Happy birdhat!

21st century Eiji Sawamura vibes.

Those all sound yummy.

Where do y’all curl again?

Don’t kink shame. 🙃

Yeah going to sporting events on your own is fantastic. I like going with people, but sometimes just doing it on your own and being able to explore is a unique experience!

Great showing by the Charg… er… uh… oops.

The Atlantic League did this yonks ago.

BREAKING: People who have been complaining about the umpires for decades mad that the solution worked too well

I’m gonna miss curling when the season ends.

Robert Kraft exists.

Centimetre perfect: Remembering the life of Dennis Cometti The football world has been left 'misty-optically' in the wake of the death of legendary broadcaster Dennis Cometti.

Legendary broadcaster Dennis Cometti’s passing has left us all misty-optically. @daanysaeed.bsky.social pays tribute. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/05/v...

My favorite one is when a player went in after a ball and he got poked in the eye:

“He went in optimistically and came out misty optically.”

You mean John Goodman in The Babe didn’t do it for you?

(If not that’s valid, didn’t really do it for me either, and I saw it — for free — the week before it came out.)

Ooof

As much as I owe to Hart, Kalas and Emrick for inspiring me to go into play by play; Dennis Cometti, who passed last night, is one of the guys who helped shaped who I was when I got there.

If you’re American and have never heard of him — enjoy 12 minutes of absolute bangers:

So about an hour ago, my wife texted me to ask about a large explosion sound she heard; she thought something fell on the house or off of the house.

Turns out it was a building explosion in New Jersey, like 10 miles away.

We need a movie about Moe Berg.

We also need one about Howard Ehmke.

Extra practice.

Oh get absolutely fucked.

These cretins who, in 2026, have instituted a trans athlete ban and who have yet to apologize for the shitshow that was the aftermath of the men’s gold medal game.

This is so tone deaf I can’t stand it.

“Oh brother!”

“Actually Whitey, they’re not related.”

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Are they not affiliated with the county Rec board?

The things people get riled up against. Good lord.

We were last there in December of 2021. Laser Wolf is good, but that should’ve been the one that died and not Abe.

Abe Fisher. Had the best meal of my life there (Montreal short rib, latkes, matzo ball soup, and bacon egg cream for desert)

The Fadó here is good. I’ve watched so much soccer there. (And also hosted a live podcast!)

More Music and Les Miserables.

Beat me to it.
