Philly sports, AEW, and great cinema. Also, sarcasm. Jawning in moderation.
25 years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Steve Jobs, and Vincent Pastore. Now we have no Cash, no Hope, no Jobs, and no Pussy. RIP Big Pussy.
John Smoltz burned his chest because he was ironing his shirt … while wearing it.
Let's remember some Baseball Injuries! I'll go first: Glenallen Hill having a nightmare about spiders that was so bad he fell out of bed and through a glass table
My take from the Jacques Rougeau story is that AEW is adverse to using AI, while it's known that WWE does. Another instance of the sickos being on the right side of history.
Tony Schiavone calling something the "Mortal Kombat Move of the Night" in the vicinity of The Giant on a Thursday night wrestling show on a Turner cable channel. It's like Thunder, except the opposite of sucky. #aewcollision #wrestlesky
Appreciate that the Motor City Machine Guns got a theme that incorporates of the "1967" TNA theme flavor. Maybe Mikey Rukus can cook up singles themes that sound like U2's "The Fly" and that violin-trash can smash thing Sabin had. #aewcollision
The 49ers clearly thought they could get away with hiding Kyle Shanahan's car crash. Like everything, it'll blow over. It was very Trumpian though. defector.com/kyle-shanaha...
Kyle Shanahan And The 49ers Are Not Entitled To Anyone's Trust | Defector
Well, that mystery has been solved. Kyle Shanahan was fishing around for his dropped phone while driving at 20 miles per hour when he crossed into the other lane and hit a car. There. Everyone satisfi...

August 30, 2026 The Young Bucks complete the TLC Six trifecta.
Winnipeg guy vs. Atlanta guy called the Jet. Shouldn't Winnipeg guy be the Jet, and Atlanta guy be the Thrasher? #aewredemption
Shit, Willow's wearing pink in Montreal. Phantom submission incoming. #aewredemption
Wednesday: "Fuck the Painmaker bullshit, retire you asshole" Sunday: "Chris Jericho has been the MVP of this pay-per-view" #aewredemption #wrestlesky
Nick Jackson pulled a Russell Wilson and cleared himself from concussion protocol mid-competition. #aewredemption
Rick Knox’s gimmick is that he doesn’t know how concussion protocol works. #aewredemption
Jack Perry must really hate Nick Wayne if, instead of reaching his hand up 18 inches to grab the title shot contract, he’d rather destroy his sciatic nerve doing a Canadian Destroyer on Wayne through a ladder bridge. #aewredemption
The Conglomeration are honorary Quebecers tonight, because they're handsome, brave, and Roderick. #aewredemption
They're just booing because the Rougeaus live in Memphis #aewredemption
They couldn't just license "All American Boys" off Spotify somehow? Damn it. #aewredemption
Kolchak's got his work cut out for him, trying to match all the teethmarks to 700 different Bumpus dogs. #svengoolie
BREAKING: LeBron James will wear No. 23 in Philadelphia to honor his favorite all-time Philly athlete, Paul Bako.
LeBron James is going to use his superpowers to do what people in Philly have wanted for years: Convince Xfinity Mobile Arena to allow AEW events, so that AEW doesn't have to run Liacouras any more.
I felt a great disturbance in the Philly force, as if millions of voices that made fun of LeBron’s receding hairline and/or nepo-baby son suddenly backtracked.
So Weird Al turned down an AI ad and also the Riyadh comedy festival and the lesson is Weird Al has more integrity than the vast majority of entertainers triblive.com/aande/music/...
‘Weird Al’ Yankovic gets Bigger & Weirder in a tour headed to Pittsburgh
It’s fairly easy to see how “Weird Al” Yankovic’s Bigger and Weirder tour got its name. The tour grew to 90 cities (after hitting 75 last year), plus the band has doubled in si...

Guess who had the integrity not to accept $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival last year?
‘Weird Al’ Yankovic Turned Down Million-Dollar Offer to Perform in Saudi Arabia: ‘I Don’t Need to Take Any Money if It Makes Me Feel Icky’
'Weird Al' Yankovic revealed he turned down a seven-figure offer to perform at the state-sponsored Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia.

This is months old, but especially hilarious today. Jumped off the state media ship last year when I sniffed out the future direction (like many others with ears) and apparently got blocked for telling the truth? I hope Megan Kelly does a crossover show with them!
The new AEW drinking game is called "Liver Damage". Chug every time somebody enters with a championship belt, whether it's one of AEW's or another promotion's. #aewdynamite
Megan Bayne's wearing 77 in honor of Mekhi Becton, because both of them are better in opening up running lanes than Tyler Steen is. #aewdynamite
