he’s of course referring to former South Florida running back Sharia Law, who ran for 197 yards and three touchdowns in a 65-27 win over Tuberville’s Cincinnati team in 2015

sometimes i write sentences that make complete sense to me, then have to pause and think about whether or not i'm crazy. but i think this passes the sniff test. sometimes a pitcher's throwing absolute creatures

is this legible as something a catcher would tell to their pitcher (who is dealing at an extremely high level)

Ruthless stuff from @alexkirshner.com
slate.com/business/202...

That is now part of Finebaum’s challenge in making the move from sports media star to conservative politician—or, it’s possible, from sports media star to sports media star who has free rein to talk about politics and make money doing it. Former ESPN host Will Cain has had a successful-looking run at Fox News, but Cain was already built for that life before he left ESPN. His last act at the network was being publicly dressed down for a ridiculous comment about NASCAR’s investigation of an apparent noose in Black driver Bubba Wallace’s garage. Travis seems as if he’s had a good time and made good money shoveling coal into the outrage furnace. But it’s easy to make a misstep too. Michele Tafoya was the sideline reporter for Sunday Night Football, one of the most lucrative and prestigious assignments in sports television. She left to co-chair a losing gubernatorial campaign in Minnesota, and now she’s one of thousands of middling conservative influencers trying to stand out. A recent episode of her podcast, titled “What Is Free Speech Exactly? Can I Say That?,” has 245 views on YouTube as of this writing. If you don’t have a natural skill for getting conservative voters or podcast listeners excited, this is a dangerous transition to make.

William Hazen @williamhazen.bsky.social · 1d

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Still unclear whether Cal Raleigh's first name is short for 'California' or the late Roman Emperor Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus otherwise known as 'Caligula'

like i don’t think i’d tell you to run out and pick up hulu if you don’t have it but if you’re paying for it already and you enjoy college ball, i’d at least try an episode

“If I can get seconds, thirds and fourths on that raw milk now? Ooh boy!”

Bryce Harper on the birth of his fourth child, a boy, last week: "I've got an incredible wife, man. She pushed that thing out in three pushes and 30 seconds. She's an absolute monster doing it. Women, man, what a breed.
I'm serious, it's an incredible thing."

trying to watch a baseball game after you've been locked in on softball for a while is very disorienting. why is there so much space. why are all the players so far apart. do they hate each other

i’m also a softball fan who thinks it’s weird that baseball players are all so far away from each other, so. my opinion is worth less than a grain of salt
