Happy 47th birthday, Ed Reed!
Reed is the only player in #NFL history to score TDs via INT, fumble recovery, blocked punt, and punt return.
He's also holds the record for the most career multi-INT games with 12.
Can’t help but think what might’ve been if Mike Elias wasn’t involved in the daily lineups and the managing of this team.
If we had a guy like Buck in the dugout someone who actually played his best players every damn day instead of running matchup charts, rest days, and platoon math like it’s a lab experiment this club would look a lot different right now.
Buck didn’t need a spreadsheet to tell him who was rolling that week belonged in the lineup. He put the guys out there who could play, held them accountable, and let them figure it out. The computer nerds treat baseball like a video game and wonder why the clubhouse feels lifeless and the results keep stalling.
Elias built a talented core. Credit where it’s due. But the front office has never trusted a real baseball man to run the game on the field. First-time managers who nod along, lineups that look like they’re designed in a conference room, and another September where we’re talking about “what if” instead of October.
The nerds with their computers are ruining baseball. Give me a manager who still believes in the smell of the grass and the guy who’s hot right now over the projected wOBA vs. a lefty on a Thursday

This kid’s talent level is INSANE.
Holy shit.
He’s playing both parts of one of the most challenging guitar parts of all time - Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing” - and making it look effortless 👀
Pretty cool, man.
"Sounds of Seattle" 1991, festival gratuito pagado por el ayuntamiento para publicitar el talento local. Pearl Jam cierran el concierto a tres días de publicar su primer álbum "Ten" y a un mes de que saliera el "Nevermind" de Nirvana que cambiaría la industria musical de un día para otro.
"Ten" no cuajó en un primer momento tras su lanzamiento y tuvieron que pasar ocho meses hasta que la fuerza de arrastre de "Smells Like Teen Spirit" —y el repentino interés hacia otras bandas grunges por parte de la MTV—, alzaran al icónico álbum al número dos de las listas estadounidenses.
Este fue el último momento en que Pearl Jam no fueron nadie. Tocando en su ciudad, para una mezcla de fans tempraneros del grupo y paisanos que pasaban por ahí y no tenían nada mejor que hacer.
Documentazo.
3 years ago today, Pearl Jam mercifully completed their Europe tour. With multiple cancellations, things felt cursed. "NAIS" opened for the first time since Cardiff '00. But Mike letting off steam resonated most. #tfh
