The "Jackie Robinson Day background" section of MLB's official press release about Jackie Robinson just notes that he was a first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers who debuted in 1947. Nothing about the how, the why.

Not a joke. Probably the first Oilers game I have fell asleep during…. maybe ever? Granted, I was tired, but man. You’ve hit the nail on the head. This team feels weird.

I feel bad for Skinner. If Kapanen is in the lineup over him in the playoffs, that’ll be a substantial red flag for KK.

It’s a lot, unfortunately. Additionally, that’s now 23/45 games with a save percentage of less than .900 for skinner.

Only 2/11 games has he gone north of .900.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

A hockey game where fans are sitting in the stands and we see them from the back. One guy is wearing a red jersey that says Never 51.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Walk in, order a pastrami sandwich.

"What kinda bread?"

"Rye. No, fuck, banana. You got banana bread back there?"

"What kinda cheese?"

"Cottage."

"Get the fuck out! I'm not makin' a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich! That would severely ruin my reputation!"

How in the hell is that a penalty at all? Two minutes to Ekholm for body checking.

Based on the inaction in DC, apparently this is the only way Senators will defeat Predators.

YouTube video by CNN Canadian MP fires back after Trump says he wants Canada to be 51st state

Explaining to CNN the economic chaos that Donald Trump is about to unleash on his own people. We will never break or concede to an erratic thug who seems like Al Capone in his syphilitic phase trying to pull a shakedown.

Painful to watch the Chiefs and how much the refs go out of their way to help them. Every time Mahomes is touched he is looking at the refs, pathetic!!!
