How much do NASCAR drivers love Bubba Wallace? It has been a long time since I have seen this many cars give the winner a tire mark, love tap, or thumbs up. #Brickyard400

Oh man, even the #Cubs announcers are making Coldplay/CEO jokes.

Wild stat. #IndyCar

Huge advertising fail by Arbys & NASCAR. I'll explain ...

Putting this on the entry to the turn of the Chicago race, it looks like the cars are turning away from Arby's.

If they had put it on the turn exit, it would look like all the cars were heading to Arby's. Details matter

An NFL game will be played this month.

Too soon.

Daughter’s Taylor Swift standup died.

Dare I say, it’s the end of an era.

This is the most soccer foul ever.

Player gets clobbered everywhere except his head, immediately grabs his head.

Defender argues he didn't do anything wrong. #GoldCup2025

Small world. I'll be in Minny tomorrow for work and was just thinking I wish I had come a day earlier so I could go to this game.

Here is the freeze-frame. He has barely started his downswing and apparently the ball is already in the air. Impressive, if true.

Cork Gaines @corkgaines.bsky.social · Jun 28

This is odd. How does the Liv Golf Trackman Tracer start tracking the ball before it is even hit? 🧐 Dont let the golf bettors see this.

What an emotional last 15 minutes at the Travelers. So stoked for Keegan Bradley. So bummed for Tommy Fleetwood. Ugh.

Let the debate really begin on Bradley to be a player-captain at the Ryder Cup. He’s been so solid all year. #PGATour

I didn’t think a Wayne Gretzky stat could ever surprise me again until tonight when he non-chalantly told @NHL_On_TNT that he scored 400 goals as a 10-year-old.

400!

SVG: “Who wants to watch Mitchell Robinson shoot free throws on every possession?”

Me: “Pacers fans. Duh.”

NASCAR's debut on Prime Video already has one big difference. Announcers going semi-casual with no ties.

Happy Motorsport Christmas Eve to those who celebrate.

The superstition of not shaving during the NHL Playoffs is funny.

If you think about it, for every player who doesn’t shave and wins the Stanley Cup, there are 15 players who didn’t shave and lost.

So, if you don’t shave, it increases your chances exactly none.

Who thought it was a good idea to let Michael Waltrip wave a yellow flag at this time of night? #NASCAR #AllStarRace
