NEW: Willow Nightingale confirms to me she has signed a new deal with #AEW. She explained why in our one-on-one, part of which is available now ⬇️ @seanrosssapp.bsky.social first reported she re-signed. #wrestlesky www.si.com/fannation/wr...

AI slop is the worst, man. This post has thousands of likes and comments. No one realizes it's AI. We're so toast.

Absolutely essential reading. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-...

Let out a huge sigh of relief this morning now that UNTOLD: Fall of Favre has gone live on @netflix.com. Huge thanks to @frontofficesports.bsky.social and EverWonder studios for last night’s premiere in NYC.

I, for some reason, decided to volunteer to play in the SNY softball tournament next month, and am now going to be hitting the batting cages to try and get myself back into competent playing shape. The things we do for community.

Just remember folks, as we head into the summer, if you're using a gas grill, you may as well use the stove.

Prostate cancer, especially aggressive prostate cancer, is absolutely brutal. Several members of my family have fought tit. My thoughts are with the former president.

The last verse of Long Walk Home best encompasses why Springsteen is so directly calling out Trump. The America he has written about for half a century isn’t just reflective of what it is willing to do, but just as importantly, what it won’t do. Now, that line is being crossed.

That would spoil the fun

Raimondi’s new nWo book!

I’m nostalgic for Brosnan but I think Craig was the best. Casino Royale is my favorite.

Cagematch is a lifesaver for real-time stuff. For the first year, I did extensive notes until Matt and I got our chemistry down. That made it a lot easier when it came to facts and research. For every topic, I scout the internet extensively, or previous episodes, to find the extent discussed.

I’ve got an hour for an #AskAlba, been a while. Ask anything about anything. Must use the hashtag. Go.

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

NEW: I spoke with #TNA President Carlos Silva, who told me intentional bleeding has *not* been banned from matches, but did confirm a change in approach to violent bouts. Get the exclusive here ⬇️ #wrestlesky www.si.com/fannation/wr...

Oops.

Brett Baty is coming into his own entirely because of the change in his approach at the plate. I’ve been paying close attention to his at-bats the last few games. Here’s why he’s succeeding for the #Mets:

It is so refreshing seeing a politician fully aware of the actual realities of what we're going through and trying to be vocal about it.

New from me: TNA is sending Joe Hendry, Moose, and The Nemeths to AAA Triplemania Regia, four of its major champions. It is Nic Nemeth's first match under the #WWE banner in two years, and WWE is open to #TNA working with #AAA moving forward. #wrestlesky www.si.com/fannation/wr...

There is now a very legitimate path to the NBA Finals for the Knicks. Nothing is guaranteed in the NBA Playoffs, but when they play with heart, it's extremely hard to beat them. Right now, they're full of it.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

I thought Backlash was generally a fun show, but the lack of clean finishes in WWE right now is causing some major fatigue for me when watching. Four of the five matches tonight had outside interference/ref bumps.

Go to concerts with me

Power Up. At church. Do not disturb. #ACDC

Very in touch!

New England folks, need your help. Where can I park near/away from Gillette Stadium that will allow me to avoid sitting in two hours of traffic trying to leave? Every time I've been there it's been to cover something and I've left long after the traffic cleared.

Record gates. Gotta love capitalism. If you don’t want to renew talent as their contracts expire, that’s fair game. But if any of these are releases that weren’t requested, man, that’s tough to justify. #wrestlesky

You know Bird means it when the MAN'S JAM comes out!

Alba At The Movies: Thunderbolts* is very fun! Doesn't always carry the highest stakes, but refreshing to see Marvel actually dive into personal trauma/growth. Quippy, solid action, and decently consequential to the narrative going forward. 4 stars out of 5 🍿 #Thunderbolts

UK Season 2 has some issues, but it's the strongest overall and features great gameplay from a traitor and some of the faithful. UK Season 1 has a few great traitors too, though I found the faithful to be largely all over the place.

Having finished all the seasons of the U.S. and UK Traitors, my rankings best to worst: UK 2 (best gameplay) U.S. 2 UK 1 U.S. 1 (best traitor) U.S. 3 (best trash reality drama) UK 3 #TheTraitors

We are in the absolute dumbest timeline.

If you're an indie wrestler, or even if you're signed, establishing good and healthy relationships with quality media is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your career. Treating someone who covers the industry fairly as an enemy has little upside.

Mid-terms don't matter when the federal branch just ignores the fact that Congress even exists.

Absolutely wild to me people insist there will be a free and fair election in 2028.

Matt Hardy Says Finish To WrestleMania 41 Match Made Cody Rhodes Look Weak, 'You Can’t Put Him In That Position'

Colorado retiring Shedeur's number becomes crazier by the minute.

Holy moly

For those unaware, I also have a Substack where I write about mental health, relationships, healing, and other deep subjects. Dropped a new piece this morning, I encourage you to check it out and subscribe for free if that's your thing! jonalba.substack.com/p/quiet-plea...

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Survival is embedded in #TNA star Mike Santana's soul. I had a chance to peel back the layers on a man overcome with grief, addiction and a desire to be the best version of himself in this exclusive feature. #wrestlesky #AEW www.si.com/fannation/wr...

The Rock tried to distance himself from the WrestleMania 41 main event creative at least twice, by my count, in the Pat McAfee interview. #WWE
