I've got a special kind of appreciation for Camp Lo, a group I love despite understanding only like 17% of the words they're saying in their songs

sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying

I don't know when the next time there will be a job approval poll for Jared Polis, but I think he'd be flirting with sub-20 numbers. his Twitter mentions are all people on the left (rightfully) criticizing him for the Peters decision and people on the right spewing sewer-grade homophobia

Andy Barr ran one of the most nakedly racist campaigns I've ever seen at any level of politics in my life, so, naturally, he's going to be a US Senator in eight months

when life imitates Always Sunny

Tottenham-Chelsea might be the rare instance where it's a Mad Men "I don't think about you at all" relationship, but it's the club with less historical success and prestige playing the Don Draper role most of my Chelsea fans say Spurs are their most hated team when Chelsea is like fifth on my list

ready for this Massie primary to be over because this is way more attention than anyone should ever have to pay to northern Kentucky

this dude's got zero juice and, short of his boss croaking, will never be president. you can be smug and become president. you can be an asshole and become president. you can be a dweeb and become president I don't know if you can be a smug asshole AND a dweeb and be elected president

as someone who covered that Pitt search, I thought this exchange between Jeff Goodman and Dan Hurley on a recent Field of 68 podcast interview was interesting everything I was ever told during that search was Pitt put forth a serious offer but was always playing from behind

heard Dance Monkey playing while I was out grocery shopping today and it has a pretty strong argument as one of the 10 or so worst songs of this century

it will never happen, but I'd love for The Rewatchables to do "Cars" because I've watched it about 20,000 times with my three-year-old son and boy, are there some nits to pick

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

average SEC softball lineup

Spurs only need a point in their final two games to avoid relegation...and even if they don't do that, as long as West Ham loses to Leeds, relegation hell will be over surely, nothing can go wrong

when he spoke at my graduation 14 years ago, he told us to turn off our phones and connect with people we love

I understand the push to try to get top college athletes not to play at SEC schools in states with regressive laws, but the problems this country is facing go beyond that conference and region. like you might want to look into the state that's home to college football's current national champion

I've always just kind of accepted that Polis is a Reddit-brained weirdo who gets off on being a contrarian, but if he actually believes Tina Peters has even an ounce of remorse, he's a complete buffoon. or just completely spineless. or all of the above

for a career 7.8 points per game scorer, I see and hear way too much about Sophie Cunningham

Tony Hinchcliffe has shitty politics, but let's also not forget he's painfully unfunny

can tell a lot of these culture war types have lost their fastball when they're trying to make a big deal out of who will be playing Achilles, someone who is mentioned only a small handful of times in The Odyssey

the number of people on Twitter I've seen defending this or insisting this is perfectly normal is embarrassing

Of all the people to complain about businesses being “forced” to leave Seattle….

whatever consultant on the Harris campaign told Tim Walz to stop calling these people weird will never see heaven

love watching Tottenham cough up two desperately needed points at home because one of their midfielders did something I learned not to do playing U14 club soccer

unsubscribed from the LeBatard Show on my podcast feed. I listened to that show almost daily for about a decade, so it felt weird, but it had gotten to the point where it felt like going to a concert for a band you loved where the only original member left was the bass player

AJ Dybantsa realizing he (probably) finally gets to leave the state of Utah

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group Arsenal Football Club. you do, in the middle of Spurs' intense relegation battle against West Ham, "gotta hand it to them"

who the fuck is paying to see Meghan Trainor in concert in 2026?

wrote about Mark Pope and Kentucky's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad offseason for this week's newsletter it's getting late early for a man at a place that doesn't have much patience or tolerance for losers

me throughout Murder in Glitterball City

the party of machismo doesn't think it could beat up an 80-year-old man who never exercises and subsists entirely on fast food

I've seen about a million side-by-side pictures of Alex Cooper and Alix Earle and I genuinely can't tell which one is which

It's been a weird week, but I'm thankful reporters nationwide like @riddhisetty.bsky.social are covering what's happening at the Post-Gazette. It's a shame the @thebaltimorebanner.com execs have already disrespected the city's people, history and culture in their approach to this transition.

"Arsenal are in control" what a cursed set of four words

yet again snubbed by the Pulitzer board. the wait continues

it's very easy to see on Derby Day who's had a good mint julep in their lives and who hasn't. they're enjoyable cocktails that are great to have more than just one day a year

a few years ago, Black coaches were being hired at a dizzying rate in college basketball. like so many other things in this country, that has backslid after the latest carousel, only 13.9% of Power 5 head coaches are Black, lower than it was 34 years ago a look at a disheartening trend

between Shilo and Puka Nacua, I think we can start diagnosing CTE in living football players based on whether they've gone on an Adin Ross stream

nothing but respect for Jaden McDaniels. he backed up his words with his play, to put it mildly, and he was absolutely right with what he said. this is a soft-ass Nuggets team (that's poorly coached, to boot)

I would say the Nuggets should hire Todd Golden, but Ball Arena's across the street from a college campus

the Dallas Stars have been eliminated from the playoffs

I voted for him in the 2016 primary, but Bernie truly gave rise to some of the dumbest and worst people in modern American politics who are left of center

you've got a lot of people in the Trump 2.0 orbit who play assholes on TV (like Vance and Patel, who suck away from the camera, too) Hegseth is the one who stands out as the most genuinely asshole-ish. like you could do a factory reset on the dude and he'd come out of it just like this

I'm thankful these people have seen the error of their ways, but any NYT focus group on regretful Trump voters really highlights that the average swing voter -- the people who swing elections and determine the fate of this country -- is dumber than a sack of wrenches

after Cam Johnson got a 3 and a transition dunk, Grant Hill said that while he went to North Carolina, he's playing like he's at Pitt in the Pete not gonna lie, man, I've got zero idea what he's talking about

it's 2026, man. I shouldn't be having to read these many headlines about Kid Rock

for this week's newsletter, I ranked the 13 worst men's college basketball coaching hires this century Kenny Payne and Kevin Stallings weren't even No. 1!

amazingly, Nico Harrison wasn't the worst decision-maker in the Mavericks facility while he was there
