Man, there’s some baseball going on right now

Still in awe of the guy saying "Hey, I wouldn't complain if you left out a bunch of those comments where I talked about how warm and generous Henry Kissinger was to me, personally, which we both know - heh, heh - is not really what he was like to the world at large."

There’s an argument to be made that even if he hadn’t already been booked, taking off his own jersey and holding it up to the crowd to celebrate a late League Cup winner at home v. Southampton deserved a sending off anyways.

A beer with very low alcohol content and no taste that comes in a red, white and blue can. A fitting drink for our times.

OK, that's a sign to call it quits for the night.

Chourio is already swinging at the first pitch.

Imagine how hard you'd laugh if Joey Ortiz hit a homer here.

It'd be very funny if this Brewers game went to the 11th inning.

Mo Salah made all the goals for the Premier League winners, and gave his club a reputational and financial platform from which they could rebuild an aging and ill-fitting roster like never before.

Packers could not have screwed this up anymore than they did. You can just see this guy kicking a 62-yard winner or something.

If I’m lucky enough to make it to 92, may I have half as much life as Willie goddamn Nelson does tonight.

Neil Young laying it down in no uncertain terms about what’s at stake. Hell yeah.

One … is the magic number.

Whomever is the next Badgers football coach needs to have their first focus be on recruiting a bunch of big boys that eat Kwik Trip breakfast sandwiches and Culvers for dinner. Get back to the roots.

Gonna need a performance here, United, to prove a few theories and fulfill a hope or two that I have percolating in my brain that nobody here needs to know about just yet.

the eternal battle of the “I like the coffee pods because it takes 15 seconds” people and the “I’m getting up at 4am to have coffee at 5am” people

I had West Ham-Palace on and it was like watching two clumsy dogs sniff each other’s butts for 15 minutes. Let’s see what Burnley-Forest can offer.

I don’t need to hear from Alan Shearer. TV off. Time for breakfast.

Arne outsmarted us all with Kerkez. He suspected Everton would play everything through Grealish and Milos would have a light day, and he was right.

A couple defensive half-lapses, but otherwise flawless.

This team with Szoboszlsi in midfield is an atomic bomb. Every single thing is clicking that much finer, and the attacking promise is exploding.

Whwre ISN’T Szoboszlai? Seriously.

Mo Salah heard you was talking shit.

Milwaukee is ready for the next @normcharlatan.bsky.social visit.

Upper Midwest business travel the next two days. Let's see you at your best, southeast Iowa.

In a world where we recognize sports is first show business and second everything else, this Carvajal red card is box office, baby.

when the guy crashing out is wearing the tie of a Premier League team that I do not support: Wow, this is emblematic of their entire fanbase.

Richard Kind timeline cleanse

People really hate all of this, it’s why I keep saying that the administration is doing things as propaganda out of weakness, not strength

There are some church bells ringing like the second coming is upon us at 7:41 a.m. I can only assume the pastor was a Robert Redford fan and is paying tribute because what an odd time to set them all a-clanging.

RIP to a real one youtu.be/Qeemjaosp-E?...

Every English newspaper this season after a Liverpool win.

The fun really started this afternoon when Vikings fans saw the Lions put up 52 on Chicago and felt that first twinge of doubt.

Really thought the Vikings would put on a stronger show than this considering they had the NFC Offensive Player of the Week on their side.

A United fan in the away end wearing a half-and-half scarf?! Be serious.

Burnley showed a lot of spirit and defensive discipline but the idea that they deserved a draw is a bit mad. Liverpool weren’t great but, as the stats show, they totally and utterly dominated. And they did what all great teams do - they kept going and ultimately found a way.

I sincerely started cackling when Michael Oliver blew for full time.

Already friskier.

Mo and Flo just don’t have it worked out yet.

I’m watching this with headphones and the Burnley crowd has one mode: “You’re cheating!” Taking a goal kick? You’re cheating. Our midfielder put his boot through your ankles? You’re cheating!

The magic number

The biggest pains in the ass to play against have done it again.

Too many pundits & even reporters are attempting to pull back from what they rightly fear is on-the-brink by describing way they wish it was--I wish it was like that, too!--rather than the way it is. Latter is scarier. Also more accurate. & as such necessary info for finding our way through. 5/

The Brewers have scored 4 runs in this inning, and their only hit is a bunt.

It’s a miracle that a network aired even one episode of Get a Life, let alone the two seasons it got.

I need to apologize for the scolding tone of that first sentence because holy living shit did I not see the bleakness approaching anything close to this in half a year.
