Speaking of the Mets, Dead Lowrie is on the IL again. When can we just be done with him?

Not gonna lie, kinda surprised at 6146 being the stadium capacity lol. It never feels that big when I'm there. 

And the stadiums they play in are very tiny, so at best, there's only a few dozen people at a game? I just don't see the point. 

My big brain play 😭

That kind of culture starts at the top with Snyder. When I went to read it the article was behind a paywall, but getting details from other people who have the Post and it's rather damning. All the recent organizational departures make a lot of sense when put under this lens.

Since it's behind a paywall:

Yay Chase! Way back before my Jeff Gordon fanboy days, I used to root for Bill Elliott, so it's cool to see Chase win. 

Watching the race now. Number placements are kinda doo doo. I don't hate the underglow though. 

See? I was playing the long game. Big brain play. 

Sergio Mitre, who used to pitch for the Yankees, Cubs, and Marlins, has been arrested on suspicion of the rape and murder of his 2 y/o stepdaughter. Jesus christ.

Glad it's getting changed. Hopefully the name change goes over well.

Fuck Josh Hawley. You think Thabo Sefolosha or Sterling Brown would ever be caught putting a blue lives matter patch on their jerseys? I highly doubt it. And Hawley is playing victim on Twitter, stirring more drama than there needs to be. 

....did I just discover a new favorite sport?

Naya Rivera has been presumed dead after her 4 year old son was found alone in a boat after they had gone swimming in a lake. Sad news.

RIP Naya

I've seen some decent suggestions for a new team name for Washington Football. Someone on Twitter had tweeted graphics for a name change to Red Tails. I'll edit that in if I can find it. Pat McAffee's idea of DCFC (DC Football Club) is also not bad. Alternatively, since their home stadium is technically in Maryland, they could rebrand completely and make the new name based off of something to that end. 

I was actually hoping to have a legitimate discussion about the topic, but obviously he didn't have it in him. It would have been would have been interesting, at the least, to hear a "pro-slur" argument that didn't amount to "fuck those commies." My bad lol

Well, obviously that means you're pretty blind, then.

Even if most are offended I don't care

If you don't care, why are we having this conversation? This is unnecessary.

The poll also didn't prove that you're right, because the poll is largely skewed by under-representing Native Americans who live on reservations and is also wholly outdated. Furthermore, they only contacted people using landlines, and who the hell uses a landline anymore? You're leaving out a whole lot of answers by only reaching out this way. If you want a great source for an answer, how about the National Congress of American Indians? They despise the name. I'm not trying to be rude, but I would honestly suggest looking outside of your echochamber, because you're in the wrong about this one.

🤦‍♂️ why?

10 years, $450 million. Richest deal in sports history. Goddamn bro. 

In your data, you have a worker named "Jon Quasto" and a worker named "Jonny Loquasto." They are both the same person; Jon Quasto was his name under the NXT banner.

Seeing it in the sales now... I wonder what's going to happen with Chikara AAW now - especially since they're aiming for a console release.

I think they're planning on rebranding the game before it comes out. 

Also @Mr. Meacon Moneybags I saw you mention Super Mega Baseball 3. I have it for my switch. It's really good. I'd recommend it. 

You can probably just set Chikara to closed

So, I'm kind of a lapsed fan when it comes to NASCAR. Got really into when I was a kid because I a couple friends who ever into it, and I always try to at least be familiar with things my friends like. I really enjoyed it, rooted for Bill Elliott and Jeff Gordon. And then as I got older, I kinda fell out of it. Mostly because, as a brown boy, the NASCAR vibe didn't feel super inclusive to me. But I've been trying to get back into it again, since all one of my friends ever talks about is NASCAR, and I feel like the stuff they've been doing is really good, and might bring in a lot of new fans who hadn't considered NASCAR before. And NASCAR could benefit from the timing as well, considering there's not much competition in the sports world at the moment.
