My brother, I’ve been reading good sports writing since I was a kid in Kansas City reading the Star. We grew up on writers like Posnanski, Wright Thompson, Vahe, countless others. Missouri J-school grads and others. Seemingly with a conduit to the greats like Grantland Rice. This was that level of storytelling. 🫡🇺🇸
@minakimes@ByNateTaylor I don’t mind a good screen pass. But I do mind a screen pass when it’s third and Long. I will never understand that. And I’ve seen way too many of those from the Chiefs.
Love hearing nuggets like this...USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino was only hired because hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin (and others) helped cover his salary worth several million dollars annually.
@FreddyLA7 You need to hit good places in New Orleans. Everyone should have recommendations and can respond, but Cafe du Monde for beignets, Le Bon Temps Roule for a great bar, try the local Abita Amber beer, get a fried shrimp Po Boy sandwich.
@DannLFCTR With respect, hate is a strong word. I’m sure there may be Liverpool supporters who are disappointed in his goal scoring and finishing, but his effort was inspiring and endearing. Long live Captain chaos.
@BuzzPatterson@ChadBianco Even though I support Steve, Republicans griping about too many competitive choices whilst shaming the democrats for not holding competitive primaries is questionable.
For those two I just hope they get what they’ve earned and what keeps them in Anaheim a long time. Although it’s not an open contract, Beckett needs to continue to develop next season, but I think he’s up for the challenge. As is always the case, it’s the supporting cast that I’m most concerned about. I think the GM made some moves that turned out to be incredibly timely and insightful, but as you know, it doesn’t always happen that way. He needs to stay on his hot streak with acquisitions and trades.
I grew up in a small market MLB town. The Angels are a big market team operating with a small market mentality and budget. I’m grateful Arte has kept the team in Anaheim, even though they totally fumbled the stadium redevelopment. (Ducks are crushing that idea). But it won’t change until Arte sells.
@AngelsTalk27 Perry will finish out the season if he performs to the metrics Arte has outlined. As disgusting as it may be, winning may not be one of those.
