Seems low odds it was Iranian. But while tragic, and an example of why war is hell, it’s also a former military building, adjacent to an active base that I assume was targeted for its value, that still looks like a military building. It’s tragic but not intentional and not a war crime.

Not having a monarchy was a founding principle of the Islamic Republic. But here they are. Seems like all governments are just about the same. One party or person trying to collect power until they’ve established an authoritarian dynasty.

Another year of BJ Upton holding on to the crown of the Braves biggest free agent signing. There are only six teams that have not exceed the $75M BJ threshold for an external FA: Rays, Pirates, White Sox, A’s, Royals, and Marlins. All teams that should be relegated. The Dodgers are not the problem.

Which is dumb because their game is propping up dictators to rob your resources. If you try to argue China is somehow better than the US in terms of fairness or policy, then you are not a serious person.

If there’s a drone war in the future and the winner is determined by who has the largest number which is driven by access to rare Earth metals, is it worth it to ensure you have a supply equal to or greater than your enemy now? If you let folks be, it’s pretty obvious they choose China. Pretty...

The appeal of Greenland is the rare Earth metals. Every defense item requires a lot of them and China has an enormous share of them, including mines in Greenland.

Their ruling made sense. Since he was falling during the catch process he had to maintain through the fall. He didn’t. The Broncos defender then took possession since it never touched the ground.

It’s something like a $60M benefit, which isn’t nothing but it’s not everything either. Them just making a lot more than everybody else because of setting and being good at this is the bigger advantage. I’d rather lower the revenue sharing similarly than increase everybody else. They need to...

Can’t do it without collective bargaining. And if they get anywhere close to the split of pro leagues they will have to cut their AD in half. But I’m glad our AD was the first to say that they need to collectively bargain out loud.

This is something that gets said a lot and just isn’t true. Cars today have a lifespan of at least 13 years, double what it was in the 70s. And it has always been increasing.

This is a corporation. It’s not about winning, just making money. You don’t make money in FA.

Life advice, if you ever get a chance to speak at someone’s retirement or wedding or whatever, don’t actually tell them what you really think about them if it’s not good.

Players are right. Nice to hear Castellanos is the voice of calm. I’d listen to a salary cap if there was a salary floor, relegation, no profit sharing or whatever to force out the A’s and Pirates. And for the players, get rid of Arb years or something that gets them paid their worth during...

$50M is going to buy a lot of relievers if we decide to spend it and not put it into the Battery.

The points about the bullpen are good. But We shouldn’t complain about positional players aging badly. You either pay for bad aging years, or stay out of the FA or near FA game altogether. And I don’t think you compete without sprinkling in some well timed FAs. Totally agree that throwing good...
