Also, if you're the mother of an NFL player and you want to steal a package from a neighbor of yours. . . 1) Make sure you're not within the viewing area of any security cameras, doorbell cameras, etc. 2) Don't wear one of your son's jerseys with the name "Momma Rice" on the back of it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/nfl-star-rashee-rice-mom-201500464.html

Four weeks into the season, the Minnesota Vikings have scored more touchdowns at MetLife Stadium than the Jets and the Giants combined. Minnesota - 4 Jets - 3 Giants - 0

My initial reply would have made a lot more sense if I could actually read.

When did Andy Dalton morph into a random Hemsworth brother?

Which was, of course, the game that gave us the greatest post-game press conference of all time. https://youtu.be/SNcBFZ26lcI?si=DmOgpVa0axe9m2yv

Another fun White Sox stat that I saw on Twitter/X: Record this year when trailing after six innings: 0-70 When trailing after seven innings: 0-86 When trailing after eight innings: 0-93

The AL Central is, collectively, 32 games under .500. Four of the five teams in the AL Central are currently over .500.

ESPN has also fired Samantha Ponder, citing "budget cuts." Doesn't seem like a great idea to fire two of your more prominent NFL voices a few weeks before the NFL season starts but what do I know?

Game Informer officially announces they're shutting down. https://twitter.com/gameinformer/status/1819399257071214854 Yet another mag from many of our formative gaming years bites the dust.

Since I'm not sure if anyone else posted it here already. https://youtu.be/y0ZoX4dBvwk?si=N-kJeG1RvMtCpTI_ The fact that the man managed to work "W.A.P." into a polka medley says that we're dealing with a level of musical genius that I can't even begin to fathom.

Angel Reeth put HAHD TAHHHHHHMES. . .on the WNBA, baby.

WNBA: "Well, we've been given a player that's been the hottest commodity in sports for months now and could bring our league to levels of popularity and relevance that we haven't seen in a long time. Just hope nobody says or does anything incredibly stupid or anything." Jemele Hill: "LEROYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY JENKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS" https://x.com/nypostsports/status/1792938271636341155 (Tried getting the Tweet to embed and it wouldn't, as is tradition.)

No, but one of the pilots did mention something about dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

It's a goddamn shame that Norm MacDonald isn't with us right now.

Embracer bought Gearbox Software three years ago for $1.3 billion. Today, they're selling it to Take Two Entertainment for $460. https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/flagging-megacorp-embracer-group-is-now-selling-off-gearbox-entertainment-to-take-two-for-dollar460-million/ I'm not a business expert or anything like that, but that seems bad.

I know Bobby Bonilla Day isn't until 1 July, but the Mets aren't the only ones still paying Bonilla. He has a second deferred contract with the Orioles that's paying him $500,000 every year until 2029. He's had this deal since 2004. So he hasn't just been getting $1 million every 1 July. . .he's been getting $1.5 million.

Pete Rose wishes he'd had the good sense to hire an interpreter.

The draft order has been changed to reflect this morning's trade between Houston and Minnesota, where Minnesota acquired the first-round pick that Houston received from Cleveland in the DeShaun Watson trade. Houston no longer has a first-round pick and Minnesota is now one of three teams that has two.

"Hey, so Roland is this huge dude that looks like he could bench press your car. Who should we get to play that role?" "Uhhh, I dunno, Kevin Hart?" Other than that, I thought they did okay with it.

Hey, it did it twice.

Stupid browser froze

Teaser trailer for NCAA Football '25 (or whatever EA is officially going to call it).

The Omega update has dropped and the update page now says that NMS is "free to play." https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/02/no-mans-sky-omega-update/ I don't know if "Omega" is meant to imply that this is their final update with Light No Fire coming along here eventually, but it's been eight years since launch so it wouldn't be entirely surprising.

The full first round draft order is now, officially, complete.
