999 receiving yards for Jaxon Smith-Njigba!

The Trump administration choosing to appeal a court decision ordering it to fully fund SNAP benefits seems like an even worse idea after they actually had to put their “arguments” in writing. The cruelty is the point.

Surprised and disappointed that Nneka Ogwumike has signed on for this new league with substantial Saudi Arabian financial backing. This article is well worth a read. “This opportunity (for W players) comes with considerable disadvantages that affect the core of what their fans stand for.”

A victory for sandwich guy! “The jury — which feasted on sandwiches for lunch Thursday, according to a person familiar with jury lunches — deliberated the charges for several hours Wednesday and Thursday before delivering the verdict.”

Whoever is in charge of ad placement on Truth Social is doing the lord’s work. Toilet stain, indeed.

Interesting… I’m still feeling excited about sho the Storm ended up with. I really think Sonia Raman could be the next Natalie Nakase.

This is my kind of lawyering! -The agent said the sandwich “exploded” on him- he felt it strike through his ballistic vest. Atty Shroff showed a photo of the sandwich on the ground, almost entirely in its wrapper, after it struck the agent. “In fact that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all,” she said.

❤️ Bobby Wagner.

I feel like Dan Quinn will be giving this same tip in the Commanders locker room right about now. Meanwhile, Seahawks looking like they have barely broken a sweat.

Doing a snort of coke openly in the middle of a football game is such a weird look. (I know it’s not actually cocaine)

Whenever I see a celebrity suddenly in a ton of commercials, I assume they are putting kids through college. I’m looking at you, Jennifer Garner and Kevin Hart.

I just love these Seahawks throwback uniforms. Anyone know what their win record is while wearing them?

“The GOP’s greatest con has convinced Americans that what is holding them back economically is not the rich with their tax lawyers and loopholes; rather, it’s the poor, who might buy junk food with food stamps. It’s not the people hoarding billions; it’s the people sleeping on the sidewalks.”

Sending people to foreign torture prisons, murdering others indiscriminately, refusing to spend congressionally appropriated $, invading US cities, stealing from taxpayers & firing thousands of workers-all without any due process-is fine, but ensuring US people can eat leads to “legality” concerns?

The single most Pacific Northwest-ish photo I’ve ever taken.

@wnba.com , @nba.com - get on the right side of history. “The latest Seton Hall Sports Poll reveals a majority of Americans believe WNBA players are unfairly paid compared to NBA players, and 3 in 5 Americans (58%) back a strike by WNBA players if no collective bargaining agreement reached.”

The WNBPA on the 30 day extension of the current CBA while negotiations continue. The players can opt out at any time with 48 hours notice. Interesting…

Remembering when Trump announced a press event at the Four Seasons, but it wasn’t the hotel…and his crack legal team of Giuliani, Lewandowski & Bondi went ahead with it. In a parking lot. In front of a garage door. Next to a sex shop and a crematorium. Right after Biden was declared the 2020 winner.

AOC is right. As usual.

One reason the US lacks public investment in paid sick, family, and parental leaves is because of a tacit assumption that women will continue to do this work. www.forbes.com/sites/adiaha...

The WNBA and the WNBPA reached a resolution on Thursday for a 30-day extension on their CBA deal, league sources told @theathletic.com

Adam Silver said WNBA players shouldn’t ask for revenue share because W revenue is much lower than the NBAs. But the NBA's financial condition heading into the 1983 CBA when players got rev share was similar/worse than where the WNBA is now. Going to discuss on today’s pod:

THIS. I’m so over the league’s obfuscation, misleading statements and hedged answers. “If the league acknowledges a shared revenue system, it is legally bound to disclose, audit, and verify those revenues under federal bargaining law,a major shift in transparency and enforcement obligations.”

"The Women’s National Basketball Players Association is not alone in this fight. They have the unwavering support and full resources of the New York State AFL-CIO at their disposal." Read the full statement by NYS AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento:

Major League Soccer Players’ Association stands with the WNBPA! “It’s time for the WNBA to pay the WNBPA players an equitable share of the revenue they generate and mandate the professional working conditions they deserve. Pay them what you owe them!”

The headline makes me giddy. This is my jam! The WNBPA “could file a complaint with the NLRB claiming the league failed to negotiate in good faith. (This) signals the union is prepared to use federal regulatory processes, raising the stakes for the league and encouraging serious engagement.”

Plus Dominique Malonga is Unrivaled! Unrivaled women’s pro basketball league announces 8 head coaches, 3 new players for Year 2 www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

CBS went to a military food pantry (those words, in order) to interview moms. 13% of military families rely on SNAP/WIC. When a military spouse of a deployed soldier on enlisted salary was asked if people should be surprised: “No they shouldn’t. We live in poverty just like everybody else.”

@howardmegdal.bsky.social Who is doing the Locked on Women’s Basketball podcast now? They don’t know what they are talking about. The number of misstatements they make is baffling.

Quote with a pic of you where you feel really happy and your vibe is on display.

I totally relate to this guy! I’ve spent the last ten years or so getting emails meant for a German politician. Unfortunately, they are almost always in German so I have no idea if someone is cussing me out or not.

Holy shit. I just figured out that 7 of the 10 main supporting actors in Task are not American. They are Irish, Dominican, South African and British. Every single one of them fooled me- amazing American accents, especially that intensely specific Philadelphia accent.

Laura Loomer is such a tool.

This seems very random. If I had to guess which SNL alum stopped by the Seattle Storm practice facility and visited with Gabby Williams, I don’t think Adam Sandler would have been the name I came up with.

If I wasn't rooting for the Blue Jays before, I am now. "Approximately 250 Blue Jays fans have donated nearly $10,000 to the Seattle Children’s Hospital since the Oct. 20 game, a form of congratulations to the Mariners on a successful season and an expression of gratitude for a well-played series."

NFL players stand with WNBA players’ “fight for a collective bargaining agreement that reflects the players’ undeniable impact on the league’s growth.”

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

It’s official! “Seattle holds a special place in my heart, and my family and I are thrilled to return to this incredible city… I look forward to building on the proud legacy of this franchise and competing at the highest level for our fans.” - Sonia Raman www.seattletimes.com/sports/storm...

A source said the players may be willing to consider an extension "under the right circumstances" but they feel "those circumstances do not yet exist."

What happens if this goes until midnight? Do the players turn into pumpkins? But seriously, is there anything that would make them just call it and come back tomorrow for the rest of the game? (other than rain) Is the a point at which they would reschedule tomorrows game if this goes on too long?

I don’t know how any fans are still there. They stopped selling alcohol 10+ innings ago. More than an entire game ago.

At what point do they just decide to all go home and regroup tomorrow?

Even better idea: You know how, in hockey, they have at least a few times ended up using some audience member as the goalie? (I really think this has happened) MLB should randomly pick fans to pitch after the teams run out of their own pitchers. Inject a little excitement into the game!

Die hard baseball fans are masochists. You can’t convince me otherwise.

Food for thought: You know how in college football, after a couple overtimes everyone just wants to get it over with so the teams trade off starting at the 25 yard line? Well what if, with each extra inning in MLB, they moved all the bases five feet closer together? I really think that could work.

For the trolls who think the WNBA can be “solved” by lowering the rims.
