Talking with a group of women last year. The topic of automatic dealbreakers with dating comes up. “He drives a Tesla truck” was a unanimous dealbreaker. Shame to lose such an easy way to weed out idiots when dating.

@TheDemocrats, congrats on the victory. Time to channel the Seahawks’ 2025 postseason Dark Side defense.

I’m a Cubs fan but … not wrong.
I told you all that the Brewers closed the cursed Cubs portal

A+ unintentional trolling of a sports rival.
The @Brewers used Chicago’s Big Bus Tours buses for the parade and now they’re driving around Chicago doing tours with the wraps still on! #WonOurWay

Eli Manning. He’s been there, done that. Current player: Caleb Williams.
You can’t say Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Montana, or Peyton Manning. Super Bowl. Down 6 with one minute left and the ball on your own 20-yard line. Name a quarterback you’re trusting to lead the game-winning drive.

@kcginger13 Sums it up perfectly.
The NFL problem goes beyond DV, r@cism, & other abuse. NFL has an accountability & addiction issue. Gambling has ruined the game. Ads everywhere. Celebs & teams pushing it. It’s not a FB game anymore, it’s addiction. NFL was already $ hungry. The players don’t matter. They’re the ends to a bottom line. It doesn’t matter what illegal activity or if health/life is in danger. If they can help the team win, it’s ok because that brings in $. Money for the NFL, the teams, and the addicted fans. Of *course* the addicted fans want the players to play, they want $. No accountability from the top down. It applies to playing surfaces, officiating, reporting, all of it. It’s toxic and I’m heartbroken for the game that I’ve loved for decades.

Ten-year-old me could have told researchers this. Being smart and a girl isn’t an advantage. Growing up and realizing being smart and a woman is also not an advantage was brutal.
Men may admire intelligent women in principle, yet respond differently when confronted with their intelligence in person. As I told @JosieCox_NYC, it is another way women are considered 'never quite right' at work. fastcompany.com/91630773/the…

Posting you’re upset about Tucker is meaningless if not combined with: Unfollow the Chiefs on social media. Do not watch their games. Do not wear red on Friday or game days. Do not buy any team-related products. Teams only care when a decision affects their bottom line.

Signing a guy with a history of sexual violence is bad enough. Signing him during domestic violence awareness month somehow makes it worse. But hey, Chiefs still have a few days in October to sign Tyreek and trade for Watson and go all-in on highlighting the worst of the NFL.

Same NFL GM will later be mystified why the league has trouble keeping female fans.
The Justin Tucker signing makes me wonder what goes through an NFL GM‘s mind when they make decisions like this. On one hand, you’re saying that winning is more important than anything, but at the same time you’re introducing a distraction into the ecosystem of your football team.

Wisconsin sports fans versus Scottish sports fans in a beer drinking contest would possibly wipe out the beer supply in multiple countries.
I love that the Brewers' front office drank so much on their first night in Tampa that the hotel bar changed their hours to accommodate them on the second night.

Hey, remember when Pete Rose destroyed his legacy with gambling, and everyone agreed it was sad but necessary?
An award-winning ESPN producer resigned after 24 years over the network's embrace of sports betting: “I’m not going to work for a gambling company and have blood on my hands.” cjr.org/the-interview/nicole…

Adding: If a woman turns you down, be polite. Don’t call her names or harass her.
Attention Young Men: I am surrounded by 20 year old girls in my life that are smart, capable, hard working and cute. Nobody is dating them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don’t get it. Step 1: Stop playing video games Step 2: Head to great clips and get that lettuce cleaned up Step 3: Hit a shower (when dating hygiene is critical) Step 4: Go clean your car Step 5: Sign up for a yoga class Step 6: Go to the yoga class Step 7: Ask a cute for her phone number at yoga class (yes you can meet girls IRL and not just on the apps - 10/10 the Dirt Dog highly recommends) Step 8: Follow up within 2 days with a phone call and ask them out for this coming weekend Friday or Saturday night. Step 9: IMPORTANT - come up with a good game plane for date night. Get a dinner reservation, get an activity planned. Let them know in advance what you are doing so they can dress appropriately. I know you are gunna roll off the couch and head to date night, but they are not. They are going to stress about what to wear and call at least 6 different people on FaceTime to ask their opinion. Step 10: I highly recommend you bring flowers to the door step. I’m not covering that you go to the doorstep, because if you don’t do that you have no hope here. Women want men to date them. You don’t need to break the bank on flowers. Head to Trader Joe’s. Grab 2 different kinds of flowers. If you don’t know what matches find the closest looking lady to your mom at TJ’s and ask her. Wrap the 2 flowers into 1 bouquet with paper. Bonus Points you can cut open a TJ bag and use that as the paper. Step 11: Be a gentleman on the date. She isn’t there to hear your life story. Ask her about her. For every 1 question you answer, ask her 3. Open Doors, pay for the meal, be polite. Provided you follow most of this guideline you are highly likely to get yourself an opportunity for date number 2. Keep going until you find someone that you can’t imagine not being around all the time. That’s when you have found a good one for you. My life is complete with my wife as my companion. I wish you the same fortune in life. Happy Hunting.

Stuff like this is why the average person is more and more fed up with technology. Don’t need my washer to be smart. Don’t need an IMAX screen on my dashboard.

Food for thought, Chiefs fans: When Julio Urias committed domestic assault, Dodgers fans turned on him. Despite how much he contributed to the team, Dodgers fans made clear they wouldn’t support domestic abuse. Full stop.

Both my teams having solid RBs is so nice.
Bears RBs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are the first teammates in franchise history to surpass 300+ rushing yards through the first four weeks of the 2026 NFL season. They’re also the first Bears RB duo since Walter Payton and Roland Harper (1978) to each accumulate over 200 rushing yards in the opening four games. 👀 Rushing attack is on a different level this year. via @kfishbain

@Pacers and @IndianaFever are in the heart of basketball country. Their fans know basketball, but I’ve always found Indy fans to be friendly (even to opposing teams’ fans). The @WNBA continuing to allow/support one of its best fanbases to be dragged is ridiculous.
This is an unequivocally false statement. Players inside and outside the organization have repeatedly issued complaints with the Fever Fanbase. While it’s not all Indy fans, it’s certainly a trend. To say the attacks have “no basis in reality” is disingenuous.

The longer I watch sports, the more I notice how many GOAT athletes were not top recruits or faced other setbacks early on. Mahomes, both Kelces, Brady, Edelman, even Michael Jordan.
I remember one of my friends from college telling me there was a kid at their smallish high school that was the best football player he had ever seen and he just didn’t have bigger offers because of baseball. I was like, yeah whatever man. Anyway, that was Patrick Mahomes.

“What? Doesn’t every coach have three guys who could start at QB?” is a top-tier power play. I love Chicago’s mad scientist.
Ben Johnson is not letting on who he will at start at quarterback Sunday: “We have 3 guys. We will play the player that gives us the best chance to win.” Caleb is getting better but did not participate in the walk through today.
