this kind of dimwitted thinking is why baseball will be horse racing in 2050. i like his honesty and behind the scene on some front office things, but this is a braindead take. thankfully he has no power.
@DavidPSamson says MLB no longer needs radio: "We don't need baseball on radio anymore." The former Marlins president predicts on Nothing Personal that "radio will go the way of Kodak and Blockbuster." @JohnMamola has more. #MLB

A week ago sat on a panel and said that all friction isn't bad. The friction is sometimes to price you pay to live in a society together. It's just understanding which frictions to blot out versus which ones were put there for a good reason.
It's real pro-social v anti-social
Someone could probably write a book (if they haven’t already) about the cycle of technology productizing the removal of friction in the name of convenience only for us to discover that the friction was a load-bearing part of the social compact.

I don't really follow Oregon HS football since we don't have a team, but it is wild how many forfeits and how many antics there are. This is crazy to me.
🏈 FOOTBALL UPDATE 🏈
Stayton has forfeited its game scheduled for tomorrow night against No. 1 Cascade, adding another chapter to the rivalry between the two programs.
The decision follows offseason transfers of a few Stayton players to Cascade. While speculation has circulated about the reason for the forfeit, we have not confirmed what prompted the decision.

going back to 154 lets them reset the single season home run record back to 60, this is not an accident.
We all agree that trimming the schedule to 154 games sucks, right? The sport is built on so much history surrounding statistics, and I know it wasn’t always 162 games, but it’s been that way since the early ’60s. Every modern record is based on the 162 game schedule.

i do not understand why the PWHL is so dedicated to 1) not releasing its names 2) hiding its logos 3) expanding without nicknames

Only correct answer is Call My Name in 2004. Astounding there could be an underrated Prince track and yet... this is it.

I got mad that our HS District decided to stop B3 matches until QF because I hate the idea of ending some kids HS career on a coin toss. Doing it in an actual tournament with real implications? In Juniors its a time thing but...c'mon
Heresy time: @lavercup playing a first-to-ten tiebreak in lieu of a decisive set is something tennis ought to consider broadly. Said no fan today: “You know, I wish they would have played that out.” Plenty of entertainment. Plenty of tennis. And matches stayed in the 2:00 range.

worst part of media consolidation is the lack of local news coverage, but especially how much it's decimated local HS sports news desks everywhere. Deplorable and unacceptable.
There hasn't been a high school sports story posted on the @heraldleader website since Sept. 10. Not one score posted from Friday night football action. This is not schadenfreude from me. This is disgust. What a disservice to the community.

we have been doing this as volunteers for a long time but 1) it's not cheap to keep volunteer teams together doing free work forever 2) you need agency air cover 3) it's a slog even with AI 4) lots of statutory regs you have to contend with not all pdfs created equal
A real idea that someone should fund, or just volunteer and do: Governmental pdf freeing via LLM tools.
From personal experience, there is oodles of data that public sector agencies have but can't act on because it's locked in a million pdfs (or poorly formatted excels).

Kun mä joskus katon taaksepäin kauteen 2026, niin sanon vaan, että tän vuoden ViVe oli kohtalon joukkue. En oo ikinä nähny mitään tällasta. #pesis

I mean, I would've loved for them to sign a bunch of girls on 7-day contracts and just let them ball out, but...when your players are going to leave or the national team regardless of what you do, you only have two options.
They aren't making NHL money.
So the WNBA inexplicably halted their season (with real momentum BTW) to send everyone to the FIBA World Cup, then ended up with a really good France-USA Final happening today at…. 2PM ET against 8 NFL games + the Shelton/Zverev Final. Incredible stuff.

give him a mascot job if you have to, but he has to go. this didn't work out like last time, there were no expectations last time, the players were better and the heights were higher. this was a harder job, the challenge keeps getting harder.
time for a switch
