I've been a sports fan for life, my favorite team has a great coach (manager), and even so, I agree with the epithet "gym teachers".

Hot take: pre-game studio shows have pretty much run their course.

Fell asleep for most of the second half and still put up more points than the Packers.

Great fun to see the Division III MSOE women's hockey team beat Lawrence this afternoon. But don't worry; he's okay. #rimshot

Thanks to all the baseball writers who worked overtime to publish today's World Series postmortems. Not ready for the reading-about-#MLB season to be over!

Marking myself safe after an 18-inning, 6:39 game. In case anyone asks.

We met you once during an AFP pre-show meet 'n' greet in Denver. I remember you differently.

Not the best era for an INTP. The F and J are annoyingly nosing their way into the proverbial tent.

Won't have clarity on that until after the work stoppage.

What is the logic of trading away the team's last remaining, not to mention popular, starting pitcher?

We're about one inning away from Bill Clement looping his necktie around his head. #Tigers #Mariners

Wish the #NFL would take better advantage of its international game telecasts to add just a bit of local color as a mini-travelogue.

I admire Pat Murphy's leadership, but he's got to take charge and lift Contreras right away, not a few batters later. #Brewers

This #Brewers game was so lost, I bailed for an inning - so glad I rejoined for the full comeback! Congrats to the Crew on a well-earned W!

I freaking love this series of posts. Thanks for the reminiscence & well done for the perspective.

I was so wrong about the #Brewers earlier this season - had them pegged as a .500 team. What a treat this summer has been.

Brandon Woodruff goes out to the mound directly, with purpose, like a football lineman to the line of scrimmage. #Brewers

I just read the word "yeets" in an online episode recap, as in "she notices the arm in the freezer and yeets out of there," and ten minutes later I still have the recurring giggles.

Just read that Wisconsin high school athletes can now benefit, at least in a limited way, from NIL contracts. Too bad my eligibility has quite recently expired.

Finished Ted Lasso's three seasons to date. Great fun. Glad the show is being extended, but hard to see S4 reaching the same high notes after S3's clean wrap-up. Maybe it'll be a fan service season with familiar faces, a la "After-M*A*S*H".

Love that #MLB all-stars are back to using their own teams uniforms. How I always remembered it; how it's supposed to be.

B.A. and Vinny have done such a good job of describing the team's mentality going into the All-Star break that it feels like I have a few days off. #Brewers

So I had on the Wimbledon men's doubles match for a while, and eventually I noticed that the two guys beat the two other guys, and that was that. #rabidsportsfan

Wondering who is the "David!" near the end of the FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin filler loop between innings of #Brewers games - the producer's kid?

Took time away from his bridge game.

I hear the #Brewers are giving away a free baseball game if you buy a cribbage board.
