Run, because it's the easiest hard thing to do! Run early, run often, run til you can't run no more.

@BillSimmons Tanking the season has nothing to do with season length. It's purely a risk vs reward, assessment. Shortening the season only means, teams will make that determination earlier in the year, and disengage sooner. Cause that's what fans want to see.

0 for 3! Also — notice how none of the ideas involve shortening the season which is partly how we fell into this tanking sinkhole in the first place. They come up with 3 “solutions” and none of the 3 are “what would 72 games look like?” This league is so frustrating
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania

The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.

@shegone03 @MLB Slow the game down? There are only a handful of these calls per game. Taking roughly 13 seconds to assess. Up until the pitch clock, there'd be at least 35 seconds between every pitch

I’m ready for the Robot Strike Zone! It’s not fair to the @MLB umpires to constantly get questioned on pitches that clip the zone by fractions of inches! They are human beings and they are not perfect! Imagine this type of scrutiny in your 9 to 5 job? You would hate it too! All the ABS System does is prove that they aren’t perfect and slow the game down! #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @hittingguru7 @SalMarinello @AMBS_Kernan @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @mikepiazza31 @JLucroy20

@BeaneaterB @KFCBarstool ABS is a two dimensional zone in the middle of the plate while the rule book says the strike zone is a three dimensional prism that covers the plate So ABS can be wrong, and will be wrong at some point in a big spot… and we’ll see how that goes over

Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog·
Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

@MattWalshBlog They, Israel, thought Iran would have caved by now. It hasn't, at least not to the degree they needed, to create instability they hoped for

I in fact do not “trust the plan,” especially when the exact plan is never coherently articulated. The idea that we should reserve criticism of our elected leaders on the vague assumption that there must be some sort of “plan” that we mere mortals don’t understand is just embarrassing. How did “trusting the plan” work during COVID? How has it ever worked?

@MattWalshBlog Trump had 8 major foreign policy successes in his first year and many more in his first term. There isn't a way this gets to be a long war because it's a question of math & logistics. How is Iran going to continue a war without access to munitions? Which are nearly depleted?

@BaseballQuotes1 Yeah, but interleague play has to go. These matchups are just not nearly as interesting. The number of interdivisional matchups in a season is awful

If you're in North Carolina- -Lowered personal income tax from 7.75% to current 3.99% -School Choice -Elimination of military pension tax -Medicaid Expansion (I'm not for this) -Corporate tax cuts which caused NC to jump from 44th to top 4 in business c rankings after reforms -Balanced the budget and has saving reserve/rainy day fund of approximately 3.7 Billion

@MargoinWNC I’m just curious as to what the Republican Party has done to help NC residents, over the last decade in power?!

@joeroganhq Turnout for midterms are usually, very low, in comparison to presidential cycles. Elections almost always come down to the unaffiliated voters, who voted for Trump in 2024. Probably won't show up this year. I won't ever vote Dem, but that doesn't mean a Republican gets it

Jimmy Kimmel tried to clean up his comments about Markwayne Mullin being a former plumber, but he tried to have it both ways. First he doubled down ignoring Mullin's management experience with his plumbing company "[Trump's] apple polishers are all in a tizzy because I made light of the fact that his new head of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, before he was a senator, was a plumber. And now he's the head of Homeland Security. Which is not necessarily the kind of resume you might hope for, for the person in charge of protecting us from terrorism" Later, he insists it has nothing to do with plumbers and is just about his ideas, "Let me make this very clear. I'm not upset that the head of Homeland Security used to be a plumber. I'm upset that he isn't still a plumber, okay?" Then why even mention the plumber aspect?
