I'm at a joint for Sunday Night Football. They use one of those Chinese hacker boxes for TV signal. Don't know what TV market this NBC station is, but the political ads are just as puke as anywhere.

The might be the worst NFL officiating since last week.

[Aaron Nagler @AaronNagler]

Goff's "non grounding" was far, far worse. This game brought to you by FanDuel

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

The WNBA Finals had 5.1 million viewers across Games 1, 2 and 3 combined.

More people watched the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

[Peter Bukowski @Peter_Bukowski]

The NFL has an officiating problem. This is a pathetic joke.

If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl.
But whatever you do, keep moving forward.
Well done young man.❤️❤️respect

The gig economy is 94% unreliable horseshit.

WATCH: Migrant Uber Eats delivery workers in France are using multiple phones to reject low-paying orders, forcing the app’s algorithm to raise delivery offers to €15 or more.

All three can be true at the same time:

The 2026 @packers are not ready for prime time.

The @NFL and it's collection of referees proves it is a clownshow organization.

Tom Brady is a broadcast booth asshat.

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”

“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

Remember in 2013 when he said families would get good healthcare for less than the cost of their cable bills and then the cost of insurance skyrocketed? That was awesome.

The BBC are truly awful

When Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were flying high with Top Gear

The BBC tried to replace one of them with an "Ethnic Minority Presenter" for diversity reasons

[The Twins Almanac @TwinsAlmanac]

On This Date in 1987: With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the sixth in Game 6 of the #WorldSeries, the Cardinals brought in the lefty Ken Dayley to face Kent Hrbek, who hit his first pitch over the center-field fence for the biggest grand slam in Twins history.
