@PittsburghPG How about ban all the fucking dumb masks. However masks are a clear indicator of who the weirdos are

Allegheny County Council proposes bill banning law enforcement — including ICE — from wearing masks post-gazette.com/news/politics-…

@MartySmithESPN That’s funny - he hated playing tour events and always just focused on majors when he came on tour - but now it’s a LIV PGA thing and the media has this LDS syndrome and it’s veiled shots at LIV - funny stuff

Brooks Koepka's move back to the PGA Tour helped him fall back in love with golf. I asked him today, after a 3-under 69, if that also means he has any newfound gratitude for The Masters. "I'm just enjoying the game a whole lot more. I think there's a huge difference if I'm excited to come out and play every week. It is just overall, if your happiness is through the roof off the golf course and on the golf course, it's really tough to beat it. You're to enjoy every day, everything you're doing." Does he have new balance? "I don't know if it's new balance. My son has given me new balance, that's for sure. Even on the way here this morning, he just kept saying, 'Crew golf today.' I have a funny feeling I'll be chasing golf balls at the house later today."

@BobSmizik @DanZangrilli If he was 22-23-24 it wouldn’t happen - now at 19 he can sign another monster contract and still be in his prime and not have to live through a 5 year garbage contract like Skenes did

@DanZangrilli Not sure how many #Pirates fans there are in the region and around the country, but I estimate several million. And I think I can say with absolute certainty you were the only person in that group who was not thoroughly astonished by the signing of Konnor Griffin for $140M.

Long post, but some thoughts and anecdotes on today, and the last 15 year track record of the Pirates. Most anytime the Pirates have a homegrown, impact talent that they feel (at the time) is investable, they do it. In fact, I'd say it's more of an outlier when they don't. Since the Pirates dug out of deep debt and bad notes around 2011, they've been fairly aggressive to pay for projected *future* performance. So, I'm not all that shocked by the Griffin deal. Obviously, some deals have worked, some haven't. 2011 - Tabata 6/15m with 3 options 2012 - McCutchen 6/51.5 2015 - JHay 4/27 +2 opt 2016 - Marte 6/31 + 2 opt 2016 - Polanco 5/35 + 2 opt 2022 - Hayes 8/70 2023 - Reynolds 8/107 2026 - Griffin 9/140 They fell short and couldn't get pen to paper with Walker, Cole and, most likely with Skenes. They also have, depending on competitive position and/or poor player performance, hit the eject button on the deals and traded them off (which is fine, I guess). However, the appetite for risk and playbook has always been there. While today is terrific, I'm also somewhat surprised by the surprise, because the track record is there. Thanks for reading.

@RedWavePress Totally agree - Trump can be downright exhausting to everyone - his actions aren’t the problem it’s the mechanism behind them

Megyn Kelly TORE into President Trump over his “completely irresponsible and disgusting” social media posts on Tuesday: “I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this sh*t! I’m just– I’m sick of it. Can’t he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president—‘3D chess’—just shut up! F*cking shut up about that sh*t! You don’t threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We’re talking about civilians, just casually in a social media post.” “I am the first to try to understand Trump and his strategy and not freak out over his weird social media posts and language that is loose and incendiary. Truly, I’ve lived with it for ten plus years. I learned it the hard way, when I was on the receiving end of it for nine months, and truly I think that was a gift to me in many ways because it helped me really come to understand what he does with his social media. But this is completely irresponsible and disgusting. This is wrong. It’s wrong. He should not be doing it.” “I don’t care that it’s a—his negotiation tactic is to kill an entire country full of civilians—men, women, and children— an American president, so that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened? It’s just wrong. It’s not hard to say it, it’s not hard to recognize it. I wish he would stop doing this. Like, he can’t negotiate without doing this? What does that say about him?” “What does that say about the position that our country is in right now in these negotiations? He’s got to say this? He can’t be a dignified, strong leader without threatening a bunch of war crimes? Like what is he, Genghis Khan? Like, what is he trying to do and why can’t he do it with strength – threats, sure, go for it – that don’t diminish and demean the United States of America in this way?”

@nytimes @TheAthletic I couldn’t throw 10 yard outs without skipping them in the dirt - yet play the victim and he paid millions / great businessmen

From @TheAthletic: Ten years after Colin Kaepernick first drew national attention for taking a knee in protest during the national anthem, he is set to tell his life story in a memoir titled “The Perilous Fight.” nyti.ms/4txq1b3

@nicksortor Lies

🚨 BREAKING: The Iranian regime has OFFICIALLY announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing MASSIVE Israeli attacks inside Lebanon, per AP Welp, that didn’t last long Some of the largest Israeli strikes in Lebanon in recent history have taken place in the last 24 hours, risking the end of the US-Iranian ceasefire.

@OliLondonTV Who?

Padma Lakshmi calls Trump a “sociopath” and “racist” over Iran ‘civilization’ comments. “He’s got 34 felony counts against him. He’s corrupt. He’s a racist.” Meanwhile, she has stayed silent on the regime massacring thousands of civilians.

@NUCLRGOLF TV isn’t the only indicator of success - PGA and LIV can coexist and will both make it - good for golf

🚨🏌️🏓 #NEW: Brandel Chamblee says the PGA Tour has won the war against LIV Golf & gives his opinion on league: "Even when they're broadcasted and finish in primetime on the east coast, they garner 35k-50k views, more people watch pickleball than that!" 💀

@Polymarket Lies

BREAKING: Iran claims it has closed the Strait of Hormuz.

@libsoftiktok He is one of the biggest “looks like a real journalist” guys you will ever see - he has old school instincts but can’t help himself into being a one sided shill

Fake news anchor Lawrence O'Donnell is actually complaining that Pete Hegseth said "No man left behind" because it doesn't include women. What an absolute joke.

@RonFilipkowski Hey it’s TDS Tuesday every day - actually it’s TDS for you every day ending in a Y

It’s TACO Tuesday!

@JoshYohe_PGH He is sub par

In his past 8 games, Arturs Silovs has allowed 31 goals and his save percentage is .842. This is a real problem.

@johnpavlovitz No he ceased to be a far left or far right idiot - he is common sense

He ceased to be a Democrat a long time ago. Good riddance...

@DTonPirates What did he say that was wrong?

These guys continually impress me with dumb takes. I’m shocked they can do it every single time. That is a special talent.

@pantherrants And don’t lose by 35 to WVU in year 6 at home

@kirkdom All he had to do was beat Cincinnati, and he couldn’t.

“SVPanther” has a had bone to pick with the University since they let his buddy Walt Harris leave. Hasn’t gotten over it 20 years later. No one cares about your continuous “Pitt is broke” posts. Shut up

@ThePoniExpress 100 percent

True story: I have a much better feeling about the futures of the Penguins AND Pirates than the Steelers right now. I don't know how anyone could argue that. The Steelers don't have a real plan at quarterback.

@OldTakesExposed This guy is about as right as the weatherman in Cape Cod

@gerrydulac She has a hand injury and is recovering and is in fear of contact the wrong way - she usually is fast

DO NOT let any young golfers watch this....

@billpeduto All these networks lie Bill - it’s all bullshit - it depends on who you like and which one you watch - credibility zero

Fox lies.
