I'm bringing back something I did years ago for the MLB trade deadline this year:
Full analysis on each trade as they happen for the next week.

Feel free to join me.
MLB Trade Deadline: 24/7 Tracker For Every Move
With only one week remaining for MLB teams to set their rosters for the remainder of the year, there’s still a lot of question marks. Do the Atlanta Braves, despite being one of the most successful or...

My latest explores the two main problems with the 2025 All-Star Game rosters that MLB has, and no, neither of those problems are the fan-vote.

But certain players are being put in an unwinnable situation, while certain markets are being left behind.

Major League Baseball Has An All-Star Problem
In 1984, Blue Jays shortstop Alfredo Griffin made his only All-Star team in a season where he hit .241 and smacked four homeruns while posting both a negative WAR and sub-.600 OPS. This selection wasn...

My latest is a spoiler-free review on Superman.

The verdict: if your sensibilities fall in line with comic books, this is a perfect time for you to go see a movie.

"To reward somebody for ruining the integrity of the game is to encourage continued ruins of the game and its integrity."

My latest explores the complicated Hall of Fame candidacy of Pete Rose, MLB hit king and its biggest scandal, now eligible for HOF election.
Pete Rose: Hall of Fame Candidacy More Complex Than Ever
According to BBWAA voter Tim Kurkijan, who 20 years ago said on ESPN that he’d vote for Pete Rose in the Baseball Hall of Fame if he were ever to be eligible, Rose’s former teammate Hall of Famer Fran...

In my latest, I get political!

Exploring the possibility of film tariffs I've found that they're not only likely impossible, but likely illegal both domestically and internationally.

Furthermore, its impact on the U.S. economy would be devastating.

And it shouldn't be a message sent by a POTUS.
Movie Tariffs: What Do They Mean, Are They Legal, What Are The Ramifications?
Much like every other industry over the past 100 days, an announcement of tariffs has been laid down randomly on social media. Despite uncertainty in the marketplace, a job market that is starting to ...

My latest focuses on one of the more surprising hits of the season: The Pitt.

However, there's many reasons for its success, and other streamers can learn from what made it see growth every single week it released a new episode.

Domestic Opening Day is in just two days! I have taken it upon myself to tab five players in each league that I think will challenge for their respective MVP awards, as well as five additional players who have a shot.

My winners do not include either Judge or Ohtani, so it's an interesting outlook.

Bob Uecker has been the one constant in the Brewers organization since the beginning. He's the bridge from Rollie to Hader, Yount to Yelich, and defined generations of baseball.

I also published this piece today. Farewell to a certified GOAT.
Bob Uecker: The Definition of a Milwaukee Brewer
As Robin Yount lined a routine single the other way off Jose Mesa in a game in 1992, the Brewers icon became the third-youngest hitter to ever log 3,000 hits behind only Henry Aaron and Ty Cobb. As he...

Today I explored the Lynchian style on the substance of filmmaking, how David Lynch used different historical art movements such as German expressionism, avant-garde, constructivism, and surrealism to change the way films are written, made, and produced, but how he's stayed unique despite that.
Keep Your Eye on the Donut: The Lynchian Style
“Keep your eye on the donut,” as David Lynch liked to remind people, “not the hole.” The substance of a film isn’t the center of what catches your eye, rather the crux of its foundation. The Lynchian ...

Todd Bowles isn’t the most inept person at clock management to coach in the NFL this year, but he’s very lucky Matt Eberflus had an NFL job this year.

I think my favorite thing about Nolan casts is that every new project I think to myself 'this is such a random group of people. No way this works' and every single time it works.
Charlize Theron has joined Christopher Nolan’s next movie.

Also starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, & Lupita Nyong’o.
