Returning to twitter to minister to the hogs and do my part to improve the conversation. Fixing Andrew Tate's heart by talking about the NBA with him. Replying "Are you watching Plurbus" to a Rod Dreher post about demonic possession and kicking off a healing round of good-natured discourse.

It's funny that the Phillies correctly decided they needed to replace Nick Castellanos' declining production in their in their lineup, but did it by signing a guy who is declining even more rapidly.

If the Tigers really are hell bent on trading Tarik Skubal, shouldn't he be the one bold move the Cubs make this offseason before immediately retreating? www.pointlessexercise.com/somebodys-go...
Somebody's going to trade for Tarik Skubal. Why not the Cubs?
If they're going to make one bold move and quit, again, this would be the one to make

He held the ball too long on 997 of those pass attempts.
Well he obviously sucks.

I assume every Mitch pass had a 20% or lower completion probability.
Next Gen Stats: Caleb Williams' 22-yard TD pass to DJ Moore had a completion probability of 16.1%, the most improbable completion by a Chicago Bears QB over the last five seasons (since 2021).
🔸 QB Speed: 11.62 mph
🔸 Target Separation: 0.7 yards

Remember the year where Allen Robinson had three balls pulled out of his hands for interceptions? This way is better.

Caleb has thrown 12 interceptions on the first 1,000 attempts of his career. Is that good? It’s only the lowest in NFL history. I hope it doesn’t give Teddy Bruschi another stroke.

Who’s laughing at Allison Williams now? The fever from her constantly having COVID is keeping her toasty on the sidelines.

Caleb threw three picks in a game against Notre Dame when he was a junior and it started his ‘careless with the ball’ nonsense. Those three picks were TWENTY percent of his college career total. He never threw more than five in a season. Football analysts are lazy and dumb.
just to remind people how the 9-4 bears are viewed, Teddy Bruschi just said "I got the browns to cover today I think Caleb Williams is going to give it up a FEW TIMES". last time he turned the ball over multiple times was September 2024.

Few did a better job of killing Willson's trade value as a catcher than David Ross and Craig Breslow bitching about him to the media when he was with the Cubs. Quite the long game played by Breslow here.
