@Giants@1NCRDB1 Casually handing Russell Wilson’s jersey number over to a second-year edge rusher the literal second he hits free agency is an unmatched level of disrespect. The Giants are operating with absolutely zero chill right now.
BREAKING: Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season
ABS CHALLENGE RULES:
- Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful
- Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch
- To signal a challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or batter will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know
- No help from the dugout or other players on the field is allowed
- In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning
The ABS Challenge System powered by T-Mobile 5G network uses cameras set up around the perimeter of the field to track the location of each pitch and a graphic on the scoreboard shows the result of the challenge
President Trump : "My father always used to tell me...'Son, when you walk into a restaurant & you see a dirty front door, don’t go in. Because if the front door is dirty, the kitchen is dirty also.'...If our capital is dirty, our whole country is dirty."
@Mikeoutdoors73@ABDanielleSmith@realDonaldTrump I take that as a no.. allow me to explain. When you cross the border into the US, it is the US Border Patrol that controls who and what goes in the US. If you’re entering Canada from the US, it is the Canadian border services. Think about it.. just for a minute.
(1/2) I am disappointed with U.S. President Donald Trump’s @realDonaldTrump decision to place tariffs on all Canadian goods. This decision will harm Canadians and Americans alike, and strain the important relationship and alliance between our two nations.
Alberta will do everything in its power to convince the U.S. President and Congress, as well as the American people, to reverse this mutually destructive policy.
We note the reduced 10% tariff for Canadian energy which is partially a recognition of the advocacy undertaken by our Government and industry to the U.S. Administration pointing out the substantial wealth created in the U.S. by American companies and tens of thousands of American workers that upgrade and refine approximately $100 billion of Canadian crude into $300 billion of product sold all over the world by those same U.S. companies.
It is also worth noting that if oil and gas exports are excluded, the United States actually sells more to Canada than Canada sells to the U.S.. As I’ve stated to every American policymaker I’ve met with these past months, Canada buys more from the U.S. than any country on earth - more than U.K., France, Germany, Italy and Vietnam combined. There is, therefore, no economic justification for tariffs imposed on any Canadian goods.
Alberta will continue our diplomatic efforts in the United States to persuade the U.S. President, lawmakers, Administration officials and the American people to lift all tariffs on Canadian goods as soon as possible and to repair our relationship with the United States. I encourage all Premiers and federal officials to do the same, especially as the effects of these tariffs begin to take their toll south of the border. Americans need to understand the detrimental consequences of this policy decision.
Alberta will also work collaboratively with our federal government and fellow provinces on a proportionate response to the imposed U.S. tariffs through the strategic use of Canadian import tariffs on U.S. goods that are more easily purchased from Canada and non-U.S. suppliers. This will minimize costs to Canadian consumers while creating maximum impact south of the border. All funds raised from such import tariffs should go directly to benefit the Canadians most harmed by the imposed U.S. tariffs.
Alberta will, however, continue to strenuously oppose any effort to ban exports to the U.S. or to tax our own people and businesses on goods leaving Canada for the United States. Such tactics would hurt Canadians far more than Americans.
We also continue Alberta’s call for the appointment of a border czar to coordinate the securing of our border against illegal migrants and drugs moving in both directions, and to achieve our nation’s 2% of GDP NATO commitment by 2027. These things should be done for the safety of all Canadians regardless of our trade dispute with the United States
Despite the disappointment of today’s decision there is also an incredible opportunity before us as a nation. Canada can and must now come together in an unprecedented effort to preserve the livelihoods and futures of our people and expand our political and trade relationships across the globe. We can no longer afford to be so heavily reliant on one primary customer. We must stop limiting our prosperity and inflicting economic wounds on ourselves.
Rather, we must unleash the true economic potential of our country, which possesses more wealth and natural resources than any other nation on earth.
The NFL is not rigged and the refs aren’t cheating for the Kansas City Chiefs.
STOP COMPLAINING AND WHINING ABOUT IT. Your favorite team just isn’t good enough to beat the Chiefs in the championship rounds of the game.
Here Are the Chiefs Stats:
-17th in % of scoring drives aided by penalties for a first down in 2024
-8th in roughing the passer penalties called on defenders hitting Mahomes since 2018
-Tied for 1st in offensive holding penalties called against them with 31 in 2024
-Tied for 2nd fewest unnecessary roughness calls in their favor in 2024 with 2
-32 of 61 penalties called against the Chiefs in their last 9 playoff games have been when Patrick Mahomes was not on the field. So it’s not a Mahomes bias.
I have seen some in the playoffs based stats that truly amount to the Chiefs being a more disciplined and fundamentally sound team than their more aggressive counterparts trying to knock them off.
At the end of the day if you want to beat the Chiefs, you have to stop beating yourself and committing league backed and reviewed penalties in the championship moments of the game.

@scottbraun@JeffPassan I see your point, but be honest, do you think this is good for baseball as a whole? No bias, just a look at the entire MLB and this path they are on.
@JeffPassan Invest in your product. Win. Make more money. It's not that complicated. It's not like the Dodgers were always like this. Anyone remember Frank McCourt??
When Tanner Scott’s deal is made official, the Dodgers’ luxury-tax payroll for 2025 will exceed $375 million. That is about $70 million more than the next-highest team, Philadelphia. The Yankees are the only other team with a CBT payroll projected to be over $300 million.
3 certainties we face: Life, Death, and tonight two more #NFL fanbases will be crying about how the officiating alone cost their teams the win. #NFLPlayoffs
How good of a salesman am I? Well, all day I knew how the Tyson/Paul fight would turn out and yet still I talked myself not only into watching it but into believing that Mike Tyson had a Time Machine.
