I get the show. Mostly sports observations/liking cute animal videos to show my gf. I HATE that every comment thread is just unrelated videos from blue check.
Every item at Goodwill tells a story.
This child’s baseball glove tells the story of a 5 year old with a broken nose who will never trust his Dad again.
"Hold the glove sideways and catch it in the web, ok? Trust me. Ok, buddy, here it comes."
@jeremytache I’m certain that you noticed that @MichaelRyanRuiz was allowed to describe a scene so happy they were throwing babies in the air. Not a bit of pushback or scrutiny.
I’ll triple down on his fake injury take
I despise it in soccer
I hate it in the NBA
If you’re writhing in pain and look like you’ve been assassinated and then return to play 15 seconds later?
Straight to jail
But you don’t see that garbage in the NFL often
I'm not a soccer fan by any means,
But 1. He just described the NBA
2. He just described NHL
3. The points scored per game by a NFL team this year was 22.9. Or 3 touchdowns. Make soccer goals worth 7 and you suddenly have the same scoring.
@BadSportsRefs KAT this same game reaching for a call.
He did the same thing in game 4, second half, just can’t remember when. Pulled spurs player into the bench and still whined that he didn’t get the call
Genuine question, do the companies that buy naming rights to these stadiums years in advance get some money back for this? This feels like a huge contracts issue but idk
@ZaslowShow You were so right when you sent this tweet
I was rooting for the spurs to choke them out when you sent it
But as you’ve said on the @LeBatardShow several times this playoffs “I’ve been wrong every single game somehow”
You couldn’t have guessed the spurs would freeze from 3
@jeremytache Hollered from my couch to dribble it out for a few seconds and hit some free throws. Never replayed or mentioned by the announcers as a gaffe.
Last Sunday in Chicago, a room full of oncologists stood up in the middle of a scientific presentation. Not at the end. In the middle. Brian Wolpin was reading numbers off a graph in a monotone when the standing ovation started. Daraxonrasib had nearly doubled survival time for pancreatic cancer patients who had already been through one round of chemotherapy - 13.2 months versus 6.7 months. For a disease that killed more than 50,000 Americans last year and that scientists once called "undruggable," that graph represented decades of work finally breaking through.
Here is where that breakthrough came from. The KRAS gene mutation driving most pancreatic cancers was identified in the 1980s with federal research funding. The mouse models that made it possible to study the tumors were developed at MIT and Dana-Farber - institutions that run on federal grants. The discovery that KRAS could be bound to at all came from researchers at Vanderbilt and UCSF. Harold Varmus, then head of the National Cancer Institute - a federal agency - launched the RAS Initiative when private capital dried up because investors thought the target was hopeless. The Frederick National Laboratory, a federal facility, coordinated research across institutions worldwide.
"All of the biology that was understood about RAS... much of that is federally funded," Wolpin said. "It was decades of investment in science."
The Trump administration has repeatedly frozen NIH funding, proposed political appointee review of all federal grants, and is now requiring that funding decisions "align" with administration priorities. The damage, as a Harvard School of Public Health researcher put it, will be invisible for years. It will show up as an absence - the breakthrough that doesn't happen in 2045, the drug that doesn't exist in 2052, the patients who die from a cancer that could have been treated if the research pipeline had stayed intact.
The patient who gets 13.2 months instead of 6.7 months because of daraxonrasib is real and documentable. The patient who gets nothing in 30 years because the funding was cut is invisible. That invisibility is the whole problem.
The clean blocked shot happened first. Then @ReggieMillerTNT noted the “shot” to the back of the head of a guy falling down backward onto someone else’s shin to legitimize a foul that didn’t happen.
@MichaelRyanRuiz@__ChrisCote It’s incredible how @LeBatardShow couldn’t understand the premise of getting groceries delivered and assembling your own sandwich. He asked “where do you get this?” and said “establishment” like 3 times. HOW RICH IS HE?!
“Circumstances pertaining to government” has the same level of intelligence as when he said hurricane Florence was “one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water”
Trump has just announced he will not attend Don Jr's wedding this weekend, due to "circumstances pertaining to Government."
Trump's official schedule shows he will be spending the weekend at his golf resort in New Jersey.
@Jameswharton_ I just listened to your interview with Jonathan Simon. Insightful answers but could I tell you something about your media delivery: you say “At the end of the day” a lot. Often twice in a sentence. Just so when you make it to F1 you’ll sound better. Good luck
@JuJuGotti I’m not sure if you’re in control of it but maybe you can pass this on: I hate the recent change of the titles of podcast episodes putting “hour 1” at the end instead of the beginning. Huge error.
I demand a Suey Award Nomination for @MichaelRyanRuiz and @10DayTony for the Friendly Cousins Mendoza handshake. Limited fake? I don’t care the category. Cried laughing at “No please, call me KIRK cousins”
