podium place up for grabs in a race with multiple retirements?

Hamilton skewering the Ferrari strategists has been the best part of this F1 season

big day for my only Spotify playlist

love the Kyle Kennard pick for the Chargers. adds some burst off the line to the edge room and gives them a great DPR to put in on third downs when they kick Mack and Tuli inside. only ? for me is ST experience - only 127 career snaps and 0 last season

my seven rounder over on Chargers Wire kinda got blown up. so, in the interest of giving you some realistic names to watch today, I did a day 3 mock to run through their last 7 picks:

Joe Hortiz reads the tweets

hi for the last 3 yrs I've made a call sheet for @brettkollmann.bsky.social and @footballej.bsky.social's livestream. best available board based on @arif.bsky.social's consensus board and the Beast, team-by-team hauls, and a pronunciation guide for every player I can find. this year it is public.

only rewrote this mock six times, which I think is a new personal best. this draft is gonna be weird as hell, but here's my best crack at it based on what I've heard/read/can guess. my ONLY full first rounder of the cycle:

I did a pretty good job predicting who the Chargers would take last year, but it was over the course of a few different mocks. doing it all in one shot this year. all 10 picks plus a handful of UDFAs to keep on the radar before tomorrow's festivities:

DK's chase scene take and Craig's music take were both incredible bits. aspirational podcasting

there are real people who wanted Sam Howell to start over Geno last season

hang it in the Louvre

starting a gofundme to get pierre gasly a new pit crew

Lando Norris entering his James Harden era???

playing against Houston seems like such a horrible experience lmao

I can't think of a reason to do this that isn't just seal clapping at draft priors. up to $6 million means it's really $2-4 million but that's still a lot for a QB3 who's never shown NFL caliber ability

This is a story about finding your path even when it feels impossible. It’s also about what it is to be brothers. And why they’ll walk through anything for each other. Meet Esa Pole: The NFL Draft hopeful who never played HS ball. New on @theathletic.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/622...

on this topic: was happy to see @katson.bsky.social and @arif.bsky.social shed some light on the mess of a process that are Pro Days if I had a dime for every time I've told the ppl running these "you know no one believes you right?" ... I'd have many dimes www.wideleft.football/p/whats-wron...

Tetairoa McMillan has been reported to run times between 4.46 and 4.57. What's up with that? Katson dug into how that can happen -- and the answer isn't that scout hand-timing is unreliable

the NFL does, in fact, have OFFICIAL pro day times. they're just reported on a document so secretive that those not in the league don't know what the acronyms stand for or how often it's distributed. that and more on why pro day reporting sucks, from me:

We talked about the Packers guy whose job was cheese

Meyer performed well at the local day and will have a Chargers scout in attendance specifically to watch him at UC Davis' pro day on March 31, per source

I asked my linguistics PhD student brother why Tyler Shough is pronounced "shuck": "gh was said the same way as the ch in Scottish words like loch at one point, so even though that's not exactly a ck sound it gets anglicized to it". Shough has said his name is Scottish before

2-3 with 2 RBIs and a go ahead RBI double to win 6-5 in the kickball season opener tonight. pulled my quad in the first at bat but gritted it out, that's a real athlete for ya folks

今日は私の人生で最高の日です

the unction is back let's goooooooooo

Derik Queen holy FUCK

HVL fucking crushed Louisville's trap defense in the first half. idk what you can really do to adjust - do you come off her a bit and hope she doesn't beat you? keep at it and hope that TCU's shooters go cold?

Tyler Booker's film backs up his poor athletic testing. he's a plodding, throwback guard who will thrive in gap-heavy schemes but probably won't even be on OZ/WZ teams' boards. that type of scheme-specific guy rarely goes in the first round. scouting report 🔽

god has forsaken me

yuki tsunoda heads we are in HELL

wrong side of every close men's game today, dropped 3 more women's games to drop me to 26-6 (two games back of @kevinfielder.bsky.social). only way this day can get worse is if Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda both finish outside the points at Shanghai later tonight

I don't care about Tetairoa McMillan's 40 time. you shouldn't, either. he is a weird athlete, though. insanely fluid for being so damn big but really not as physical as I expected. scouting report below 🔽

Chargers are pretty free to work the board in April now. Conklin/Dissly is a decent tandem, want to see them add a rookie but now they don't have to press if (when) Loveland is off the board at 22

went to the Asian grocery to celebrate getting the splints out of my nose and holy fuck are you guys telling me you've been able to breathe and smell like this the whole time
