Taking my reporter hat off for a second, I'm baffled that Mallard Creek's Nyan Brown was called for a DQ for basically showing the back of his hand while crossing the finish line.
I don't know the letter of the law rules here, but he was fully aware that he was about to win his school a third straight championship. Kids, adults, all of us, would get excited in a moment like this.
I didn't see any effort to taunt or show anyone up.
Sometimes we need to huddle up and review the tape and come up with the right call.
Seems like we missed this one.

A DQ on the final event of the day cost Mallard Creek's boys' track team a state title. A Mavericks runner raised his hand as he crossed the finish line. Story, full results charlotteobserver.com/sports/high-sc…

@HighSchoolOT There is so much ghetto culture in track. The amount of people openly smoking weed and listening to rap music on large speakers in the crowd is incredible. Interesting this ended happens at lacrosse games….

Mallard Creek boys track and field was disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct after winning the 4x400 relay in the final event of the day. Had the result stayed, the Mavericks would have won the team state championship. Instead, they remained in second place.

@LAtahncritic Like nobody in SD is thinking anything about the city or team of Seattle. Same energy as SD vs Mets or Braves. This shit is fabricated by MLB
English

The San Diego Padres have never won a World Series, so they had to make up a championship for their fanbase to get excited over.
I’m SICK.

After tonight's win and their sweep of Seattle in April, the @Padres are the winners of this year's Vedder Cup!

@LAtahncritic SD does not care about Seattle any more or less than any other non-Dodgers team. This is 100% made up by MLB
English

@iJordanMoore SD doesn’t care about Seattle and the feeling is reciprocated. Completely made up by mlb

MLB “rivalry weekend” cracks me up.
Makes total sense:
Yankees-Mets: Subway series
Cubs-Sox: Crosstown classic
O’s-Nats: Battle of the Beltway
Rangers-Astros: Lone Star series
Marlins-Rays: Citrus series
Dodgers-Angels: Freeway series
Pirates-Phillies: Battle of PA
Tigers-Blue Jays: 401 Derby
Reds-Guards: Ohio Cup
Cards-Royals: Battle of I-70
Padres-M’s: Vedder cup
Giants-A’s: Battle of the Bay (rip)
Brewers-Twins: Border battle
wtf… this is a rivalry?
Red Sox-Braves…
Rockies-DBacks…

@BrianAtlas Almost touching someone is now assault?
You make yourself look like a leftist when you post dumb shit like that.

@GigglingGanon “Traumas and triggers” in real life. I thought that was only a reddit loser thing
English

Administrative assistant for the city believe her feelings trump the rights of the citizens.
In this tense encounter, an independent journalist enters city offices to exercise a basic legal right: inspecting the public records index. Under Washington state law (RCW 42.56.070), this document is required to be available for public inspection. It’s not a favor; it’s the law.
Enter Sabrina Costik, an administrative assistant who claims to be "brand new" but is already attempting to rewrite the Constitution based on her personal feelings.
The exchange highlights a growing and dangerous trend in public service—the idea that personal "traumas and triggers" override the civil rights of the public. Throughout the video, Sabrina argues that:
Her "comfort level" should dictate where a citizen stands.
Her "liberties" are being violated by a camera in a government building.
Recording her is "incredibly rude," effectively prioritizing social etiquette over the First Amendment.
The situation required the intervention of Deputy Chief Matt McKnight of the Chehalis Police Department. In a masterclass of de-escalation and legal clarity, McKnight had to explain the hard truth to his own staff: when you are a public servant in a public building, you do not have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" while performing your duties.
McKnight—who is currently campaigning for Lewis County Sheriff—remained professional, but the core issue remains: Why are public employees being put behind counters without a fundamental understanding of the Bill of Rights?
As far as McKnight, he is running for sheriff in 2026 and his understanding and respect for the rights of the citizens is everything you would want in county sheriff.
That said, as far as Sabrina, when "I’m uncomfortable" becomes a tool to suppress transparency, the public loses.

did you guys know people are removing their organ donor status because they genuinely truly believe doctors are, like, maliciously harvesting organs from people who would otherwise pull through and putting them on the black market?

The day I learned you can’t harvest organs from a dead person is the day I changed my license from organ donor

@StumpGuyTy Wait till you see how out of square the ceilings/walls are when you go to install crown molding
English

Poke holes in this business idea for me:
Friend of mine bought a new build a couple years back.
Everything inside was very builder grade.
He slowly added wall moldings, beadboard, wallpaper and the house is now completely transformed.
Why is there no company that ONLY does this for builder grade homes?
I’m talking:
- Crown moulding
- Box Mouldings
- Beadboards/wallpaper
If your answer is “just hire a carpenter” that carpenter is doing 6 other types of jobs that probably pay better.
Genuinely curious, what am I missing?

@EllSimonds Why is the 4 just hovering over 160 in the first term denominator?
English

@KylePorterNS Seems fair. I’ve had a couple of completely imbedded balls where the ground was soft from a drainage leak or burrowing animals. Freak ground softness was not intended by the course designer.
English

I realize golf people who know a lot more about the game than I do will disagree with this (and I'm sure there are 100 reasons I'm wrong about it), but it remains *insane* to me that a ball hit into deep rough off the tee can then be hit from a clean lie in the fairway.
