For Roku's $10M a year MLB Sunday morning deal, you could get Joe Buck for nearly a whole MNF schedule. Buck makes $15M per year.

I’m at a bar with a mechanical bull. Mike Lindell just walked in. If there is a god, the funniest the possible will happen soon.

BREAKING Judge Daniel Ho has declined to dismiss the federal criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He has, however, postponed his trial indefinitely and appointed Paul Clement of Clement & Murphy PLLC to argue against the government’s case for dismissal.

It appears irony is not dead after all.

ESPN informed MLB this morning it was opting out of its MLB deal. Here is @EvanDrellich with out initial story www.nytimes.com/athletic/614... MLB, ESPN opt out of TV deal for 2026-28; MLB cites ‘minimal coverage’

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?
