I'm convinced the sports gods hate me!
Oh my fucking god no.

There has never been a 16-game NFL week where every game was won by a different number of points, so I know what I'm rooting for tonight. Post-merger weeks with different scoring margins for every game: W7 2025 (15 games); W2 1976 (14); W9 1973 (13); W7 1997 (12); W4 1992 (11)
Each game so far this week was won by a different number of points: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 22, and 24.

Covering PA state government has really aged you @TomLehmanWGAL! You have golf takes now?
NEW: Asked Tom Lehman what his policy would be toward LIV players if they wanted to return to @PGATOUR. In a chat for @Skratch and the pod he said they would come back with “no status whatsoever” and get in line “behind the Tour School and you start at the bottom of the barrel.” “Or better yet send them to Korn Ferry Tour.” For them “to leave and just come back and play at any point is just wrong. Totally against that…I think that’s a terrible idea to let the guys who were not loyal to the PGA Tour leave and just walk back with nothing but a slap on the wrist, and then a let’s go boys. I think that’s just wrong. “Start over, earn your way back. That’s what I would do.” Strong opinion from @championstour star.

Me to my kids in the middle of this Rocky marathon on TV right now.
Rory McIlroy says "shut the fuck up" and points a fan out to security because the fan yelled "USA" after one of McIlroy's bad shots

RIP to a legend. Between working nights and commuting to and from work, John and his entertaining way of calling a game made it more interesting. He called games in his own special way. He will be missed.
We are devastated to hear about the passing of John Sterling, a WFAN and Yankees radio icon whose voice was synonymous with an entire generation of Yankee fandom. Rest in peace, John ❤️

The 1992-93 offseason when George was banned from baseball, and serving his suspension? He was reinstated in March 1993. Either Bonds is lying, or George broke the rules.
Barry Bonds just told an interesting story on the broadcast. He said George Steinbrenner told him the Yankees would give him the money he wanted, but only if he signed the contract by 2 p.m. Bonds decided to go back to San Francisco. This would've been the 1992-93 offseason.

So, that 8:05 first pitch was just a suggestion.

Just like when I play MLB The Show.
Aaron Judge drives in Bobby Witt Jr. and Bryce Harper. Just like that Team USA has a 2-0 lead

Fantastic game! Amazing performance by Hellebuyck in net! He's the reason why USA won gold. Jack Hughes took a lot of crap for his play in Four Nations last year. Redemption is sweet for him.

What a move by Keller! Great goal!

That was a great tip by Knight in front!

That shot by Quinn Hughes!!! I'm glad it happened during a break, I didn't want to yell while I was on the air.

Not only a Post legend, but a legend in hockey media. Always a must read! I had the pleasure of meeting Larry during the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals while I was still in college, and he treated this rookie reporter like a veteran on the beat. I'll always treasure that. RIP
RIP Brooksie: Larry Brooks, Post legend and Hall of Fame hockey writer, dead at 75 trib.al/LGUkPxE

Ohtani was on such a heater last night that on top of his 3 HRs and 10 Ks, he probably had Louisville ML and UNC +7.5.

To be fair, he couldn't hit for 6 months this season.
Volpe underwent left shoulder surgery and can’t hit for 4 months and can’t dive for 6 months. While Boone said Volpe could be delayed to start the 2026 season, he still considers him the starting SS.

If Disney World is the happiest place on Earth, the press box at @XMobileArena right now is the opposite.
