As a Red Sox fan, I can confirm that he would frequently get himself knocked out of the game forthwith.

I also think that "withdrew his name" is often code for "didn't get a second interview".

Robert Kraft not making the Hall of Fame is fine. And it happens every year! the bar for an owner to make it should be ludicrously high like changing the sport.

(No, Jerry Jones shouldn't have made it either)

In 2012, Philly.(com) hosted a happy hour for local bloggers. I didn’t know anyone, but everyone there knew everyone else. Maybe Dan sensed that (?), so he shot the shit w/me & introduced me to some others including the sports editor who eventually gave me my first big break. He was the nicest dude.

Hannibal Buress on Bill Cosby: 'You're a Rapist' Comedian Hannibal Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist in a bit at the Trocadero on Thursday night. Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

We've revived the long-gone video that McQuade took of Hannibal Buress back in 2014, the video that literally changed history.

Why, does this letter that you have specifically mention the Gestapo. Let's see

Will never forget the "promotion" of James Urban from QB Coach to "assistant offensive coordinator" when actually he was fired.

Not to be that guy, but Google uses your prior search history data when coming up with autocomplete. "Jewish" isn't part of my autocomplete terms for Tom Nook.

Andy Reid wasn't asked to call plays for a Super Bowl caliber team until year 3, and also had support from an OC who did have play calling experience at the NFL level. That's not where we think we are.

They don't need mere competence. They need someone innovative and risk-taking.

Even setting declining roster quality aside, the issue many of us have had with the offense for years is it feels like by using a vanilla system, they're underperforming their talent. It seems clear to me that they need someone to think creatively to maximize the talent that is actually on the team.

Weekend Update: Tommy Brennan on Trump's ICE Deployments in Minnesota - SNL
YouTube video by Saturday Night Live Weekend Update: Tommy Brennan on Trump's ICE Deployments in Minnesota - SNL

While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast.

But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.

The #Packers are the NFC's # 7 seed for the 3rd year in row.

Since playoff seeding began in 1975, this is the first time in either conference that a team is the lowest seeded playoff team for 3 straight years.

With MFA app deadline coming up, I've been getting lots of emails from prospective students about the state the Rutgers-Camden program; please note that we are once again FULLY funded, with strong assurances of continued full funding moving forward. We're not going anywhere.

Folks should be very careful on Tuesday to not spread rumors or AI slop. No one should deter voters from showing up.

But if you *do* see something, document it. Take pictures and video. And then lawyers like me can take all necessary steps to protect voters from intimidation.

What does $45.5 million of dead money do? Well, currently, Eagles have $82.1 million in dead money in 2025 and $43.0 million in 2026. Layering AJ's $45.5 million on top of the 2026 number is manageable. Now, that will go up when Goedert’s deal voids, etc, but point is that it’s par for the course.

If traded after June 1, it will leave $16.4 million dead money on the cap in 2026, a reduction of $7.0 million from his current cap hit, and $29.2 million of dead money in 2027.

If traded before June 1, it will leave $45.5 million dead money on the cap in 2026, in increase of $22.2 million over his current 2026 cap hit.
