First time I've watched the whole HR Derby in as long as I can remember. I loved the format. It was entertaining, and most importantly - and I can't emphasize this enough - not having Chris Berman screaming into the mic made it so much more enjoyable.
Who in the hell gave @espn the idea thag hockey fans like it when you change the camera angle every 15-30 seconds. Just leave it on the main side angle while the puck is moving. Its not that difficult.
Doug Eddings calling anything thrown towards home plate a strike at this point. Doesn't need to be close, just generally near home plate and its a strike.
There's people who legitimately don't want ABS because they like the fact that an incompetent human can make game-altering calls. They actually prefer something that is mostly right, versus something thats always right.
Now that you're no longer in my chain of command, fuck you for threatening my employment to get your bullshit vaccination. The irony of this post about public servants....
Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They are the lifeblood of our democracy.
Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.
In certain cases, some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.
General Milley served our nation for more than 40 years, serving in multiple command and leadership posts and deploying to some of the most dangerous parts of the world to protect and defend democracy. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he guided our Armed Forces through complex global security threats and strengthened our existing alliances while forging new ones.
For more than half a century, Dr. Fauci served our country. He saved countless lives by managing the government’s response to pressing health crises, including HIV/AIDS, as well as the Ebola and Zika viruses. During his tenure as my Chief Medical Advisor, he helped the country tackle a once-in-a-century pandemic. The United States is safer and healthier because of him.
On January 6, 2021, American democracy was tested when a mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a fair and free election by force and violence. In light of the significance of that day, Congress established the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol to investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes of the insurrection. The Select Committee fulfilled this mission with integrity and a commitment to discovering the truth. Rather than accept accountability, those who perpetrated the January 6th attack have taken every opportunity to undermine and intimidate those who participated in the Select Committee in an attempt to rewrite history, erase the stain of January 6th for partisan gain, and seek revenge, including by threatening criminal prosecutions.
I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing. Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong—and in fact have done the right thing—and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.
That is why I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.
@SeaTownsFinest1 He's fucking awful. He can't keep up with the pace of the game in big moments, can't judge the depth of a fly ball, gets completely off track with innocuous stories, and tries to make the moment about him and his call.
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.

@Tequilla_UW Deally solid breakdown. I have the Isles missing in the east with Detroit replacing them. Utah over Seattle in the West.

Comimg from the administration that forced me to get an experimental jab of chemicals or be terminated from my job, unable to provide for my family. #Dictator
Donald Trump’s Project 2025 would eliminate the independence of the Department of Justice.
That means Trump would have total control and unchecked legal power—and he has vowed to be a dictator on day one.
Let me be clear: That will never happen.
DNC — Far-left and pro-Palestine militants brought tools to cut apart the protective barrier. Similarly, in 2020, Antifa used tools to cut open the fence that was protecting the federal courthouse downtown. Video by @TimKennedyJr1:
The man shouting "mind your own damn business" literally set up a hotline so neighbors could rat each other out if they illegally stepped outside of their homes.
Joy Reid and Jen Psaki suggest that Biden bouncing back quick from COVID would be "exactly the same thing" as Trump surviving an assassination attempt.
This is a real thing that actually happened.
