I actually don't mind the Dodgers at all. They have players I really like.

The Tigers were a playoff team the last 2 years , and have one of the best young guys in the game in McGonigle. They have a good base. But if they lose Skubal, it just feels like a reset for no reason. The Tigers or other teams that dump their stars share blame as well. I don't know the real fix.

Yeah, when I used to go out and do trainings, there would always one

person there who would say they'd been doing it this way for 20 years (or whatever). I always had to be tactful and let them know they'd been doing it wrong for 20 years.

You see that in other sports. Some teams commit so many penalties that

the refs won't call them all. Teams know that. It's real bad in college basketball. See: Houston.

All true, but he didn't write the song. The writers hadn't been to WV

either. But the song is 100% about WV. Or going home to WV. They stated that in plenty of interviews.

Don't believe me or some youtube fool. Believe the writers.

The radio station in the song is WWVA in Wheeling, WV. The writer used to listen to it in the 50s. Denver played it at a concert at Concord before the song was released as well. Not to mention he performed it to open Mountaineer Field. “I’m a songwriter. I was looking for words. The words that I loved in that song were Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. They’re songwriter words, so that got me to West Virginia," he said. At the time, Danoff had never been to West Virginia, although he has since been to West Virginia several times and even waded into the Shenandoah River. He’s even proud to have been named an honorary West Virginian -- but the Georgetown University graduate says there are times he doesn’t love hearing the song. “When West Virginia [Mountaineers] plays the Hoyas in basketball, when they beat us they play my song,” he said. ** Edited by reestuart at 7/2/2026, 8:25:36 AM

$10.442 million jump in "fundraising, marketing, and promotion" expense.

It had been $442,000 the year before, so that's the loss. Whatever that actually is.

I saw him playing pick up b-ball at basketball camp prior to his rookie

season with the Bills. He was wearing one of those space suit silver track suits--presumably to lose weight. He could still jump out of the gym. I thought he was going to break a goal before he finished that night.

The demand for tickets is hard to believe. All of these stadiums are packed

and the prices don't seem to have fallen at all. This has far exceeded anything I would have ever expected.

Yeah, it's amazing to watch. Zero wasted energy at all. I heard someone

talking about him before the WC started and mentioned if you watch, you think he's just walking around a lot. I guess he is, but I also think it's 100% part of him breaking things down.
