one of these was to the browns who's head coach was locked in a basement with covid
An underrated part of the past ~seven years of the Tomlin Steelers is that all of their season-ending losses are by a million points

Just opened BlueSky and saw 10 posts in a row about John Schneider’s pit stains. This is a sports app!!!

David lays out the field. Almost.
My Premier League predictions

Definites - Littler, Humphries, GVV, MVG.
Possibles - Four from Clayton, Wade, Bunting, Price, Rock, Aspinall, Anderson

Aspinall may get in as a beaten finalist last year and crowd pleaser. It depends on whoever else wants the grind of it against the money TBE.

Darts Bluesky, from the veterans to the newbies, crew by leaps and bounds this year.

This was such a fun place during the whole tournament. Thanks for adding so much entertainment during this dance.

See you for the Premier League announcement on Monday 😉

Luke Littler goes back to back and the camera cuts here on his last 3 darts are 🤌🏼

Luke Littler isn’t going to lose a major final this coming year.

If you’re going to get him in a major it has to be an early round where you play perfect in a shorter format.

If he makes it to the end he isn’t losing.

A 147 to win it all. Sheeesh

Gian Van Veen is an incredible player. Already has a major. Will be in the Premier League.

But after set three he absolutely imploded

Gian Van Veen must be a Carolina Panthers fan. He wants off that stage.
January 3, 2026 at 9:22 PM
Van Veen looks like he’s ready to end this match and get on to the Premier League.

First time I’ve ever seen littler scared!

This match is over.

BIG FISH AGAIN

The number to watch is Luke’s doubles. Him being at 5/13 so far is astounding and not in the good way.

If he bounces back he’ll be fine. But he needs to.
January 3, 2026 at 8:45 PM
Legit Littler may have to throw a nine to break some of GVV’s throws.
January 3, 2026 at 8:40 PM
A 145 to steal!
January 3, 2026 at 8:37 PM
Both guys had their worst set of the tournament!
January 3, 2026 at 8:30 PM
Gian imploded in the third leg. This set is over.
January 3, 2026 at 8:26 PM
12 darter and a 116 checkout to open Lolol.

The absolute downgrade in darts MC after John McDonald retires today is astronomical.
