To say nothing of laundering it through "interviews" with ""fans"", might as well put Bob Nutting in disguise and let him wax poetic on the beauty of spending parity

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

Screen shot from a YouTube video by someone named MEpearl, an older woman with short hair wearing a red long sleeve shirt and a dark floral scarf. She sits before a wall of books, though it may be a photograph of a wall of books, but the important detail is that in her lap is a beautiful possum, and that possum is eating from a plate of fruit on the table before them. The title of this video is “is your possum a narcissist.” It has 31k views and was posted 5 days ago.
