Agreed on McCain, I think it’s more frustration with the feeling that they traded him to save Harris a few bucks

I am excited for the warm weather in Philly this weekend to get outside and off the treadmill but definitely not looking forward to the ego hit when I'm running about 90% of the speed I think I run.

It's amazing that Pollard can just crap out the world's catchiest melodies while 30 beers deep

Philly’s own! Love this song, I feel like this band was under appreciated

That’s the beauty of it, the dead cap hit is so bad if they cut him that they basically have to keep him around. I feel like there was something before the 2025 season where if they cut him the cap hit would be so big they couldn’t have fielded a team

As someone whose livelihood depends on people still going to Baseball Reference to look up stats like this, I'm OK with this!

As I said in my work Slack (because of course we are discussing Casty there), he’s an intense weirdo and I wish he’d been a better player cause it was fun having him on the team.

I'm losing it at the number of people who seem to only remember him hitting 2 homers in back-to-back games (which was fun!) and have literally no other memory of his other 36 Phillies playoff games

I love those channels, then I start thinking about the logistics of the bathroom setups and change my mind

Man I was really sad to see that email yesterday and missed reading the newsletter this morning while I was drinking my coffee (I needed some takes on how the Sixers almost lost to the freaking KINGS, ugh).

Making me remember two different weddings I was at where the DJs played that song and everyone went apeshit and now I'm feeling sad & old too

Totally agree, he sounds so much more relaxed than last year

The number of times during this game I’ve said β€œwhat the hell was that?”

The dots on an absolutely absurd play that the Rams had no business surrendering.

And yet, they did.

Caleb Williams gets his answer prayered.

Had to look it up, most combined turnovers in a playoff game is 9, most recently in Super Bowl XXVII in 1991 www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tin...

My wife and I just watched that last night and I do not think it was a good idea (I mean, great movie but oof)

I mean, we'll make it break off if someone leaves it in their car I guess? That's the best we can do.

The thought entered my head that it would be very Browns-y to bring Belichick back in both a hilarious and awful way.

I was working on something for @pro-football-reference.com and had to triple check when I saw that cause I thought something must be bugged

And then the broadcast never talked about it or showed a replay
