WAIT. My God. RFK Jr. is Jonah Ryan come to life. Right down to the anti-vax nonsense.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

If you told me Steven Matz was going to pitch in the first three games of the World Series for the Rays, I'd have told you they'd be down 0-3

In retrospect that entire 8-runs-with-two-outs inning was because Caminero went the short route to 2nd instead of throwing to first and getting the slow-footed William Contreras

*a* first pitch? like HIGHLANDER, there can only be one

"Whoa. That person has really got him- or herself into quite a predicament." Craig Robinson threw a first pitch before World Series Game 3!

Well that's it - every little thing has gone against them in this series and it ain't gonna change - 9 times out of 10 Walls makes that play

it's like the entire fantasy football commentariat decided this weekend that Ashton Jeanty stinks not that they're wrong, but it's almost as it there was some kind of tipping piont

Remembering when Manziel roomed with Josh Gordon while they were teammates in Cleveland and that had to be like the American version of TRAINSPOTTING

LOL if Trump thinks he’ll keep young men with him by campaigning with Johnny Manziel the GOP is even more screwed than I thought. www.axios.com/2026/10/26/t...

absolute chimney

Dak Prescott dropped that ball down a chimney to CeeDee Lamb. I’m not sure Cooper DeJean could have done anything else in that spot. Plays like that are why the  Cowboys should be optimistic in that division …

One drawback of cutting the cord: the cable box served as my clock, and now I have to get a cheap digital one to put in the spot where it was

Today's Rays pre-play for Game 3 of the World Series. Can't even fathom what it would be like if the Rays rallied for 3 in the 7th to take the lead, only to lose it when Bryan Baker is called on for a 4-out save and gives a 3-run homer to Chourio in the 8th to lose it.

Interesting Rays lineup tonight for Game 3 of the Series: with the lefty Gasser starting, no Aranda or Hicks in the lineup, Vilade playing 1B and hitting 2nd, and Ben Williamson at 2B and batting 5th(!)

oooh...free Sunday Ticket preview decision looking better and better

this is the first weekend I've been cable-free in 43 years I believe cut the expensive Spectrum cord and on YouTube TV added bonus: cats can no longer get in the way of my cable infrared remote control

my fantasy league has a bonus for going over 100 yards and I have Jonathan Taylor his rushing totals in 5 of his games so far this season: 98, 92, 95, 94, 95 (today) aargh
