@MacrodosingPod @PFTCommenter @PFTCommenter I’m pretty sure I saw you out at Bridgeforth on occasion kicking field goals. Loved how anyone could just walk through the double gates from Godwin into the middle of the field.

@JMUBarstool If they open up the playbook and he gets to throw, my prediction is there are going to be some tough QB decisions in a couple weeks even if JC-E is healthy.

[John Fraser @JRFraser19]

@JMUBarstool Coleman, JC won’t throw

[John Fraser @JRFraser19]

@JMUSportsNews JC Evans is not the answer, can’t and won’t throw the ball more than 6 yards.

Heading to @FutureConHQ Omaha on August 12? Trinity Cyber will demonstrate a new approach to cyber defense – one that removes malicious content before it becomes an alert, investigation, or incident.

Want to reduce cyber risk without adding complexity? Let's compare notes.

Annual offseason message.
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗟𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿:

Dear Nationals fans,

At the beginning of every offseason, I send you a message spouting the usual nonsense that I’m expected to say and make promises everyone knows I can’t keep.

This year I’ve decided to try something new: I’m going to be honest with you. Here it is:

The Nationals organization and fans are rightfully excited about our many good young players. So are we. Kudos to our strong front office teams, both past and present, that assembled those players thru trades and drafts.

To be clear, this offseason, Paul Toboni will NOT have the financial resources he needs to build a winning team in 2027. Just like we didn’t authorize any spending by Mike Rizzo after 2020.

The organization will also be jacking up ticket prices and concession costs again. We will also raising Parking prices in our taxpayer funded stadium.

Despite your many requests, no way we are hosting NatsFest, despite season ticket holders wanting to meet James Wood, CJ Abrams, Brady House, Cade Cavalli, Jake Irvin and Foster Griffin.

If by chance we do wind up holding NatsFest, it will be outside in the cold January weather rather than inside in the warm convention center. Why? It’s cheaper. Put another sweater on.

Most of all, don’t expect any big signings this offseason signaling that we are going to use our great young core of players to try to be a contender. More likely, we will pillage what we have.

To be sure, we will say the right things and go thru the motions, but don’t forget, other than the Keibert Ruiz extension in 2023, our ownership group hasn’t agreed to ANY extensions or long term agreements since 2020.

Why have the other principal owners of the Nationals, my sisters and my brothers in law, prevented us from investing in the organization? Why are the Nationals regularly among the bottom MLB teams in terms of spending…despite Forbes Magazine estimating our families wealth at $6 billion in 2026?

Here’s why:

we are waiting until the MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement is settled and the value of the franchise shoots up $500 million, $1 billion or more and then we will sell to a private equity fund or some Chinese, Korean or Saudi conglomerate.

We will keep the team’s cost low, so when we sell, our families profit margins will be higher.

My late father, a homegrown DMV baseball fan, bought the organization for $450 from MLB. When the CBA passes, the Nationals will be worth well over $3 billion, probably more. The Padres just sold for $3.9 billion and the DMV market is twice the size of the San Diego metro market.

Honestly, Nats fans, why would we spend to try to build a winner? Rizzo’s Soto trade is paying huge dividends with James Wood & CJ Abrams and Toboni just got 4 good pitchers for Luis Garcia, Jr.

You Nats fans are really suckers. I can’t believe you still believe anything I say.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you again for your support of Washington Nationals baseball.

Best wishes,

Mark D. Lerner

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.
