Ah, why use the cliched “deep” when you can sound smarter in your 28 word apositive phrase with a word that really doesn’t make sense if you think about it — but the length of the phrase is so long that readers will get lost and never notice.

That Williams-to-Kmet play goes right up there with the Endy Chavez catch for best plays in a devastating loss.

Not sure I’ve laughed harder in years than Mullaney’s bit about the Wharf v National Harbor.

It’s kind of insane that Caleb Williams had this impressive of a season and is still going to be at best the fourth QB from his draft class to get to a Conference Championship game.

What a schism.

Boooooooooo

Should of gone for two

Oh my god!

Ordinarily I’d say they should go for two if they score. But given the conditions and the maybe iffy chances on a long field goal… kick it and see what happens?

Screenshot bc I don’t want to engage. But perfect illustration of the models. Is it accounting for conditions? Is it properly adjusting for opposition? Is it looking at just high pressure situations or assuming scenario same as week 2? Etc.

What makes it unique? It’s cash to a major leaguer.

Just what I’m subscribing for.

Buffalo Bills head coach Mike Tomlin.

Thought there was a less than 5% chance that would go in.

No GM was ever called a genius for paying market rate for players.

Intentionally?

I really don’t know why you’d want Kyle Tucker at $60 million per when you could have Jacob Young at $2M per.

No player should make that much money. Not because the owners should either. But because the gross amounts of money those two sides split come from milking fans and catering to corporations and firms that further drive up prices for fans.

Highest paid Nat would be what…. 12-15 on the Dodgers?

Hmm

Somehow throwing all my money on the Steelers to win this weekend.

Law of Cardinals Conservation applies.

$99 for a full season of Nats baseball is a pretty good deal though. I wonder when they’re going to wire me my check though.

If there’s one thing I think of when I think about him it’s definitely that iconic confident gait.

Gross.

I’ll still argue that the Nats would’ve beaten the Dodgers if they had the guts to start him in game one.

Divine with a bobble poo.

I feel like this is the way to handle these ghouls. Not with despair but with mockery. Whole populations of Somalians and Hmong handle a Minnesota winter better than this fuggin dorks.

TRAINER: "Josh, how many fingers am I holding up?" JOSH ALLEN: "purple!" TRAINER: "OK he's good to go"

Funniest short form video since Sasso and the lemons?

So glad I picked this to be the one hockey game I’ve caught in like two months.

😭

Life hack: if, on your way home Friday night after a long week at work, you stop at the ABC store in the same plaza as Aldi, you can, after dumping the bottle off at your car, use the booze bag to bag your sad family dinner.

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.

appreciated this perspective from Liz Franczak in Embedded today: embedded.substack.com/p/my-interne...

You think you know how I’d answer this. But I reject the premise of the first question in that case.

Does Adam Peters have Mike Rizzo’s eye for talent? Amazed at how little scrutiny he’s gotten.

Still don’t know why nobody does a soccer-style live league table for the playoff spots.

Really getting sick and tired of the Yankees buying their way to titles and hoarding all the good players.

Several hours later and there hasn’t been anything that has made me think that the primary goal of this was anything but to make war-flavored content to make the people it the room look “strong” and “lethal” with no real thought about what comes next.

Surprised at the discussion of the ambiguity of the end of Marty Supreme. I think the key to unlocking the final scene is realizing what his reaction in the scene prior was, after all that.

Peak.

Problem with the MLB thing is that once you go that path it’s probably hard to go another way later. And once you do that, what’s Bone Saw Ted’s interest going to be?

Whatever happens here they’re highly likely to take a big haircut on revenue. They didn’t know how good they had it under MASN.
