Nothing with @Pirates will change until this changes. Not a competitive bone between the three of them. Meh to mid is good enough. #pirates #pittsburgh #mlb

This!
I was fired today. Well, laid off. "Budget cuts," my boss said. I packed my box. I was terrified. I have a mortgage. As I walked to the elevator, the CEO—the big boss who never talks to anyone—stepped in with me. "You're Sarah, right?" he asked. "Yes sir." "You stayed late last month to help the interns fix that presentation. You didn't ask for overtime." I nodded, surprised he knew. "I can't stop the layoffs," he said. "Board's decision. But I made a phone call." The elevator dinged. He handed me a card. "My friend runs a firm across town. He's expecting your call at 9 AM tomorrow. He needs a manager who cares about people. The pay is 20% higher." I stared at him. "Why?" "Because you held the door for the cleaning lady every single morning," he said. "I notice things." Character is what you do when you think no one is watching.

From @DMRussini Every Steelers wide receiver has combined for just a bit more receiving yardage (1,082) than Pittsburgh cast-off Pickens (1,054), by himself.
😳
However the drama in Pittsburgh was untenable.
This @wapo article on Paul Skenes and the @Pirates owner Bob Nutting is spot-on. Even being called out for being miserly in the WaPo won't embarrass Nutting. No pride. Not a competitive bone in his body. #selltheteam washingtonpost.com/sports/20…
Happy Labor Day to our partners in Las Vegas @IBT631 @Culinary226. Thanks for all you do to make @nssfshotshow a huge success. @NSSF #LaborDay2025 @FreemanCo @VenetianVegas @PalazzoVegas
