Spending a private equity injection on a coach buyout is insane, short-term thinking. In other words, absolutely consistent with what an average AD would do.

So this was a fun list to compile this morning.

Counter: the turning point was actually when I took this picture at the Coliseum.

They can’t fit gap and they don’t know how to play Tampa and they played 3-4 vs 12, things we’ve been complaining about since OU.

USC hasn’t been called for a single penalty. I guess they’re just that well coached.

Judicial review by the Supreme Court is not set forth in the Constitution and the Framers might not have wanted it, which is one reason why conservatives using originalism to justify the Roberts Court’s fuckery is so vexing.

There is little protecting the Supreme Court in Article III.

We can learn a thing or two from how average Israelis stopped Bibi’s attempted castration of the judiciary.

“Can’t run for short yardage” has been a consistent theme for them when they don’t have someone like Fields or Howard at QB.

Go blue.

Would love to tell college Michael that he’ll be able to watch live football and baseball on a flight to LA with his son on the way to watch Michigan play USC in a Big Ten game.

Michael @bravesandbirds.bsky.social · 1d

That game lasted a chunk of my ATL-LAX flight, the interminable wait for motherfucking Hertz to get me a car, checking into our hotel, eating tacos at Guisado’s, watching a couple innings from a West Hollywood sidewalk, and then finally getting back to the hotel. All worth it.

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 1d

Everyone who watched all 15 innings of that game without a rooting interest is officially a baseball sicko.

Congrats or I’m sorry.

Stay awake with Augustus talking about his dear dick.

I want everyone out there who looks down on faith in general to take a very close look at all of the faith leaders who are working tirelessly and putting themselves on the line to make the world better. Not all christians are evangelical, many actually take the new testament to heart.

Chanting, "we are the body of Christ! The body of Christ will be free!"

This crowd has swelled considerably. Few hundred here now.

What, his time as a Bill Simmons podcast sidekick didn’t qualify him to run a P4 college football program?

I look forward to convening a group of my friends to award me the Heisman Trophy.

Facebook is a hellscape but this got me 🪦

Facebook post with the text "One player in this picture has a World Series ring. #Phillies #Braves". The picture shows Orlando Arcia, former Braves player, and Bryce Harper, Phillies player. Arcia has a ring

Best of luck not blowing yourself up with the fertilizer bomb you’re going to make for whichever Phillie you blame for this series.

Can’t even be understanding to these people without their default response being “MAKE INSULT!!!”

This would be an automatic termination in the private sector.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Put them on the road against the Astros in their Eighties uniforms and you would have peak aesthetic baseball.
