New Gyro Step mailbag pod this morning! We answered tons of great questions on vet trade value, the Burries/Rollins duo, if Ware and Turner can play together, our expected risers and fallers and more. Links at GSPN.info to listen or watch now

Brewers fan, Bucks, US Soccer and I guess the Packers as well. Math nerd: elections, policy, statistics etc. That's me in a nutshell
And I note this not even to suggest that caps don’t guard against dynasties (although they don’t!), but to say this: dynasties and repeat champions are *part of normal sports cycles*, and throwing tantrums about them is strange and illogical!
How dare you, Jeff Cirillo will always be a Hall of Famer in our hearts.
Packers fans and their "worthless" stock certificates like...
Hide The Money, Y'all, There's Poor People Around!

NFL News Poster@nflnewsposter.bsky.social · 2mo ago[Schefter] The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site. twitter.com/AdamSchefter...
MLS says a stopped clock would “improve consistency and fan understanding.” For example, stopping play could help fans understand that Continental is the smart choice in tires
Pablo Maurer@mlsist.bsky.social · 3mo agoNEW: MLS has had preliminary discussions with IFAB about potentially trialing the use of a stopped clock during matches, a potentially fundamental, massive change to the laws of the game. I have much more on the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
WNbA has implemented new freedom of movement rules for everyone except Caitlin. Still allowed to hold and push her without a call.
@cyrthogg.bsky.social perhaps a talking point for one of your next pods... I was looking at wRC+ vs DRC+ for the Crew. Here is the top 10 in PA sorted by DRC+. I, for one, was shocked that Sal was at 103!
@jaymesl.bsky.social where do you all think Aaron Ashby ranks in appearances? Or reliever innings? Hint: it is no where near first. He leads the league in two categories— pitcher wins, and alphabetical names.
How often is the no. 1 pick in the WNBA draft not the best player on her college team?
Jacob Misiorowski isn't so much trying to win the Cy Young Award, as get it renamed after him.
@cyrthogg.bsky.social we need* some clarity on this deal. Is it 8 years $51M plus 2 team options at $15M each? *need is a strong word, especially since it isn't my money, its Cooper's now.
@cyrthogg.bsky.social Joey Ortiz not in the lineup tongiht... Is he in the lockerroom?
another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"
Just in case Mark DeRosa is unclear: Yes, this does eliminate the USA from the WBC
This is why Brewers fans would be dumb to support a salary cap.
RD Topp@rdtopp.bsky.social · 5mo agoAnd if owners give up control years to make that happen, which is the thing the players would most want and demand in return, the Brewers whole operating system goes flying out the window and then they are truly and irrevocably fucked. The cure is worse than the disease here.
@rdtopp.bsky.social pedantic, I know, but Andrew Vaughn joined the Brewers on July 7th. From July 7th on, the best hitter on the Brewers was Brice Turang: .298/.370/.519 for a 147 wRC+! FIVE NINETEEN! (also wild that minimum 70 PA everyone but Perkins and Joey was > 110, 11 guys!)
Two straight blowouts, why should the AFC get an automatic Super Bowl berth?
RedditCFB@redditcfb.com · 6mo agoWe are seeing a blowout in the Super Bowl. Should the NFL panic and change the entire playoff format?
First baseball arby decision to make sense since Braun beat the charges. bsky.app/profile/jeff...
Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 6mo agoBREAKING: Two-time reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal won his arbitration case and will make $32 million this year, sources tell ESPN. Skubal’s bet to go for the largest salary ever in the arbitration system paid off, as he’ll make $13M more than Tigers argued.
@jimowczarski.bsky.social pool report question needs to be phrased “replays clearly show that Myles Turners foot was not on the sideline, so why did you call him out anyway?”
@jimowczarski.bsky.social Jim, his left foot is literally never out of bounds. What are we even doing here? I mean, this is absurd beyond belief
24 hours until the trade deadline, Bucks fans. Milwaukee vs. Everybody. #KeepGiannis
Deploy the national fuckin guard you spineless piece of shit
Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov · 7mo agoI just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
