucker my credit card number. staging.bsky.app/profile/tech...

Welp guess this app is going to crash real soon

Would like to issue one (1) late night Kitty appreciation post:

I hate this headline, because it dishonestly portrays the subject as having changed, when what really happened was reporters & editors went along with a heroic self-mythology rather than performing scrutiny and now realize what a mistake that was, w/o owning up to it.

See: Giuliani, Rudy.

No matter how many Not Interested tags I throw on barstool/barstool-adjacent videos, their algo keeps throwing it back to me.
