Kind of sums it all up nicely...

News reports indicate a Coyote swam across Alcatraz Bay! And he still couldn't catch the Roadrunner. F**K!

Both of these men have the nickname "Taco". One is a fat, bloated, despicable psychopath who is a national disgrace and international embarrassment. The other is a singer.

Beltran: 435 HR's, .279 BA, 2725 hits, 312 steals, 5155 OF putouts. Pinson: 256 HR's, .286 BA, 2757 hits, 305 steals, 5097 OF putouts.


Carlos Beltran was one of the greatest all around players in MLB history, and his election today to the HOF is richly deserved. Beltran's selection should bolster the case for Vada Pinson. With the exception of career home runs, their numbers are remarkably similar.

Donald Trump is filth. He is scum. The nation and the world has been forced to endure one year of this demented, morally degenerate, classless and moronic buffoon. Our nation must do better than this Garbage. What's more, we HAVE to do better.

NFL defensive PI penalty should be 10 yards and an automatic first down for the offense. That's it.


Now let's say later in the game another long pass occurs--50 plus yards. The receiver pushes the defender and offensive PI is called. Is the offense moved back 50 yards? NO. They lose a down and are penalized 10 yards. The rule is GROSSLY unfair and must be changed.


The Pass Interference rule is the biggest problem the NFL has right now, IMO. Let's develop a scenario: One team attempts a long pass down field--50 yards, let's say--the defender brushes the receiver and defensive PI I called. The ball is placed at the spot of the foul.


It took NBC a month to show the blatant push off on the Bears tying Touchdown. Referees are ruining the NFL and the League and networks don't have the guts to speak up.


Re tonight's Rams Bears telecast...what is wrong with the left eye of the female sideline reporter? It's creeping me out!


If the Bills want to know why they can't make the Super Bowl, that Josh Allen fumble stupidity at the end of the half is example number one.


Tony Romo aka Football Nostradamus, is REALLY on his game today!!!

In 2021, 22 and 23, Indiana football went 2-10, 4-8 and 3-9. With Curt Cignetti as Coach, they have gone 11-2 in 2024 and 15-0 this season. This is perhaps the most remarkable turnaround in all of college sports history.


Having worked for the Dodgers for 3 years and knowing their, um, "attitude", my guess is they probably tried to charge the Coyote for both admission and parking...


A Coyote roamed the stands during a guided tour of Dodger Stadium yesterday. Actually, the Coyote is a pitcher who the Dodgers analytics department claims strikes out 9 hitters per each pitching outing. So...that would make him a K-Nine...

When Donald Trump took office on January 20, 2025, the U.S. unemployment rate was 3.7%. It is now 4.4%. In 2025, the U.S. added 584,000 jobs; under Joe Biden in '23 and '24 we added 2.6 and 2.0 million jobs. Trump's job stats are the worst non pandemic stats in 16 years.


I was rooting for Miami, but that was definitely a penalty on the last play of the game.


recruited either Pitch, Catch or play SS in High School. WTF? Moniak was 1-1 as an OF. Torkelson was 1-1 as a 3B I believe. Harper was 1-1 as an OF. Bazzana was 1-1 as a 2B!
