The reasons for Willson Contreras' 7-game suspension relate in part to throwing his helmet and also violating the league's social media policy by posting on Instagram during an in-progress game, per source.
Wow. A Red Sox player suspended for inviting a Red Sox fan to come to Fenway during an MLB game? Isn’t that every baseball fan’s dream? Grow the game, my ass. Bad look for MLB imo.
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
I’ve really enjoyed the differences between the European and US commentators.
US: “oh and he’s just missed it!”
EUROPEAN: “Horrible effort, that. Terrible to be honest. How can he go home to his children after that I don’t know.”
The mistake is thinking that the World Cup is about soccer. It’s not. It’s about gathering a collection of the world’s greatest binge drinking goofballs and giving them a month to show us all their best.
Sam Kennedy: "I fully understand the questions about Craig Breslow and his job security and all of that, but the issue of change there, just to be clear, is not on the table. He is working as hard as anyone to get things back on track."
Its what private equity firms do. 1. Buy successful business/infiltrate boards 2. Jack up prices and make a metric fuck ton of money for 5-7 yrs 3. Ppl catch on, stop buying products, company dissolves. 4. Find new business. 5. Repeat
NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Topgolf: the $1.5 billion mistake
At one point, Topgolf was called the best thing to happen to golf since Tiger Woods. But in January 2026, the entire business was sold to a private equity firm in what many considered a fire sale. The price was $1.1 billion, less than half of what the company had been worth just five years earlier.
Here’s the surprising part: during those five years, the business never stopped growing. Topgolf kept opening new locations, attracting new customers, and generating more revenue.
So how does a company with growing sales, expanding locations, and a popular brand lose so much value?
What went wrong? Was it bad management, changing consumer habits, or something deeper hidden in the business model?
This is the rise and fall of Topgolf, version two.
.@Buster_ESPN on the Red Sox:
“What I’ve heard today is, they’re aggressively looking for a right-handed hitter… It might be a case where the Red Sox are willing to take on a bad contract.”
