Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A. If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

FIFA have responded to this - and strongly. “We are quite surprised by the NJ Governor’s approach today on fan transportation. The original FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City Agreements signed in 2018 required free transportation for fans to all matches. Recognizing the financial strain this placed on the host cities, back in 2023 FIFA adjusted the Host Agreement requirements across all host cities as follows: All Match Ticket holders and accredited individuals shall be able to access transport (public or additionally planned transport) at cost to allow travel to Stadiums on match days.   “FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation.   “FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation.”

Goodbye, friends, from Augusta Georgia! As a farewell, we’re giving away one of the limited edition Peach Reserve TOUR-ISSUE Staff Bags. To win: Just REPOST!

I said it last year…. I’ll say it again…. Let’s have a day! 🌺🌸

Rory McIlroy said that in the weeks leading up to the Masters, there were days he would drop off Poppy at school, fly to Augusta, play a round, and make it back home in time for dinner. Perks of being the defending champ. 😂

Sorry I missed the first inning of the Yankees game I had to log into the Gotham Sports app for the 14th time

Hey @yankeestadium all we want is one game a year with no music pumped into the ballpark. No PA. Nothing but the sweet sounds of baseball. Pick a weekday game against the Rays or Rockies. See how many tickets sell.

It was a miracle nobody got out on this play.

My first day manning the home plate camera, any suggestions on what I should focus on? Don’t say the first career hit of the top prospect in baseball

Yes... In case anyone was wondering, Microsoft still sucks in space.

Since every Rocket League player's skill is regressing, I'm announcing my return to the #RLCS! I'm looking for a team that actually scrims at normal 9-5 hours and includes naps in between scrims. Orgs reach out if you have a great daycare program! 👷

Fuck it. Let’s pop this hashtag off. Let’s make our voices heard. Let’s stand together. I know if there’s one thing we can stand behind, it’s this statement. Rocket League, you got me? #RLNEEDCHANGES

Je pense qu’il est temps que les choses changent à propos de Rocket League et d’Epic Games. Je n’ai pas parlé depuis quelque temps, mais la situation du jeu est dramatique. Ce qui fait vivre Rocket League, c’est l’esport, de par son intensité, sa facilité de compréhension, mais avant tout le niveau individuel incroyable de tous les joueurs professionnels. Vous savez où je veux en venir : bots et DDoS. Nous avons dû créer des serveurs Discord pour essayer de jouer de manière compétitive, mais ce n’est pas la solution miracle. C’est compliqué à gérer, pas facile d’accès, puis évidemment nous ne pouvons pas rassembler tous les joueurs du monde entier. Le problème étant que le niveau global des joueurs régresse et que notre temps de jeu est divisé par deux ou par trois. Epic Games, faites quelque chose tout de suite. À tous mes amis créateurs de contenu : ce n’est pas normal pour vous non plus d’avoir à subir ça. Les gens ne regardent plus Rocket League, les streamers perdent potentiellement leur communauté et peuvent perdre leur métier. Il est temps de réaliser que nous ne pouvons plus attendre, sinon Rocket League finira comme Rocket Racing. Rassemblons la communauté et formons qu'un. #RLNEEDCHANGES

Pretty cool note I got from a tech CEO/founder who watched NCAAs about hiring wrestlers: “I'll say this: without question my favorite hiring profile is a D3 All-American wrestler. You competed in the darkness. No lights, no crowd, sometimes literally no one watching. You showed up anyway and you figured it out. Give me 10 of those guys and they're worth 50 fancy Ivy League degrees. Every time. The mat doesn't lie.” Thoughts?

Apology accepted but not forgotten. @mrfasttwitch @YongerBastida

And that is the plan. That’s the NCAA Finals Vest 🤠

Nick Goldstein shoutout...pretty sure our guy can only wear that sweater vest in finals matches until the end of time.
