One Big Thing

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

Instances of active players caught betting on their own team:
Pete Rose (MLB): Banned for life
8 White Sox players (MLB): Banned for life
Jontay Porter (NBA): Banned for life
Tucupita Marcano (MLB): Banned for life
Brendan Sorsby (college football): Suspended for 2 games

[John Kurtz @jlkurtz]

So Brendan Sorsby bet at least 40 times on his own team, while underage, and then paid people to make bets for him when he moved to a state where gambling is illegal.

Two game suspension.

Not a good precedent we're setting here, my friends.

College football has become a complete joke

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

They cannot keep Triolo on this roster much longer

Get Triolo off this roster

Embiid is so talented. He’s so impactful. The fake falling 97x a game is relentlessly irritating to watch.

NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the Biden administration’s blocked JetBlue–Spirit merger led to Spirit’s liquidation:

“This is not better for pricing. This is not better for competition. Actually, it’s worse.”

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

This clearly didn’t go the way Cutch wanted. Obviously his preference was to stay in PGH w his family. I understand the disappointment. But I’m not sure what’s so difficult about saying, “I was interested in staying, the team obviously wanted to go in a different direction. Disappointed, but understand it’s a business decision.” #Pirates & Cutch had a mutually-beneficial relationship when he came back. The team didn’t owe him more.

When Southside had Fathead's, Pittsburgh Steak Co., Mallorca, Nakama, Jack's, shows at Club Cafe, Mario's, The Smiling Moose etc -- that's the Carson Street I remember.
High times. All kinds of different people coexisting. Able to get along. A wonderful place. The best of times.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:

"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

@StoolGreenie Kind of hard to listen to honestly 😂
