Grim but fair. Baseball for the USA Today.
if you asked
#Dodgers
fans you can have Kyle Tucker but it would mean renaming the place after Uniqlo, a large majority would say no thanks. Of course that's not how it works but you know.

Netflix had a clean MLB Opening Day broadcast with big-name talent, but the streaming giant pushed a bit too hard.

At least this year, Kyle Tucker did not dislodge Juan Soto as the highest-paid player in
#MLB
, per the league's calculations. A look at the 76 players making at least $20 million - and did Anthony Rendon land in the top 5?

It's challenging to feel like your consumer habits make a difference in any tangible way (Amazon seems to be doing just fine without my business), yet one thing that feels like a real impact is subscribing to a publication after clicking on a specific story. The pubs love those

They been paying Dwayne Johnson north of $20M to be the same person in different movies. They can pay $18M for a Oscar winner who played different people in one movie. Cut the check.

it is not easy to pitch on back-to-back nights in mid-March but Eduard Bazardo did a lovely job of it right there.

when news organizations are passing on a "March Madness snubs" file for "you know what, pretty much everyone got in that was deserving," it's more evidence than needed that expanding this thing is a sad money grab.

Kids, the sports/entertainment calendar has shifted. Back in '82, the Oscars lined up with the national championship game. Toggling between Patrick Ewing swatting shit into the Superdome rafters and On Golden Pond propaganda. Jordan hitting that jumper just as Chariots of Fire triumphed. Wild.

A small crew in Greenfield CA is pruning grapevines. This field is almost done and they only have the last two rows left to finish, which is why they're all standing so close together.

The Team USA hardo handshake policy is even richer when you watch the body language of dudes not in the game in the ninth inning of a 5-3 knockout situation - laughing and shrugging and looking hella detached. Like mid-March in Clearwater. So which is it?

So much of (cis, straight) white American “culture” is just not thinking about your own identity and conforming to expectations to preserve the white supremacist patriarchy, and that’s how Morgan Wallen, Vineyard Vines, etc. have a market.
