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.

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.

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

Congrats or I’m sorry.

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.

Having been around a whole lot of Jews on the Spectrum (including a bunch in my family) and being aware of the basic concept of "genetics," I think I can come up with another explanation here.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

How did Michigan go from 62-39 to 13-10? They transitioned from playing cover one all the time to Ravens Amoeba sorcery. Also, their DTs got better at the same time that OSU’s running game was getting worse so UM could start playing light boxes.

He plays too close to the LBJ Library and the rancid spirit of the Great Society has infected him. Only the purifying spirit of playing for Miami close to Mar a Lago will save him.

Oxford and Tuscaloosa would also be acceptable.

Great episode. Michigan fans, make sure you listen to the end where @danrubenstein.solidverbal.com describes Oregon reaching the realization that they cannot play man against Ohio State and changing their coverage accordingly. It will sound familiar.

Spare a thought for Eleanor, who asked the rather mundane "who was with my husband when he died?" question and found out that it was his mistress with whom she had caught him back in 1918.
