Some of them don’t understand that you can actually like more than one promotion. During the Monday Night Wars, there were tons of people switching back and forth between RAW and Nitro to see what was happening on both. It’s not an “either or” proposition.

Whether you liked or disliked BvS, Marvel should be more focused on what's going on in their books right now. Creatively, they are terrible

💯. I do enjoy how Zack referenced WB having its own “universe” as a reason they tried to restrict him from doing certain things. That’s very polite of him, because WB has no semblance of a “universe” whatsoever—it’s a flimsy slate of solo films that aren’t connected in any way.

This is one of the reasons why I do what I do. It’s been a joy covering the Eastern View field hockey team—a group of hard-working young women and a coaching staff led by tough women who demand excellence on and off the pitch. Congrats Cyclones on your first state title!!

They aren’t disappointed; the extreme Snyder cultists WANT them to be disappointed because they’re hoping that’ll somehow invalidate the criticism BvS and JL received and make WB pivot away from Pattinson/Reeves. Neither of those will happen.

Actually, they don’t all start out in WWE. Also, this is a dangerously narrow view to have on anything, to be so loyal to something that you see no faults in it. I’ve spent a ton of time and money on WWE over the last three decades or so, and I can still say this: WWE is broken.

Absolutely right. They shouldn’t be waiting in airports whether we’re in a pandemic or not. However, the pandemic takes a creepy situation and adds potential exposure to a virus to it. Double whammy. Don’t blame Punk here.

As long as Angelos is allowed to own a franchise and a network, nonsense like this will continue to happen. He’s spent three decades running the Orioles into the ground, and he’s still bitter that another team that cares about competing has taken many of the fans he ran off.

It really is comical. The best one is that the division championship should go to whoever spent more days in first place.

So on a TV ratings report, it’s broken down primarily by demographics, not by total viewers. The 18-49 demo is what’s looked at first, because that age group is generally the largest, spends the most money on merchandise, etc. AEW beat WWE in that demo.

Spotsy senior center fielder Dante Fairchild led off last night’s game with a solo homer—his second of the season. The speedster also stole a base, making him a perfect 6-for-6 on such attempts.

I’m as patient as anyone, having worked on NCAA Football rosters myself. But this is now borderline absurd. The game has been out for 10 weeks as of this Friday. I also think most people wouldn’t be as frustrated if there were regular updates, as opposed to the silent treatment.
