We were living in Tallahassee during Bowden’s first years down there. What a turnaround for the program when he took over. I guess I’ve got a forever soft spot for Seminole football. Haven’t lived there in ages but I feel for the program today after they had the season they had and got ****ed over for the sake of keeping the SEC’s ass kissed.

I hope Michigan crushes Alabama. ****ing crushes them!!!

The ****ing media fretted over the FSU quarterback situation after their starter goes down. My takes is the team won two games w/o arguably their best player on the field. FSU got ****ed over and the SEC sux!!!

It’s a ****ing joke.

A new owner and GM.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame is planning to evaluate Andre Dawson’s request to change the cap on his Cooperstown plaque from the Montreal Expos to the Chicago Cubs. Dawson has long believed that Wrigley Field and the bright spotlight around the Cubs helped energize and extend his legendary career.

Kapler’s building quite a job portfolio at the MLB level. Interesting.

In NC you can do up to eight characters on personalized vehicle license plates, for a fee of course. I have been so tempted to get a plate that would read, OK BOOMER…provided it wasn’t already in use.

Saw him play several games with Low A Asheville several years ago when they were a Rockies affiliate. My immediate recall is that he hit well but his glove was an inconsistent. He was at SS then. Another Harris hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

Sonny Gray reportedly headed to St. Louis.

I’m optimistic that Gipson-Long can bring back what he had the last part of last season. He was a nice surprise.

The Tigers have extended their contract with Lakeland through 2044. Tiger Town lives.

Scuttle-bug is the Tigers promised him a locker right beside Ohtani’s.

I would also think that these high profile free agents are looking for teams that consistently make the playoffs and have a realistic shot at going deep into the playoffs. This would be a hard sell for Detroit right now.

What does Mark Gorosh say? 😁
-
When he had to stop throwing toward the end of last year I got a little concerned as well. Maybe he had gotten a little ahead of himself and there were some minor issues. Not a lot was said about it that I read. I still believe that if he is finally healthy, he can be as advertised out of Auburn. The issue, can he get to that point? Can’t wait for ST to see where he is on rehab/readiness.

I heard Harris is kicking the tires on Matt Boyd.

Rashida Tlaib Promoted a Fundraiser for Group Tied to Hamas, Taliban Baitulmaal gives financial support to families of Palestinian terrorists Matthew Foldi writing for FreeBeacon August 27, 2021 Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) on Wednesday shared a tweet that advertised a fundraiser for an organization with ties to Hamas and the Taliban. Tlaib, who has a long history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, retweeted a post from critical race theorist Khaled Beydoun that urged donations to Baitulmaal, a Texas-based nonprofit. Experts say Baitulmaal helps fundraise for Hamas and distributes aid to the "families of martyrs of the Palestinian people." And the group's leader, Mazen Mokhtar, has been accused of working with the Taliban and other terrorist groups. The retweet isn't the first time Tlaib expressed support for terrorists. Days after she became a congresswoman, the controversial Democrat hosted Abbas Hamideh, a pro-Hezbollah activist who has repeatedly compared Israelis to Nazis. She shared a post last year that included an anti-Semitic phrase frequently used by Palestinian terrorist groups that seek to destroy Israel. She subsequently unshared the post. Baitulmaal works closely with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a 2020 analysis by the Middle East Forum. The group, which received $10,000 in emergency coronavirus funding last year, frequently partners with Unlimited Friends Association for Social Development, a Palestinian group that describes itself as a "a social, developmental, educational NGO." The Unlimited Friends Association works with Baitulmaal to hand out cash to the families of Palestinian terrorists, according to the Middle East Forum. These donations complement the Palestinian Authority's formal "Pay to Slay" program, which has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinian terrorists. The Palestinian government this year paid $42,000 to the family of a Palestinian terrorist who stabbed two Israelis to death and wounded two more, including a two-year-old child. The association, which lists Baitulmaal on its website'spartners and donors page, is openly hostile towards Israel. The group's Facebook page contains references to "the filth of the most dirty Jews" and "Nazi Zionist jails." The association also partners with Islamic Relief, a group with which the State Department cut ties this year because of "anti-Semitism exhibited repeatedly" by its leaders. In 2004, federal agents in Connecticut investigatedMokhtar for running a website that "solicited funds for the Taliban and Chechen mujahideen." Mokhtar was not convicted. Three years later, he was arrested on a multi-count indictment for filing false tax returns. The lead prosecutor was former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R.). Baitulmaal also partners with West Bank-based Hamas organizations. The organization hosted a 2008 fundraiser for the Yazour Medical Clinic in Nablus, an offshoot of Hamas. One Palestinian newspaper reports that Baitulmaal and the Hamas offshoot have been working together "for years." Anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour last year hosted a fundraiser for Baitulmaal that raised tens of thousands of dollars. Tlaib and Baitulmaal did not respond to requests for comment.

“The Tigers are looking closely at the FA starting pitching market and checked in on Lance Lynn before he signed with the Cardinals.” A little front office fan bait.

The owners unanimously approve the A’s move to Vegas…as expected.

It’s been a tough several years for the Padres. They’re still yet to name a manager after Melvin’s move north.

Fisher’s permanent replacement at Florida State, Willie Taggart, only lasted into his second year there before being fired. To cover his remaining salary FSU had to pay him $18 million. Crazy $$$

Jimbo says he’s not as worried about social security funding issues now.
