For this week's Inlander, we followed up "20 Under 40" feature from 30 years ago. I caught up with a baseball GM turned politician (turned sports CEO), an artist that worked on Train Dreams and made the Spike the Bulldog statue at Gonzaga, and a 3-on-3 hoops lifer. www.inlander.com/culture/thir...

Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle or [picks any random Rob Delaney banger]

Having some important Dominic Canzone discussions with my Mariners pals…

😘🐯

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

articles that write about how "important" immigrant workers are to "the economy" without ever acknowledging that the reason they are important is that they can be treated worse for less pay

Rising and shining.

In a meritocracy, Megan Moroney would be the biggest artist in country music.

The Mariners are gonna pull out the ‘cock. As is always the case, they should never pull out the ‘cock.

Brendan Donovan - who hasn’t ever topped 14 HRs in a season - already has 2?!? Close enough… Welcome back Brett Boone.

Jon Scheyer has already cemented his legacy as the biggest choker in coaching history.

Hey UConn: If I wanted to watch a team shoot 1-15 from 3, I’d watch a Gonzaga game.

These Elite Eight games.

Congrats to Tommy Lloyd! No other school poaching him from Gonzaga for years and years and years remains completely inexplicable.

Update: 6 home runs 0 singles

Saving this for future use.

Randy walking?!? More like Randy: Walk King.

No franchise is sports history has ever been better at anything than the Seattle Mariners are at not scoring a guy on 3rd base with 0 outs. It is clockwork that transcends all eras.

So the NYT is so committed to shitting on trans people that when the AMA tried to correct their reporting, they responded by saying they know more about the AMA's position than the AMA itself. That's zealotry.

Reminder that Dan Wilson shoulda been fired after the playoffs and should still be fired now.

I simply cannot handle if the Mariners only hit solo homers all year again.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING CHALLENGES IF YOU DON’T USE IT LATE GAME WITH YOUR BEST HITTER ON A NOT CLOSE PITCH TO STRIKE HIM OUT?!?

🇮🇹🤌 The Seattle Mariners 🤌🇮🇹

More like Purdumb with that foul.

Weezer calling its new tour "The Gathering" is the type of Juggalo erasure that simply cannot be accepted in a proper society.

The Inlander's annual Best Of issue has dropped. Wrote all sorts of stuff in it. www.inlander.com/bestof/2026/

The Mariners had a magical playoff run... and then ownership slashed back the payroll this offseason. Considering the Mariners' Opening Day roster already has 2 key injuries, it's fair to ask if the M's cheapskate owners are blowing the team's window of contention. www.inlander.com/culture/the-...

The Zags season ended early, but in the way everyone who’d watched closely expected. A few reflections on that and filling those gaps going forward. www.inlander.com/culture/gonz...

I wasn't prepared for one of the songs on Hilary Duff's new album being an adult pop rework of "Dammit."

Doom Scrolling instead of doomscrolling.

Having Twice perform at the end of KPop Demon Hunters instead of the actual singers in the movie remains the funniest complete miscalculation in recent pop culture.

If the Criterion sale is an event you’re always anticipating, a bigger concern is probably your own depression.

Zags lost, but I was unexpectedly on national TV in a Summer Cannibals T-shirt, which is very funny to me.

Can’t say I’m shocked the Zags lost, just disappointed.

Gonzaga’s D just is allowing too many shots. On the season opponents shoot under 40% FGs. Texas is at 52%.

Relentless Wrestling has a show tonight, so I wrote about stoner legend RVD. www.inlander.com/greenzone/pr...

Pretty close to see if the Zags can make another Sweet 16.

*whispers* The new Pac-12 is 2-0 in the NCAA Tourney.

A joke too good to not bring over.

I think coaches should use their challenges way more, but Ole Miss just used a challenge on an out of bounds call with the score 0-0 and lost it.

FYI: Zags women’s NCAA Tourney game just started on ESPN2.

HOLY CRAP THIS SANTA CLARA VS KENTUCKY GAME

ATTN: @leahsottile.bsky.social

Since Santa Clara is (unsurprisingly) looking to pull off the upset on Kentucky, it allows me to reshare my favorite college basketball realization of the year…

Went to Ground Kontrol for some post-Zags pinball and the complete lack of game I displayed when the one super cute pinball player in the joint tried to give me her game card as she was leaving should be studied. 🤦‍♂️

My too early thought about Gonzaga-Texas: I am concerned Texas has a legit good 7 footer (sometimes Graham Ike’s kryptonite) in Matas Vokietaitis, but also he sucks at free throws, so maybe just hack him?

All I’m saying is the calls against Gonzaga down the stretch were so bad that the refs having money on the game is more realistic than them thinking those were actual fouls.

Cleanse your palate after that gross first half of Gonzaga men’s basketball with my piece on the comeback stories that have fueled the Zag women’s return to the NCAA Tourney. www.inlander.com/culture/spor...

For no reason, here’s something I wrote about this Gonzaga team as part of the March Madness cover package.

NCAzAg Tournament.
