well I'm sure that two points won't matter, not like Detroit-Dallas hasn't been decided by the NFL before

We need to do everything we can to encourage posts like this on bluesky. Terrible food opinions from big name sportswriters are genuinely the lifeblood of any social media app
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Chat, is it a good sign when the Atlantic's Thanksgiving take is "cabbage is affordable"?
Cabbage is affordable, delicious, and astoundingly versatile, @giladedelman.bsky.social writes. The underrated crucifer “is fit for a king”:

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.

Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.

This is dangerous & disappointing.

Sunday, Rico Dowdle was penalized for giving 2 pumps.
However, in 2020, Aaron Rodgers gave a full 3 pumps WITHOUT drawing a flag.
If we get reviews of every sideline catch, the NFL MUST also produce clear, explicit guidelines of which celebrations are sexual enough to draw penalties.
When is a TD celebration too sexy?
Plus, the NFL field goal record finally falls, Rodger's X's and O's corner, and a devastating lack of awareness by the NFL's leading franchise in devastating quarterback injuries.

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

Tuned out baseball when the Tigers lost but of course tuned into this absolute madhouse of a Game 7

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it.

At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.

Both of those Tigers series featured the worst professional ABs I've ever seen. All around offensive disaster

After the original starters came out this is much more of an offensive travesty than any sort of pitching greatness
