What a long, strange trip it's been....
It wasn't the DC who failed to take the 3 points and force the Lions to go the length of the field. Phenomenally stupid play calling.

Someone's gotta take the IP, so at least he's a SP, but since Hoyer won't spend like a major market team, that $22M means more lotto tickets instead of a couple front-line SPs who can still throw in October.

It should be more than a simple "dig". This is the annual weak-sauce scrimmage week in the SEC, where the supposed best teams in the nation play the Little Sisters of the Poor instead of manning up and playing competitive football. The CFP Committee should penalize them for this.

Republican Jesus charges more than the NFL can afford to make an appearance. And loaves would be $25 ea and fish $49.99 / lb.

Hoyer lost his much-coveted draft pick when Shota called his bluff. He's done until ST.

Hoyer's shown he's only interested in reclamation projects who will exceed their previous IP sometime in July. He will never sign a long-term TOR contract.
This year's #Cubs is his bulls-eye: 6 Wrigley playoff games w/out exceeding the lux cap. And Ricketts loves him for it.

In the modern no-defense NBA era, this is pretty much just a matter of showing up. Never played baseball, either.

Gym Jordan enabled the sexual abuse of students under his supervision and care. Since he's all for exposing "the bad guys", he can start w/ himself.

He was 6th in MLB in HRs allowed. His bWAR was half of the previous season at 1.5. His FIP jumped to 4.86. He'll be 32, with a completely unknown CBA coming.
He's taking the large sum of cash sitting in front of him on the table; the proverbial bird-in-the-hand. And the #Cubs are stuck w/ him.

That's how the entertainment industry works: pure market-based merit. Should the day come that the WNBA produces more entertainment value than the NBA, then WNBA players will make more than NBA players. Until then, they won't.

Cue the diatribe against the change to Commanders:
"What a woke name. People beg me all the time. 'Sir, please order changing it back. We're not racist - we love Indians. We even named a Senator after Pocahontas.'
"Should have named the team after me. Still could. So much winning."

He hates paying the lux tax because it's non-productive spending, and he agrees w/ his POBO's philosophy to do just enough to squeak into the playoffs and treat them like a crap shoot. The #Cubs will never commit top dollar as long as Ricketts owns the team.

Pretty much everything that's wrong w/ contemporary America, starting with the emphasis of "influencers" and continuing on to the marginalization of education at a major state university because all that matters is sports ball and consumer-driven status signalling.

Compare and contrast the two conference's fan bases. What else does the typical SEC fan have to do with his time?
