My annual reminder that Andy Pettitte took PEDs and lied about it multiple times, giving half-truths each time new information turned up that he could not deny.

Which is to say that you should ignore anyone who supports his Hall of Fame case while knocking Manny, A-Rod, etc. for PED use/dishonesty.

COLUMN: The ACC airing replay review communication is awesome, and every conference should start doing this.

Transparency is good for fans, plus it's more entertaining TV than the status quo.

DID THEY GET "GOLD DIGGER" OR NOT?!?!?!
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office refused four trademark applications filed by Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson, according to an application obtained by The Athletic.

He was denied the mark “Do your job (Bill’s version).”

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

It's really simple: make a better pitch, Freeland.
Something you don't see every day in the Giants vs. Rockies game.

Rafael Devers hits a home run off of Kyle Freeland. Freeland yells at Devers for staring at the home run and the benches cleared as Devers was running the bases.

Dave Flemming and Javier Lopez had the call.

remember, it's important to avoid overreacting to the first half of Week 0. but I feel like it's fair to say that Arch Manning is the biggest disappointment in sports history, and that you have to question the entire Manning family legacy for raising such an unsuccessful child

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

If you’re an elected Democrat (rightly) complaining about the GOP kicking 17 million people off of Medicaid, now is a good and credible time to critique the entire broken work-based non-universal US healthcare system. Now is the time to call for universal healthcare, for Medicare for All.
