@KyleDemetrius Let’s hope Dickinson figures it out! Those two would be lethal!

@warriorsworld The ucla dt tackles the cal RT to get the free rush. No call

We are going to have a lockout because these owners, who can sell their teams for upwards of $4 Billion, are too poor to pay their players.

It's going to be a horrible winter ahead. Don't you dare let the owners trick you into joining their side.

Apparently concert venues are having a hard time getting Millennials to fill the seats. Well, hello. Millennial here. I think I can help.

DEAR CONCERT VENUES:

🎟️ Just tell me what the ticket costs. I do not want to select a $79 ticket and discover at checkout that it is actually $146 because of a facility fee, service fee, processing fee, and a fee for having successfully paid the other fees.

📱 Stop making ticket buying a military operation. I should not need three apps, a verified fan code, a presale password from a credit card I don’t own, and 11:00 AM availability on a Tuesday to buy two seats.

💺 Assigned seats. We did our time standing shoulder-to-shoulder at shows in 2008. Some of us have mortgages now. Some of us have sciatica.

🕖 Start earlier. A 7 PM show is not embarrassing. In fact, I would like to formally recognize whoever invented the 7 PM show.

⏰ And tell us the actual times. “Doors at 7” is not useful information if the opener starts at 8:15 and the person I came to see appears at 10:07.

🚗 Parking instructions written for a normal person. Tell me which garage to use, what it costs, and whether I will spend 55 minutes trying to leave it afterward. I am willing to pay $20 for certainty.

🍺 I will buy your $14 beer. I have accepted this. But if I miss three songs waiting for it, you have broken the social contract.

🚽 Enough bathrooms. We are in our 30s and 40s. Half of us have had children. This is now infrastructure.

🔉 It can still be loud. We are Millennials, not the Greatest Generation. But some of us are bringing earplugs now and we are no longer ashamed of it.

DEAR ARTISTS:

⏰ Please go on roughly when you said you would. We have babysitters. The babysitter has an end time. This is now a logistics problem involving several adults.

🎤 Play the songs from 2004–2014. You know which ones. We know which ones. Nobody needs to pretend otherwise.

🎶 Play some new stuff. Absolutely. We support your continued artistic development. But there is a point in the evening when you need to play the song that was on our iPod Nano while we drove to high school.

📵 You can tell us to put our phones away. We secretly want someone to make us do this anyway.

🪑 An intermission would not offend us. We can use the bathroom, answer the babysitter, check whether the dog has destroyed anything, and look at Zillow for eight minutes.

And please understand: Millennials still like concerts.

We have disposable income now. We are nostalgic. We will absolutely spend irresponsible amounts of money to hear a band we first discovered on LimeWire.

But we also have jobs, children, dogs, mortgages, lower-back problems, and a very clear memory of when concert tickets cost $35.

You want Millennials back?

Make it easy to buy the ticket. Tell us when the show actually starts. Give us somewhere to sit. Play the song from 2007.

We’ll be there.

We just need to be home by 11.

NEW: Oregon HC Dan Lanning on NFL players coming back to college football:

"Once you go to the NFL, you're in the NFL. You don't get the opportunity to come back."

“It’s unfair to the sport... It’s unfair to the players on current teams.” 😳

The Hall of Fame has been strict about not letting broadcasters go in together, and both Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper have fallen short when they've been on the ballot individually. Hopefully it's something the Hall reconsiders ... Kruk and Kuip should go in together.

[Susan Slusser @susanslusser]

Tony Vitello was clearly not happy to hear that last night’s Apple TV broadcast implied that Willy Adames’ defensive preparation is inadequate because he isn’t able to work with Ron Washington daily. (And to be clear: he DOES work with Wash at last a few times a week).

[Bobby Collins @BCollins16]

This x10

[Greg Silver @GregSilverSport]

I don't have an issue with the individual players the Warriors brought back this offseason. Many of them signed reasonable contracts too.

But it's really hard for a fanbase to look at the fact that a 37-win team seems content running it back, only knowing beforehand that Butler and Moody are going to miss a big chunk of time, not to mention the expected games missed for Steph, Draymond, Horford, and Porzingis.

[Gautam Ratnam @GautamRatnamNBA]

Two worst factions of the fanbase: Kuminga stans + Warriors corporate shills gaslighting real fans into thinking this mismanagement of Steph Curry’s last years is something fans can’t complain about because Lacob isn’t Chris Cohan

[Bobby Collins @BCollins16]

@AndyKHLiu Man I looks good

[Bobby Collins @BCollins16]

@SleeperSFGiants Yes to both very quickly. Schmitt is fun, but they should smash accept if the mariners actually sent this.

[George Kittle @gkittle46]

Grass looks great at MetLife! Can we keep it that way @NFL ?? Would appreciate it thanks

[Dom Italiano @itsdomyoutube]

Ea Sports choosing the year GTA 6 drops to be the year they completely implode all of their best modes is truly hilarious

[Tubby (Bring NCAA Back) @tubbycfb]

Dude, it's an offline game mode. If they want this to be the default settings, fine, but allow us to adjust this with sliders. Again, they are intentionally making progression more difficult. I can't believe how they've ruined this mode.

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyt]

EA thinks we’re stupid. When we could pay you to progress faster, it was okay ✅

Now that we pushed back on your microtransactions, you’re saying we can’t progress faster for free because it compromises the game modes?? 🤣

you are just insulting your player base now @EASPORTSCollege

[Drew (NTE) @NotTheExpertYT]

Put it in the rafters @bordeauxyt

[SuperiorUSMNT @EinSchwarzwelt]

You hire Poch, give him a year and a half to unfuck Berhalter Sr washed culture of a squad, ask him to waste everyone's time calling up My Little Soccer frauds for marketing time in Gold Cup and 2025 friendlies (Walker Zimmerman playing 90 min vs Switzerland in Nashville then promptly discarded and never relevant ever again), then ask him to do the impossible and go into quarterfinals/semifinals with a group of players that have been fucked by weak mentalities for YEARS; and now all of a sudden Poch is the fraud, the 4-1 loss to Belgium was all on him.

Never mind the fact that we got the most wins in our WC campaign, most points in group stage, most goals scored ever at a WC.
