Wrigley Field opening day pyrotechnics were MUST see!
Cubs' owner, Tom Ricketts, talking to Craig Counsell before the game about the fireworks display they purchased for player introductions: I mean I legitmately laughed out loud when I saw this video circulating on Twitter yesterday. Did they buy these things on Temu? Wish? Was the guy from Joe Dirt the only firework sta...

Bob Uecker will call the home opener, with his schedule TBD after that. Cherish him. Treasure him.
So let's go back to the end of the 2023 season. The Brewers once again made slamming your hand in a car door seem preferable to playoff baseball as they got swept by the Diamondbacks. The next morning, I saw this on Twitter: I wasn't listening to the radio broadcast that night so I didn't hear this in real time, but th...

BetUS is searching for a Weiner Connoissuer for the summer.
Look, I see what BetUS is trying to do here. They're appealing to the lowest common denominator. Adolescent humor. They think if they post a job searching for a, 'Weiner Connoissuer,' that bloggers and podcasters and morning radio show hosts are going to push the article out because we have underdeveloped frontal lobes...

New NFL Kickoff Rules will mimic XFL kickoffs.
Total side note, the greatest XFL innovation of all time was their version of the coin flip: Today's XFL game is brought to you by the letter, 'C,' the letter, 'T,' and the letter, 'E.' ANYWAY, the NFL owners meetings are happening this week at the finest resort in Cedar Rapids. As a part owner of the Green Bay Packers...

Gambler bets on EVERY NCAA Tournament underdog to win in the first round, is up big in each of the last two years.
*DISCLAIMER*: This is going to be a more in-depth gambling blog. If you don't follow basic gambling terminology, it may read like Latin. I saw this floating around Twitter yesterday and I've been thinking about it every single hour since I watched it. I even went back and did the research on the last two seasons, and ...

Anthony Edwards threw down a dunk last night the likes of which these eyes have never seen before.
We've been over this on the podcast before but I just want to give some context to the title of this blog: I watch a LOT of basketball. Like an unhealthy amount of basketball. Some Saturdays in the fall, I'll do play-by-play for two college basketball games in the afternoon, come home and immediately turn on college ba...

Devin Williams out for the first 3 months of the season with stress fractures in his back.
Craig Counsell when he heard that Devin Williams needed a second opinion on his ailing back: KIDDING. I'm (80%) sure that Craig Counsell isn't celebrating an injury to one of his former players. Those Counsell memes that were rampaging through Brewer/Cub Twitter last week were gold, though. Welp, not an ideal way to st...

This 7-year old farmer is going to be the president of his 4-H chapter in NO time.
I picture this kid's spirit as this meme: Just the 70-ist 7 year-old I've ever seen. Some kids his age are on their tablets, some are playing Xbox, this little guy is only concerned about big beefy axles. Get him a glass of sweet tea and a front porch where he can stare off into space and reminisce about the good ol' d...

No Giannis, no Khris, Bucks still take down the Clippers at Fiserv. Related: Has Doc Rivers saved the Bucks?
Keeping in mind that we once saw Giannis' knee bend at a 90-degree angle the opposite way, and he was back playing in the Finals 6 days later, I will choose to believe that he's going to be fine in a few days.

Pat Murphy's first speech to his team as the manager has me ready to run through a brick wall.
YES. I'll be honest, before watching this video I wasn't sure what to expect from this year's Brewer team. I think the offense is better, but you lost quite a bit of front-line starting pitching, the bullpen is decent but your hometown manager jumped ship to coach your rival, there has been a LOT going. I could honestl...
