Wife: "Why don't I just get you a Logitech webcam for your new Mac?"

Me: "Because I have DSLRs, GoPros, mics and a streaming switcher."

Wife and 16-year old son: "Do you have to overdo everything?"

Me: "Have you never met me?!"

I tried. Tried more than once. The WNBA is as unwatchable as the NBA.

Women trying to act like they are hard is not helping their cause. The draw to women’s basketball for me has been that they play team ball. It’s a truer version of the sport. This version: can’t watch it.

[Kells 🇺🇸🇦🇺 @KMBAussie]

This is an absolute shit show, and it will result in the WNBA losing fans.

You can't have such lopsided and clearly biased officiating like this, along with the aggressive tactics during both live and dead ball. The next commissioner has GOT to fix this.

@tmarsh8364 Which shop?? Help a brotha out!

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

@allthedogspleaz It’s terrible. Same thing on my social feeds. I constantly drop posts off my feeds as being not interested, hoping I can direct the algorithms, but it seems to not help at all.

Rays video and social teams crushed this hype video.

[Tampa Bay Rays @RaysBaseball]

For this team. For our fans. #ForTampaBay.

@TayVictoria8 Been so fun down here the last few days. Can't imagine what the noise level will be in The Trop with a crowd of 40k people. I'll be editing in a room along the third base line - I believe part of the Dream Finders Terrace - but I imagine the sound will shake the walls.

The atmosphere in St. Petersburg is buzzing just ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays 2026 MLB Postseason tonight. The last 2 days in Tropicana field setting up photo coverage has been great. Can't wait for Drew Rasmussen to throw the first pitch in front of a crowd expected to top 40k.

My buddy Will Vragovic and I set up and networked remote still cameras using a new app from Canon. I cannot wait to see what we get tonight in Game 1 of the ALDS series between the Tampa Bay Rays and that team a lot of people seem to like from somewhere up northeast.

Ben doing it for decades without the money.

Send me this offer and plan on writing a check.

[A Finance Guy’s Ex-Wife @WifeFinance]

You’re offered:

$1,000,000 salary for ONE year.

But you have to work:

36 hours/week
Only 2 weeks paid vacations
Every other weekend required
Fully remote

After exactly one year, you’re done.

Are you sacrificing one year of your life for the money?

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

@jkennyOPS Exactly. Some of those teams are entering that series on their 4 or 5 starter and almost no hope before the series even starts. Just stupid.

If you’re going to do that to these teams then go back to one Wildcard team per league and have a longer DS.

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

Will be making my first trip to NYC next week. Won’t be a lot of time for seeing sights but I am hoping to swing by B&H Photo if possible. Otherwise, I’ll be spending a fair amount of time at a certain ballpark in the Bronx.

But first …

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

@tmarsh8364 FALSE!

His pièce de résistance is Big Trouble in Little China

It’s not even close.

You’ll have to pardon me if I don’t feel bad for the Chiefs fans feeling like they’re getting jobbed by the refs.

Nobody has been the beneficiary of more questionable calls/non-calls than KC in the last 5-ish years.

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

@joehenry77 @Vicky_Jacobsen @BishopLuers @JGfortwayne @BLKnights_AD Reporters don’t write the headlines. And honestly, isn’t calling for someone’s job over a minor mistake a bit aggressive?

@SniderFB Congratulations on opening your new home. I wish my cameras and I could've been there. Imma put in an order for y'al to host some playoff games there this season so I can make out.

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

@notamused46 Take that and the powerbomb they dropped on another Fort Wayne team last week and those fellas from the east side of Noble might just be the real deal this year.

[Not Your Average Chad @TheChadRyan]

@TayVictoria8 I was there.
