No doubt about that red card for Palace, yikes.

Constitution is very clear on this. Would require a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress, plus 38 states supporting the measure to pass an amendment. Won’t happen.

Mentioned it before, but redistrict (Dave Wasserman) is a good follow on Twitter tonight and tomorrow. Breaks down the data, compares results to previous years to look for trends, and no slant. For my money, more insightful than any television program.

Three of the next 6 US Opens are either on Long Island (2026 Shinnecock, 2028 Winged Foot) or in the Philadelphia suburbs (2030, Merion). Those course are far enough east on Long Island that it will be a traffic nightmare to get there. Baltusrol for the 2029 PGA is a good day out, too. Visited the PGA when it was there in 2016. There's a direct train from NYC to the nearby town, and they had a fleet of buses ready to pick you up and take you right to the course, a great day out with plenty of shade and room to spread out. Cost us $110 a person for a 1-day grounds pass at the time.

Did the same double take when we looked at “premium packages.” We’re only 2 hours from Bethpage, but would have been willing to stay the night nearby. But these prices…obscene is an understatement. I’ll look ahead to the PGA Championship at Aronimink in 2026…

First returns won’t tell you much. You’ll wake up with a better picture on Wednesday morning. If you want a good social media follow with no slant, Redistrict on Twitter is a fun read for the rest of the week (Dave Wasserman is his name). He’ll analyze all the returns and consider historical trends…great interpreter of the numbers.

That was pretty bad, and Cole not covering first a few plays later was inexcusable. Freddie Freeman's performance alone won them the series...one of the more likable players in MLB, too.

Wow Hermansen

current mood.

Ready to turn this off and head over to our local brewery for a one-day party:

Oversimplification from a Chelsea supporting friend about this team: They suck. But didn’t suck last year. And Chelsea don’t suck this year.

Off to Edinburgh in November, just booked a round at Gullane no. 2. Played it several years ago, loved the experience…and only costing £50, which is what I’d pay for an average public course over here. Don’t mind the weather…couldn’t imagine visiting Scotland without doing something golf-related, no matter the season.

This time of year is excellent to visit this area. Would definitely avoid New Orleans, Florida, and more during that time of year, especially given recent weather events. Hurricane seasons only seem to be getting worse. A few days each in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC can be done without having a car rental. Would recommend a side trip with a rental car for a couple days to see the fall foliage, get away from the city, and get your hiking in. The Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, both in New York, are lovely this time of year for exploring. Finger Lakes region of New York offers great scenery and outdoor activities with less hills. Best of luck with the planning, happy to offer more recs for certain places as your plans come together!

Lived all my life in the Northeast, now closer to Philadelphia, and have traveled the country. Boston/NYC/Philly/Washington DC is the only part of the country with reliable train travel between major cities, and excellent hiking is not far away (Catskills, Adirondacks, and more). Also, flight options are plentiful. Heathrow, Manchester, and Edinburgh all have nonstop travel to this part of the country. Big question is…What time of year are you looking to travel, and what’s your preferred climate? So true, it’s wildly expansive. For instance, Arizona and the Grand Canyon are breathtaking, but Phoenix also had over 100 consecutive days with temperatures at 38C or higher. Hence the time of year question above.

Well said. Storm surge is a big deal that doesn’t get mentioned enough. Newer buildings are built for winds, but water is a different animal. Added trouble with high tide predicted in the early morning hours, right after landfall. Our best friends are in Zone A in St. Petersburg, and left today. Expecting the worst, no sugarcoating it.

Replay showed it wasn’t much for contact. First half handball was far more convincing

phew

Of course Attwell cleared that handball

Tree House Oak-aged ESB is better than any bitter I had this spring while in London.

Did not know this, and while horrifying, not at all surprised. I’ll stick with my takeout cheesesteak and American-made ESB tonight. Even our “crisps” are subpar. All Dressed (Canadian staple) and Prawn Cocktail > anything we can buy here.

We’re all of product of our upbringing in terms of tastes, and there’s a lot of garbage food here. But ten days in Florida theme parks will make you question more about our country than just the food. That being said, I will NEVER turn my nose up at British food. I specifically visit one nearby store over here to buy steak and ale pies and specialty teas all winter long. Rather eat British food year round than step foot in Florida ever again.

Absolutely perfect day at Tree House. If you ever have a reason to be in New England, it’s a must visit. Their cans are great, but even better on draft.

Vardyyyyyyyy

Won’t be upset if we keep seeing this Faes today

NBC commentators think Mavididi is on the right?
