Punting is the new football version of bunting? Only dumb teams do it? Only do it if the other option is handing the other team the ball in their own field goal range?

The Bears took a punter 122nd overall just last year.

Football rules are so dumb. TJ Edwards would never have been awarded a catch at the time the defender touched him, so it was actually offensive pass interference before that β€œtackle.”

He broke the plane with the ball in his hand. Give that man a touchdown, stupid Bengals.

Smoltz mystified about how many times the Dodgers’ leadoff man bats with the bases empty

Sherlock Smoltz figures out that Ohtani prefers pitching out of the windup.

I hate rooting for the Dodgers but I want to see a game 7. One more day of baseball, please.

This guy had an interview about his authentic self conducted in Hemingway’s Key West writing studio because he wrote a book. Then the interview moved to the Vegas Sphere.

I just realized β€œthe baseball diamond” from The Great Muppet Caper is a pun. For 44 years, I’ve been awestruck by this diamond because it’s the size of a baseball.

All of the non-Dodgers playoff series have been pretty good.

Rooting for the Dodgers is rooting for no baseball in 2027

Montez Sweat is tougher to find than that illegal formation penalty.

I started with no rooting interest, but Tarik Skubal had the stuff that makes October baseball awesome. I wanted more of that.

Alex Faust and Ron Darling can’t decide if this is what happens because the team leading 2 games to 0 feels more pressure, or if only 7 teams in 30 years have come back from being down 2-0.

The true narrative is the one with the stat.

The Cubs’ flop made me flip the channel to this fun Chiefs/Jags finish. That was a win.

I’ll probably never be convinced that Andrew Vaughan doesn’t suck. But I’m pretty sure the White Sox don’t know what they’re doing.

The lineup has no holes. No underdogs to root for. Every run scored is boring.

I like watching great hitters but not too many of them.

I don’t hate the individuals on the Dodgers but the sum of their parts is very hate-able.

The Packers defense should’ve committed 3rd down pass interference and person fouls for the final 3 minutes of the game. The Joe Flacco Browns never would’ve scored a TD and the game would be over.

I was reading a public library book on the train this afternoon, and I stumbled upon a Donald Trump mention in Bill Bryson’s 1989 book β€œThe Lost Continent.”

Should I alert Florida schools? Where is the book burning?

Changing β€œDepartment of Defense” to β€œDepartment of War” is the definition of making the rhetoric more aggressive.
