Cholowsky, a shortstop out of UCLA, signed for $10.35 million, well above the slot value of $11,350,600, Callis reported. That breaks the bonus record of $9.3 million set in 2024. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2026…

@RossBrian30643 @RedRaiderGator Would never happen. Offseason is too short as is.
English
@RedRaiderGator 64 teams actually makes the most sense in this tournament moving forward. The only other suggestion I would make is to have both semifinal games on a Sunday and the final the following Saturday.
English
Double group stage World cup would be sick.
64 teams. Top tao teams from each group go to 32 team group stage.
Top two teams from each group go to round of 16 knockouts

@pierre_bida @yinzburghsports ESPN on its own is $30/month and has almost nothing worth paying for this of year. If you're smart you're canceling until football season.
English
@yinzburghsports I don’t necessarily have a problem with it being on Netflix, moreso that it’s behind a paywall. I don’t like the HRD becoming a PPV event.
English
I don’t get why people cry about this so much when more people have Netflix than cable

The Home Run Derby not being broadcasted on National Television is terrible. MLB is so dumb
English
@sportsrapport The "stadium" IS going to be built without tax payer funding. The TIF was always going to be used for infrastructure. They're building a stadium in a pit with no power or running water.
Also, get better friends 🤷♂️
English
I’m old enough to remember when this stadium was going to be constructed with no taxpayer funding
Sidenote I have lived in Chicago since 2009. Not one time has a friend ever said let’s go to a Fire game, not even to see Messi

I saw this Chicago Sun-Times article on the Chicago Sun-Times app and thought you’d be interested. From Chicago Sun-Times - Finance Committee approves $425M subsidy for site that includes Fire stadium chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2026…

@dexsoul85 @ArranPascoe @billycarpy This AI summary does not match what's in the IFAB Laws, it is an interpretation.
The word 'dive' is nowhere in the rulebook.

@Snak_Attack18 @edr13332146 @ArranPascoe @billycarpy It's a not a loophole. The rule is to correct the mistake of rewarding twice someone for a deception.
The semantics of the title used are broad because otherwise you would need to have a specific title for each case since cases could be varied.
English
This is correct, right:
If the referee had mistakenly called a foul on Paredes, but not a yellow card, Embolo couldn't have been sent off for mistaken identity?
English
@sportstalkmatt @GUnit_81 Most years, Wednesday is the worst, but not with that game on the schedule.
Christmas Eve is also always terrible.
English
@GUnit_81 Wednesday is England vs Argentina … massive gm
English
Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Iowa got so screwed in realignment. Getting pushed from the 4th-6th ish best program in the conference to 8th-10th is a huge difference.
Probably already seen more MSU B1G titles than I will see in the future, a sad realization to make in my 20s

Big 10 championship games in the 2010s was truly the peak of football, go back and watch any of these games aside from 2014 and it’s a classic.

@SoxScoreboard Still pissed they don't wear black at home anymore.

A reminder of how bad it got

@afcpranxv @CamiloE14 @AFCAMDEN No, we're talking decades of systematic racism. "Whittening" policies.
English
@CamiloE14 @AFCAMDEN Genuinely want to know, is it a cultural thing or a bunch of bad apples (like Reform UK)? I've seen contrasting things and from someone who lives a thousand miles away I have no clue.

@Vintagewinnings @barstoolWSD Somebody is obsessed, based on your post history 😂
English
@barstoolWSD Part of what thing? You act like they are a powerhouse. They have had the easiest schedule in baseball. Also the clubhouse. You act like it is something special. Its a bad stadium where nobody shows up to the games. Bottom 7 in baseball. Awful fanbase. Stop selling bs
English
Gotta say. Props to Getz & his staff for keeping Roch under wraps as long as they did. Didn’t hear a peep of a leak that he was even in town a while back. And good on the fellas for selling the clubhouse while he was in town too. Sounds like he’s pumped to be a part of this thing
English
@MarkOConnell1 @swearimnotpaul Then why did they gouge this whole tournament? You're saying things that don't align to reality.
English
@Snak_Attack18 @swearimnotpaul Dude, gate receipts is about 9% of FIFA revenue. It's peanuts.
The goal is that fans from the countries,who have attended qualifying,can get access to tickets.
FIFA aren't a NFL franchise so gouging their customers isn't the goal.
English
England is arguably the best-suited country to host the men's World Cup, and they haven't held it since 1966.
David Furones@DavidFurones_
FIFA should just have America host every World Cup. Where else in the world do you have this many elite stadiums in cities capable of handling such an influx of foreign visitors? And it lines up with the American football offseason for easy conversion to soccer for the venues.
English
@MarkOConnell1 @swearimnotpaul It's not about what's "necessary", it's about what makes the most money. 68,371 attended that game.
English
@Snak_Attack18 @swearimnotpaul Only 16 were used for this world cup. Was a 60 seater necessary for Algeria v Jordan?
English
@BluenosedCOOP @swearimnotpaul I'm not talking about requirements. The OP said England is arguably the best host. I disagree, because of the volume of large stadiums. The point, in FIFA's mind, is to maximize revenue. You can't do that with a tournament that has tons of games in 40k seaters.
English
@Snak_Attack18 @swearimnotpaul 60k+ is only a FIFA requirement for semi-finals onwards. and Scotland has 3 that are 50k+ and Wales has 75k.
English
@ArranPascoe @billycarpy US/Paraguay, same situation happened but it was a 1st yellow. So the precedent is there.
English
@billycarpy My other thought is.. If Embolo wasnt already on a yellow, would var have got involved? Or have they seen an opportunity to send someone off and used the vague wording and grey area of "mistaken identity" to do so
English
English
@ArranPascoe @billycarpy I thought exactly this. Is there a specific provision in the "mistaken identity" rule for this exact situation? Because if not, it really doesn't feel true to mistaken identity as a concept.
English
@SeanKel4069412 @martynziegler Every decision 🤣
Started watching last season, I guess.
English
@martynziegler Imagine the Emirates being involved in corruption, couldn't happen in England, where they sponsor a team that gets every decision going and played a rapist.
English
There are 18 members of FIFA's disciplinary committee but the unprecedented decision to lift Balogun's automatic ban was taken by just one person - the chairman Mohammad Al Kamali of UAE. No one else was consulted.
