People be like womens are too emotional. My brother. Have you seen a sportballs fan?
I’m never going to forgive Robert Kraft for what will surely be a short lived Macklemore revival
Wow! College Football is the closest an American sport comes to a European soccer league, and people still love it. Miss me with that salary cap nonsense
Jason Kirk@jasonkirk.fyi · 6d agoSo much work by my colleagues went into this. (To be clear I did absolutely none of that work, but saying "so much work by my colleagues went into this" is an old trick that makes people think you must have been really helpful.

I shouldn’t hate Zack Snyder but I can’t help it. He makes such shit movies because he wants to be profound (which he ain’t), when he could just make stupid fun movies and be fine. He’s a try hard. The worst type of hard and try. Fuck him
Chase 'Hutch' Hutchinson 📽️@eclectichutch.bsky.social · last wk.THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH: Zack Snyder’s agonizing slog of a movie paints an inescapably, exhaustingly ugly picture. His worst film yet and one of the worst films I've seen at a major film festival, it's an irredeemable disaster. A truly vile work 📽️ My #TIFF2026 review: www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

These teams that do the 4th down hard count need to fucking have a play where they actually go for it. Catch em with the pants down
It is 2047, I am once again streaming the Browns offense to another fantasy title
Huge fan of Bill Cowher’s whole cartoon robber baron steez
I like how in the back it says, “different ideas. A stronger tomorrow,” and in the front it says, “prove me wrong.” Completely competing ideologies, but hey, that’s a median voter for yuh
Christopher Owen@oysta.au · last wk.fuck, now this is some content
Cannot wait for those 15 staffers to be thrown down under the bus
A dire warning, billionaire criminal Musk has set up a scheme in the form of a website votesafe.org in order to steal voter information. Never click on the link and please share this everywhere so others won’t fall prey to it like so many others.
I know the Pats lost to the Raiders to start last season, but damn, that was an objectively awful collapse. Pure capitulation. Love to see it
How many times they gonna show Drake Maye licking his lips?
The comments are unsurprisingly made by a bunch of people who cannot comprehend how hilarious this quote is

I do love how Deandre Jordan, who they just guaranteed two years to, is nowhere to be found
Woke won’t admit it, but fascism raises some interesting questions. Chiefly, how massive can one’s little dick energy become?
I’ve long joked that Dillon Brooks looked like a guy who asks to be addressed as sensei, and I’m glad to learn that my premonitions were correct
