Land Clerk implies the existence of a Land Judge so Land Clark the Land Clerk works with both a Line Judge and Land Judge?
Don't know if people know this but the head referee for Bucs-Chiefs is Land Clark. His day job is the Chief Building Official for a municipality in New Mexico. So Land Clark is a Land Clerk.

That’s an Andrew Friedman bat-signal if I ever saw one.
Derek Falvey wants to build on what the #MNTwins already have in place. But if the Twins continue to tear it down, Byron Buxton might be open to waiving his no-trade clause.

When Miguel Rojas hit his game-tying home run, it was the ninth-most impactful play in MLB history. It is now the eleventh-most impactful play in MLB history.

Pretty good 368-day run.

It was 19 yesterday morning (and it probably still is, really). But Delta rerouted my return flight from Maui through Honolulu so now it’s kind of 20?

The Jays are absolutely blowing a 4-1 lead tonight.
Dude I love the Leafs more than anybody but we need to tear that jersey off of him, kick him outside and make him re-enter the building right now.
A wild choice from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as he arrives at the Rogers Centre in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.
Clearly some thinking behind it — but not exactly the Game 7 history you want to be replicating tonight.
Just four hours away now.

The basic cable edit is the best. “Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?”
Flipped to The Big Lebowski on Showtime at just the moment that John Goodman unctuously said "Pilar?" to kick off the Larry Is This Your Homework scene. Auspicious. Big week coming.

It’s also true that no salary floor will actually force cheap owners to field a competitive team. 15 minutes of reading about the Phoenix Coyotes will make that clear. Cheap owners will always find ways for accounting to say they “got to the floor” without the actual cash expense.
the reality is that wherever you draw the line, the owners will find a way to hide revenue just on the other side. we know this because they've done it repeatedly. the one time they opened their books was a disaster for them.

If the Dodgers win, they need to be capped. If the Brewers win, they're the reason owners point to when they don't spend. Reality is on-field results aren't a big part of the equation for most owners, and *that* is the bigger picture problem.
