The Blue Jays making the World Series AND spending a lot of money to try and get better? No thank you. I’ll take “maybe we’ll be nearly as good as last year”.

Is Brock Purdy AI? because it sure seems like Silicon Valley investors sunk hundreds of millions of dollars into him without actually looking into whether he is good or not

If he didn’t suck Brock Purdy would be pretty good

I'm seeing Star Wars/Trek discourse and my only contribution will be that Félix Abraham Hernández García (born April 8, 1986) is absolutely a Hall of Famer.

A visualization of JJ learning from Mike Madonald’s defense

I respectfully disagree. JJ McCarthy must start against the Seattle Seahawks on the road next week. For science.
New on @athlonsports.bsky.social Sports: Last season, the Panthers benched Bryce Young for his own good -- so he could calm down and see the game differently. It worked.

It's time for the Vikings to see if a benching works for J.J. McCarthy. He's lost out there. athlonsports.com/other-sports...

Well u see he handed the ball off a lot in college when his teammates were way better than anybody else. So it’s impossible to say if he’s good or bad.
J.J. McCarthy now ranks 851 out of 852 in EPA per Dropback among qualified passers since 2000, per Tru Media. The only player below McCarthy is JaMarcus Russell.

The good thing about the UW offense on the road is that it sucks and I hate it

I have absolutely no idea what the next 3-5 years of national American politics looks like but I am quite confident it involves JD Vance being utterly humiliated.

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

Link to the original writeup Nathan made here: one of my favorite entries that he's done because it really does spell out how egregious it is that this team doesn't just simply go do the winning thing. bsky.app/profile/nath...
Good evening! Here’s how the Mariners can build the best team in baseball using all of the savings they’ve stocked up waiting for the right moment. thelightbat.substack.com/p/112025-the...

The Mariners are doing a Humpy Plush Giveaway on April 11th, which is an excellent opportunity for us all to attend and simultaneously destroy them in a pagan ritual designed to cleanse the franchise's aura.
The Mariners let Humpy win again, an egregious and insulting indulgence that almost certainly directly led to yesterday’s loss. Only ritualistically sacrificing him can balance the humors and guarantee a victory this evening.

Humpy must die.

Feel like Lane probably really appreciates Andy McKay's rock/man/woman/snake tweet
There is no audience for this among my followers so I'm sorry but it's a random thought: Observing Lane Kiffin's behavior during this coaching cycle and I've determined he is in fact college football's most baseball relief pitcher-brained coach.
