"We have the parameters of a deal that would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.”

Friendly reminder that these things aren't impacted by closing the Strait of Hormuz so maybe, just maybe, we should implement them to avoid being impacted by future conflicts: -Solar panels -Wind turbines -Battery storage -Electric vehicles -Bicycles -Natural fertilizers -Electric heat pumps

At Big 12 football media days Tuesday, Colorado coach Deion Sanders referred multiple times to his new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion as “Brendan." A member of his own staff. I wonder how Coach Prime would feel if one of his assistants called him "Diane" in an interview.

Worth noting and not for nothing: Sunday's comeback win over the Giants gave the Rockies their ninth series victory this season, one more than in all of last season. Over its last 25 games, Colorado is 13-12 (.520).

I'm not going to get mad and tell you you suck, instead I'm going to tell a person I've made up in my head how much they suck and get mad about that person who doesn't exist

Will Clark on why he won’t coach:

“People ask me why I don’t get into coaching or get into managing and all that, I am not going to pat you on the back and tell you you’re doing a good job when you’re hitting .220 and you strikeout 100 times. You actually suck. I’m gonna tell you that you suck. I’m going to tell you to make a fucking adjustment and if you don’t make an adjustment, you’re going to the minor leagues and somebody else is going to go take your spot. Sorry, that’s the way the fucking game goes. This is a big boy game. Not a little boy game. And you have to have fucking thick skin. If you don’t have thick skin, get out the way because I’m gonna fucking steamroll you.”

It was never just about sports. It sure as hell was never about protecting women. It’s about trying to erase trans people, which will never happen, and it’s also about restricting bodily autonomy.

Why the rush to live-sports programming as our viewing habits fracture? In 2005, sports accounted for 14 of Nielsen’s top 100 most-viewed live programs. In 2025, 95 of the top 100 were sports, with football alone taking 90 spots. (via Yahoo Sports Biz, graphic by Lev Akabas/Sportico)
