This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Dogs are incredible.

This is such a nonsensical, indefensible hot take that I almost want to block you so as to avoid future offenses.

Goddamn, it's so dumb and delightful and great.

Happy birthday, lovely boy. ❀️ I'm so so so glad he's getting better.

Totally unrelated, what the hell was your "Chaise Longue" parody? I have a hankerin' and can't fins it.

Worst winning percentages in the last ten calendar years among all CFL, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and WNBA teams:

1. New York Jets - .319
2. New York Giants - .336

Amazing that one stadium can host so much futility.

How, exactly, do you want an algorithm to quantify "baserunner out due to stupidity?" Wegner very clearly did a strike signal and said "strike", and it's not like Bo was required to leave first base early. It was an awful call, but your request for "clarification" is meaningless.

I live in Rep. Jeffries's district. I have had a conversation with him in which he came off as very personable, and I genuinely felt that he listened to me.

I would vote against him in a primary against just about any progressive candidate.

I have done many hundreds of ESPN+ broadcasts in my life. We've had total power outages, sure, and MAYBE I've seen camera settings reach air, but never something like this.

What an exceptional, fascinating factoid. This is exactly why Supper Mario Broth is such an awesome resource.

The season Jim Tobin hit 3 HR in a game, he was worth 1.8 WAR with his bat and 0.4 WAR with his arm, while leading the majors in home runs allowed.

I love that.

I'm now rereading my own article, and you know what? It's fucking GREAT. Even though it was a draining experience, and even though it didn't lead to any other writing opportunities, I'm so proud of how it turned out.

Every Single Olympic Eventβ€”All 339 of Themβ€”Ranked From Worst to Best Psst. The big gymnastics all-around is not No. 1. (Sorry, Simone!)

When I wrote my Olympics magnum opus that @slate.com was kind enough to publish, I essentially wanted to create a more grounded-in-reality version of what Tyler accomplished here. I'm thrilled to say that- with editing guidance- I got at least partway there.

I could go on for AGES about this article, but in summation: @tylerparker.bsky.social packed in dozens and dozens of hilarious paragraphs that some writers could spend years trying to get right without nailing. Most people would be elated to have come up with even one of them.

Legitimately, the "Sixers drafting Orioles" thing was my favorite sports factoid looooooong before RTG. Definitely something I've randomly told sports-loving friends to impress them.

Non-controversial take: "That Thing You Do!" is one of the most perfect pop songs ever written.

Controversial (but true) take: It's not my favorite song by the Wonders. #ThatThingYouDo

2024-25 average NHL attendance: 17,542
2024-25 average NBA attendance: 18,147
2024 average MLS attendance: 23,234

"But their stadiums have way more seats!" OK, you still have to convince people that it's worth buying tickets to a game.

#MLS is a first-class league in the US, plain and simple.

If @mls.bsky.social's official stats are correct, Maximiliano FalcΓ³n of @intermiamicf.bsky.social became the 15th player in MLS history to record a game of 60+ passes with a 100% completion percentage last night.

But on FBRef, he was 59-for-60, not 63-for-63. Weird. #MaxiFalcon #Stats

Imagine the most hatable team in American sports history unlocking one of the biggest ways they could ever be hated. Astonishing.

Thanks to @lisahanawalt.bsky.social for creating one of the funniest, sweetest shows in recent memory, and thanks to my wife for putting together the picture that now hangs on our front door. #TucaandBertie #Speckle

Hell, I had an absolute blast at the @secretbase.bsky.social screening last week. Scorigami is such a wonderfully unique aspect of football. #scorigami

My favorite thing about NFL season, by a wide margin, is scorigami.

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that "Psychonauts 2"- a game I love that's a sequel to another game I love- has some of the absolute worst boss fights I've ever experienced in a video game. And not just one or two of them- a large majority are awful.
