Ok, I will admit that Ohtani hitting 3 homers and striking out 10 guys in 6 shutout innings is nearly as exciting as Joel Embiid playing in one preseason game.

Say it with me: Left Joe Flacco too much time

"Throw the ball to Ja'Marr Chase 20 times" feels like a good strategy for any QB who hasn't had much practice time with the Bengals

I am 38 years old, and this might be the last NFL game I ever watch where both starting QBs are older than me.

One way to improve your BlueSky experience is to follow The MMQB and read about the NFL.

I haven’t played video games in a long time so maybe this is normal, but my 10-year-old created a minor league baseball player in The Show who just struck out three times in a game and is now bummed out in his hotel room?

If the Dodgers just rip through to the title, I don’t know that it would make me feel any better about the Phillies, but it might make the series not look as bad. (You can debate whether that’s a meaningful distinction.)

It’s very funny to live in this timeline where somehow kickers are too good but also a bunch of field goals get blocked every week. Keeps things interesting.

Sixers say goodbye to Hip-Hop | 6abc Philadelphia | 6abc.com The Philadelphia 76ers announced Tuesday that the team is replacing its longtime rabbit mascot, Hip-Hop.

From 2011: "In a statement written with younger fans in mind, the team explained that Hip-Hop informed the team's new ownership group that he has fallen in love, married and will relocate to a rural part of Pennsylvania to start a family."

The thing about the Bengals trading for Flacco a few weeks before the deadline is that they can still trade for Jameis.

The Dolphins went on a 13-play, 82-yard go-ahead TD drive that only gave them a chance to suffer a worse loss than if they’d done nothing with the ball.

The Mariners are finally going back to the ALCS for the first time since 2001 (which by the way was more recent than the Cowboys’ last NFC title game)

Well that game rocked and a Mariners-Blue Jays ALCS is cool. Goodnight everyone.
