It’s a parody of performative toxic masculinity as performed by an Arrested Development character any time he speaks or moves.

"Don't make the first or third out on third," really may be the best bit of baseball conventional wisdom out of the myriad options.

Where I’ve landed: I don’t think people should be fired over dumb tweets they made when they were 15 but if you’re interviewing for a high profile public-facing job and don’t scrub your account, that’s on you.

1. House is a complete unknown 2. This vote is hopefully some ceremonial Senatorial group hug they can do because they know it won’t pass the House 3. Long term I can’t see any arrangement of the current Supreme Court that wouldn’t see this as a restriction of interstate commerce

There's no shortage of reasons why the 2026 Mariners disappointed, but also: - slowest team in baseball, 2026 - one of the five weakest defensive teams since 2016 That's a tough way to win. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...

Not long ago, many college kickers weren’t even on scholarship. In the NIL era, they’ve created an informal network to share pay information and win big raises. “They basically self-created their own market.” www.wsj.com/sports/footb...

College Football Kickers Were Underpaid. Then They Started Texting.
Players at the afterthought position have created a quiet but powerful information network and are leveraging it for big pay raises.
