All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

some light reading for the Notre Dame-BC game today... i recently spoke with Jeremiyah Love about his Heisman elevator pitch, his relationship with CJ Carr and why he'd compare himself to Jahmyr Gibbs. "I can do some spectacular things, but I'm also that team guy." ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

god this rules so hard. @mmartinelli.bsky.social got pretty much everyone from the play but Jim Harbaugh on record. even the surrender cobra guy!!! ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

my latest project for @forthewin.bsky.social, an oral history of "Trouble with the Snap" — the infamous 2015 Michigan-Michigan State game. "A really surreal, emotional moment." "You're just shocked." "It still gives me goosebumps to this day." ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Wrote this when Texas A&M paid Jimbo Fisher more than $77 million to go away. Still true!

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

how disgusting and unnecessary. begging men to be normal just once.

still don't understand how SJSU's official name is "San Jose State" and SDSU is "San Diego State" but Fresno State is actually "Cal State Fresno" & Sac State is actually "Cal State Sacramento" and Cal States Fullerton & Bernardino have to use their government names

i chatted with Deion Sanders about his new-look Colorado team, why he's happy not coaching his sons anymore, and beating cancer. "We may not have the lightning strikes that we had last year, but we're still going to cause a storm because we have a better team." ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

The year is 2035. Max Scherzer is 51 years old. He is stomping around the mound like a maniac.

Hawaii's kicker learned how to kick from watching Youtube in Japan, this is the greatest college football team ever already

“Defend the District” protest and Go-Go concert against Trump’s takeover at 14th and U St:

The merger of the NFL and ESPN had nothing to do with the network shelving a documentary about Colin Kaepernick. Sure. And somewhere around here there’s a bridge I’d like to sell you.

I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram.

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

I wrote about the WNBA and dildogate for Andscape: “By using the sex toy to make their point, the stunt becomes more than just an annoyance or a danger during play — it becomes a sexualized threat to the women on the court, an allusion to violence that can keep them in their place.”

The people behind the sex toys at WNBA games is an unlikely source: crypto traders. USA TODAY tracked down the group and started with several questions, but perhaps most important: WHY?

The cryptobros behind the sex objects being thrown at WNBA games should know that only weak men demean women. And anyone pulling a stunt like this is clearly trying to compensate for … something. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

@princegrimes.bsky.social cooked. This is nasty work.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Bubba Wallace becoming the first Black driver to win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a long-awaited milestone. Black drivers were once banned from competing at the Indy 500. #NASCAR www.jalopnik.com/even-the-kla...

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

absolutely A+ CFB analysis from @schustee.bsky.social ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Honestly a Great Shortstop Bakeoff might do more to promote the game’s top personalities than the ASG does.

this is the way

in the last 365 days the florida panthers have won the stanley cup twice and florida state university has won a football game twice

The em dash supposedly being a “tell” for AI generated text does sort of give away the game on the enormous amount of work stolen from journalists and news organizations that these things were trained on

"Is she gay or does she just coach women's basketball?" is one of my favorite bits on the internet.

wanna know how i know llms heavily trained on the work of journalists…

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Trump’s ugly rhetoric on transgender athletes puts a child in harm’s way. How can anybody be OK with that? www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

"My life is just going to be a bit more complete," Alex Palou told me after winning the Indy 500 yesterday. "But this doesn't change everything. We still want more — we want a second one, we want more championships, we want more wins." ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I just love the various celebrations you see over the years; Newgarden jumping into the crowd, Helio climbing the fence, Palou running down the frontstretch. Images that endure in the most incredible way
