Stubbed is too polite a term for what I did to my right middle toe at my friend’s place yesterday. Rammed and excruciatingly sprained it more accurately describes what happened.

This has the possibility of producing an absolutely hilarious and totally non-representative result. And I'm totally here for it, because NASCAR's playoff structure is a load of it.

California museum's collection looted: Over 1,000 items stolen in early morning heist Police in California are investigating the theft of over 1,000 items from the Oakland Museum of California.

This remark is based on this hitting the headlines:

The issue with the Louvre jewel theft isn't that it happened or the priceless gems and items that were taken. They were never going to get away with it. The issue is that every two-bit copycat has realized that museums worldwide are full of valuable objects and are super soft targets for theft.

MGM CEO regrets summer pricing, including $26 water bottle fiasco Las Vegas tourism fell sharply this summer, with visitors down 11 percent in June and 6.7 percent in August year-over-year

The fixes here are far simpler than the casino operators think they are. It starts with simple gestures like permanent free parking for locals, and ends with lowering prices and cutting fees across the board. Make Vegas a good value again, especially for locals.

I hope one of the future residences of the now-former Duke of York is a cold and damp jail cell.

The Oilers are not winning a Stanley Cup with Stuart Skinner as their first option in net. With the clock ticking on McDavid’s time there, it’s time to find a new netminder.

The Carolina Hurricanes have to ecstatic that they won’t see the Golden Knights again in the regular season.

Will Klein is forgiven for the near-unforgivable sin of being a Dodgers postseason hero.

If you are the asshole at the gym that leaves equipment all over the place and doesn’t bother re-racking your weights, kindly fuck off. Why is it always a person who was doing glute bridges on the Smith machine????

Oh, you like baseball huh?
Well, we’re going to sit here while you smoke this whole pack of baseball and THEN we’ll see how you feel.

Slops for reminding me of Elvis Grbac.

Fall in Las Vegas:

This. This ended up being far more worse than a muscle strain. It turned out to be an actual health issue (of which I won’t totally disclose here) that is being addressed and managed by my doctor and me.

The N.Y. Rangers are winless at Madison Square Garden this season. The Sharks are winless period. One of these teams is getting off the schneid tonight.

People in Nevada keep whining about NVEnergy all over the place. I'm going to be honest: I lived in Texas, I have seen what a deregulated energy market looks like, and it is not as customer friendly as they think it is. If those folks think they pay a lot now ...

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

I love Schmid’s game and I’m hoping he proves himself a capable 1A or 1B option in next in this stretch.

I feel really bad for Nic Roy. He got traded from a coach and a system that loved his talent and knew how to make the most of it, to one that has no clue how to use his abilities and doesn't seem to appreciate it one bit.

The Hockey Guy made note of the fact that the Avalanche will wear Nordiques jerseys when they play the Hurricanes, who will wear Whalers jerseys. In a year full of offensive indignities, this is easily the most offensive of them all.

That’s fewer people than it takes to fill the stadium. Who cares about these dumb babies?

While I don’t like who they signed, tonight’s injury to Adin Hill (and all the previous ones) are why Carter Hart is here. The Knights started five goalies in their Stanley Cup season, and needed every single one of them. Here’s hoping they don’t actually need Hart and Schmid locks the net down.

The dream is dead. Baseball season is over.

Someone has to take the blame for the Raiders pathetic performance this week. I see Carroll and Co. making many personnel changes during the bye week.

Hey AP, I don’t know what your fee is to your members is exactly, but it certainly includes doing a lot better than this.

The Calgary Flames have to be better than this, right?

Is Wolf being hung out to dry here, is he playing poorly, or are the Knights just feeling it tonight?

This is what I want to see.

The Sacramento Kings feel like they are going to be a mess this year, and not the funny kind.

Pope Leo XIV trolls Cubs at Vatican: ‘Han perdido! They lost!’ Pope Leo XIV’s brother previously confirmed that the pontiff’s loyalties lie with the Chicago White Sox rather than the Cubs

There are a lot of things to like about Pope Leo. His unabashed baseball fandom is my favorite.
