I love these tiny nations qualifying for the World Cup but it's gonna make for some ugly games next summer.

Curacao through to the World Cup

Marcelo Hernandez as Sebastian Maniscalco was fabulous if extremely niche. I imagine Marcelo has been holding on to that impression for awhile. I’m glad they went for it.

The audio in the Bradley-San Francisco game is intermittently going out and when it does the score bug also disappears so it’s just like watching a pick up game at your local gym.

OK first to score wins the Minnesota-UW Green Bay game

Ope, Nope! Doug still alive!

Doug with a chance to do the funniest thing ever to Minnesota sports.

Working to make pizza somewhat t2 diabetes friendly. Rolling a 167g dough ball to 12 inches will definitely cut down on carbs. Tavern style ftw

I’m not usually one to ask for good vibes, juju, or prayers if you are so inclined, but of all the creatures in the world who are deserving of vibes/juju/prayers, it’s dogs. And this one, Tula, could use all you got. Our vet found a big (for a chihuahua mix) abdominal tumor on xray this week.

Ken might want a redo

Biked past a central waters commercial shoot on my way home from work tonight.

I have not watched a Monday night football game in perhaps years. I am shocked to find Chris Berman is still doing his halftime schtick. Really? Still?

Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the Dems turn the wins in to losses?

I’m trying to think of the equivalent in other sports where both touchdown drives that occurred in the game combined to account for <10 yards. 2 own goals? Dueling bases loaded walks?

Whoever played “The Lady in Red” on touchtunes at the bar I’m at and then yelled at his friends to “respect the lady in red” is my new hero.

The big 10 is going to end up with 3 ranked teams and they will be like 1, 2 and 5 in the playoff 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got some cash for my birthday, looking up upgrade my cookware. So many #influncer ads on socials for non-Teflon coating non-stick pans. I’ve done a lot of research and watched comparison videos that seem non-biased. Leaning towards Misen. Anyone with real home cook recommendations?

Too much Braden and Fletcher for Oakland.

Wut?

Well done, timeline @sickoscommittee.org @bracketdobber.net

Nice to see most bikes with lights while riding to the east side tonight. Also nice to see most folks have gone away from the strobe light effect and are using steady beams. Just gotta remember to aim them down slightly as to not blind your fellow riders.

Started watching college basketball almost 15 hours ago.

We have a potential 100 point spread Weber State 116-27 over West Coast Baptist with 7:10 left.

Watching UW-Milwaukee and seeing my oldest and current UWM freshman sitting behind the bench working as a student manager is pretty damn cool.

Tula is already in need of a nap but we are locked in for game 2. Go Bradley!

We are so back!!

Coffee and Queens.

The Packers, they said, their big game hopes dead, when the fails of November come early.

Which opening day men’s college basketball matchup are you looking forward to most tomorrow? I’ll start.

Turned on the packers game, 10 minutes of real time and there has been a field goal and a kickoff.

Today is the last day without a college basketball game save for dec24-25 (RIP Diamond Classic) until the Monday after selection Sunday.

I was not watching (I was playing online Catan) but I keep seeing these dramatic photos of a guy sliding in to home on a forced play. Sliding into first base has largely been debunked so why not run thru when coming home? Was this discussed?

~2500 games to determine that, again, the team that spends the most usually wins.

Manifested by Cubs fans

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone

Bike commute was scenic this morning

19.2 is the new #solobomber

There’s a few YouTube videos of Jack white’s set at CBGB Fest floating around. Worth your time if you like to rock.

The BJ’s are cooked because a sport that has been around for 150 years allows its officials to have unique ways to announce the most basic calls in the game.

I’m starting on a GLP-1 injection medication tomorrow (err today technically) due to a new type 2 diabetes diagnosis, so tonight I’m having a farewell Jack’s. I should’ve broken up with Jack years ago but here we are. I don’t know when the last time was that I had a Jack’s earlier than 10 pm.

Saturday morning work views

Good morning.

Watching Brandi Carlile doing a Veeps livestream is giving Covid vibes but holy shit they just covered Radiohead High & Dry and it was fucking amazing.

The last couple of days reaffirmed my divestment from sports. I let the brewers creep back in to my orbit but between Milwaukee Karen threatening ICE to the dodgers fan who was recording himself trolling brewers fans, to the cubs fans coming after me in DMs because of a flag, it’s all so dumb.

It’s just mind boggling that the cubs gave up more runs to the brewers in the first 9 at bats of game 1 than the dodgers gave up to then the entire series.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation.

No, YOU’RE watching a replay of the Bradley vs UW-Green Bay exhibition game from last Saturday, unconfirmed to be the first televised game of the 2025-2026 NCAA hoops season. @mid-majormadness.bsky.social

Blue jays catcher might want to protect deez nutz a little more than they appear to be in that slo mo
