I enjoyed that Mully and Huh had sports business "expert" Marc Ganis on to talk about this really could happen, and at no time did they point out that he's being paid by the Bears to "advise" them on this, just like he got paid by the Cubs to carry their water during the renovation.
abc7 please stop treating “the bears could move to northwest indiana” like it’s a serious story/threat

Important thread from AG Ellison
I am committed to vigorously defending Minnesota’s medical providers who do incredible work to treat and care for all Minnesotans, including our trans neighbors. I have already taken the Trump Admin to court to stop them from scapegoating the trans community. I will not hesitate to do so again.

We wanted an apology. We got one. I agree with Mina, the bigger issue is the general influence of these bigoted streamer guys on a whole generation of young men, including athletes and non athletes.

BREAKING: The Florida Supreme Court upheld Florida’s law, making it the only state to allow juries split 8-4 to sentence people to death.
Permitting non-unanimous, divided juries to sentence people to death is unconstitutional and increases the risk of executing an innocent person.

We need to keep all NFL players away from streamers. Or, at the very least, one streamer in particular: Adin Ross. When we last checked in with Ross he was hanging out in what was surely a crazy-smell...

Had to make a call to the IRS I wasn't looking forward to. The matter was handled quickly, simply, and the person was pleasant. Dealing with the government can be a drag sometimes, but when one actually deals with it one usually sees how ridiculous cable news-style demonization of it is.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Baseball will now centralize all in-game data & tech at minor league level as they have with Statcast at the major league level. This will bring the bottom up, but critics say it's anti-spending, anti-innovation, and punitive to the teams that have invested in the future of the game. t.co/0UuQei8EtW
