The Dodgers aren’t special, they aren’t “the best run organization in baseball” They have a special deal from MLB that enables them to financially cheat and spend nearly twice what any other team could
All of the breathless complimenting of the Dodgers completely ignores that the Dodgers are only able to spend like this because MLB gave them a special TV carveout after the McCourt Bankruptcy
They are the only 1 of 30 MLB teams that doesn’t have to fully share their TV revenue
They also happen to have the largest local TV contract
This is the only reason they can spend like they do
MLB created this entire situation and sees an opportunity to use it to finally try to get a cap
We don’t need a cap, all MLB needs to do is revoke this settlement and nationalize all TV Rights. Just stop giving the Dodgers the ability to cheat
Any team can be great when you have enough to spend that you can burn $110M/yr in salary and luxury tax on Kyle Tucker while he has the worst season of his career and not feel it.
They have Snell, Glasnow and half of their most expensive pitchers injured now for more of the season than they’ve been healthy and haven’t even noticed
This is all because MLB gave them a special deal on their TV rights no other team gets
Not Because Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman are geniuses

Pete Crow-Armstrong on extension talks:
“I’ve made it clear I want to be here for as long as they want me. I want what’s best for the team. I’m cool with being under team control and being here. League minimum ain’t too fucking bad … I play the game because I like beating other people. The money will be life-changing regardless. I would like to get a fair deal so I don’t fuck the market up. I want to look out for the other center fielders who have to go through the same process. Which is why I’m glad Cubs management and my agents are figuring out how to do that.”

The reality of the Tom Aspinall eye situation is simple: he quit because he knew he was going to lose and then embellished the injury for sympathy.
The tendons around his eye were “sore” yet no serious damage was found by any doctors.
He hated being called a quitter, Dana White piled on, so him and his dad crafted a plan to spin the narrative.
He had injections in both eyes for inflammation, then underwent laser vision correction (likely PRK) to address a pre-existing issue.
Next came the full-blown media gaslighting campaign by Ariel Helwani & company pushing a pity-party apology tour while ignoring the glaring inconsistencies.
The nail in the coffin? Claiming he couldn’t play with his kids or do footwork drills… while posting vlogs gallivanting around Italy juggling a soccer ball.
Multiple people in his orbit reportedly told him to drop the act, but his dad insisted they double and triple down because they felt “wronged.”
This likely ends with Aspinall being stripped of his belt & his team extremely bitter about it.
The choices this Labour government has made means inflation has fallen today to its lowest rate in a year.
Lower food and petrol prices are helping ease the pressure on household budgets.
I know there’s more to do, cutting the cost of living is my number one priority.
I'll say it again:
It's not Tom's fault he got poked, but he was losing the fight before that and took the way out.
If you don't believe that you're just coping and lying to yourself.
Aljamain Sterling’s wild reaction to Tom Aspinall not continuing to fight after the eye poke: “Right away the guy was saying ‘I can’t see’. It makes me question, ‘did that really hurt as much as you said it did?’”
Tom Aspinall caught red handed. He says he can’t even shake hands because of how brutal the eye poke was.
Yet here he is having no issue when he thinks the cameras aren’t rolling.
✅ Ran out of the UFC by Cyril Gane
✅ Called Jon Jones inactive, got stripped due to inactivity
✅ “I can beat you Jon” but got pieced up by the guy that Jon beat in 2 mins flat
✅ Got eye surgery to convince low iq mma fans that his eye injury was serious
✅ Terrible resume
Aspinall was exposed badly here. How anybody watches this & not come to the conclusion he’s over exaggerating is beyond me.
He said he was having 2 different surgeries on 2 different eyes spread apart in late Dec/Jan. Now he had both surgeries at the same time Feb. There’s more
