About 8 in 10 posts here get an intent label; the model only labels the ones it is sure of.
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
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
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.

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”

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.

SI will always mean Sports Illustrated to me first and foremost, but the first thing I think of when I hear those letters is suicidal ideation, which is serious and something I have to navigate with clients daily. Good luck with the rebrand, fellas.
Someone else pointed out that he’s a regular at Padres games where they sing this song in the middle of the 8th, so he’s been through this. And he’s probably performed this song thousands of times. And this moment STILL makes him emotional.
