When MLB comes back from the lockout in 2029, the new commissioner needs to institute a rule that if you fail a challenge in the first 3 innings, the challenging player gets ejected. Maybe that'll finally stop these silly challenges on obvious pitches early in games.

That's funny, at least. Reminds me of the Vegas Golden Knights' Twitter account posting a "stat" that they were undefeated in games they led after 3 periods back when their social media team wasn't cringe as hell.

It's almost like MLB has to set rules that say they can't use challenges this early to prevent these dudes from challenging clear results in the 1st inning.

If Scotiabank Arena was turned into a race track, ice and all, what hazards would the track have to make the race more interesting?

And Blue MAGA defended his inaction like he'll give them personal thanks for doing it. Blue MAGA doesn't give me 100% confidence the 2026 and 2028 assignments are getting passed.

Indeed. Not a great situation to be in. Would be nice if officials were actually held accountable by the league more often.

It's almost a competition for who can be worse. Sooner or later, it's gonna end in a ref getting a retaliation shot from a player since no one gets held accountable.

Indeed. If it happens as often as it does here, no one gets surprised when it ends the same way.

And somewhere in the deep dark corners of the internet, some group of hockey fans is writing a 15 page think piece about how refs get too much flack because this call happened in 1398 that no one hated on. The NHL: 15th place out of 4 major leagues for a reason. Several of them.

I totally understand that. You can't just shrug off losing something like that and not getting any sympathy or remorse.

Nothing super extravagant, but I did get a WCW mag from 92 and a couple of early 2000s WWE mags from not long after I first started watching. Price was right, so I went for it.

This side of the state has a lot of the types of stores I like, so that makes me happy. Trying to conserve my money is not easy.

The best part is at least one of these schools is gonna push close to an upset, if not actually get it.

Vacation purchases so far: 3 old wrestling mags from a comic store A bottle of super hot (in theory) hot sauce from a local place Some pins and socks from a store in Wilmington A couple of Laserdisc music titles from a collectibles place Pretty much found everything I'd look for. Now I can relax.

Decided to wear my Bobcats travel pants for the first time. Pretty sure these are meant for a 6'11 Center, not a 6'1 nerd.

Turns out, Baker Mayfield having beef with Atlanta's coach and the entire Panthers franchise and fanbase doesn't work so well when he can't win games or elevate his team. It won't get much better for him, I reckon.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
The same team that Carolina held to 3 points in week 2 now has 45 points tonight. Both those teams are 2-2 while the QB that has beef with the coach of one and the entire other franchise is 0-4.

The manager and front office should've been shown the door long before this point, but current ownership seems content to just do nothing. Makes you wonder when enough is actually enough.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Exactly. Would be the only good thing he ever did for the Canes. Well, that and giving us key pieces of a Cup winning roster.

Vacation update: Lots of thrifting today, which included making my first non-food purchase of the trip: A few wrestling mags, including a WCW mag from 92. Channeling my inner @notthattomgreen.bsky.social with that one, which works since I've binge watched his videos about WCW show histories.

Here I am in a hotel after a long day of travel watching the Panthers on NBC. I hope I'm not disappointed here.

Got to the hotel in one piece and I picked a good one this time. Big room, tub for my Mom, seamless check-in, good stuff.

That's what concerns me. Idk how he doesn't have handlers helping him here. He's gonna step in it big time eventually.

This is what MLB gets for not addressing the cheap owner problem that has plagued so many teams while going after the teams that actually spend. The only question is does Manfred survive as commissioner when MLB has baseball again. For the league's sake, I hope not. He needs to go. 5 years ago.

With the Dodgers, MLB is in a no-win scenario for labor talks. If the Dodgers win the World Series, the cries for a salary cap will probably cost us the 2027 season. If they fail to win? MLB's salary cap argument will fall on deaf ears enough to potentially cost us more than 2027.

It honestly feels like none of these big names actually have any sort of PR training that would prevent these types of faux pas maneuvers in the media. Not a good thing for the "corporate" company.
000
Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
For as much as that company is meant to be the corporate wrestling company, none of their big name talents or executives even have the slightest bit of PR training.

Bold strategy for Trump to go to every battleground state and complain about the GOP's nominee to anyone that'll listen to him. I would say "surely the Dems can't screw this up", but then I remember what party I'm talking about, so I'm not guaranteeing anything until the votes are counted.

The only question is whether or not the country of Texas is gonna be dumb enough to fall for it. I'm putting pretty good odds on them absolutely being dumb enough and staying the country of Texas.

"Gabriel Kidderminster, coming at you live with Kidderminster Harriers vs Worthing at Aggborough Stadium in, you guessed it, Kidderminster!" Idk why I just imagined a mascot for a Kidderminster football club named Gabriel Kidderminster, but here we are.

It's like they seek to learn the exact wrong lessons from everything the GOP screws up in the hopes their base is dumb enough to keep believing them. It's just their luck that Blue MAGA is indeed dumb enough.

Looking into 3D printers again and I might wanna get a 3d printer file made for Race Day related stuff so I can print donor cars whenever I want. I wish I knew what I needed to do for it. If anyone on my timeline can point me in the right direction of someone that can do it, I'm all ears.

I appreciate you ranting about the officiating stuff every time you do it because it still annoys me to this day that so many people online try to make so many excuses for the officiating in this league like Wes McCauley or Kelly Sutherland are gonna give them personal thank yous for it.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It's like the Democrats seek to learn the exact wrong lessons from every single thing the GOP did or does in order to see what they can get away with. The fact that it's likely to work because of Blue MAGA irritates me to no end.

I'm still really glad I never delved into PSP emulation that often when I have a perfectly competent PSP always at my fingertips whenever I want it. Real hardware is more fun anyway.

Amen. There's a good handful of races you could easily replace on the calendar in favor of bringing Sepang back.

Of course he was respectful. He totally didn't randomly show up riding a motorcycle one day and continued to do it for a couple years afterwards. That totally didn't happen.

If F1 is smart, they'll host races in Sepang every year again. Sadly, F1 is currently run by a man trying to kill both that series and the premier series in rallying, so I have my doubts they'll be smart.

Makes me glad I never really delved into PSP emulation and stuck with my actual PSP 3000 that I carry with me all the time.

Or if you can't find a used Vita at a good price, PSPs are still pretty cheap and CFW now makes use of bigger than 128 gig cards thanks to Leftovers and the various filesystem improvements. Stick a 256 gig card in there and you're golden. Or a 1TB card if you're a baller.

Sounds like it's probably a good thing that I've resigned myself to Caddy going pointless this season after failing to capitalize on Baku nonsense. It was already a longshot from the start of the season, but I was hopeful they'd sneak one out. Now I just want them to still look like a team.

And the only way they seem to manage it well enough is having everyone split into conferences like a normal US sport would. Metro Detroit has a conference, Florida has like 7 or 8 at this point, so on and so forth.

Yep! 608 in the Premier Division, 621 in Division 1, and 97 in Division 2 (which just started this fall). It's like if I created a football league, really.

Idk how much of this I could translate to Football Champions, but I can probably figure a way around the problem of a lack of ratings data by just estimating ratings.
