Ohtani used to play for the Angels.
Betts used to play for the Red Sox.
Fans of both of those franchises must be shaking their heads in total disgust.

The same pomos after each half inning for SCAM BUSTERS and for FEAR FACTOR and for WAKE UP BARSTOOL have convinced me all three programs sound like terrible television.

Compelling action.
Very entertaining.
Sensational playoff baseball.
It's just a shame that it's happening very late on a Monday night when much of America is already in bed.

I remain stunned that Dave Roberts continues to have faith in a relief pitched who is no longer effective.

"Toronto Rangers" !!!
That being said, this is NOT the type of content @nba.com officials and their broadcast partners want to be discussing during the opening week of the regular season.

Oh, I hear you on that.
You can say the same about the concept of two players fighting during an NHL game.
That happens very rarely in NFL and NBA and MLB games.
Reminds me of Mario Lemieux's infamous quote from the early 1990s calling the National Hockey League a "garage league."

This represents the embodiment of a journalist.
@jeffpearlman.bsky.social describes what he believes is his greatest reporting accomplishment.
Before that he shares some hate mail he recently received.
