    MW32, in which we’re all Crystal Palace fans

    Two VAR overturns in 3 minutes in the Old Firm match, one which gave Rangers a goal and one which took one away from them. So now we get 30 minutes of Old Firm play in which the ref has been totally neutered. This ought to go well.

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    He parks in Manhattan and then takes a cab.

    4.3 - A’s Kickin’

    Ale is the pettiest of the petit bourgeoisie.

    4.3 - A’s Kickin’

    If you’d offered me 5-5 at the start of this trip I’d have taken your arm off. Now that’s the worst-case scenario.

    Generative AI is amazing. "Brent Rooker"!

    3/29/24 - Red Sox at Mariners

    Seattle can't properly assemble an airplane, let alone a baseball team. 2-0 here we go.

    3/28/24 - Opening Day 2024 - Red Sox at Mariners

    Look, I was a fan of this team when back these motherfuckers were *bad*, both in terms of results and in terms of being owned and assembled by a racist failson. So, like, shit can get worse than this. It was only a couple of years ago when they gently snuck into the Yankees' bedroom and...

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    Someone should definitely tell Sparky that Berry is in a basement.

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    That could account for the pants, but it doesn't account for things like the Chavis jersey having misaligned numbers (unless the Nike specs are truly insane). What we have here appears to be a bad idea that, independently, has also been badly executed.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    I've only seen the first episode (and not really learned anything new), but they've done a good job starting the story in the right place with Bledsoe and a nice amount of background on the Pats, Kraft, and Bill. I don't think this will reveal a lot, but might be a good single-setting review of...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Plus interns of course don’t get benefits. So total comp for the full-time folks is still going to be higher even on a rate basis. But it’s a good sound bite by the union.

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    Up to 1 dead and 30 injured, now, with 3 in custody. Looks like the rally ended by the old/new train station/public space downtown, which is where the incident happened.

    Championship Weekend: Chiefs @ Ravens, Lions @ 49ers

    My daughter just correctly compared Harbaugh’s facial expressions to those of the Billerica’s U-12 girls soccer coach, and now that’s all I can see.

    Wild Winter Fun- January 2024 Transfer Window

    It is one of the non-PIF clubs, although I can’t imagine those clubs don’t take phone calls from the prince. If I read Eales’s comments correctly, though, it’s not even the fee that they care about. You book all of the profits from a sale in the year of the sale. But if you take that money and...

    Wild Winter Fun- January 2024 Transfer Window

    If they do, the new regime won't kick in until the season after next.
