Never would have thought that betting websites and William Tecumseh Sherman would ever cross paths in conversation. It's a brave new world.

@mikefinger.bsky.social Fun podcast yesterday. Not to be that guy, and I apologize in advance if you've heard this a dozen time already, but the phrase "I will not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected," was first said by former Civil War Union general Sherman. LBJ later paraphrased it.

Saying "I don't know what he's for or against" with a straight face is some Oscar-worthy stuff.

Maybe he can try to get Jontay Porter's lifetime ban reduced. For a price.

"When that news broke..." is really doing a lot of work here. I wonder if "everybody LOVED him" includes the over two dozen women who alleged sexual misconduct against him. Next up, I assume they'll be heading out to Phoenix to vouch for Miles Bridges.

You know I'm making a joke, right? We're on the same side. But not all moves by that narcissistic tub of orange goo deserve outrage. 50% tariffs on goods? Fury. Pettily re-naming lakes he has no authority to rename? Mockery. W/ 2 more years of this slug, I'm pacing myself. Also, I'm a dual citizen.

Our neighbors to the north should re-name it too. They could offer a nod to the former Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and call it Lake Ontario of Canada or if they want to go full spite store, just Lake Canada.

Unless I miscounted, I think the Spurs have 33 nationally televised games. Not enough to cancel League Pass but it's pretty, pretty, pretty good.

I really appreciate this. It's imperative that we get historically accurate representations of Hades, the Sirens, & the Cyclops. That one-eyed giant was done dirty by this "fictionalized" take on his experience. Same goes for the Scylla. We all know that 6-headed cliff monster should've been blonde!

My Vegas plans fell through at the last minute but I wanted to thank you for all the updates. Would have liked to have seen CB's quality performance vs. NY in person but it still came through on the screen. Maybe next year. Look forward to your continued coverage throughout the rest of SL.

@tomorsborn.bsky.social After reading your article, including Carter's quote about expecting Sat. to be a lot better (and w/ no mention of any injury sustained vs. ATL) I'm going to make the 4.5 hour trek to Vegas to see the fellas. That is, unless you've heard anything today about a muscle tweak?

@tomorsborn.bsky.social @jmcdonaldsa.bsky.social Tea-leaf-reading question: How likely is it that Bryant (if healthy) will play vs. NY on Sat.? I'm considering driving 4.5 hrs from L.A. for the day. Happy to see Reed, Gillespie, et al. but the big draw would be watching CB get a chance to show out.

Any chance a recording of the session will be sent out to those of us who signed up but then couldn't attend because of an unexpected, last-minute school drop-off hiccup. But ONLY for people in that that situation?

I'd love any resources you might have to offer. We've booked a short-term rental as an emergency backup for her, but it's well above what a 529 will cover for room & board & some distance from campus. Any suggestions that might get her closer to campus for a reasonable rate are much appreciated.

Andrew Lyons @andirant.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

This is true. Almost everything within a half hour requires selling an organ to pay for. We are trying to secure a short-term rental through one of those apps, but that can be sketchy, with cancellation without warning. Not ideal.

She has been a Stevenson gal for her first two years and loves it, but juniors are at the bottom of the on-campus priority list for next school year, so she's in a dilly of a pickle.

Unless you're trying to find off-campus housing for your daughter for 3 months because she will be studying abroad the rest of the school year. Love the school. Love the campus. Love the town. But trying to secure a place for her to live this fall has been a Sisyphean task. Sigh.

Odd to pick 3 draft outliers from the last quarter century as if it's the norm. Your argument seems to be: it's actually BAD to make deals that could replenish talent at a huge discount because players don't always pan out. That is an unusual team building philosophy: "glass completely empty."

Andrew Lyons @andirant.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Wait, so you're saying that having the ability to draft new, potentially lottery-level talent to replace guys that have become cost-prohibitive at the exact moment when the Spurs will need guys like that...is somehow a bad thing?

Please accept that anything you post while a game's in progress will fairly & logically be judged based on the final result. And any comment that doesn't foresee the future will be a stain on your permanent record, as justice demands. Also, Our American Cousin seems like a great play to see tonight.
