Hitting the playoff game tying 3 to force OT in the same game you threw an alley oop to your literal son is more impressive in and of itself than 6 rings.
It's Tuesday.
Everyone Trump is at war with this week thus far:
Iran.
The Pope.
The Catholic Church.
Riley Gaines.
Tucker Carlson.
Alex Jones.
His approval polls.
The PR guy from Door Dash.
The medical licensing board for practicing without a licence.
Have I left anyone out?
Voter fraud is already illegal. And incredibly rare.
The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud.
This isn't a widespread issue like Republicans want you to think—they just want to appease the election-denier in the Oval Office.
Spurs are 10-4 without Wemby btw
OKC is 8-4 without Shai btw (5-1 last year)
Denver is 10-6 without Jokic btw
But I’m supposed to believe the Lakers being 9-2 without their number 3 is the biggest deal on the planet

Saints 2025 Cap (97M OVER projected cap):
Carr: 51M on, 60M if cut, 41M if traded
Hill: 17M on, 17M if cut/traded
Ramczyk: 29M on, 23M if cut/traded
Jordan: 20M on, 23M if cut/traded
So those 4 players, you don't create any cap savings.
Kamara: 28M on, 10M if cut
Lattimore: 31M on, 20M if cut/traded
So those 2 players are gone, but it doesn't meaningfully solve any problems.
Just to be cap compliant they'll have to restructure deals of players that they don't even want anymore.
The absolute best case scenario is that by 2027 they'll have a clean cap sheet. But this year, next year AND 2026 are already shot... and some of us have been warning fans that this has been coming for years, and sycophants who "cover" the team have sworn the national media "just doesn't get it."
We did, we were right, and now the Saints awesome fan base is going to be in the wilderness for years and years.
Here is your primer for every scenario that can happen in the National League today and the outcome. Currently, a Mets-Braves doubleheader is scheduled for Atlanta on Monday. Important to note: It’s unlikely that a game Monday that would affect seeding only would be played, though MLB still has yet to make that official, according to sources.
Scenario 1: Braves win, Mets win, Diamondbacks win
Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win the first game, they are in — and would be tied with Atlanta in record and head-to-head. The likelihood is they would not play the second game, as it would be for seeding purposes only. If the Mets lose Game 1 and win Game 2, they are in. If not, the Diamondbacks are in
Scenario 2: Braves win, Mets win, Diamondbacks lose
Outcome: Braves are in and play San Diego on Tuesday. Mets are in and play Milwaukee on Tuesday. Diamondbacks are out. No doubleheader Monday.
Scenario 3: Braves win, Mets lose, Diamondbacks win
Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win both doubleheader games, they are in. If the Mets lose either game, Diamondbacks are in.
Scenario 4: Braves win, Mets lose, Diamondbacks lose
Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win either game, they are in. If they lose both, the Diamondbacks are in.
Scenario 5: Braves lose, Mets win, Diamondbacks win
Outcome: Both games will be played Monday. The winner of Game 1 is in. If the loser of Game 1 wins Game 2, it is in as well. If a team is swept, it is out and the Diamondbacks are in.
Scenario 6: Braves lose, Mets wins, Diamondbacks lose
Outcome: Braves are in and play San Diego on Tuesday. Mets are in and play Milwaukee on Tuesday. Diamondbacks are out. No doubleheader Monday.
Scenario 7: Braves lose, Mets lose, Diamondbacks win
Outcome: Diamondbacks are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Braves win either game, they are in. If the Mets win both doubleheader games, they are in and would face San Diego.
Scenario 8: Braves lose, Mets lose, Diamondbacks lose
Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win either game, they are in. If they lose both, the Diamondbacks are in.
The upshot: The Braves are in a very good position. The Mets control their own destiny. And the Diamondbacks need quite a bit of help.
