Aight so the question is

Is there anyone who’d be willing to take a flier on a washed up, 6’1”, 180lbs, 20 year old third basemen who’s actually playing the best he ever has and can play middle infield and all 3 outfield spots comfortably and is learning 1st and catcher

Please

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

There’s an easier explanation than whether Mahomes is still good or not

[Bryce DeGroat @NFL_Convo]

I’m sorry but Patrick Mahomes is NOT worth a half-billion dollars

I get he’s one of the best QBs ever but he’s coming off an ACL injury and has not been the same player the last 3 years🤷‍♂️

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

Players that show up when they’re required to are allowed to rehab elsewhere because they’ll show up when they’re required to

[Grant Cohn @grantcohn]

Brandon Aiyuk had to rehab at the 49ers' facility, but Nick Bosa is allowed to rehab in Florida and Christian McCaffrey was allowed to rehab in Germany. Double standard.

“Hey you know this presidential candidate you hate? Yeah you’re gonna pretend to assassinate him and he’s gonna win the presidency because of it while you get your head blown off by .300 win-mag and your family gets nothing either”

Something someone would totally agree to

[Willie Ross Jr. Knee Deep @RossKneeDeep]

So, I'm watching a video on how fake the Trump shooting was. I didn't know this. But, they lowered an American flag on a crane into the backdrop and placed photographers in place for the perfect photo op.

I was always amazed at how six Secret Service agents couldn't keep a feeble old man from raising his head in defiance and pumping his fist into the air.

This is why I put nothing past what Trump will do to gain power and remain in power.

You think it was real?

[Zach Hicks @ZachHicks2]

Not even remotely worried about Alec Pierce’s ankle injury. He’ll be fine for week one and the story is being pumped up nationally because it’s June and we have nothing else to talk about

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

He said he was dealing with the ankle injury since 2024

Meaning he put up 1k yards and had his best career month with the injury at it’s literal worst

And now he’s gonna be fully healthy

The Jones contract is concerning but the Pierce contract is not remotely concerning

[Faux Peyton Manning @FeuxManning]

To recap for those who are just checking in:

We gave $165 million guaranteed to 2 mid tier guys who are both coming off career changing injuries.

Yay.

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

Little stiff but that’s what a brace is supposed to do

Looks better than the last video of him walking and certainly looks like he trusts the ankle currently

He’ll be fine, even if a little late to join camp

[James Boyd @RomeovilleKid]

#Colts WR Alec Pierce walking at practice. Brace on his surgically repaired left ankle.

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

He didn’t speed but it’s moot because he also didn’t beat the pace car out

[connor 🦇 @batstappen]

the way he didn’t get a penalty for speeding in the pit lane smh

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

Um

Yes?

That’s…that’s very much interference

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

Dalton Rushing was called for interference on this slide

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

Something something “salary cap” something something “competitive balance”

[DraftKings @DraftKings]

The Rams are really building a super team 🤯

Offense:
🐏 Matthew Stafford
🐏 Kyren Williams
🐏 Blake Corum
🐏 Puka Nacua
🐏 Davante Adams

Defense:
🐏 Myles Garrett
🐏 Trent McDuffie
🐏 Aaron Donald (TBD) 👀

How does anyone stop Los Angeles?!

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

Both

I think Riley is a much better QB than anyone wants to admit,(Houston week 18 proved that), and I also think Richardson has proven himself in the opposite direction

[Jebediah @itsJebediah]

Is Anthony Richardson just THAT bad or is Riley Leonard just THAT good?

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

I’d fall asleep watching the Knicks too

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

President Trump is asleep at Game 3.

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

The ring is the thing

[SleeperNFL @SleeperNFL]

Which career would you rather have?

Lamar Jackson:

2X MVP
3-5 Playoff Record
0 Super Bowl appearances

Sam Darnold:

0X MVP
3-1 Playoff Record
1 Super Bowl 💍

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

I’d blame Alcantara for this more than anything

Like yeah it’s a rough swing choice but why are you that far down the line on a liner

Rule 1 of baserunning is freeze on a liner, not run 30 feet further

[Sam Holtz @ceowildcard]

Alex Bregman comes up man on 1st and 3rd, 1-1 game with NO OUTS in the bottom of the 8th.

And he’s swinging first pitch on a ball way outside the zone for a weak line drive that doubles up Alcantara. 68 exit velocity on his hit. That is absolutely horrible #cubs

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

First time home owner grants exist

You also don’t need a 20% down payment

You can go all the way down to 3% on some mortgage types

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

My boomer uncle told me to just buy a house and stop renting.

I make $58,000 a year.

The cheapest house in my city is $380,000.

I’d need $76,000 for a 20% down payment.

I save $400 a month when everything goes right.

That’s 15 years of perfect months just to get to the front door.

No car repairs. No medical bills. No emergencies. No life.

Just saving.

He bought his first house at 29 with 3 months of salary.

Then told me I need better priorities.

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

We’ve had 2 people arrested for domestic abuse related charges I promise you those are worse

[FIRST ROUND MOCK @firstroundmock]

Nobody in the NFL has caused more division in their locker-room this offseason than Jaxson Dart.

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Stephen A. Smith says he doesn’t want a championship ring from the Knicks if they win a title

(h/t @awfulannouncing )

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

Jason Heyward, on an 8 year, $184m contract, was not the starting RF in 3 games of the *World Series*

He was benched for Chris Coghlan and Jorge Soler

In the WORLD SERIES

And I don’t even think Heyward is the worst contract in Cubs history, let alone Chicago

[Tyler Aki @TylerAki_]

Alex Bregman is the worst contract in Chicago sports history

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

It amazes me how we went through a global pandemic that forced social distancing and people still don’t know how to not do this

[Marcus Newling @MarcusNewling]

The membership rules are pretty clearly stated

Multiple places

[Indianapolis Colts @Colts]

AP mode😤
