The Dodgers have a local tv rights deal from a bankruptcy court settlement 15 years ago that nets them $130M more annually than any other MLB team, and $200M more than small market teams like the Brewers.

Mostly stats about UVA, Cleveland, or DC sports teams with occasional bald eagle pictures
Last season in just 8 games, UVA linebacker Kam Robinson had four plays that swung Virginia's win probability by at least 15% in the Hoos favor: -Pick 6 vs Louisville (+35%) -Safety vs Wash. St (+22%) -Pick 6 vs Cal (+28%) -Blocked punt vs Wake (+16%)
UVA's Kam Robinson has 100 solo tackles, 8 sacks, and 3 pick-six's in his career. He is the only player college football in the past 20 years to put up those stats in less than 35 games.
Virginia football's first 5 games: #5 in yards gained per game #8 in points scored per game Virginia football's last 8 games: #5 in yards allowed per game #9 in points allowed per game

Indiana, Ole Miss, and Virginia were the only college football teams that were not down more than 10 points at any point all last season.
It’s going awkward when my Ugonna Onyenso Rockets, Knicks, and Pistons jerseys all arrive in the mail at the same time.

Former UVA star Zack Gelof has a hit and a run in each of his past 13 games. He is the only MLB player to do that in the past 15 years. #HoosintheMLB #ProHoos
Former UVA star Zack Gelof is on a 23-game hitting streak! That is the longest active streak in the MLB and second longest so far this year. It is the longest streak for an Athletics player since 2002! #HoosintheMLB #ProHoos
Former UVA star Zack Gelof is on a 19-game hitting streak. That is the longest active streak in the MLB and second longest so far this year.
NBA teams are 5-750 in the playoffs when down by 20 points or more in the fourth quarter in 30 years of play-by-play data. The Knicks are 2 of those 5 wins in the past month.
@dannyheifetz.bsky.social Some ring advice. 1) Never take it off. Too easy to lose and hard to get back on in DC humidity. 2) Use foam hand soap instead of bar soap. Chunks of the bar soap will get stuck in between the ring and your finger. Kind of annoying.
