One of my favorite HOF resumes.

Agreed on all points.

I'm optimistic Acuna's winter ball running jag (coupled with the Antoan Richardson hiring) will means he'll get back to stealing bases. That Acuna + Schwarber is a great pairing. We'll done!

We just found out they have the bomb! And wait! It's a suitcase bomb!

This Yahoo-leaguer is torn: he's already OF-qualified and I fully appreciate his potential. Won't playing the field exacerbate the potential of another injury?

J-Rod at 14! Congratulations!

A great piece of moviegoing advice I got was to see this film at a matinee. That way, when I left the theater all depressed and suicidal, I'd see the Sun. And at least there'd be that to possibly keep me going.

I'm a teacher, and I listened to it. I can tell you that any coworker of mine whom I learned did something like this would forever be on the receiving end of my rage. Completely antithetical to why we do what we do.

๐Ÿšฉ Remembering ROBERT DUVALL
๐Ÿšฉ Remembering ROBERT DUVALL YouTube video by Darwin Pictures

Robert Duvall's death got me thinking again about Network and the role of today's media. So much Paddy Chayevsky's script is spot on, but this scene always stuck with me. Fifty years later, here we are. And as Howard Beale warned, "Woe is us."

I think you're right about "Say It Ain't So," but "Buddy Holly" is a close second.

@bluegal.bsky.social I couldn't bring myself to read David Brooks' final op-ed. Hoping to learn all about its depth and wisdom on tomorrow's podcast!

His "You're fired" speech to William Holden in Network is my personal favorite.

Amazing film. One of my favorites.

Agreed 100%. And any claim of "purity test" on this position is ABSOLUTE bullshit. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Apparently, Souzzi does. Several.

And...scene.

Exit, stage left to any future credibility of the NRA as well as Second Amendment "patriots" who will reference its corrupt, withered husk in future entanglements with "tyranny."

"The core of the problem in MLB is that the owners have never opened their books."

Bingo. Absolutely agree.

Yeah, I was going for ironic humor, but I missed. My bad.

If the baseball gods want to fix the game, they can do it by fixing TV revenue.

We'll never know until a single team dares to open its books to scrutiny.

Not yet, it's not. Once the lockout comes and we see a two-flank attack from the fans and the billionaire owners both decrying "competitive imbalance" we'll be closer.
