This is an aggressively stupid post that confuses the “shut up and dribble” crowd with the “your opinion is stupid and I’m going to tell you why” crowd. They are, in actuality, wildly different feelings to have.

This is all I could see every time Woodford got the ball back and looked off into space.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our dog Ham. Today has sucked, so excuse me while I post a bunch of pictures of my buddy.

Whoever schedules out the @chicagotribune.com sports posts here is consistently a day off. All gamers are posted more than a day late and previews like this come out after the game was played.

EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA FOR OVER A MONTH! At that point I think I'd rather fully explode.

"The main symptom of cyclosporiasis is severe, watery “explosive” diarrhea.

People who get infected may also experience appetite loss, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and a low-grade fever, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Cyclosporiasis can last for a few days to over a month or longer. Symptoms may come in waves, and return more than once after going away, also known as “relapses,” per the CDC."

I couldn’t make it through the very first award before the ESPYS made a fool of itself. Matthew Stafford is a great QB, but he’s not even the best QB in the league, definitely not the best player overall. And miles from the best athlete. And his team didn’t win shit. What the hell are we doing here?

Best Athlete, Men’s Sports

-Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks
-Lionel Messi, Inter Miami CF
-Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers
-Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams”

Philadelphia could pull this off. But I guess New York City might not be as good as Philly...

Listen if the Cubs were going to beat any NFL franchise it would probably be the Saints. But I just don’t like needing California guys like PCA to find a way to win in Detroit in November.

The chyron on Marquee Network mistakenly having the Cubs play the Saints and Lions instead of the Bears.

This is the first person I’ve wanted to seek out on social media to yell at for being so ridiculously wrong headed.

An unknown person who is the worst person you’d ever be stuck in a conversation with at a pretentious party explaining why the government shouldn’t get diapers for babies.

I wasn’t planning on eating them anyway. But this is some news you can use. No word on if it’s ok for non-dog owners

$1 per player per year that MSU had an NFL QB take a snap during the unbroken streak from 2000-2015. But sent to PTK, because what the hell is MSU football doing right now. -Smoker -Stanton -Hoyer -Foles -Cousins -Cook @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @protecttranskids.university

I love baseball fans so much.

An email responding to a survey reading:
"The entire ABS system should be immediately and permanently scrapped. Instead, employ a 3-dimensional strike zone for every hitter, which is the strike zone the rules of MLB dictate (not the stupid 2-dimensional zone ABS now uses), and let the new system call whether or not every pitch enters the strike zone. That way, every strike will be called a strike, and every ball will be called a ball, as it should be (excepting of course those very limited situations where an actual umpire will have to determine whether there was a swing, a check swing, a hit-by-pitch, etc.). Who can fairly complain if the call is correct EVERY TIME? Players, managers, and fans deserve nothing less, and with present technology, the call can be made immediately on a scoreboard after every pitch. You’d have no delays, and no arguments. Everyone gets rewarded for perfection."

I love this article so much

"Freshman kinesiology major Troy Fox was one of the first to test his luck against the group of Spartans that once boasted the nation's No. 1 defense. Severely undersized, he gave it his all and said it was fun trying to get past the players. Having fun was the focus for Fox, who was drenched in sweat by the end of the game."

2011: The movie Moneyball is released, documenting the 2002 Oakland Athletics who built a team out of castoffs and scraps with a forward thinking front office that had absolutely no investment from ownership and still managed to win games. 3/

1989: The movie Major League is released about a baseball team with comically cheap ownership that finds a way to put together the pieces of oddball talent and wins anyway. Those cheap castoffs beat the highly paid superstars. 2/
