Only good thing to come out of this awful Pirates-Phillies series. Paul Skenes showing his appreciation for WWII vet. Skenes gets it. He’s a class act.

🇯🇵 WATCH: Japanese university students successfully built a pedal powered aircraft and actually got it airborne. Human powered flight is real… but one question remains: What happens when the pilot’s legs give up mid air? 😂

The Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette was one of the most important American performance cars ever built. In 1988, it reached a verified top speed of 254.76 mph at the Transportation Research Center in Ohio, making it the fastest street legal car in the world at the time. Powered by a twin turbo 5.7L V8 producing nearly 900 hp, it beat the world speed record, then simply drove home under its own power instead of being loaded onto a trailer. Built from a C4 Corvette, it still kept air conditioning, power windows, a full interior, and even the factory Bose sound system. The car was capable of 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds and ran a 10 second quarter mile nearly 20 years before hypercars like the Bugatti Veyron entered the 250 mph conversation. The custom aerodynamic body was designed specifically for high speed stability, and the whole project proved just how far Callaway engineering was ahead of its time. RIP to Reeves Callaway, founder of Callaway Cars, who passed away in 2023.

Flyers goalie Dan Vladar was asked if he would like the organization to extend him a contract extension. “Yeah, and if you ask the same question to Danny Briere, I’m going to be watching. So, see what he says,” Vladar said with a smile. @SportsRadioWIP @KYWNewsradio

Ok here it is! Say hello to Devilfish and her tribute to America’s 250th birthday! This aircraft came out of preservation and will go to VMFA-323 in June. BUNO 165532 represents the Marines of MALS-11. The CO LtCol Alex “Python” Monte was totally on board when I presented this design to them. I was so excited!! I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time. This F-18D will fly with 323 until 2027 and then it will fly with VFMA-232 until 2028. This was a massive job and I couldn’t have done it without Dave Nenna. Our teamwork for the last 11 days was great. We also had the help of Marvin Collier a Marine who knew what he was doing and a key part of getting this done. We also put 13 stars on the backbone. Thanks so much for the hospitality of the Marines here and letting us tag this jet with pride and honor! We can’t wait to see it fly! Later I will do a video of the painting process. What a huge job! We did it!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Before Michael Jordan returned to the NBA with his famous “I’m back” announcement, he climbed out of this Ruby Red 1993 Corvette ZR-1. Now, that same Corvette is on display at the National Corvette Museum. Featured in ESPN’s The Last Dance, this 40th Anniversary ZR-1 represents peak Corvette performance from the early 1990s, packing 405 horsepower from its legendary LT5 engine. But beyond the specs, this car became part of one of the most recognizable moments in sports history. The Jordan ZR-1 is now part of our 'Pop Culture and Corvette: An American Love Affair' exhibition in the Skydome, alongside other Corvettes tied to music, movies, racing, and American culture. See it now through Spring 2027.

A standard Rolex has about 200 moving parts. The Patek Philippe on Jay-Z's wrist at the Met Gala has 1,580. Patek spent 8 years designing it. Then over 100,000 hours building the first one. About 11 straight years of someone working 24 hours a day, no breaks. It's called the Grandmaster Chime, the most complicated wristwatch Patek has ever made. The inner mechanism alone has 1,366 parts. It fits in a circle smaller than an Oreo cookie. The outer case adds another 214 parts, and the case alone took four years to design. In watchmaking, a "complication" is just any function beyond telling you the time. Most watches in the "grand complication" category have 5 to 7. This one has 20. When it launched, no wristwatch in history had combined that many. It tracks the phase of the moon, accurate to one day's drift over 122 years. It also has five different ways to chime: one that automatically rings the hours and quarters, one that rings only the quarters, one you press a button to hear the current time, one that rings whatever alarm time you set, and one that chimes today's date on demand. The last two had never existed in any watch before. Both were invented by Patek's own president, Thierry Stern, a trained watchmaker himself. The chiming makes this watch nearly impossible to copy. Inside each one are tiny coiled steel wires called gongs. A single watchmaker shapes and tunes each gong by hand, testing every note with their own ears. Just putting one chime mechanism together takes 200 to 300 hours. Then the watch goes into a soundproof chamber where the chime gets recorded and compared against decades of past Patek chimes. Only then is it brought to Thierry Stern. He listens. If he doesn't like the sound, the watch goes back. Sometimes more than once. A rejected watch can take 500 hours of rebuilding before he approves it. This watch holds four power springs in total. One is dedicated to the chimes alone, separate from the spring driving the time. Inside the mechanism is a ball bearing 7.2mm wide. It holds seven steel balls, each 0.3mm across, smaller than grains of fine sand. They handle 1,700 gram-millimetres of twisting force from the chime springs without slipping. The case has 11 holes drilled through it for buttons and pushers, and somehow none of them ruin the chamber that lets the chimes ring out clearly. The case itself flips around to show either of its two different dials. Fewer than five workshops on the planet can build something at this level. Patek Philippe is the one all the others measure themselves against. Jay-Z's version lists at $6.5 million. The unique steel version sold for $31 million at Christie's in 2019. It still holds the record for the most expensive watch ever sold at auction.

Source on why Aaron Rodgers chose this weekend to come to Pittsburgh: “It’s rookie camp. He wants to pour into the young guys. Allar, Bernard, and the 1st round tackle. Contrary to popular belief he’s a great teammate. He loves giving back to the game of football.” Buy it?
