The Swamp

Feel like we should pump the brakes on “the Jets are contenders, baby!” until they beat a good team.

I wish him long life but it’s a blessing Jimmy Carter will likely die with a Democrat in the White House so he’ll get the send off he deserves. I mean, maybe not? (If he makes it 61 more days he’ll get a shoutout from Al Roker on the Today Show, probably a life highlight for a lot of people but a l...

I feel like I should be empathetic to these guys’ wives, because if there aren’t arrangements in place, or there is more to the relationship than is publicly known, these guys are treating their wives like shit for going on Ashley Madison. But at the same time, they have to see what their husbands ...

(But I mean damn not a bad pull for a 60+ year-old with brain worms.)

Only the best…

When the Patriots end up 3-14 and Cincinnati misses the playoffs by one game they’re gonna rue that Week 1 debacle.

Pretty embarrassing for Arsenal to draw versus an MLS side like Atlanta.

He really is the best player ever, right?
He’s a DH and still not even having the best offensive season of 2024.
He's kinda also a great pitcher too, yes?

I’ve seen that reported elsewhere, yes.

Starting to think this Ohtani guy might be pretty good.

My understanding of the current, newly changed, cost to jump from FCS to FBS is in the 8 figures level. Unless that changes I don't see anyone making that jump any time soon. Pac 12 has a $250M war chest and even if Sac State (or Montana or N Dakota State) goes to MWC they’ll have at least $100M in...

Is the Teamsters Union overwhelmingly white men? Think you answered your own question there. The Teamsters membership at large seems to have some huge logic gap where they think they’re so powerful they’re immune to most governmental interference. The leadership is not so Pollyanna-ish so there’s a...

Revenue wise they’re already at par with the “Mountain West 4” moving to the Pac 12. The divide between the top of FCS and the Group of Five in FBS is mostly non-existent.

Sacramento State is apparently making a big push to get added to the Pac 12. It makes sense. 30,000 students, a great athletic program. Would be the largest media market in the conference. I feel like I follow college sports fairly well and I am only barely aware that Sacramento State is a school p...

Yeah you’ll see various Teamster locals all come out for Harris now. I have a buddy high up in the AZ Teamsters and they’re coordinating a Kamala endorsement to come soon.

This was my thought as well. Most defensive shifts/positioning are pre-ordained these days.

Feels like you guys are missing an “n” but I know that’s his name.

Is this a Mayor Pete sub-post?

America’s Team, baby!

Might get fired at halftime because the team and coaching staff is going to assume I had a stroke after forgetting all in-game procedures and practices and terminology etc.

So one weird quirk of this job is if a shipper makes a small mistake in a shipment it’s not worth the time and money to send the product back to them so we get to keep it so ended up with two cases of Special K Bananas & crème cereal. (I’m going to just put it in our terminal for whomever to tak...

Oh I didn’t see that. Poop. Silly me I thought they might be able to calibrate it to hit only the targets.

I mean, say what you will about Israel's awful tactics in Gaza, but this was some pretty fucking elite shit. They apparently sabotaged Hezbollah's pagers a while ago to include small explosives. That's some creative spy-vs-spy stuff right there. Shit yeah. This was awesome. If the IDF could somehow...

All joking aside I think the B1G and SEC are too Coke and Pepsi for that though I could see the ACC joining the SEC and Big 12 joining the B1G for two megaconferences.

I very much appreciate a coach that recognizes he may not be great at something and gets help or delegates it. It just seemed a little demoralizing for Pierce when they said he brought Marvin Lewis in for situations just like this. It was 4th and 2 in a tie game with the clock running, 1:10 on game...

The Germans just bombed Croatia again.

Like a tree falling in the forest making no sound is it really an assassination “attempt” if no shots are fired?

Panthers are a complete shitshow. Announce they’re going to bench Young.

I get that he’s sucked but seems like you have to let him try to work through it at this point in his career.

I was watching the end of the Raiders-Ravens game and they said the Raiders have Marvin Lewis on the sidelines to help Antonio Pierce with game/clock management. THAT Marvin Lewis? Also I get being a head coach is hard but you shouldn’t need help for that if you’ve been coaching this game for decad...

Bears have never had a 4,000 yard passer but Caleb Williams is on pace to get there if the season is extended to 34 games.

An Arab too. EXECUTE HIM!

Does Houston always wear white at home?

Thought that call was fine It was OK, not egregious the point is the EXACT same contact was let go at the end of the Bucs-Lions game in FAVOR of the Lions in case there’s any questions of where I’m coming from. It’s too big a penalty to be so inconsistently applied and with such a big penalty. I th...

A’ja Wilson becomes first player with 1,000 points in a season. Needs 12 rebounds in last two games (she averages 12 per game) to break single season record.

And I really do think it’s almost always only called in favor of the elite teams in the last five minutes which is another huge issue.

The league needs to do something about PI calls because the only critical ones at the end of games seem to always favor elite teams. And crazy as is it sounds that means the Lions too bc the officials swallowed their whistles on a potential one again Tampa late today though they had been permissive ...
