Matt Lombardo@mattlombardo.bsky.social · 4h agoCommanders are signing WR Stefon Diggs, according to Adam Schefter, it’s a one-year deal worth up to $12M. Solid signing for Washington, Diggs showed he can still be prolific, and he adds a veteran presence opposite Terry McLaurin on a young WR corps. Diggs’ 4.3 YAC ranked 33rd in the NFL in 2025.
In my view, saying ignorant & bigoted bullshit isn't "speaking out". It's vile behavior. These athletes are facing the consequences of their actions. To say otherwise is like saying a racist family member is being "censored" because he's not allowed to say the N word at thanksgiving anymore
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 11h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
Beef is so expensive now that RFK is telling people to eat liver (Although tbh, he’d probably do that either way)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."
Every off-season, NBA teams take low-cost fliers on former lottery picks and stalled prospects. How often do these bets pan out? I looked at the historical data to find out. First article at the new site! Do Cheap Fliers on Failed Prospects Work? intheno.net/do-cheap-fli...

If your primary candidate didn’t win, SO WHAT! Your job is to get out and vote for the candidate that won. Don’t be like the babies who screwed up their future in 2024

The Dodgers will obviously be fine, but them losing Skubal's debut after everyone spent the past few days bemoaning how they ruined baseball is a pretty solid bit
@cptowers.bsky.social This is how I imagine you watching this Eduardo Rodriguez start tonight

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
The Sixers have an open roster spot, but not enough money under the first apron (they’re hard-capped there) to sign another player until December. Keep that in mind when you see rumors from weird sources!
Saw this picture and trying to figure out the Diddy Kong situation is leading me down a rabbit hole that can only end with me rejecting the moon landing
Would I rather my taxes go to helping poor people get food or bombing Middle Eastern women and children? This is a really tough one...
Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social · 2d agoThat's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
We asked 1500 degenerate online libertarian guys who are all trying to screw each other over constantly what they think is going to happen in the world, and the answer might surprise you.

A reminder of the news that came out of Philadelphia hospitals in 2020:
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoRFK Jr: Trump wanted to end lockdowns. In Fauci's diary, he talks about how the president was calling him trying to get him to reopen the country BASH: The lockdowns were down by governors K: They cited Fauci B: Govs were hearing from hospitals that their ICUs were overrun K: That's not true

On the bright side, the Phillies don’t need more help anymore because they’re cooked either way now
Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 4d agoBREAKING: The Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing a trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, sources tell ESPN.
It's weird, when you look back on the coverage of Jackie Robinson integrating Major League Baseball, there weren't a lot of these sympathetic pieces about the fans practicing their rights of freedom of speech by screaming the N-word at him. Progress!
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 4d agoSpeaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn

X views are a total mirage. Whatever Musk reports is certainly a lie. They won't let anyone study the platform for a reason: It's entirely fake; it's a billion Russian bots pretending to be your girlfriend.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoThe audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows, a New York Times analysis suggests. Views are dropping for many of President Trump’s greatest allies. nyti.ms/3TLV4TV

Great read from Keith as usual. Couldn’t help but LOL at this: “Note: No one from Portland was willing to speak with me about the team’s ownership situation. Not even off the record.”
