Yankee fans crying and booing Soto for chasing money somewhere else is rich. It’s chutzpah. It’s the ultimate in hypocrisy. In other words, it’s everything we know to expect from Yankee fans. Now they understand why every fan of every other team despises the Yankees. Eat it, Bronx.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Shedeur’s slide was all about Deion. Nobody in the NFL wants that circus. Nobody appreciates the look at me, I’m the show BS that comes with Deion. And his kid took the fall for it.

Yep. The NFL is definitely sending a message: they don’t like Deion and want no part of his act. It’s sad that Shedeur has to pay the price for his dad’s arrogance.

As I watched Shedeur slide last night - a kid with a 3.9 GPA and a good track record on the field, I couldn’t help but think:The NFL knows that Shedeur comes with a side of Deion & all the self-aggrandizing look at me crap that comes with him. And maybe, just maybe, the NFL was saying no thank you.

I cannot wait for this. It was one of my favorite Stephen King novellas when I read it last year, and it looks like a wonderful film. I will be in line on opening day.

Today is Jackie Robinson day in MLB. Despite pathetic attempts by pathetic people to erase his contributions from history, today is a great day to consider all that Jackie had to overcome while still performing at an historic level - and all that people of color had to deal with then and now.

I cannot wait for this. Was a great @stephenking.bsky.social novella and will be a great movie!

My 12 year old daughter’s current favorite song is “Idiots Are Taking Over” by NOFX. I don’t know whether to be prouder that she recognizes what so-called adults are doing to her world… or that she has on her own discovered one of the bands her old man was into 25-30 years ago.

Never, EVER forget that Trump is only a symptom; the MAGAts are the disease that foisted this disaster on us. These weak, cowardly crybabies must be held accountable for what they unleashed. Do not EVER let a MAGAt off the hook.

If you’re more worried about what we call a body of water than whether all Americans can access affordable healthcare, you’re doing it wrong. Very wrong.

This would be a good day to remind folks that Ohio State fans were ready to fire Ryan Day a month ago because he can’t beat Michigan.

What a shock — NOT — that Sasaki is joining the moneybag Dodgers. If @mlb.com and the @mlbpa.bsky.social don’t see the problem they’ve created, where there are only four teams who ever have a shot at signing a good player, maybe the fans outside of LA, NY and Philly should stop going to games.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

The @detroitlions.bsky.social shouldn’t sleep on Washington; that’s a good football team. But it seems to me that wild card weekend worked out well for the Lions in that both of their NFC North rivals were eliminated and they won’t have to try and beat anyone for a third time in a year.

Things I prefer to talk about instead of politics: * World travel * Baseball (esp. Detroit Tigers) * The Twilight Zone (original) * Detroit Lions * History (esp. Cold War) * Disney * Mental health * Good BBQ joints * Pop music & its history * Parenting * Writing & fellow authors * GenX nostalgia

I quit Twitter roughly six weeks after Elon took it over. I was told I was making a mistake and that I should wait and see what happens first. I have never regretted that decision. I quit IG/Threads yesterday. Same reason. Pretty sure I won’t regret that decision either.

For my money, @coltonpouncy.bsky.social is the best NFL beat writer out there. Every piece he writes is informative, well-written, analytical. Great job, sir!

To my fellow Catholics: if you’re hot & bothered about “keeping the Christ in Christmas” but you support a man and policies that are unprecedented in their cruelty & disregard of fellow humans - spitting in the face of all that Christ taught - then your Catholicism is merely a front. You’re a CINO.

So often, PR gets pointed to when a company or industry is unpopular. “They have a PR or image problem.” More often it is business practices and attitudes that directly correlate to perceptions. Thy don’t have a PR problem, they have a behavior problem. Looking at you, health insurance industry.

Republicans are about to break our government so recklessly and thoroughly that even if they allow another meaningful presidential vote to occur in 4 years and a Democrat overcomes their new election infrastructure to win, that Democrat will have to spend their entire presidency rebuilding America.

My favorite part of Friday is anticipating the Lions facing off against the Jags and their second string QB. Fear is that it’s a trap game; hope is that it’s a game that cements the Lions as the biggest threat to KC.

I care about baseball, football, the Tigers, the Lions, writing, travel, science, space, mental health, pop music history, Cold War history, Disney & Disney World, and climate change. Whom do you recommend I follow. No politics please. I'm out here to learn, not to get pissed off!

Looking for conversations on writing, travel, space, mental health, pop music and its history, classic Twilight Zone, baseball (Det Tigers), football (Det Lions), history what ifs, Cold War history, parenting adventures, Disney, and anything else that makes me THINK instead of just making me angry.
