I have long accepted that for reasons I simply cannot comprehend, the throw from the pitcher’s mound to second base is the most difficult one in baseball.

Why Sam Amick should have taken the day off
He didn’t foul because he isn’t a genius. He fouled because he’s too slow.
You’re absolutely right, though.
I just want to see LJ Cryer on the big playoff stage.
Kerr should have left Klay in that night he had 60 through 3.
Especially in the context of the stupid Florsheim oxfords story.
The guy you describe has a MUCH cooler haircut.
Counterpoint there is absolutely no bad way for Stanford to lose.
Go Bears.
Same here. I think that’s true for most of his constituents.

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it. On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned. Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.
What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right. "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.
I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:
Asked in a predraft interview what he liked to do when he wasn't playing basketball, Klay famously said: "I like to shoot."
The homophone absolutely makes this one.
What did you make French toast with on Saturday?
Passive voice, Jake.
Cast by whom, exactly?
An hour early!
Shannon stole that joke from Jesse Jackson, which would have been uncool a month ago and today is more like gross.
I dunno, the per-36 numbers there aren’t exactly jumping off the page.
Honestly that 7 point loss is Steve’s COTY case.
We all saw it coming. Kamala Harris and her boss made a bunch of decisions that facilitated it, is the difference between them and the rest of us.
Or the op-ed page.
It’s not, like, ha-ha funny.
I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.
Lularoe.
I think we agree? This roster was unlikely to succeed. It’ll be less likely to succeed next year.
Yeah I agree with that. I also think that team obviously needed to improve in the offseason (more than it did—check their record when Butler got hurt).
More to the point, I think this team is obviously worse than that one. Don’t you?
Yeah, they were good last year. The decision to mostly run it back made a certain kind of sense. But can you really say this team, plus Butler (a year older, coming back from a torn ACL in February at the earliest) and Curry (just a year older, a miracle in every possible way) is a contender?
