Philly sports, AEW, and great cinema. Also, sarcasm. Jawning in moderation.

I haven't watched TNF in a while, so I have to ask: is the crowd audio always *this* bad? No discernable reaction to the hit that knocked the ball up.

Moxley, Kidd, Davis, and Doyle should have a rematch where they all wear bowler hats and wallop each other with hobo bindles. #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

No, people love him because he’s “unhinged” (which I guess means, “Makes it about himself.”)

His greatest contribution was inspiring the best Church Chat in SNL history. Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks are far more dearly missed. youtu.be/YqxJqnoKD_A?...

No, the US *did* win in Iran. It's just that because of their short-sightedness, they never booked a follow-up program, so it's been rematches galore since.

If they cared about their WWE favorites, they’d watch them if they jumped ship to AEW. Some do, many don’t because those wrestlers are traitors.

Had the MLB.com gameday screen up (20-30 sec ahead of TV). Saw where the called ball was placed. Knew immediately JT was gonna challenge and win. Saw the pitch on TV and damned if JT didn't leap up, tapping his head with max confidence.

Apparently, the Phillies player who swings and misses at the most breaking balls receives a seven-figure bonus. That’s important money to squirrel away going into a probable lockout.

Tomlin has potential to be like Aikman, just plain and honest about what he sees. I think he’d do great, but I just hope it would stay genuine and non-performative. I feel like everything he says would be twisted into clickbait, the shit that directionless dopes watch on the morning drivel.

I was born during the Reagan years, and TVs mounted in the classroom only became standard *while* I was a student. Until then, when the teacher rolled the TV in on that sturdy wheeled cart, learning was over for the day, baby!

Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

Last night on SNF, the sidebar preview of halftime discussions topics had one that said “Cowboys crumble”. Not “Ravens win”, but that Dallas lost. “When Poochie isn’t on screen, everybody should be asking, ‘Where’s Poochie?”

In live action, I thought it was PI. Only on replay did I see how good a sell-job it was (and I was rooting against the Rams, honestly). If soccer players could flop as convincingly in real-time, there'd be a lot less scoffing from viewers.

RIP Pac. Was always a favorite. Something about his meat-and-potatoes presentation melding with next-level aerodynamics that made him so special. Just horrible news.

Maybe they need Moxley to yell the exposition out loud, like community theater for dullards. "I'm smiling because I see Will has passed my tests, and I know I've bred a worthy main eventer! I now offer myself to the fate that awaits me!" Some people need ChatGPT for instructions on how to blink.
