Insanely funny and revealing for MLB to run Super PAC-style "MLB needs a salary cap!" ads on the broadcast during a postseason series between two teams that finished bottom five in payroll

Da Coach was not only an icon in Chicago, but the entire football world. Our thoughts are with Mike Ditka’s family, friends, and Bears fans today. May his memory be a blessing.

So a lot of people are talking about how the Cowboys should have just kicked the PAT when they were down 8 at the end of that game, mostly because if it went to overtime, they were big favorites. They'd win the OT period. Many of you have seen this chart — we'll start here.

I think we need to differentiate between “AI uses a lot of water!” (not necessarily bad on its own) and “AI stresses local water supplies” (a potentially real issue). The distinction is important because even “modest” use can cause serious issues, especially given the locations of data centers

There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story. It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵: www.wired.com/story/burner...

Another one: “The Bears recorded six rushing touchdowns in Week 1, tied with the 1920 Detroit Heralds, 1920 Rock Island Independents and the 1922 Canton Bulldogs for the most in a season opening game in NFL history.” (Always good company when you’re talking those teams)

Iyana Martín is still only 20, by the way. Younger than Hidalgo or JuJu, all of two weeks older than Sarah Strong. And she's not just good - she's really *fun*. One of those players that lights the place up and gets people off their seats. Also a leader, even at her age among veterans. #FIBAWWC

Bit of a deep dive on rushing yards over expected (RYOE). I’ll start with the takeaway and then dig into the details. Takeaway: RYOE is an average stat when a RB stays with the same NFL team. It’s frankly a bad stat when a RB changes teams (small sample caveat).

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.
