I love this team, but I do miss the vibes. This is true about all sports for me, teams are more fun to support when they appear to be enjoying the fact that they're playing a children's game for a living.

Lying in bed, shopping while stoned. I just dropped $200 on a Brian Dawkins jersey. #GoBirds
My primary fantasy league that is in its 31st season, competes to reach the Bernie Bowl for the right to take home the Bernie Kosar Memorial Trophy. I'm the reigning champ.
How bout dem Cowboys? Time to drag out those tapes of when you were relevant. Careful though, that analog shit wears out with over use. #GoBirds #EAGLES #DakSpitFirst
Gimme Bo Wulf, Vinny Curry, Les Bowen, and I can suffer through Jaime Lynch.
I've missed you old friend
Great British Bake-off is back! Thank fucking christ.
Better than the Go Phils version. I'm not wearing anything with fucking Dr Phil on it.
Savinho. Always Savinho. And maybe that Vinicius fella, he seems pretty OK.
He's about to throw mace windu out a window.
People love to say x didn't happen 10 years. Focus on players over teams is a function of fantasy sports which really started to blow up 30-35 years ago. But also, who cares? The Eagles sell out every game, i don't think they sweat kids in Philly wearing Lamar jerseys.
The most common misconception about the average wrestler (as someone who worked in the indy scene as a commentator) is that modern workers especially, tend to be nerds and theater kids who discovered the gym at some point.
Yes, but also, fuck Pat's and everything about it.
I mean, within hours of this latest school shooting, bug eyed goblin Kash Patel was falling all over himself to blow the antitrans dog whistle.
What is the most evil sentence you can imagine reading tonight?
Vinicious, Yamal, and Cole Palmer can be targets. That's meaningless if you can't come close to sealing the deal. This isn't ALL Levy's fault but they've made a mess of this window.
Congrats you crazy kids. But #GoBirds
And trading us Sam Howell for reasons?
We are ruled by some of the dumbest humans in history. And i would remind you that, for thousands of years of human history, countries were ruled by people whose parents were cousins.
I've got a scar from where my colostomy was that I'm thinking of having a goat's butt tattooed over it.
Got my first tattoo post cancer diagnosis. I had concerns about getting tattooed on lenvima but my oncologist consulted with the pharmacy team to ensure it was safe. My wife and I had a halloween wedding so we got matching tats to commemorate the night. #CanSky #OncSky

Wasn't this an episode of the West Wing 20 years ago?
Happiest of birthdays! My wife and I decided that my birthday (and our anniversary which is the next day) will be a big deal every year now. They hit different when you get your expiration date. This year Disney world. I hope you go big every year and soak up all the love. Your deserve it!
The Devils was the first thing I read. My buddy sold me on it by calling it "fantasy written by Douglas Adams" before I recognized it was Abercrombie who I remembered you talking about years ago. Loved it and immediately jumped into the First Law. Just started Best Served Cold this morning.
@chaddundas.bsky.social just finished Last Argument of Kings. Seriously bummed out by the ending but what a spectacular series. Thank you for mentioning this so much over the years. Please force Ben to read it because I want a Road Agents type miniseries of you guys breaking it down.
Gene Simmons loves self promotion above all else. So obviously he's talking about what a great honor this is.
Fuck Big Dom. I said it.
Gonna miss him on the PHLY podcast. Maybe Bo will go back after PHLY bottoms out and they'll resurrect BWF
@kneerecon.bsky.social were you hacked or are you intentionally reposting all these rachel Maddow telegram links?

Does Kruk HAVE political beliefs?
I've got family that went maga. I know the pain for sure.
Brother you're one of the few fighters that I really enjoyed watching who I'm ok knowing about outside of the cage. Frank Mir was one of the nicest dudes i met back when i covered the sport and I'm terrified to ever learn about his loyalties. We won't even start on BJ...
The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. These books are awesome.
Fucking cancer, man. Today I'm feeling physically not terrible for the first time in a while. But my brain is suddenly firing off all sorts of scary thoughts about my future. There really are no truly good cancer days are there? #CanSky #OncSky
Saw them last year for the first time (other than that time i saw Brandon Flowers come out and join Huey Lewis for a couple songs) and they blew me away.
Could be the next Chooch or could be a career minor leaguer. Fine moving on from him for this deal.
You got this friend! Fuck cancer! Fuck it right in the eye!
As a cancer patient, I endorse this message
He's going to put him in the same freezer he's got Scott Hall in. Just waiting for Nash to finish his set.
Living the dream!
At urgent care because what i thought was my regular reaction to keytruda has turned out to be a sinus infection with a little pink eye for good measure. #CanSky #OncSky
Yes! Mine said the same! I cook everything in olive oil already anyway though. I guess I could start splurging for the good stuff and just do shots of it lol.
Lol. In total I think I'm down 70lbs since my diagnosis. Things had been holding steady for about 3 months then Thursday I was down 10 from 3 weeks ago. Today I was down 3 more. I was excited to see a 2 at the start of the scale readout for the first time in maybe 20 years!
Thank you. Sadly there's no happy ending for me. But I'm not planning on checking out anytime soon. Not curable but treatable. I'm 15 months into a 10 year prognosis. Fighting the good fight and trying to keep a smile on my face when I can.
What is YOUR least favorite MINOR side effect from your cancer drugs? Mine is the diarrhea, mostly because it means I have to discuss my poops with every single one of my almost entirely female treatment team and this fella finds that a tad embarrassing. #CanSky #OncSky
She told me that renal cell tumors specifically are hungry little bitches who steal your nutrients (my words not her's). I eat like the fat kid that I am and get very little exercise so this sudden weight loss set off some alarms.
Lost 13lbs this month. What's my weight loss secret? Cancer! Palliative care had me consult a nutritionist today and she told me to add at least 1 more snack to my daily routine. Guess it had to have ONE silver lining. #CanSky #OncSky

I feel like I've run a marathon every night since I started treatment last year. I always tell people that I didn't understand what fatigue was before this. I thought, sure you're tired so take a nap. Fatigue is different and I never really feel fully refreshed. It's physical and mental.
Thank you. I was saying to my wife that I understand rationally that these were sweet nice people doing a wonderful thing to help us. But my lizard brain is whispering to me that I'm weak and pathetic. And I feel awful because I don't view other handicapped people as weak, just myself.
4. I feel broken. I feel like people see me as something to be pitied. I feel like less of a man than I did before this all happened. It's a really hard adjustment that I'll be discussing with my therapist next week. I'm going to bed still feeling less than. This is all in my head. #CanSky #OncSky
3. I was already embarrassed and feeling guilty. Then she needed a break and some very sweet well meaning folks insisted on helping. I'm grateful for their kindness but as a stranger was pushing me in a wheelchair I was humiliated and mortified by what I've become.
2. To events like concerts or ballgames. We went to see @alyankovic.bsky.social today. Great show. But the handicapped parking isn't close to the venue and required a few hundred yards of travel, much of it up hill. My wife is a trooper though and she was struggling along to push me.
Becoming handicapped is a mental adjustment i still haven't made. Btwn my drop foot and the fatigue of having/ going through treatments for cancer, I'm unable to walk any kind of distance, especially outdoors where terrain is uneven. For this reason I use a wheelchair when we go... #CanSky #OncSky
Bro, if I couldn't get Insurance through my job I'd be dead. Cost paid by insurance for 1 of my cancer treatments is $53k every 3 wks. That doesn't account for my daily meds that have a COPAY of $8k per month that I have to find asst progs to cover because that's more than I & my wife make combined.
So happy for you! A little jealous that I'll never again get to experience not having cancer but always excited for there to be one more person ringing the bell in celebration for the last time. You did it!
Just another Friday afternoon in the infusion suite. #CanSky #OncSky
Reading this while sitting in my orthopedic oncologist's office.
Are we calling Leno "funny"?
Had a great night out with my wife & her family but I'm beyond exhausted & in intense pain. All I did was come home from work, feed the dogs, then go out for dinner without taking any significant time to relax on the couch. That was enough to completely ruin my body. Cancer is hard. #CanSky #OncSky
I feel you and I'm sorry. I've only been dealing with being sick for 15 months and I'm completely burned out. I don't know how you've been able to last this long. True warrior! #CanSky #OncSky
I'm seeing him this Saturday in Philly. Was talking about it in the office and a colleague in her 20s had never heard of him. I felt like I was going to turn to a pile of dust.
I was talking about these podcast bros with a friend the other day and I think you can shed the most light on it for me. Was Rogan always this guy? Or did he radicalize at some point? I always got a libertarian sovereign citizen asshat vibe from him. But you know the man on some level.
Gorilla Monsoon is buried at Lakeview cemetery in Cinnaminson.
I'm always amazed by the summary of payment my insurance sends me. My infusion costs $53k per treatment. That's every 3 weeks. Without insurance I would just die. My oral meds have an 8k per month copay. I have to enroll in assistance progs to cover it.
At stage IV, I have the option to go out on social security disability at this pt but I'm not ready. It would be a financial burden & it feels like a bridge I'm not mentally ready to cross. But I could sure use a week away in a cabin somewhere. Instead I used a vacation day to get scans yesterday.
My employer does pretty well by me, give me a lot of grace to leave early for treatments. I'm holding tight to 5 vacation days in Oct because we had to skip our honeymoon last year thanks to all the time i spent in hospital. But that means working through some rough days sometimes.
Here's something they don't tell you when you get cancer. Good luck getting actual time to recharge if you're continuing to work. You're going to spend most of your PTO going to various dr appts, scans, or treatments, so don't plan on taking a week to travel or sit on a beach. #CanSky #OncSky
Got my 3 month bone scan results and they're unchanged. I call that a win. Now we wait for the arguably more important CT results. Because as my ortho oncologist always says, the bone tumors will hurt but they aren't going to kill me. #CanSky #OncSky #RenalCellCarcinoma #StageIV

Jesus i want to eat that by the spoonful
I'm shocked that the guy who once called a "rape choke" on a ufc broadcast and kept repeating the term "(r-slur) strength" on another is actually a fucking moron.
I'm not taking health advice from a clown that sleeps in a tanning bed like some kind of reverse Dracula and uses smokeless tobacco. Oh, and is a recovering heroine addict. Yes, addiction is a disease but it shouldn't take much convincing to understand heroine is bad for you.
But wouldn't it be nice to have at least 1 great hitting dependable outfielder? Really miss having a Victorino or Abreu in the lineup.
My town sets them off, no lie, less than a block from my house. Our Walls and windows shake with every blast. We have to medicate our poor dogs and, even then, they're terrified. But hey, respect the troops (with PTSD) by blowing shit up. It's the American way! Fuck this holiday.
Ain't got no spit
You could always tell from his stand up that Rogan was an insufferable libertarian who was about 5 minutes from becoming a "sovereign citizen" and those clowns were always right on the periphery of white supremacy.
When will you just join forces with Ben and Chad from the CME to save MMA for those of us who hate basically everyone involved in the sport? Maybe Nate Quarry can work in talent acquisition. There's got to be a billionaire that just hates Dana willing to fund this.
"Excuse me, Chief." Or "Boring conversation anyway." Both banger lines to deliver after smashing a phone. #Jaws #StarWars
Nobody should care. But if they book Jones vs Tommy Gas Hands then that fight is doing enormous numbers, especially by current standards.
Required viewing on the 4th of July. #Jaws50 #RobertShaw #USSIndianapolis
Love you buddy
You can have your 'dark side of marketing' while I choose to sit over here and not make light of one of the greatest tragedies in human history. Godwin's Law came early.
Marge be not proud You only move twice Homer at the bat Marge vs the monorail Mr Plow That's a hell of a top 5
You only move twice is second only to Marge be not proud on my list. Buy me Bonestorm or go to Hell!
Yes, and let's also not fall into the trap that some in the left have by calling it alligator auschwitz. That's fucking offensive.
Apparently even though my out of pocket max with insurance is 4k, that doesn't apply to "specialty rx." When this program runs out I'll have to find another and so on and so on. It's surreal to hear 2 call center employees discuss how to work the numbers so you get to stay alive.
Got a call from cvs yesterday telling me that the copay on my life saving cancer medication was going to be 8k, which is what my wife and I combine for in monthly net income. Spent next hour on phone with insurance co getting enrolled in new copay asst prog bc old one had expired. #CanSky #OncSky

Why do you think this is happening? How do the actual toughest guys in the room get sucked in by the fake wannabe tough guy Bullshit of the modern right? These dudes should be laughing at Trump but instead they win a fight and their first reaction is to praise him.
I watched your entire UFC career and was a big fan. I'm a bigger fan now seeing you prove that not all MMA fighters are irredeemable shitheads. Knowing what i do about Dana, Rogan, and the majority of the fighters i see makes it almost impossible to enjoy the sport i used to love.
