Thrilled for Brendan and thrilled for us that we get to read Brendan. It's time for the public sphere to take all the great writers back, pillage MLB until there's nothing left but empty suits
Well if it isn’t just the best news. @bgawlowski.bsky.social is a gem, Fangraphs is better for having him, and now I can mock him in public again.

Unfortunately today’s politics basically make it impossible to become a senator without being a bitch.

I think the Seahawks are the best team in the NFL, which is odd.

Some are referring to leading Wisconsin passer Sean West as their kicker, as he's listed. But he's been playing punter, only recently joining their two-punter rotation while also running for 20 yards against Ohio State. One of Wisconsin's two punters is their entire offense. Best team in the world
Wisconsin's leading passer in the big win today. The Big Ten West is immortal

Anytime you can run 4,675 consecutive pass plays inside your own 20 you simply have to do it.

Weekend plug for The Light Bat’s return. The Mariners have a big opportunity ahead of them. After 2022 they squandered an even bigger one. It’s on them to read the room and avoid repeating history. thelightbat.substack.com/p/11625-we-a...

Great thread from my guy who is simply the best there is
I've noticed that there isn't much talk here about the current internecine war that is unfolding on the right, spearheaded in large part by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I know this shit is insane and feels bad. But this is a mistake (1/)

OK, look. Some folks think I write for a "salary." That I do it to "feed my children." But that's a lie. The real reason I write is for you. Why else would I look at pictures of knee surgery, or compare line items on the Cincinnati Reds' budget, or think about Leody Taveras at all? It's FOR YOU.

A winning message with broad populist appeal, surely
I reached out to a White House spokesperson for comment. They said “the pope doesn't know what he’s talking about.”
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV Denounces Trump-Vance Decision to Block Eucharist from ICE Detainees
After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.

Last night’s election results were the first public evidence that Trump’s political standing is a lot weaker than folks want you to believe. It’s important to note that it was not Democratic politicians but voters who delivered the first big blow. This feels like when Drago got cut in Rocky IV.
Chief Justice Roberts is out. Says the major questions doctrine pretty clearly applies here; the tariffs simply can't survive that. Looks like five pretty clear votes against Trump.
And we STILL haven't gotten to Gorsuch...

While NFL players seem to believe the NFL's sexual celebration rules are highly specific (a la Key and Peele's 2 pumps vs. 3 pumps), the actual rule asks each ref to determine what is illegally sexy based on their personal preferences
