Maybe he’ll be busted to UN delegate.

Man, do I ever not miss those days.

I don’t know who the hell Gabe Lacques is—I suspect he’s a general sports reporter whose turn it is to be rotated to the baseball beat—but I can't argue with his conclusions.

Ain’t gonna lie, I’m a little scared of this one. They’re both nuclear states and I don’t know how strong their incentive for restraint is.

Now that games are only two and a half hours, that’s totally doable. After all, you work an eight-hour day every day, right?

I don't think he would have any idea. I think all he would "know" is that hockey = Canada.

We are in the court of public opinion here, not a court of law. There are different standards here.

Maybe the "different direction" will entail Fanduel gambling podcast hosts pulling double-duty by syndicating in-studio broadcasts during games for their RSN's nine teams from a centralized studio in New York. Or, "better" yet, from Vegas.

Remember this when McStinky ends up under 1.0 WAR for the season ... 😉

DH every day. 😉

I wouldn't say Skubal is completely ignorant of every aspect of negotiating a free agent contract, but I doubt that he's driving Boras throughout the negotiations. Most players are probably smart enough to know what they want as bottom line points and communicate those to agents like Boras, but not only do I doubt that players are savvy about the minute intricacies attended to evaluating competing proposals, I would bet that Boras is very good about leading players away from requests he views as suboptimal or even potentially destructive to careers, both theirs and his. I don't think Boras became the best negotiator in the game by taking orders from players like a restaurant waiter.

I think football is playing far less in terrible weather. They play in cold and some snow, but I don't think they play in slop because of safety reasons (e.g., ligament tears when slipping).

Been there. Twice. You have my empathy.

Yup.

I think you're right on about the clearing of the constitutional hurdle beforehand. I was building on the premise in your post of Trump vs Obama in November 2028.

Ooh ooh ooh ... let me try: Rand Paul is a motherdicker. Yup—works a treat!

I think that Rand Paul is in the Republican Party, but he is not of the Republican Party

TBF, a large portion of Trump voters do want this and are enjoying it tremendously, probably because librul tears or some such rot.

The flaw in this logic is the assumption that 100% of people who did not vote plus100% of people ineligible to vote want what we are currently getting.

If DOGE were truly concerned about big wastes of money, they could tell DJT that running a prison on an island is exactly one of those.

He wants this only because he thinks it is maximally cruel.

This one is easy: if Trump "runs" for a third term and wins, he stays in office Putin-style, and no one can say **** to stop it; and if Obama runs for a third term against him and wins, the Trump government will refuse to vacate because they'll claim Obama's victory violates the Constitution, every single constitutional scholar and jurist will agree, an actual constitutional crisis will ensue, Trump stays in office Putin-style, and no one can say **** to stop it.

True to a point, since I think he is highly resentful that he even needed due process for any reason.

I agree with all this, although I would only say that although it's true Boras works for Skubal, I think it's unlikely he's going to meddle much with what Boras does, or even provide firm guidance for what should be negotiated by Boras, who's been through this rodeo since way before Skubal was born so he knows exactly how this works, and Skubal has little if any idea about that. I think it's most likely that Boras drives the negotiation process 100%, and his clients' involvement is limited to following Boras's recommendation on whether to accept or reject any offer he presents to the player.
