Generally trying to stay off twitter nowadays, but in some cases there is still no better location to receive breaking news and discussion. That being said, it's so absolutely clear how this website has become not a site for discussion and spreading of ideas, but instead a..

Insane to suggest a driver’s license itself is not sufficient to register to vote. There is no good faith reason to insinuate otherwise

Mark Derosa is catching a LOT of heat right now. Lots of people saying he shouldn’t manage the USA team. Lots of people saying you need a big league manager running the show. As a member of the 2023 WBC team that won a silver medal, and went 2-0 (sniff) for DeRo, let me weigh in on this matter. I saw the interview where he said “tickets were punched”…. I saw it. Is it possible that he didn’t know the exact situation? Maybe. But let’s think clearly on all things people are concerned about really quick: 1. Does he need to have big league experience as a manager to manage the team? The short answer to this is NO. He managed in 23 and knew the format. He knew how the roster needed to be constructed. He knew how teams would be calling and basically telling him how he could use their guys. All teams do it. All teams have parameters on their players. I’d argue he knew this particular system better than the normal manager. Side note…he’s surrounded by big league managers in Freddi Gonzalez and David Ross. Also, Dino Ebel is widely respected as one of the best baseball men and coaches on the planet. Side note 2…. As a teammate of his and player of his, I can honestly say he is one of the best ever at bringing people together and in this format the team has to become a team quickly. Nobody better for that. 2. Did he really not know the exact situation? As stated before, he’s surrounded by staff and USA people. Surrounded by media asking questions all day long. Are we really to think that nobody had given him the tea? Please. I believe he misspoke. He would have known the night before that interview all the scenarios. 3. How could he sit Bregs, Bux, Turang, and Harp? Replaced by PCA (2 home runs and top 10 MVP), Gunnar Henderson (homerun and top 2 MVP in 2024), Ernie Clement (single and just set records in the postseason), Paul Goldschmidt (single and 2022 MVP). They hit. The fact is they gave up 8 runs. The team they gave up 8 runs to is hotter than fire and scored another 9 last night. I wanted them to win that game as much as you did, but sometimes you lose. Let’s just for a second say that DeRo didn’t know the situation. Then the entire staff, hoard of reporters, all the roster… they didn’t know either? It’s hard to get behind that theory. Whoever is still locked in on him being incompetent though, you keeping that same energy if the USA wins and then all the sudden he’s a silver and gold medal winning manager?

Here's a #WorldBaseballClassic tiebreaker grid for Pool B, ahead of the final game.

PCA!!!! He was already a superstar in the making, but doing this on the WBC stage adds fuel to the fire.

PCA has hit three balls a mile. One was foul.

How's this for a screengrab? Very proud of PCA, repping the Cubs and 'Murica. What a homer. bleachernation.com/cubs/2026/03/1…

PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG, AMERICA.

SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU CAN DO, PETE. 😌

The Bears were loud in the right places (public media settings with maximum visibility at the combine) regarding how they felt wronged by the NFL’s decision to not award comp picks for Ian Cunningham’s departure. It goes against the spirit of what the Rooney Rule is supposed to be about (promoting minority advancement in coaching and front office positions). The NFL was adamant in January that it wasn’t something that could be appealed but the Bears tried anyways. Can’t fault them for their attempt, but fall out from this should lead to a real conversation about the rule in the first place and how poorly this reflects back on the league.

Compensation agreed upon: 🏈Buffalo gets: DJ Moore and 2026 5th-round pick. 🏈Chicago gets: 2026 2nd-round pick.

Doing this in a 3 week period should be warranted a statue in itself

Have you ever seen a bizarre news story about Harris County Judge Lina HIdalgo and wondered: WTF? Well, I spent spent the last six months trying to answer that question for @TexasMonthly. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Flagrant: The Kash Patel thing is so annoying because, can you just let them have a victory?  It's so selfish. He wants too much attention. Just be behind the scenes and lock up criminals

Best we can do is lifetime contract, 10 million shirts.

US liberals and conservatives celebrated both the Alysa Liu and men's hockey wins. But this web site does not want you to see that, because the algorithm wants novelty and conflict which drives engagement. So it feeds us inflammatory outliers to make us angry. Don't fall for it.

He said what he said. 👀
