Jon Heyman@jonheyman.bsky.social · 5d agoManny Ramirez is seeking a hitting coach job in MLB, agent Hector Zepeda said. Ramirez, who hit 555 HRs and batted .312, last worked as a player/coach for the Sydney Blue Sox in Australia in 2020-21. He's so determined to get back in the game he’s willing to go to the minors.

Feels like, especially relative to 5-7 years ago, the entertainment factor of most NFL games is way down. Lots of slog only sometimes leading up to a big bang finish. League has never been shy about adjusting rules. Wonder if they’re considering tweaks? To do what?

Caps just sent out a ticket blast for opening night v a long time rival. Recession indicator? Attendance always lags record by a season. Mediocre last year? Fewer tickets this year. Lesson for the Nats and building revenue… spend money to make money.
Wow what a fun fact. It's fun damn it! WE'RE ALL HAVING FUN!
