The Seahawks kicked KC's ass so thoroughly that people are pretending they hadn't been calling the Chiefs the Super Bowl favorite prior to last night. Today people are suddenly asking "Is Mahomes actually declining?" and noticing for the first time that the Chiefs really hadn't played anyone yet.

And for the record, I do think the Chiefs were undefeated because of their schedule and that they're not actually that great. But I thought that before last night.

Because I care deeply for my country, I volunteer to test Taco Bell and prove it is not only safe to eat, but that it will also make me a more productive member of society. @tacobell.bsky.social please reach out to my management team to arrange.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and I am looking forward to the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

We can handle Deutschland, but I would really enjoy hearing most Americans attempt to say Köln instead of Cologne.

Like it's good that we say Cote d'Ivoire now but by the same logic I can't really think of a good reason we keep saying "Germany." Like I feel like we can handle "Deutschland" its not hard to say or spell or anything?

I have been pretty disconnected from MLB with the Mariners doing what they do and the World Cup going on but I am getting fired up about Canada making the All-star voting very not fun. Kirk has played 13 games and is slashing .191/.250/.298. How is this fun?

I wrote about the Trump regime's flailing attempt to co-opt the World Cup in service of their blood-and-soil politics, and why it's important to reject this messaging and engage in the joy of an event that is antithetical to the fascist worldview. badfaithtimes.com/fascists-are...

A HUGE Weekend here at Light Bat Industrial Light and Magic. With Boston starting THREE left-handers, our boy Rob is prepared to MAKE THE LEAP past the vaunted standard set by 2023 AJ Pollock. GO ROB, and fear no darkness!

We're back! The Mariners are about to rattle of 15 of 18.

The Seattle Mariners' statue reveal for Ichiro Suzuki had, well, one of the more inauspicious mishaps imaginable.

"...if they don't win it's a shame!

🚨 NEW — Trump is preparing to fire DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, per The Wall Street Journal.

Checking out the @fangraphs.com 2026 standings projections. The thing that really stands out to me is the Mariners have the 3rd highest World Series odds in baseball but they picked a season to do that when the Dodgers have the best odds at 27%!!!

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Will Campbell surrendered 14 quarterback pressures in the Super Bowl. That's the most given up by any player in a single game this season.

Jon Ryan has the highest passer rating of all-time in an NFC/AFC Championship Game. (It looks like Darnold’s performance is 6th.)

The children on TikTok are going to unleash the sickest Seahawks edits over the next two weeks and I’m going to watch every single one of them.

Congrats to the Indiana Hoosiers, who have been trying for exactly two years. You’ve accomplished what a significantly richer man has been trying to accomplish at Oregon for like 3 decades.

Félix sitting at 54%

“Jays in 4” “We’ll give you 1, Jays in 5” “It was always Jays in 6” “Schneider choked, Jays in 7” What if, what if it’s Mariners in 7?

Game 7 vibes

Nathan HawkBlogger@nathanhb.bsky.social

There is no path towards Something New for the Seattle Mariners that is not teeming with agony, pain, and misery beyond imagining. The nation will watch in horror as this team gives painful birth to our beautiful and terrible abomination. This is how it was always going to be.

We’re officially set up for Max Joy or Max Pain. Spin that frickin’ wheel, baby. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Go Mariners forever!

Obviously this all depends on what Woo’s status is but if he’s making the roster but not starting Game 1 I don’t think we see him before like game 5? So Miller, Castillo(?), Logan(?), Kirby, Woo? Really not sure how the 15 and 34 pitches for Luis and Logan respectively will affect their availability

I’m wearing the Mariners hat I wore during games 2 and 3. Unfortunately, I left without my hat before game 4 so it never touched my head that day. Wasn’t going to make that mistake again today. We’re alright.
