Oh man, he totally phoned in the last three seasons to get out of here
Marvin Harrison Jr. makes his first catch with the Texans… why does he already look more physical 😭

“So you spent $6 billion dollars on a baseball team?” “Yes, Dave.” “And you lost to the Brewers in the playoffs?” “That’s correct, Dave.”

Very blessed and thankful to be one of the 79! Thank you, @gritvanwinkle for being a joy to work with!
By the end of this year CJ will have published 79 books with 5 more coming in 2027. Needless to say, we had to revamp our books page to give it some organization and provide a page for each book. Enjoy: cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/b…

The absolute dumbest thing state and city officials ever did was woo the cheapest owner in the NFL to relocate here rather than properly wait for an expansion team. An expansion team that would’ve been named the Arizona Firebirds and made sense!

The craziest thing about this whole situation is that the Arizona Cardinals willingly let themselves be used like a Kmart layaway for the Houston Texans
There was a lot of confusion surrounding the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade from the #Cardinals to the #Texans. I joined @Realrclark25 and emptied my notebook to explain how it unfolded and what agreements the teams had made before Sunday’s games.

Harrison got quicker separation on Instagram than he did in the opposing secondaries.
Marvin Harrison Jr. already updated his Instagram bio.

*whispers* I think it's a great return and they were right to sell early (but it's the Cardinals and the agent stuff makes it look even more clear he wanted out and was sleepwalking this year so we'll see!)

Take me back! 🥲🥲🥲
On this date in 2023, the Arizona Diamondbacks completed their sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to the NLCS. 🧹

MLB spokesman Glen Caplin: “Returning to a 154-game schedule would allow us to introduce a weekly off day, which is good for player health, while also creating a new national broadcast window to showcase our most exciting teams and players. A shorter regular season unlocks making October even better for our fans—with fewer weekday afternoon games, a longer Division Series, and more opportunities to see the game’s best pitchers on the biggest stage. And allowing the top seeds to select their opponents in the first two rounds would create compelling storylines, intensify existing rivalries and create new ones.”

New conference just dropped
JD Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut the wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular that we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

What?? No! I want more games! 162 isn’t enough!!!
Major League Baseball proposed cutting the regular-season schedule from 162 games to 154 games in a bargaining session with the MLBPA today. Also part of its proposal: higher seeds in playoffs get to choose their opponents, and division series expand to seven games.
