Look what came in just in time for the premiere!

Check out my latest for @batterypower.bsky.social www.batterypower.com/2025/2/13/24...

This may be the most boomer thing I’ve ever said, but I love the American theme of the halftime show.

I’ve seen an uptick in people saying something like “statistics are useless”. My response is this. Statistics are a tool in your toolbox. Think of a knife. If used properly, this tool is extremely helpful. If used improperly, it can be detrimental. It’s the same with stats.

It’s been a few days, I thought I would not like a Profar signing by the Braves due to his up and down career. However, the more I dig into it, I continue to like the move more and more.

I am currently rewatching all the survivor seasons, and ranking them as I watch them. It’s been a ton of fun. Taking notes, and trying to do the best I can to justify my rankings. If any of you care, I’ll be posting the list in the next few months.

If I ever get lucky enough to play #Survivor my biggest fear would be saying a phrase incorrectly to be permanently on streaming services forever.

I figured out where Jelinsky got 7 means several. In #Survivor game changers when Sierra is voted out, Jeff says: “With eight players left, and several seats left on the jury…”

I’ve given it some time, and I’m still ticked at how Squid Game 2 ended.

I think one of my favorite subtle things about Survivor is how players will use sayings incorrectly and the editing team leaves them in. For example, Jason saying “that’s one of the best things about this game. It can change on a drop of a dime”. Ha.

This may make me seem like a homer, but idc. I do not like the OT format in NCAAF.

Happy paper cut and “can’t find the right tool” day, for those who celebrate.

Here’s a hot take apparently about Survivor. I trust the producers. They have kept the show on air for 47 seasons. They have done what they felt keeps the show relevant enough to stay going. If what they do keeps the show on air, I am all for it.

My new era rankings of Survivor 45 47 46 44 42 43 41

Excellent season of Survivor. This may be a hot take, but this may the best 4 season streak since before All-Stars

Dude, @samphalen.bsky.social saying “I don’t love, but I’ll eat it” about watermelon. That’s my people! I grew up picking melons out of the field every summer and I have never really liked them.

This #Survivot finale is predictable, and I am not even mad

I am currently rewatching Survivor Worlds Apart. I would like to nominate Tyler as one of the most underrated players in the s30-s39 era.

Tonight is the big night. Signs point to Rachel winning, but I see a path for Sam as well. What do you all think? #Survivor

I know he didn’t win, but the type of game Andy ended up playing is probably the most aligned to how I would play if I ever got so lucky. #Survivor #Survivor47

I’m trying to come up with a top 5 list of the most puzzling FA signings in the past 20 years for MLB. I can already tell you that the A’s signing Sevvy is definitely on that list.

Every week when I watch Survivor Jeff: “you think you have what it takes? Apply to be on Survivor”. Me: “I already did Jeff, give me a call”.

I still think Soto will be with the Red Sox. I’m sure the Red Sox regret getting rid of their elite OFer in Betts years ago. I’m sure that’s not the driving factor, but it may put them over the edge.

Breakdown on Boyd, per the AP (apnews.com/article/cubs...)

I still think it’s a huge mistake that the tribe took out Gabe and not Caroline. I am also with Andy on his math for waiting on Kyle. #Survivor

This is even worse than the ghost runner

If your team is in the SEC, who are you rooting for today between Texas and A&M?

It seems increasingly likely that Max Fried is going to go to the Red Sox

My wife just sent me this on her first day ever playing. Did I marry a prodigy?
