I feel like there’s a lesson in hubris to be learned in regard to FS1 seizing the Italy/Mexico game from Tubi and then having it be a total snoozefest, meanwhile the Venezuela/D.R. game that Tubi was “stuck with” is great. I have no idea what that lesson could be. I just point things out.

It’s bad enough that Booker fumbled away America’s shot at having First Lady Rosario Dawson. But I can’t support a presidential candidate who writes reign instead of rein. (Statistically speaking, some of you reading this routinely write “free reign” instead of “free rein.” Please stop!)

Every Blerdcon, I think about the Universal FanCon fiasco (coming up on ten years!) and how easily it could have been avoided if the organizers had simply started small and booked a Hyatt ballroom the first year instead of the goddamn Baltimore Convention Center. washingtonian.com/2026/03/11/l...

What would you call one Montreal Expo being removed from the Nats Park Ring of Honor? A good start.

Remember when Latrell Sprewell choked PJ Carlesimo? It was a big deal at the time, but the lack of social media stopped it from being the earth-shattering deal it would be if it happened now. If Spoelstra had taken Adebayo out to protect Kobe’s record, Adebayo would have been right to choke him.

😬 So, uh…do the Giants still want CJ Abrams?

Normally, this is some sort of player/character mashup. Like the Zim Captain America bobblehead from several years ago. Or the Trea Turner-as-The Flash bobblehead that we never got because of Covid. But this is just a straight-up Sam Wilson bobblehead? Lame. James Wood could be Captain America.

I love both winter and snow, and even I think this is fucked up.

I found it! The one timeline that’s worse than this one!

I get why Wizards fans are annoyed that the team has been etched in history as a punchline to an NBA record that may never be broken. But on Reddit, someone called last night’s game “Kobe fans’ 9/11.” So if your team can make Lakers fans this sad, it seems like that’s something worth celebrating.

I’ve now seen a second Dhar Mann film in which a white jewelry store manager accuses a black woman of being a thief, but it turns out she’s actually an executive at the company, who fires the manager and promotes a kind employee to replace her. Is it plagiarism if Dhar Mann rips off Dhar Mann?

I think one of the reasons Paradise works is that it doesn’t fall into the trope of post-apocalyptic survivors all being psychopaths. The episode of The Walking Dead where the group of men almost rape Carl is when I realized the show didn’t aspire to be anything more than misery porn and bailed.

Garcia and Young for Bryce Harper: who says no? Actually, Bryce might enjoy D.C. now. He could hang out with RFK Jr. and talk raw milk. And let’s face it, this team has always attracted, uh…certain types of players he might be simpatico with. I’ve noticed Harry Ford signs autographs “Jesus ❤️ U.”

We blame post-Covid isolation and online porn for why Zoomers don’t date, but it could also be takes like this. In this context, pineapple is basically a vegetable. But then people also get mad when you put *that* on a pizza. Idea: a dating app just for people who like sausage/pineapple pizza.

“What if I told you your electric bill is going to triple over the next few years?” “Oh God! That sounds horrible!” “Aha! But what if I told you that in exchange, people will have the ability to generate a video where a cheeseburger is made by a construction crew?” “Oh. I guess it’s okay, then.”

Given that they’re a division rival, I have an odd affection for the Marlins. Maybe it’s because I went to the ballpark before Jeter vandalized it and loved it. But all the empty rich people seats at the WBC is pretty jarring. I get spring logistics, but might need it to move it to LA next time.

I’m not saying it was an effective strategy, as evidenced by the zero Super Bowl wins during the Dan Snyder era. But there was something fun about the way the Redskins would simply grab the top players on the first day of free agency each year. We were like the Dodgers. Just without the winning.

The Big Easy joins the list of '80s thrillers like No Way Out and Suspect that I somehow built up in my head as being culturally significant films, but then when I watch them, turn out to be pretty bad. Also, I don’t get why Remy immediately goes nuts for Anne when McCabe was right there all along.

Definitely not: Idle, Palin Definitely not, but for…other reasons: Franco, C.K. Already in, though he shouldn’t be: Simon Probably won’t ever host again: Kutcher, Lohan, Diaz, Barkley Probably will host again, but who knows when: Carvey, Keaton, Driver, Gosling Four left. The answer is…Hamm.

Unapologetically rooting for Great Britain. This is not a political statement. I just think it would be funny.

My main takeaway from this story is that if you’re a prison guard making…I dunno? $60K a year? And someone representing a cabal of the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world reach out to you to kill a prisoner who can bring them all down…ASK FOR MORE THAN $11,880!!! nypost.com/2026/03/07/u...

I realize it’s just spring training. But James Wood and Dylan Crews hitting .154 seems bad. I mean, if they were *each* hitting .154, that would be plenty bad. But no, they’re hitting a *combined* .154. Which seems…more bad.

Cavalli trade watch begins…

Q: War, huh, yeah. What is it good for? A: Potentially bringing area rents and home prices down as terrified residents flee to where they won’t be caught in a hypothetical retaliatory attack.

Did not disappoint.

“There’s no such thing as a bad mustache.” - Miles Mikolas After the game, look two lockers over, Miles.

If I were the Pirates, I would have brought McCutchen back for a farewell season. If I were McCutchen, I would have read the writing on the wall and retired last year. If I were the Nats, I would have signed McCutchen, because why not? Mistakes all around. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/03/rang...

To be fair, if I’d been somewhat inexplicably traded from the 2025 Nationals to the 2025 Dodgers, I also wouldn’t shut up about how awesome God is.

Remember “Erica Marsh”? The fake account that would tweet stuff like “RT if you think billionaires should pay their taxes!” and had thousands of horny progressive followers, based entirely on a stolen profile pic? Anyway, I’m relieved MAGA dudes are just as gullible and stupid. Maybe even moreso.

You know what we didn’t appreciate enough as kids? Proof of purchase giveaways. Bribes, basically, to get us to bug our parents to buy us more toys. I’m not sure what an adult version of this in 2026 might look like. But some innovative company should explore it.

I mean…what the actual fuck. Sorry, Cody. Maybe if they’d limited it to active players.

Someone in this administration instigating nuclear war so they can make $50,000 or whatever on Polymarket, only to realize too late that money will be worthless once civilization has been destroyed, is the hack Twilight Zone-esque ending humanity deserves.

Once again, the Brits have conquered Milwaukee.

If NL East players keep testing positive for PEDs, the Nationals might win the division by default!

I hope this extends to AI-made films as well. It’ll be awesome if all the talentless slop merchants who are entering a few prompts into Seebyte and calling themselves “filmmakers” have to watch unscrupulous Instagram accounts stealing their content and be legally powerless to do anything about it.

“Yasmin, too, has assumed responsibility for some direct reports” This season ended up in a very strange place. Also, Kit Harrington has now starred in two HBO series in which his love interest becomes a monster. Hopefully, he isn’t taking it personally. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Scream 7: stumbles in the third act, but much better than 6. This would be the perfect place for them to stop. But they won’t. It’s been 17 years since the last Friday the 13th movie. There may never be another Elm Street film. So yeah, I think we can give the Scream franchise a decade or so off.

Is Kalshi just for insiders to profit off of war or can I bet on this to fail? Because historically, MLB’s outreach to young people has not gone well.

This hurts more than seeing Juan Soto join the Mets. Okay, not really. But it still sucks.

This is so much worse than a low Wonderlic score.

Counterpoint: it’s fun to see umpires repeatedly humiliated and be powerless to respond how they really want to, which is throw a tantrum and toss someone out of the game.

The Mets announcers discussing how easy it would be for the Nationals to move on from Keibert Ruiz just as Harry Ford is getting pummeled in the head by baseballs, feels unnecessarily jinxy.

As much as I’d love to blame this on our dementia-ridden president and his roid-raged Secretary of War, over half the country voted for this or stayed home in 2024. Anyone who claims this isn’t what they signed up for is lying. So when the inevitable blowback occurs, just remember: we chose this.

“Operation Epic Fury”? Who the fuck even comes up with a name like…ohhhhhh. Right.

The 2026 Pirates seem to be shaping into what Rizzo was envisioning the post-rebuild Nationals would be. Except they actually drafted well. Anyway, they have good prospects outside of their untouchable guys, so it wouldn’t be terrible if they get off to a hot start and suddenly could use CJ Abrams.

Good to see those famously razor-sharp political instincts haven’t dulled in the last two years…

Maybe we should get rid of human actors after all. Yesterday, I saw an AI clip that someone made of Homelander vs. Hitch. You know. From the movie Hitch? I didn’t hate it.

Saw one of those He Gets Us ads that ends with “Jesus welcomes questions.” A) Does he, though? His dad, at least, wants us to accept everything on faith and is NOT cool with the idea of alternative gods. B) Is Jesus going to beam down and answer said questions, or is this a one-sided conversation?

It’s still annoying that Muriel Bowser quickly figured out that when you’re on vastly unequal footing with Trump, the only way to work with him is to try and charm him, and she’s been getting shit for it for nearly a decade. Meanwhile, progressives are hooting and hollering at The Zohran Show.
