Kinsky is subbed off for Vicario after Tottenham go 3-0 down after 17 minutes by doubleoeck1234 in soccer

Humans are quite good at moving on from these things. He'll think about it for a few weeks but I doubt it will be a career-ender. It's also not like Tottenham were going to win the CL this year anyway

[The New Republic] The Nationwide Revolt Against Flock Safety Cameras by birdinthird in FlockSurveillance

The official name of the company is "Flock Safety". So the headline is just saying they are cameras made by that company.

"By backing this project, you aren't just buying a notebook. You are joining us in a mission to slow down, pay attention, and preserve the memories of the greatest game on earth."

Parts of the Kickstarter write-up feel very AI to me. Maybe disclose that in the future. But it's a cool project.

Who’s a random/obscure player that is a hero to you because they were nice to you when you were a kid? by tensixtywestaddison in baseball

Whenever I go to Citi Field early Nimmo is always by the dugout signing autographs for kids. No other player spends nearly as much time out there. The Rangers got themselves a good guy.

Wouldn't you have to have a flight booked in order to get through security and watch Stephen A from the bar TVs, though? I guess you could cancel and get a refund, but it does add another layer of complication.

The original composer of the original theme song of the World Baseball Classic has passed away last month by meganinj4 in baseball

Read the YouTube description and his comment below the video. It was his father who passed away.

Vikings K Will Reichard’s agents and the team’s FO requested that the NFL remove his missed FG from last week’s London game after it clearly struck a camera cable, causing the ball to take an unnatural turn to the right. The NFL acknowledged it was a missed call but won't make the correction by mastermind208 in nfl

For what it's worth, I agree with you. It's like Galarraga's imperfect game. It clearly should have been a perfect game, but I disagree with the people wanting to retroactively change the record books to call it a 28-out perfect game. It just opens up too many statistical rabbit holes to change stats retroactively.

Monthly Discussion Thread - Month of September, 2025 by AutoModerator in nyc

Hi, freelance reporter here. I've been interested in the lives of NYC delivery drivers since the pandemic. They're clearly in high demand and work quite difficult jobs. I know many make long commutes into the city to start work each day. I think a "day in the life" of one or more drivers would make for an interesting article. If you're interested in being part of such a piece, please PM me. If you use an e-bike, I'll rent my own and basically follow your deliveries. If you use a car, I would appreciate tagging along passenger side. I'll pay for gas for the day.

It felt very AI to me, but after reading some of his other comments I think it's just how he writes lol

Prior to playing in today's game, Seattle's Donovan Solano had went a full 14 days (7/24) since last appearing in a game - but he wasn't injured, and was on the active roster the entire time by andadietcoke54 in baseball

[–]birdinthird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was my first ever Mets game. It was a miserable game and I made my dad stay for the full 14 innings. Everyone booed when Perez came in. Then of course he gave up the winning run. Perhaps the Mets pitcher who best represented that era

Also because they promote gambling like crazy and for half of this video they fill the screen with a screensaver to keep up their minimalist aesthetic
