I want to play in an anti analytics fantasy league where the categories are batting average, successful bunts, running out grounders to first, game winning RBIS, clutch singles, innings starters pitch after the 6th, etc. We could call the league THE ECKSTEIN FILES
MIKE TIRICO’S ALL-TIME GREAT OLYMPICS SIGN-OFF:
“All the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them, our country loves sports, it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that: you saw it in Team USA Hockey”
Pretty astounding that, in 2025, there isn't an option for fans at home to watch a live stream of every individual match at the Ryder Cup. Even a paid option. The Masters does this with all 18 holes. There are only 4 groups on the course at Bethpage Black.
I do think it’s funny that MLB found a loophole - death - to lift lifetime suspensions for gambling in an era where every game is plastered with sports betting ads. Nothing matters.
I’m old enough to remember that in 2022 the Nasdaq dropped 30% and the S&P 500 was down 20% and the media spent the year telling us that we weren’t in a recession and in fact the definition of a recession we had always used wasn’t actually correct.
