For all the people crying about why Congress is involved, and keep politics out. It's BS like this that forced us into a situation where the only option to fix all this stupidity is Congress .... which is sad.
Pat McAfee fired shots at Ryan Clark long before ESPN fired Clark.
Clark made a comment that kickers like McAfee are not "real" football players.
McAfee responded.
@jemelehill This is a silly argument because at the end of the day being the face of a league doesn’t mean anything. Nobody is taking anything away from A’ja here.
Mike Trout was the face of MLB before winning much. So was Shoehei.
In 2020, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence was John Ratcliffe, whom he handpicked. Ratcliffe is now the director of the CIA. If Trump is going to claim this intelligence was suppressed, the theory would thus be that Trump’s intelligence community, under Ratcliffe, had an opportunity to inform the public China was trying to hurt his election prospects and actively chose to claim the opposite. Trump then responded to these revelations by allowing the same person to lead the CIA and by softening his position against China. Alternatively, Trump could just be making all this up on the fly because he's still upset about losing 2020 to Biden. You can decide which seems more plausible.
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."
Dana has known this for years. That is why he has been so hesitant to put him on a card. But he gave the people what they wanted because McGregor is still a huge money maker.
He literally looked at his finger right before he threw that pitch. He just said, screw it im just going to groove a 91 mph sinker down mainstreet and see what happens. The blister issue is frustrating, but his mentality is so much worse
Annnnnd Nick Lodolo leaves the game after trainer Sean McQueeney comes out and Lodolo looks down at his left index finger. Came after leaving a pitch center-cut to Carson Kelly, who homered to open the sixth. 2-2 game.
Even when Derek Johnson was around he didnt have them develop a 3rd pitch. DJ is one of the most overrated pitching coaches in the game, and the Reds should have parted ways with him 2 years ago when you could see his philosophy was outdated and he was unwilling to adapt
Unfortunately the Reds don't have a pitching coach (don't ask about it) and ownership hasn't ponied up to stop the brain drain from the org.
So we'll see if it ever all truly comes together.
But man I can only imagine if HG & Burns started maximizing a full arsenal.
Reds #2 ranked prospect Steele Hall hit his 9th home run of the season last night for the ACL Reds!
The 18-year-old shortstop is now hitting .297/.397/.549 with 9 home runs, 22 stolen bases and a .946 OPS through his first 47 professional games.
Didn't every parent and coach bemoan the participation trophy Era? Now, all of a sudden it's about development over results because that's how "Europeans do it"
General thought…. Travel sports are so focused on games / tournaments… I know tons of people who are playing baseball every weekend. It’s crazy.
I wish coaches / programs would focus more on developmental training. I do think games are important but at what cost. Is my kid getting better practicing a few times a week and playing 6 games or is he getting better grinding with Great coaches who focus more on fundamentals and care less about tournaments.
It’s so competitive now so feel like there’s a rush to join teams , etc. I’m a just a big believer hard work wins and the cream eventually always rises to the top.
Soccer the same here ?
