The Red Sox obviously have a philosophical issue with paying top-of-the market prices for players over 30. We can agree or disagree, but fine...That's their philosophy.
BUT, if that is something you live by, you HAVE to be willing to pay top of the market for the under-30 crowd.
If you're unwilling to pay for Bregman AND unwilling to pay for Bichette, you're a dickless franchise in a top-10 market.
End of story.
Finn Wolfhard on the theatrical experience and Netflix buying Warner Bros
"There’s nothing like seeing a movie in a theater. It’s a communal experience and I do believe that if theaters go away, it’s not going to be as fun of a world. Going to the movies is something that makes you feel like you’re not alone, and when everything is condensed into one thing on your TV, it amplifies antisocial life"
"We’re at a huge transitional period for the industry. 'Stranger Things' is ending and Netflix is about to buy Warner Bros., and I don’t know what that’s going to look like. Consolidating and trying to have a monopoly on film is not going to work"
"Streaming is amazing and streaming should be able to have a place, but it shouldn’t be killing theaters"

Christian Bale spent 17 years & $22M quietly building a foster care village 👏
Christian Bale is close to finishing Together California, a $22M foster care village in Palmdale he’s worked on for nearly 17 years. The goal is simple but really important, keep foster siblings together, something that fails in about 75% of cases nationwide. Construction started in 2024, wraps in 2025, and families could move in by early 2026. Bale calls it his most important work.

The Dallas Cowboys are officially eliminated, which means they have now gone 30 years without making a Conference Championship Game.
Every other NFC team has made a CCG since 2010.

So, they’ll never sign a free agent of great significance ever again is what they’re telling you. You’re not being smart; you’re being cheap. And cheap teams don’t win championships in this league.
4 years ago today “You Belong With Me” was played for the first time at the dunk. We are in desperate need of a spark.
I think I speak for all friars fans when I say that I hope the AMP can bring the energy on Saturday.
The ending of Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) is one of the great emotional pivots in American comedy. The moment Neal pieces it together on the train and returns to find Del still waiting, the entire film reframes itself in a single shot.
Absolutely embarrassing that John Henry and the Red Sox are leaking to the media that they aren’t going to be a top of the league spending team and that they don’t want to operate at a financial loss.
Basically lying through the media that they operate at a loss.
Truly embarrassing
