A week without ESPN was surprisingly, absolutely fine. Could do another week (and it sure looks like I will). Isn't this ESPN's nightmare, me realizing I can live without it? If it is not ESPN's nightmare...shouldn't it be? https://t.co/dOKB2KwhW7

Magnesiacore. Indoor Pool Drywall and Ceilings is a True Marine Wallboard. When it comes to indoor pools, natatoriums, or other enclosed spaces with high humidity and the moist chemical exposure it entails, you need a construction board that can withstand these elements.

ESPN story notes that the Rose Bowl is 26 miles from UCLA, doesn't mention that, this very minute, that route -- the fewest miles you can chart among the various ways to get there -- would take you 1 hr 20 min. Context https://t.co/ekfFw3iKbP

The Rose Bowl and the city of Pasadena have sued UCLA for allegedly trying to move its games to the newer SoFi Stadium, which is closer to campus.

That is absolutely nuts
Blake Snell has allowed 1 or 0 runs in 48.7% of his career MLB starts (including postseason). That’s the highest percentage of any pitcher with at least 200 career regular season + postseason starts in the modern era (since 1901).

Ask the sports books: The bill *always* comes due. No amount of magical thinking by the NBA could make it otherwise. You don't get to scrape gambling profits without taking on gambling problems. https://t.co/6JYIf38biP

I guess I understand why the Angels couldn't come to terms with Albert Pujols.
Kurt Suzuki has a one-year deal. “He’s tied in with me,” said Perry Minasian, who also has one year left.

So it's a rebuild. But you knew that! Buster Posey told you so at the trade deadline.

Penn State is paying its football coach $50 million to be fired, and spending about $700M to renovate its stadium. Whew! For a second there, I thought D-I schools said they were worried about paying their athletes. https://t.co/ihVn1OSDLX

Dan Dickerson is a real one
Dan Dickerson statement: "I want to sincerely apologize for swearing during a break in the post-game last night. Our mics were inadvertently left open — but I know better than to swear into an open mic. It was said in a moment of frustration, and not a reflection about how I feel

The @NLRB is paralyzed in Washington. However, California appears poised to become one of the first states in the nation to take over the job of protecting workers — a role the Trump administration has essentially abdicated, writes @MarkKreidler. https://t.co/KxJ9ldLIow

The National Labor Relations Board is unable to meet due to inaction in Washington. The Golden State is pushing an alternative for its workers.

Give Jerry Jones this: He's figured out that in the current climate, blatantly lying about something that everyone can see with their own eyes is strategy, not buffoonery. (I'm only partially sure about that last part.)

No counselor knows your child like you do. So why would you let one promise to change something that can't be changed? Your child needs you.

Adrenalized ump, superheated moment, a human missed call vs. Bogaerts -- exactly what ABS can address next year. But it's *not* a perfect system. If the @Padres were out of challenges, the missed call would simply stand, just like it did today.
