This shot really shows how fast he was moving. Imagine how much kinetic energy there is in one full-speed Jordan Davis

College football fans certainly aren't always correct about the "we would walk through hell for that guy, and the NFL should've drafted him way earlier than it did" thing that happens every year. Having said that, fourth-rounder Cam Skattebo

FanGraphs mentioned on SNB

I am 99% sure I'm done migrating the Wheelysports newsletter from Substack to a new newsletter distributor. I'm also posting every edition to a new site on Medium, so I can link back to old posts and everyone can read without subscribing.

sometimes you see something so evangelical that it takes your breath away

Olamide Zaccheaus went for the jumping celebration with DJ Moore who didn't see him 😭🤣

JACOB YOUNG AT IT AGAIN

I was really pessimistic about the quality of the pennant race a few weeks ago and while I wouldn't say that what we have now is "good" as such, it does seem like a lot of people with skin in the game would rather be granted a merciful death than have their team make the playoffs

the philadelphia eagles are blessed by the angels and graced by the light of heaven. i'm sorry if this offends you but it is demonstrably true

That game is not doing much to refute the idea that the Eagles are the protagonists of reality

Stacking Davis and Carter over the same guy like that is like driving a UGA-educated Fiat 500 through the line

GO BIG MAN GO

I dunno, seems to me like the Rams should hit the gym if they want to convert 3rd and 1 in two plays

ppppppppffffffffffff

South Carolina and Arsenal both suffering avoidable reset-your-expectations-a-month-into-the-season losses in a 15-hour span would put a frankly unhealthy amount of pressure on the Eagles to protect my mental health today.

Need @shamus.bsky.social to give a full ranking of vintage Eagles jerseys by Ball Knower-ness, because black Dawkins is up there. Possibly as high as no. 2 behind Jerome Brown.

Truth be told, Arsenal's play through the first 20 minutes of this game has made me say "Are you fucking drunk?" more than would be ideal

I think we're already there. Only counter-argument I can see is that the W didn't start until Sheryl Swoopes was a couple years into her prime, and she was coming back from pregnancy in 97. If Swoopes was a full-time, fully fit pro from 93 onwards it might be her.

So I'm 1) obviously biased 2) by no means a WNBA expert and 3) aware of how difficult the era adjustment part of this question is but Where are we on the proposition of "A'ja Wilson is the best women's basketball player ever"

i've been thinking a lot about the historical record on this and how hard it will be to communicate that this guy was a fucking nobody

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

Medicare For All is fine and good but how will we pay for it

I've gotten increasingly animated this weekend about the possibility of the Guardians making the playoffs. If *this* Guardians team gets in, that'll be a real what the hell are we doing here moment

Palmetto Bowl is gonna be for bowl eligibility this year don't let anyone tell you you can't re-live your teens as a middle-aged adult

These guys put on a heck of a live show. Lauren Mayberry rules. When my kid was a toddler she used to dance to this song so much and loved the video

South Carolina isn't the most storied football program but we're proud of what traditions we have. 2001, Sandstorm, and defensive backs simply choosing not to carry the ballcarrier

I couldn't help but notice your pain. It runs deep...share it with me!

Had a conversation with someone about the Phillies in the context of the postseason, and while the offense is fuckin cooking these days I did have to use the phrase "load-bearing Harrison Bader"

Today I learned that 1) there is a world record for running a mile with a baby in a stroller and 2) it is within a second of the beer mile world record

In human beings, willpower is located in the quads

YESSSSSSSSSSS MOVE THAT PILE PRAISE JESUS

I got to answer a fun question this week: If your favorite team's top prospect was guaranteed to produce ~45 WAR for that team, would you rather it all came pre-free agency or spread it out over an entire career?

I can't keep myself from clicking on every story about chatbots cooking people's brains, and every single one fills me with unspeakable rage and despair

"Fix You," obviously. Just like I'm proud that the time I was cited on Jeopardy was in a question about Moulin Rouge, not some baseball nonsense

Anthony Rendon, Hurston Waldrep, "Fix You" by Coldplay, Learned League, and I'm the primary source for this article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Victor Robles' first home run of the year hit the Halliburton sign. If you hit the Halliburton sign you should get a bonus run

Bryan Woo going down in the last week of the regular season would be an absolute nightmare

You live, you learn

Apparently the three categories of workers eligible for H-1B visas are 1) science eggheads 2) DOD researchers and 3) fashion models...? Is this real? Am I being had?

i don't think anyone has ever hated the american economy more than this guy

Jay tells the whole story about Kershaw, the greatest pitcher of his generation and a player I've loved watching and writing about, who made the unfortunate choice to close his career by becoming a mouthpiece for hate and homophobia.

I tell this story to random people I meet in line at Shop Rite it's so good

Davy expressed a concern that we're writing about Geraldo Perdomo too much. I do not accept the premise that one can write about Geraldo Perdomo too much

On a long enough evolutionary timeline even NIMBYs turn into crabs

Between this and Chris Smelley getting lost at sea, multiple Spurrier-era Gamecock QBs have had serious scares in the past 18 months. And in the biggest upset since USC 35, No. 1 Bama 21, neither of them was Stephen Garcia.

Just scheduled the first edition of Wheelysports post-Substack. If it looks janky as shit but most people get it I'm calling that a win for now.
