Traveled a million miles outside my comfort zone to create this cockamamie podcast. Accidentally peeked in on the download/listening numbers and I was floored lol. Thanks to everyone who gave The Fancestor a listen (or plans to)! [1/x] podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Aside from the grade-school level misunderstanding that correlation doesn't equal causation, my guy conveniently leaves out that MLB salaries increased less in this time because they were starting from a MUCH higher point than the NFL because the MLBPA has a strong union
The NFL instituted a salary cap for the 1994 season. Since 1993, the average NFL salary has increased 554% In MLB — with no cap, of course — salaries have increased 396% Don’t listen to what the MLBPA and its friends keep telling you

On paper, this is a terrific hire. More importantly, it's further indication that #athletics ownership is finally committed to rebuilding their analytics and player development infrastructure. Smith and Castro wouldn't leave their gigs in Boston and Milwaukee if they weren't
The Athletics are hiring Cam Castro away from the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers as their general manager under new president of baseball operations Taylor Smith, league sources tell The Athletic.

Wait, I was told no one wanted to work under #athletics owner John Fisher how can this be? And, he's from one of the smartest FOs in MLB? HOW CAN THIS BE

It would appear my “first black guy named Aaron to throw out the first pitch at #athletics game in Las Vegas” scheme has hit a snag
Aaron Ford will be Nevada’s first Black governor, NBC News projects.

I know there are still leftists on here doing a victory lap on Kamala Harris' 2024 defeat, but there were a lot of kids who were disheartened at their first voting experience two years ago and I hope, maybe - just maybe - tonight reinvigorates each and every one of them ✌🏾

Purged most of my social media feeds from bums who voted for that supremacist shitbag. Have a few lingering suspects, but don't have the juice to go thru their feeds and they've not posted anything political recently. I'll wait them out. Meanwhile, I won't deny them some me 🫡

If you guys have missed my pointless sports analysis, here's my latest Substack to that effect. It includes the story of an old man trying to seduce me at a Kraken game last week. Also, Kirk Cousins and lots of hot dogs. sillygooseboxscores.substack…

No one in California gives a single solitary shit about Texas or any other state. I cannot stress this enough

Half dozen people have tagged me or texted me the "report" from Jim Bowden that Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz have turned down long-term extensions from #athletics and I am *begging* these bums to learn ball. Hate the A's and their ownership all you want, but just...learn...ball

This is absurd lol. Ain’t no one dumb enough in 2026 to trade for a starting QB midseason. Especially an immobile dinosaur who lacks arm strength.
Kirk Cousins and the Baltimore Ravens? 🤔 If @RealTannenbaum were running the Ravens, he wouldn’t get off the phone until he got Kirk Cousins out of Vegas and brought him to Baltimore.

"You're the one who said you were smart" is disrespect at a level never achieved in texting previously
This is not new, it's from March 2023, but through the power of syncing and trying to restore my phone, this interaction was brought back into my life and I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THIS MAN TALKED AT ME THIS WAY. My goodness.

NFL Sunday on here is just y’all complaining about referees. Y’all should consider going up the street to get tacos, feel that 72°F (22°C) sunshine on your face, and maybe see the sea lions laying about on the beach. San Diego-specific, but I assume these things are everywhere

Referee tapping #RaiderNation coach Klint Kubiak on the shoulder, reminding him to call timeout as the play clock ticked down. Football is sometimes fun lol

Aikman has been “good, but not great” going back to his playing days. Dude overplayed his hand. Tale as old as time
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are in their 25th season of calling NFL games together, but after a tense argument in the SoFi Stadium TV booth, the pair's relationship has ruptured. It is clear ESPN has taken Buck’s side in the pending divorce, writes @AndrewMarchand. More on the unraveling at ESPN: nyti.ms/47MrUrI
