They fired the Oriole Bird!! ☹️ First the Guinness brewery in Baltimore, next the Oriole Bird… someone better start wrapping John Waters up in bubble wrap before something happens to him next. nytimes.com/athletic/7667147/2…
I read the plaque after I posted this and immediately noticed the mention of an MVP in 1931. In 1931, Klein finished second in the BWAA MVP voting to winner Frankie Frisch. But it turns out that he DID win the MVP awarded by The Sporting News in 1931 (and 1932).
While a late-season surge boosted Northern Kentucky last year, losing 10 players in the off-season puts the Norse in a tough, but not impossible, spot to improve on that. Alex Perez has the preview. #HLWBB horizoneroundtable.com/2026/10…
I looked up this stat because the film shows that Jalen consistently started with Wicks on his progressions Sunday even though he was usually plastered by Trent McDuffie--then play was dead before he could progress to backside. Including the biggest play of the game: 4th & goal.

I’m an absolute idiot and forgot my own newsletter today where i specifically said one team did force a game 5, Phoenix in the 2018 semis, because the fact that no one ever did it in the Finals has become an intrusive thought. Shouts to @sabreenajm.bsky.social for reminding me of 2018

The umpiring crew for Game 6 in 2004 that overruled two incredibly high-leverage calls to get them right without the benefit of replay in front of a hostile crowd has never gotten enough credit
Just putting it out there: if any bougie people or companies need seat fillers for tomorrow’s game, or if anyone has a ticket they can’t use, I’d LOVE to scream/ cheer on the Valks in person instead of from my couch. #SF #GoldenStateValkyries #Valkyries #ILoveWomensSports #WNBA #GetFediEntertained
Five years ago tonight, I was at Game 2 of the NLDS in SF. A little old lady wanted to throw hands with me because of Adric. I made her feel both real bad and real dumb. Most of the fans left early, which shows a lack of character. Back when I thought spending $300 for a ticket was largesse.
Ravens need to go for it on 4th every down and 2-point conversions. They also need to bench marlo for the season. He's toast anyway, now he's orange toast.
Often I find myself telling folks unfamiliar w/the WNBA that it's like if The Barbie Movie were real life. Because the players and staff are so talented, smart, beautiful and inspiring. I'm such a proud fan of this sport. Let's go Liberty!! Drinks on the house if Stewie gets 50 points tonight 🏀

Kasey Kahne coming back to NASCAR is exciting, was never a huge fan of his but now that he's an unretiring 46 year old in a series who really needs some more veteran drivers I'm rooting for him. His Truck record is great (5 wins, 6 starts, worst of 2nd) but he hasn't been in one for 11 years or full-time in NASCAR since pre-Covid so I'm not expecting the moon. But he was very competitive in the NOAPS race he ran last year and he's continued to sharpen his skills as a sprint car driver during his "retirement", so I think being a top 10 driver is a realistic expectation. I miss when much of the Truck series was aging veterans of Cup and NOAPS, so I'm into it. #NASCAR #motorsport #motorsports
Tonight I decided to learn the origins of "The Catbird Seat" and now you can (maybe) learn something too.
One of my favorite aspects of the Timberwolves' 4-around-1 offensive setup is how interchangeable the positions have been. Those among the 4 perimeter players on the floor have spent time atop the key, in the slots, and the corners. No one camping in the corners extensively

Rays winning a series -- at Yankee Stadium, no less -- in *those* jerseys is like Bucs winning a Super Bowl in the creamsicles, or if Sixers decided to break out the old shooting stars jerseys deep in the playoffs. You're talking about unis historically associated with failure.

Narrator: The Ravens went on to have the worst season of theirs or any other teams entire career. Aaron Rupar Trump: "We almost have Baltimore Ravens star -- oh ho ho, these guys are making a lot of money, they're going very well. I think they're 3-1 or something. Ravens star Marlon Humphrey, Tyler Loop, Brian Eckley, and Nick Moore. Could you stand up? Say hell to your quarterback. I know his mother."

Just once, in a regular season game where the Dodgers have a huge lead and it doesn’t matter, I want to see Dave Roberts let Kiké Hernandez play catcher for like one at-bat.
I don’t think you can replace Chuck without having a HOF fill the seat. two hall of famers, a champion, and a journalist—all with personalities is the winning formula. I like Rose but don’t Inside the NBA is about the analysis, it’s more like the mannings cast.

when Max Muncy - at the time a 25-year-old barely-playing utility guy for a bad Oakland A’s team with a .611 career OPS - was released the day before the 2017 season started, I smiled widely and confidently stated “he will end his career with at least as many postseason home runs as Albert Pujols”

A wrinkle in what utilizing Aday Mara in the hub provides for the Thunder’s offense Threads the needle to a cutting Jalen Williams, which collapses the defense, kicks it out to Alex Caruso for the open 3 Ends in a miss but adds another layer to OKC’s offense, especially in half-court actions

The heartiest of fuck yous to whoever coded the ESPN app — WHICH I AM PAYING FOR — to block skipping past the ads when watching behind live. Yes, it even forces you to watch the“no ad buy in your market for this slot”placeholder.
My favorite non-Hali-return adjacent observation from that half of ball is that Siakam is out there arguing calls in a preseason game. His level of genuine, non-contrived competitiveness is both deeply unhealthy and hilarious. I love that guy.
