I love the Hoosiers story, and they are a fun team to watch.
But I also smirk at all of the commentators and columnists today saying this team is a juggernaut. This team has zero flaws.
One month ago the same commentators said the exact same thing about Ohio State.
Sports is made for hyperbole.

The ICE officer with visible Nazi tattoos should be an entire news cycle. There should be experts on CNN, splashy infographics on every site. Everyone should be talking about it until he's fired. Instead it floats through my timeline, and a lot of you are probably like, "Wait, what?"

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

1/4 RANT: It frustrates me to see all this "Jack Smith's testimony is damning" stuff, because Jack Smith was gagged and forbidden to discuss anything that wasn't in the indictments themselves -- the indictments that were publicly issued 2 1/2 YEARS AGO, and that apparently nobody read.

Should we be preparing for some other country to come in and seize *our* lawless dictator? Is that how this works?

Nobody should carry expectations of any major change OR long-term answer for at least a couple of years. A) There is no certainty of MLB in '27, and B) as Chelsea has covered well, Manfred is hell-bent on trying to consolidate media rights after '28 (in which case franchise values will soar).
Just to add what I can to the MASN discourse, Nats can always choose to have MLB handle production and distribution of games, as league does for San Diego/AZ/etc. My understanding is that in that case Nats receive whatever revenue they get from any cable deals and streaming subs

This is absolutely stupid.
The Sugar Bowl is over.
This is replay officials gone amok and ignoring the spirit of sport.
How dumb.
Head officials should be given least to declare a game over in this situation.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how lucky Nats fans are to have @markzuckerman.bsky.social, who's covered the team since its inception, deciding to give us his extra time and energy throughout 2025 to research and create 365 posts for a year-long A-to-Z review of Nationals history.
Thanks Mark!

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

It was bad. No actually, it was terrible. Trump gave an interview to Fox’s Laura Ingraham, and with his guard down and no one to blame but himself, he really put his foot in it. And MAGA is pissed AF. My write-up in the replies.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Does this mean Yamamoto will now be the worst starting pitcher in baseball for the next five seasons?
