Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 05/10/2026And Michigan has almost never been an “Instant Success” team. They usually are a three to four year build to becoming a national power kind of team. 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I had a random edition of an encyclopedia from the 70’s that had super cheap pictures of the plaster casts of the dead people of Pompeii. They were horrifying 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Well, yinz whipped my daughter’s beloved Boilermaker squad… 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Last night in North Columbus the head ref at the football game said “Touchdahn”. My accent spider sense started tingling. 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 03/10/2026@opg.bsky.social Pitt Women’s Club Water Polo anyone? 201
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Imagine explaining to people who know nothing about college football that the rich teams are in Alabama, Ohio, and Louisiana. 021
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yeah…but after listening to song after song in new rap with beats made on a child’s Casio keyboard, I really appreciate Kanye’s hooks. I will take the mediocre voice work. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Sorry, I made that statement assuming that baseball would have a cap and floor but didn’t state it. You are 100% correct that revenue sharing doesn’t mean that owners will spend. They will keep every dollar possible. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I disagree. The Nuggets owner isnt willing to spend their way into the NBA’s luxury tax level, but the structure of the league’s finances means that they aren’t at a massive spending difference even when making that choice. And they won a title with that model and have been great for almost a decade 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So the question is this: would MLB be a better product if they had the same rev-share system as the NFL? 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And with the Chiefs, you never ever hear the term “small market”. It just isn’t in the vernacular of football because of the way they share money. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026For example, the Chiefs can be a legitimate dynasty in the NFL because where a team is located only matters for clicks and SportsCenter (see the last 30 years of Cowboys football). But the Royals have almost no path to be a ten year dynasty level team like the Chiefs have been. 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Sure, but that is like claiming that Medicaid is as good as some kind of corporate platinum health care plans. And I’m not trying to exonerate teams like the Reds. They are utterly incompetent and have no interest in trying to win. However their margin for error even when trying is tiny. 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is true, but subsidies will never beat real revenue in pursuit of a player. The Kyle Tucker contract told teams like the Reds that it doesn’t matter how hard you try in Free Agency, teams like the Dodgers have almost infinite and can afford to pay players they don’t even need. 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026From a purely competitive standpoint, I would love to see baseball’e revenue become more nationalized than localized (like the NFL). It would make for a much more competitive environment. There are plenty of ways to ensure that players get paid and every franchise can compete. 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Too many teams (including my Reds) are using teams like the Dodgers as both a reason to not try to spend money on their team and a reason to pocket revenue sharing checks. The worst of both worlds. 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 27/09/2026For me, it just sounds like hundreds of other songs that might exist in the background in public spaces. So I’ve probably heard it but it didn’t particularly stand out. Also, I feel like less stores have music playing in the background, which is often where I would hear stuff like this. 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’m not uncool. It’s these kids who don’t love Steely Dan and the Hunt for Red October who are uncool. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’m hoping this all ends with a graphic novel discussing the rise and fall of the Supine 110
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’m sure this isn’t the only reason, but I think schools have had a big impact. Suicide Prevention has become a major initiative in schools. In line with that, we have massively invested in social workers and mental health specialists. 280
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 23/09/2026@edsbs.bsky.social My grandmother, a two-time widow and massive Bridge fanatic, once told a 12 year-old me, “The only man under whose bed I would put my shoes is Omar Shariff.” When she said this, she was in her late 70’s, only wore house coats, and had both an oxygen tank and a hunchback. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 22/09/2026So everyone who doesn’t have one wants to own one and everyone who owns one wants to sell it? 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 21/09/2026“What does a Yellow Light mean?” “Slow down” “Oh…ok…wwhhaatt ddooeess aa yyeellooww lliigghhtt mmeeaann?” “Slow Down!” “Wwwwwwhhhhhhaaaaaattttt……ddddooooeeeesssss….aaaaa..” 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 20/09/2026There is no franchise quite like the Bears. On the broadcast Fox showed the Bears all time leading receiver by yardage. Dude is 90. Here is the list. Ditka is top 5. Only 1 of the top 5 is an actual WR. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Imagining all the burnouts Papa John could do in that massive parking lot 140
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It’s been about 6 months since we lost Charlie. Between losing him and sending a kid to college, my house is very quiet and often lonely. 000
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Imagining Herbert surrounded by the talent in Philly… 110
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 17/09/2026“Every town….has its up and downs. Sometimes ups….outnumber the downs…but not at Swizzle Inn…” 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 16/09/2026At Ohio U, you took as many student ID’s as you could gather to the old Baker Student Center front desk where they would open an unlocked drawer and hand you a free ticket for every ID you had. Then you could leave Baker, give those same ID’s to another student, who would the go get more tickets. 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 15/09/2026A shame that the Reds don’t even bother trying to put a competitive team around him. We used to matter and now we are completely irrelevant. The Reds have won two playoff games since 1995… 010
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Catch the ball. Hold onto the ball. Let Arch run. Stop throwing screens. Not that difficult 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Texas is just playing bafflingly confusing football. Did they plan for this game? 100
Keith Day @improbus00.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Especially when you start with “no salt added” ingredients 020
