    Can anyone explain what the fuck is going on?

    Deion is pissing off a SWAC head coach. Said head coach will get over it or he won’t. Sanders has brought more attention to the SWAC than at any point since Air McNair was slingin’ it at Alcorn State.

    If this ridiculous conference wants to be taken seriously then drop the SWAC title game and have the conference champ go to the FCS playoffs instead of an absolutely pointless bowl game that no one watches unless they are there in person to see the bands perform.

  2. Chapman being put out to pasture is for the best. His body language when he comes in or is on the mound was that of someone that did not want to be out there as well as someone who is struggling to find a way to pitch without being completely dominant. The writing was on the wall for this to happen for several months now. I doubt he pitches again for anyone unless he fixes his mechanics amd adjusts his approach.

  3. I remember being at the ALDS against Cleveland in 2017 and Jay Bruce was in right field. I heard things that night that were on the one hand funny, while other stuff was just disturbing. This was all because the Mets would not trade him across-town and instead sent him to Cleveland. The entire inning Jay Bruce Sucks chant was tame, but it was all inning long and I joined in that one. I believe the fox broadcast picked up the chant from section 203. 
     

    Bruce finally turns and laughs after the end of the 8th. He was asked afterwards to repeat what he heard and he wouldn’t. It was just some of the worst and most awful things you can say to a person and he took it. For his part he didn’t hold a grudge and ended his career here in a short stint before injuries stopped him from playing. 
     

    I hope this series is fun to watch. I’m sure CC and his family will be out there since almost the entirety of his career was split between these two teams.

    everything is about money and ratings - but - this 3 game series bullshit needs to be abolished.  STL wins their division after 162 grueling games and it outed in a 3 game series. Too much playoff expansion, only have 1 WC team per league, no WC round and the next round needs to be 7 games.  Four teams per league is plenty enough. 

    Getting strong vibes that CLE beats NYY. 

    This was good for baseball. The sport had to expand the postseason to this amount. I hope the Division Series games are good. I have friends and co-workers that are fans of the Dodgers, Phils, Atlanta, Yanks and somehow one guy who wears a Padres hat to work each day. Playoff baseball is both unpredictable and cool. I’d love for the Yanks to get to the ALCS so I can fly my mother up to watch them, but if Cleveland wins it’s cool. That’d be great for their fanbase to get back to the ALCS.

    kind of baseball ....

     

    Once a week when he’s not on the road Seinfeld comes into eat breakfast where I serve at. It’s always with Colin Quinn, who is a really cool guy. They sit there and eat and drink coffee and tell stories for 2 or 3 hours before Seinfeld gets on his bicycle and heads out. 

  6. So I saw Cap giving the Flat Earth King the business for retweeting an Alex Jones conspiracy theory from TWENTY YEARS AGO. 
     

    I don’t care if the Lakers have another down year. Not trading for a mentally ill person that likes Alex Jones is the best thing from the entire Lakers off-season. The Nets implosion this year is going to be utterly spectacular thanks to having that guy on the roster.

    I am watching Smile. This is an exceedingly hard movie for me to watch. If you have difficulties with random loud screeching and screaming noises that come out of nowhere this is not the movie for you. I am going to try to make it to the end because I like Sophie Bacon, but this is a movie I will never watch again.

    My commentary about this movie is not whether it is good or not. It is just a warning to anyone who struggles with loud noise like I do.

    fuck off mets.  magic number to win the division (for the 5th straight year) is now 1.

    The Mets really are amazing. If they flameout in the playoffs I am definitely listening to WFAN the next day because it will be a day long meltdown. It would be one of the rare times that you would want Mike Francesa to still have a show!

    Yankee fan, Laker fan.  Let me guess. You’re also a Patriot fan and a Crimson Tide fan

     They negativity is pretty cool. I root for the Yankees because of my mother who has been a fan of theirs before the Astros or Rangers were playing ball. It is a way for us to talk sports and she enjoys seeing stuff from my trips to the games as well as when she comes up and we go. I’m sorry that you feel that you have to root for teams all from one geographic location. That is kind of a silly way to enjoy watching sports. I’m glad I have parents who did not indoctrinate me into rooting for their favorite team and just let me choose my own teams.
     

    The NFL I quit watching about a decade ago so I have no team there and I am very cool with that. I do not care about college sports outside of watching Gonzaga play basketball when I have free time.

    What are you going to win with next season?

    There is no guarantee next season. This year is just a season they need to get through and that’s it. The Lakers are a team where things can change quickly if they can add a reallly good 3rd best player to the roster.
     

    How that works out I do not know nor do I care. Either they win or they don’t. I love my guys in the Purple and Gold, but I have zero control over what they put on the court.

    More likely to implode, Brooklyn or LAL?

    Hard for the Purple and Gold implode when they are already a mess. I have been a die-hard fan for 35 years now, but I have zero expectations of anything from them. I had higher expectations from the 39 win 92-93 team that should’ve beaten the Suns in game five if not for an offensive goaltend than I do this roster. The Lakers were wise not to attempt to trade for World B Flat. Just get through this season and get back to trying to win next season.

    I don't care who you root for, this is fucking badass:

     

    Pretty cool that they were able to do this today. The longevity and ridiculous production from that trio is incredibly impressive to say the least. 

  13. Harrison Bader is just cool to watch and I feel like this is a guy you want long-term in Pinstripes. It’s like watching Gardner play, but with more range in the outfield. I would get this guy a long-term contract ASAP. He and Oswaldo Cabrera have been a nice injection of energy into the team down the stretch. 

  14. This should probably be Chapman’s last time on the mound in New York. He’s getting some Bronx Cheers for the occasional strikes he is throwing. Quite the fall from where he once was.

  15. If anyone hits a homer today they are going to have to hit a liner with how the wind is blowing in. Stanton might be the one guy who could rocket a liner out to left, but he has the day off.

  16. I went to a taping in June 2017. He was pretty cool honestly in-person. It took me a while to get his humor. I think what it was was how he laughed at his own jokes a lot early in his tenure. He found his groove though and he connects well with a younger demographic. His autobiography is a great read. How he made it to where he has from where he began at in life is pretty inspiring.

    For the people who do not like him I would say that no comedian will connect with everyone. I loved Jon Stewart, but not everyone does for whatever reason.
