Ashley’s Dad, umpire, scuba diver. I post about the Yankees, the NFL, classical history, Rush and education
One thing I love about MLB is that unlike NFL and NBA, the officiating in baseball doesn’t drive me completely crazy!

It’s an impressive feat for a show to create characters so compelling that you truly don’t want them gone from your life. You feel sad that with the finale they now are. Even if, perhaps because, they are deeply flawed people, you still are fascinated. I will miss White Lotus!

Terry Bradshaw has been out of the league 42 years and he’s still pontificating for some reason. That means you’ll have Patrick Mahomes in your life until like 2075.

Ignorance and slobbery has been advancing against knowledge and refinement for a long time, but ignorance and slobbery didn’t just win a battle, it won the whole damn war. That’s the story of 2024!

One thing that makes high school teaching such a bizarre and sometimes depressing trip is that it’s the only business where the customers are often happier when less, or even none, of the product is actually delivered!

I don’t care that it worked. Dan Campbell is reckless. That’s as dumb a decision as l’ve ever seen and it was so close to being an all time blunder as Goff tripped.

3.2 million teachers are heading to work today to spend six hours with your kid. At the top of the pyramid is a wrestling executive who legally bribed the president.

I knew everyone on my block growing up. I’ve lived in the same house 15 years and there are four people on my street I’ve had multiple conversations with. None I’ve had a meal or drink with. I’m a social person. I think this disconnect plays a huge part in our degraded culture and politics.

This nonsense where if you hit the QB hard it’s a penalty, and he also gets to fling it away for no sack as he’s being dragged to the ground more gently by the defender, drives me nuts.

It's interesting to me that everyone is admitting today they got conned by Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, but they still can't admit to being conned by Trump.
