that jeff kent thing is such a specific tailored insult to barry bonds, it boils my blood.

[I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PEDs, I NEVER WILL.]

bonds was the absolute picture of grace at rickwood while openly mourning his godfather, and this is how he's repaid. he should tell them all to fuck off.

congratulations to all the special boys in administrative roles in CFB who created the NFL plus subjectivity and lawlessness! hope you like all the money you take while completely diluting the sport!

every time yurachek talks about CFP committee stuff it is giving "oh shit i was NOT supposed to be in charge of the group, i did NOT read the book and i only signed up to make the power point."

every city has a cursèd corner - iirc @actioncookbook.com did a newsletter on this? - and after many years of fallow after a series of failed restaurants, they're giving an oil change place a try on ours. good luck.

the commercial with drake maye's baby-faced self talking to the kid where maye goes "boats are a depreciable asset" and the kid hits him with "i don't DEPRECIATE the way you're talking to me right now!" tickles my pun-loving tax lawyer heart so deeply.

i gotta say, even after all these years, it is so weird to this mid-size VA public college grad to see JMU this prominent in big time sports. i am not sure they even had a fight song in 1998 when i moved to the I-81 corridor.

if i wasn't, then why would i SAY i am

so i ordered a lamp with shelves last week. i never got a shipping confirmation. yesterday they were like "your item is delayed," still in the processing stage. just walked out the back door to find this. got all the way here without ever once being scanned. 😳

i am actually really sad for soccer people that their biggest party is being thoroughly ruined by the worst people. it's supposed to be so much fun, and well, this is happening.

hey, wanna feel like you're making a difference? pick a cause and invest in it. i just set up our annual giving to my favorite group, and i got the sweetest note back from their development team. made my whole day.

and if you have a few spare $ for my LGBTQ+ neighbor bébés, they'd appreciate it. ❤️

at the doctor for a check-in. a scruffy redneck boomer man just opened his phone and the following played at full volume for all to hear:

DO YOU KNOW WHY THESE ACTORS HAVE MONSTROUS COCKS, IT'S NOT JUST TESTOSTERONE

had a little get together tonight with the folks at my gym. the theme was "dress like the north pole," but i do not have any clothes that fit that bill. however, i do have this. it worked, lol.

one time at the grand prix of alabama at the driver autograph session, felix rosenqvist noticed i was absolutely sweltering and gave me his water.
What is the most "obscure" piece of sports memorabilia that you own? Why do you have it?

heyyyy, so this is refreshing: a ranking list of artists that owns its subjectivity and tries to be thoughtful about its approach. i LOVE some choices, i'm meh about others, and i learned some stuff.

always go to the show, but double plus go to the show when a good band plays a small room in your live music desert of a small gulf coast city.

the singer on stage just told a long story about how she and her husband developed an inside joke after a lady yelled something at her at this very venue (thankfully not abusive, just typical mobilian not knowing how to act at a show). lord.
