    Eminem destroying him in a rap battle was the best thing that ever happened to him

    Pulling Bryan Woo while also deciding not to intentionally walk Springer while also bringing in Bazardo is a level of stupidity only the Mariners are capable of. We deserve to lose this game, just like we did in the 2001 ALCS. I’m sure Dan Wilson remembers that.

    The Struss 3 being overturned is awful. The league is embarrassing itself after a playoffs marred by dogshit officiating. #MIAvsBOS

    That taunting penalty is a joke. Every couple years the No Fun League rears its ugly head. It’s tone deaf stupidity that fans don’t want.

    Trying to select just 15 players for each All-Shore team is a painstaking process, but it is so cool to be able to highlight some players with incredible seasons in 2024! The depth and talent of the Shore is astonishing, these are the best of the best!
    The best of the best: Which players made it onto the 2024 All-Shore softball teams?

    So many problematic statements here. But the first is no, the U.S. did not recognize sovereignty since 1946. They supported a U.N. resolution in 1979 for dual recognition of the ROC and PRC. The vote lost, and the U.S. respected the results while supporting Taiwan sovereignty.

    my favorite part is how minimum wage would effectively become 200k a year so everyone everywhere would get taxed all their income

    So let’s get this straight: The Bears essentially traded a linebacker previously drafted 8th overall who was an all-pro caliber player for Chase Claypool and a 5th round pick. Worst run team in football.
