I can’t believe that catch happened. I can’t believe the defender couldn’t push the receiver another inch to be out of bounds. Penn State is cursed.

β€œIt’s almost like he thinks my needs are unimportant. Like he doesn’t care about my opinions, or that he doesn’t think about me at all. Now obviously that can’t possibly be true, because I am a big important boy.”

Penn State is really trying to blow this

If there are a thousand different simultaneous incidents that make Trump look like the worst piece of shit of all time, he thinks it can’t affect him.

I’m going to make an account to highlight football coaches who don’t know how to use their timeouts

Brock Bowers is amazing. He’s even on the fantasy team I’m playing this week and I’m still like Herbstreit: β€œJust throw him the ball!”

Whatever culture war issues distracted the base while he made billions for his former company Halliburton and American oil companies. Lie about Iraq, kill hundreds of thousands of people, create endless war, but hey, at least Citizens United lets companies and superPACs buy elections like he wanted.

And he was one of many establishment Republicans who knowingly threw open the doors to the lunatic fringe to take over their party and only tried to kick them out after they’d ransacked the place and long after he had any political capital left.

In so many ways his piloting of W’s presidency became a model for every Nazi incel working for Trump. Even if they disagree on policy points with him, he normalized being the unscrupulous man behind the curtain who wielded expanded executive power and furthered unethical corporate interests

He might not have put down any cobblestones recently, but Cheney unmistakably helped pave the current road to fascism and oligarchy. He objected to the present direction of the street but he drove the steamroller for several miles or it. Actions have consequences.

Calling defensive timeouts between 2:00 and 2:39 only makes sense if you are going to get the ball back before the warning. Otherwise coaches should have been awake in math class.

The Chiefs should have ten more seconds. Reid called his last timeout on first down with 2:30, saving 30 seconds instead of the full 40 if he’d waited until after the 2-minute warning

NFL coaches, I aced the math portion of the GRE β€” hire me to tell you when to call your timeouts.

The refs in the Chiefs game made the correct call, got together and decided to call it incorrectly with grounding, then because of that couldn’t do a video review to see they’d called it incorrectly. That is impressive incompetence.

I just don’t want to see Ohtani or someone I like wear a maga hat like Kurt Suzuki did at the White House.

I’m begging football announcers to stop saying β€œanswer back.” Redundancy is really popular with sports people to try to sound smarter but it has the opposite effect.

Will someone hire Jon Hamm to star in something so he doesn’t have to shill for sports gambling?

Guys have forgotten how to hit behind a pitcher. You can’t make the third out on one pitch like Mookie did. Give Ohtani thirty seconds to sit down!

The GOP trying to come up with an alternative to the ACA on the fly is hilarious. They haven’t had an alternative for a decade. They don’t have any ideas. They’ve just wanted to get rid of it because Obama created it.

Better lucky than a good manager. Crazy walking Betts to face Freeman. Active hits leader, active walk-off hits leader. Nearly slammed a World Series game off in back-to-back years. Only guy to ever hit one to end a WS game already.

It’s amazing the Blue Jays got to the World Series with this lineup. Besides Guerrero, Bichette, and Springer, the others are a team of High Pockets Kellys.
