And that's less to do with the levels and more to do with the philosophies involved. You have to be committed to playing the game or the game will devolve to the lowest common denominator level.

I've got a lot of time for @profspur.bsky.social's take on the Premier League. I was thinking about this while watching Italy v. France on Friday and my son's HS game. Two contrasting things. One free flowing. One just physicality, no skill. #COYS profspur.substack.com/p/does-the-p...

Does the Premier League Suck?
Manchester City are the villains, but does the problem run deeper?

What Scott often misses is that treating college as a luxury good while telling people it is the only way to get a job or career, it acts as a form of power and control. To keep a certain class of people "in their place."

The Pope may not be an “AI influencer” but he’s definitely an “influencer”. I’m also betting his stans are as vocal as Taylor Swift’s when their king is questioned.

I used to listen to @tomleykis.bsky.social talk about wine and drinks. I found one of my favorite lower cost bourbons from Tom: The Devil's Cut from Jim Beam. So I'm an OG on craft beverages, but I'd like to figure out a way to throw it all away and start a business around cocktails. Drinks. 😘

To me it’s a lack of cohesion and not a lack of skill from the coach. I’ve been wrong to believe in the club and the leadership before. So everything is: I could be proven wrong at any moment.

I believe we will get it together. This is almost a total rebuild. It will take some time to click. This isn’t last year where we were hopeless from the start and going south. At least to me. We’ve seen some positives. We’ve seen some negatives.

Happy retirement to Justin Verlander. Here’s a throwback to me helping Kate Upton change your Wikipedia photo for my talk show WikiWhat!
Me and Kate Upton sitting at a computer in a fake doctor’s office. She is saying: He should get his picture changed. It’s not what he looks like.Kate Upton looking at Justin Verlander’s wikipedia page. She’s saying: He has that hat crease it’s just mean.Kate pointing at a picture in a mosaic of pictures as I watch. She’s saying says: “Look how cute this one is. You can even cut me out.”

Vinai does have experience with patience and new managers though. And look at the Thomas Frank case last season, he will take the heat if it’s the right move. He also might give time to someone not deserving like Frank. But it’s also bonkers that RDZ rebuilt the team and folks say, “hurry up.”
