We used to be a proper country.

Just accidentally took 300 mg of caffeine instead of my usual 200 mg because I am so focused on things today yep

I will be drunk off vibes, and maybe also Tully.

I have never used the following Adam Sandler .gif before, but ...

I am incapable of feeling pain. The Timberwolves did it. They actually fucking did it.

Just gotta celebrate every act of bravery in this moment. If you see someone being brave, celebrate them and then act like them.

you know those football coaches with religious objections to the covid vaccine? lot of them were just scared of needles. terrified to be vaccinated but nobody can see big tough man scared

At our house we said they really Wolvesed it up

I do think it’s hysterical that as soon as the Lynx start having trouble we call it Wolves ball. Lololol

CNN has identified at least 100 U.S. citizen children who have been separated from their parents after ICE deported them - including newborns. As a parent I cannot imagine the horror of being separated from my child, but that trauma is even more acute for the innocent children left behind.

Teams with more than one way to win tend to win a lot Love to see it

The Lynx have been outshot from 3 (36.4% vs. 25%, both making four) and from the line (4-4 vs. 4-5), but are still up 16 on the Mercury at halftime? Absurd. Forcing nine turnovers, +5 on the glass, that is how you take eight more shots from the field. Brute forcing their way to a title.

This week more than usual, seems a good idea to have the national championship odds established for reference. This weekend is going to move them, though not as much as you think.

I mean, it’s pretty dangerous to homophobes, as it should be

I have spent extensive time today studying this possibility and I have found only one certainty: A Lynx win tonight would be a good thing.

Obviously massive news. Yes, throws the Heisman into further chaos. But also ... Oklahoma has Texas on Oct. 11, starting a stretch of at S. Carolina, vs Mississippi, at Tennessee before another idle. Red River looks like a Texas W now. Then the length of this becomes a wonder

Convince me the Lynx are not going to go 9-0 this postseason. I know, it sounds absurd. But they are favored by 7 or 7.5 again tonight. And once they go up 2-0, I see a killer instinct in them. Then if they face the Aces, A'ja getting the MVP will piss off the whole team. Plus, Vegas has no depth.

One of the truths about long winning streaks is that teams have a tendency to regress to the mean when they're done. There isn't a worse time to do that than the semis

Most late night hosts are only pulling 1-2M live viewers on terrestrial television. What Kimmel has that most other shows don't is 20M subscribers on Youtube. His Youtube reach is insane. So Sinclair can torpedo their timeslot and send their viewers to Youtube all they like. Kimmel is back.

Sunday work has again moved my way to start the week. Never a guarantee of a good week coming, but always a good sign of how we are reading the board. 3x: Two my way (USC now -6.5, soon -7; Duke now -6). Two against (MN now -5; KU now -4.5). 2x: Three my way. 1x: Two my way.

the billboard top 10 the week mike gundy was hired at oklahoma state

Gundy gets fired 18 years and one day after "I'm a man, I'm 40!" rant.

Enjoy retirement, Mike.

My reaction to any further Mike Gundy talk this season:

With Sandy Brondello out, Cheryl Reeve has officially been on the job longer than every other WNBA coach combined. Cheryl Reeve's tenure: 5768 days Every other WNBA coach combined: 4529 days

would be funny if disney was like fine we’re yanking sports off your affiliates this weekend sorry

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SP+ TOP 766, WEEK 5 * No. 1 vs. No. 2 this week! * Arkansas -114 Arkansas Baptist * UTRGV -87 Rio Grande * Oberlin lost 63-0 to No. 381, while Maine Maritime lost 63-0 to No. 671, therefore MARITIME HOLDS ONTO NO. 766 GO MARINERS docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The Trump Administration does not do stupid things as part of a genius plan. The Trump Administration does stupid things because it is, in many ways, stupid. Evil and stupid so often go together like peanut butter and jelly, but, you know, evil and stupid.

How have we gotten to this point as a society with Arkansas and Notre Dame not having played football?

Just so we are clear. There is nothing wrong with being trans or autistic. Don't give an inch on that

This, as with so many things in WNBA scheduling, is an ABC/ESPN decision not a WNBA one. Tie yourself to one broadcaster, and get the vast majority of your money from them, they basically end up controlling everything. Hopefully with the new TV deal the league will have a little more control. #WNBA

If I genuinely thought Substack was GOOD for media businesses, I’d shut up about it. I think it’s a scam.

The Timberwolves are gonna win the West this year.

if i had a nickel for every time a college team had nepo steve-in-waiting situation this year id have two nickels which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice

As a lifelong Yankees fan and a Lynx fan, this content was made specifically for me.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Two weeks later NYT top headlines continue to focus on a far right speaker who 95% of Americans had never heard of before. Unbelievable

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

stat previews are up for week 5 cfb-graphs.com

Aggie, tech and UT together in one section of the bracket

Utah out. Georgia Tech in. Oklahoma up. A&M at Tortilla?

A Malört martini????

Tully, poured.

So, the other side ...

Malört was not on my Sunday agenda. Whoops.

Sunday work was great work last week.

Gary Anderson was a better Wisconsin coach than Luke Fickell

Time again for college football fans to get odd their hottest taeks and know no one will notice. The funniest thing that could happen next week is Notre Dame shutting down a Bobby Petrino offense and Arkansas no longer having a succession plan.
