You'd think the illegal casino industry would have a better grasp of the odds here

Stephen Caruso@stephenjcaruso.bsky.social

New: At least 80% of Stacy Garrity's recent fundraising haul came from the operators and distributors of skill games, including $2 million from an Pittsburgh man accused by a grand jury of running an illegal gambling ring with his father. www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/10...

I don't care how much he won, by the end I was thrilled when Kevin Willard left Maryland. Doesn't seem like much has changed since then.

Anyone who just casually glances at the box score tomorrow is going to see a no-fuss, comfortable sixers win

Beats a surface parking lot, but 44 parking spaces at Broad and Reed is silly

A new apartment building proposed for South Broad Street is shorter, and smaller, than might be expected (the property is within walking distance of two subway stops). It also has one parking spot for every two apartments, but many neighbors want more: www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

What the fuck

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

To be clear, I think most of us are pretty good drivers b/c we need profound situational awareness to avoid all of the jabronis pulling jerkface moves. Driving in Philly is 10% watching what you’re doing & 90% trying to guess what unhinged drivers near you will do. www.inquirer.com/life/philly-...

Season's cursed. Just scrap the whole thing before someone dies.

The Eagles announce Jalen Hurts is OUT Sunday against Carolina with a blood clot. And, Whoa. Whatever could go wrong, is going on in Philadelphia right now, but the biggest picture read and concern from this has to be for Jalen Hurts’ long-term health.

Gap between USWNT and Spain feels massive right now. We might still be a top 5 team, but we’re nowhere close to #1.

I know this is like the 50th game in England and they know about football at this point but it's so funny to show another country your beautiful game and right off the bat you get "kickoff touchdown overruled by offsetting penalties and multiple ejections"

I’ve never opened Threads on purpose, but every accidental visit is such a treat. You scroll for thirty seconds and find five of the most unhinged posts you’ll see all day.

Strategically located between the Delaware and Schuykill Rivers, Philadelphia has immense resource advantages in access to the Atlantic and the Interior. Were all human knowledge lost, we would never replicate language or culture but we would probably reinvent math, science and Philadelphia.

Not only did Nola vs Wheeler not matter because they both sucked, the offense wasn’t good enough to win for either of them anyway. A pretty comprehensive failure barring a miracle.

Just like Dombrowski is to blame for Duran needing to pitch in the 7th and 8th yesterday, he's to blame for not trading for a real outfielder at the deadline and putting Bryce in a position to blow that play. Taylor Ward makes that catch.

Oh Bryce. He's done remarkably well out there since moving off first, but that's a pretty fitting way for this season to end.

it's so wonderful that even as Ronaldo had endless opportunities to close his international career on his own terms as a legend, he has chosen instead "inscrutably pissy" as an approach to the end

Hate to see Tim Ream retire from the USMNT but at 38 it's time to focus on the next stage in life: opening a Bluesky account

Showalter not using Zack Britton in 2016 will haunt me forever. You don’t ever want to go down like that.

Matt Winkelman@mattwinkelman.bsky.social

It was the correct move, Don Mattingly made a correct bullpen move. He put his closer in for the 7th and 8th because it was the best chance to see the 9th. Duran piped a 99.9 mph fastball that got hit. There is a litany of managers who lost with their closer standing in the bullpen.

I actually didn’t think Mattingly had ‘Duran in the 7th and 8th’ in him, so all credit to him for doing it. Just didn’t work out.

Joe Edinger@joeedinger.bsky.social

I’ve been hating on Mattingly all season. You had to use Duran for two innings somewhere today. Blame that on Dave Dombrowski for not assembling a competent bullpen
