Cheesecake Factory is also a rerun of the Cracker Barrel thing because, as always, the only way Americans are supposed to express our values is through brand loyalty and consumption. What we order off the dessert menu is who we are.

I like long walks on beaches with strawberries and peaches.

The kicker on this story has a Usual Suspects-level twist. Truly one of the most shocking things I’ve ever read in a sports story.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

I’m so glad after three miserable seasons of Trea Turner, we’re still taking his feelings into consideration. Dave Dombrowski has done it again.
Dave Dombrowski said it’s “mandatory” that Trea Turner play a better shortstop in 2027 and Turner is “determined” to show the Phillies he can. For now, the Phillies are keeping him at SS, but Dombrowski discussed position changes with Turner. He prefers to stay on infield.

I truly can’t imagine being a Giants fan.
Trade! The Vikings are sending QB J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick, sources tell The Ringer and Netflix Sports. With Jaxson Dart out for the regular season, New York adds another young QB, while Minnesota gains flexibility and McCarthy gets a fresh start.
