Hometown team I’ve been watching my whole life makes it to the championship for the first time in my existence and tickets are $2000+ apiece. So much for taking my boys and making unforgettable memories. Thanks MLB!
Meanwhile, sports attendance is in decline and everyone is trying to figure out why.

That’s for County Stadium. Brats. Friday night fish fry’s. $4 cases of Old Mill. 6 months of brutal winters. Small towns like Fall Creek, Ashland, Beaver Dam and everywhere in between. Rob Deer. Gorman Thomas. Cecil Cooper. Bob Uecker. Yount & Molitor. Cheese curds. Ice cold Leinie’s. Bowling leagues at the age of 10.
I could go on forever.
Four more, boys. #thisismycrew
Fox gets (and deserves) a lot of grief for how they’ve handled this NLCS but they have been gang busters at finding the saddest and most depressed looking Dodgers fans in the stands.
Funny during the broadcast last night when the Dodgers were up, the go-to-commercial-slow-motion-clips were all of the Dodgers looking happy and celebrating.
Then, when the Dodgers were down, the go-to-commercial-slow-motion-clips were... all of the Dodgers looking sad and frustrated.
You'd have thought it was the Dodgers playing against the Dodgers.
A fun, easygoing family movie that everybody can enjoy.
Your daily reminder that they don't make movies like this anymore, and the world is worse off for it.
"Little Giants," starring Rick Moranis and Ed O'Neill, opened in theaters on this date in 1994!
BITE-SIZED FACT | The family comedy follows a group of misfit kids who form their own football team to challenge the town's established youth squad. #90s
I took a "Comedy in Film and Literature" class in college. It was the easiest, most pointless class I ever took.
We watched M*A*S*H and Borat. That's the only thing I remember of the entire semester.

People like teams that have never won a world series (perceived as underdogs).
People enjoy teams with exciting players that don't involve a roster filled of almost all stars. And stars paid billions.
The Brewers are a fun team, a fundamentally sound team that's great at getting it done. They have speed. Defense. Play small ball. With a hungry city for a championship.
Often fans get tired of the same teams being glazed on — specifically in the larger markets where it seems like journalists and media mouths starve for in the playoffs. It's not that those teams don't deserve recognition. It's that it is always overdone.
You should root for teams that pay players. But maybe not organizations that do whatever it takes to try and buy rings while under investigation for fraud.
The Brewers also have an extremely likable roster.
The Dodgers have an extremely unlikable team of smug elitists that believe they're entitled to championships every year. How dare any other team even try.
And possibly the most smug manager ever.
100%. Also, access.
NLCS - the first 2 games, anyway - were on local TV.
When sports are on local, they can just be “on”.
My kids don’t watch baseball. Neither does my wife. But they could walk past the TV, see the game, and get into it for a bit.
It was fun.
Later games in the series (along with virtually every game during the season) being on some streaming service or special cable channel means games can’t just be on because they’re on.
You lose casual watching, so you lose the ability to build fandom.
Can’t build fandom = can’t justify the cost of getting the games on TV each season.
Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?
Maybe start with the commercials.
Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports
Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.
You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.
Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.
“What would sell more computers?”
“I GOT IT: An old song from a musical and people twirly dancing in a coffee shop.”
“BRILLIANT!”
(This is why I watch old commercials from the ‘90s on YouTube- it’s astonishing just how much better/smarter marketing was than it is today.)
Have been using Claude Code to build a Plex app for my Apple TV for me and my family and it is CRAZY how good and easy it is.
Bring all the features we use to the front, add features Plex removed or never had, and none of the bloat.
And Claude uses my MacBook to push the updates to the TV automatically.
I love it so much.
Hard to argue. One of my favorite shows but once my wife started watching them with me and pointing out how awful she is all the time, it’s hard to ignore.
The one where she puts a pottery wheel in the garage and plays loud opera music while Tim tries to work on his car almost can’t be played in our house, my wife gets so mad.
Got it for Christmas that year. Wore the absolute hell out of it. Read it until it fell apart.
On October 3, 1997, “The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family,” an episode guide covering the first eight seasons of the show, was first published by @HarperCollins.
