Just ordered the 2025 Baseball Prospectus annual. It's the thing I do every year that makes me feel most like the clown makeup meme

Just finished watching the 4K Lawrence of Arabia, and this is pretty much what the format is made for

Braves streaming is only $20/mo after all. That's more reasonable.

There is one defensible reason to not have voted Ichiro - with Suzuki's guaranteed election, if a voter used their finite number of votes to select 10 other players worthy of either election or extended time on the ballot 100% isn't that important in the long run.

There are some UGA post-mortems that are trying to make it about the state of college football and having to evolve in that context when it might not be much more complicated than the team going through a relatively disappointing roster cycle at the OL and WR groups

I'm seeing my fellow UGA fans blame bye weeks in american football, they think UGA having too much time to rest, heal, and prepare was a negative Might be time to step away from the keyboard just a bit

Wouldn't be a game in the Benz without a DB named Alford chasing a WR on a TD play, I guess

Does Raheem get to trade in unused timeouts for free appetizers or something

When teams get to the playoffs and lose by roughly the amount we would expect, why must there be some dumb discourse about whether their bid was deserved or whether the process needs to change? The point of this is to give chances to teams like Indiana, even if they usually lose

Greetings from the future. I have news! (it's Kyle Muller news, sorry)

I'm certainly glad my team wasn't the one giving him 8 years, but I hope Max Fried has a great second act of his career and I'm happy he got a huge paycheck. Happy to see a rare major FA sign somewhere other than with the Dodgers, Phils, or Mets

Tough draw for Ohio State, oh well Now for a live interview with the head of the committee, the AD for Michigan

I know Georgia beating Georgia Tech isn't an upset but you should rush the field after 8 overtimes just to avoid deep vein thrombosis

Good thing we have these rules I'd hate for games to last too long

Now that we've gotten to the "complete nonsense" section of OT, can we just flip a coin to decide it

Tech should've gone for 2 there

Maybe my doofus friends will stop trying to tell me Alabama is our biggest rival My formative years as a fan were the late 90s Nothing sucks worse than losing these bragging rights. Not the Cocktail Party, nothing. I hate Auburn more, but that's for ethical reasons. GT earned it, go wild, Bees

Playcalling isn't perfect but I think it's pretty consistently good... You can't drop this many passes without scheming them open. Beck hasn't been as bad as the INTs may make you think. But he's cast-dependent. Last year, outstanding. With this supporting cast, he's been... pretty good.

The biggest offensive issue for UGA this year has been run blocking, IMO. They're good at pass pro all down the line, but Wilson is the only one I trust in the run game. #2 iissue is WR separation and catching. When both rear their head in the same half, the offense just grinds to a halt

Who is the greatest baseball player born in the same year as you?

Just finished Isaac Asimov's Foundation (1951) I've never read much sci-fi (despite loving the genre on screen), but I really enjoyed this. Love the story structure and also how in general the chapters are filled with thoughtful debate and dialogue instead of overreliance on action.

The name of this app should be pronounced in the manner so it rhymes with brewski
