Honestly, blow up the team, who cares. Get worse. Be a wild card team again so that we don't get let down by star players who can't handle the bright lights.

Hell, be bad again! At least the tickets were fucking affordable.

I see a lot of people comparing the Phillies to the Sixers and like I get it but you need to clarify that the Phillies are worse. The Sixers blow it and choke because their star player's body physically breaks down on the court. The Phillies' stars just quit.

New: I’ll be back at the ballpark today covering the Phillies. With the Sixers offseason nearly over, expect more baseball coverage moving forward.

I wrote about how David Robertson fits into this bullpen, ranking Phillies relievers based on reliability:

New: You've heard that Sixers No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe is a walking highlight. But even that does not do it justice.

For your viewing pleasure, I put together many of Edgecombe’s most jaw-dropping athletic feats at Baylor. I guarantee you will enjoy this:

New: As I catch up on scouting, I'm getting help from draft experts to learn more about players the Sixers could take at No. 3.

Up first: @draftpow.bsky.social on Ace Bailey, a prospect of major highs & lows. Outstanding, nuanced breakdown of a confusing player!

If it was done in defiance of a judges order the technical term for that is "illegal" which means it's not an arrest and deportation - which require those conducting it to at least presume they are acting within the law - but a kidnapping and human trafficking

GREAT example of why other sports should adopt era-adjusted stats!

LeBron did this on a team that averaged 98.5 points per game, in a league where TS% was 52.7%; Tatum is on a team averaging 116.8 and league TS% is 57.5%.

Obvious which one was better/more impactful/more valuable based on that!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

We the people pray for the Sixers to lose out the rest of the season to maximize the chances of keeping their pick, and also to prevent them from making the play-in thus having to watch the 2024-25 Philadelphia 76ers play more than the absolute minimum number of games

I asked him about how many dates he expects to do and if his younger self ever expected him to be doing something like this.

The Eagles dumped Gatorade on their head coach with 3 minutes left in the game when Worthy was collecting all these stats, but cool. Very cool. Very important stat.
Apparently, Eagles fans want to pretend that Xavier Worthy didn't have 157 yards and two touchdowns tonight because... uh... they aren't satisfied with celebrating a championship and need to be whiny on the Internet instead? Was the blowout win not enough for you guys?
