Washington is joining the queue of states bringing legal action against Kalshi, a popular prediction market. The platform allows users to wager money on everything from sports games, to politics, to pop culture — and even military actions.

Got my Ichiro replica statue. Bought a new hat. Met up with @bittersnail.bsky.social. He gave me a Shohei Ohtani baseball card.

Good times at the baseball stadium.

John Stanton out!

I was told there'd be no math today.

Honestly, Hair Pulls in women's soccer need a hockey rule. If the victim wants to square up. Let em.

Column: The Jaden Ivey debacle is another embarrassing failure for Artūras Karnišovas and the Chicago Bulls If Artūras Karnišovas can’t vet his trades, why should he be empowered to continue running the Chicago Bulls front office?

As a queer person covering the Bulls, the team’s response to Jaden Ivey's homophobic comments came as a relief.

But the guard’s beliefs — and willingness to vocalize them — were not a surprise.

If Artūras Karnišovas can’t vet his trades, why should he continue running the Bulls front office?

Crumbling Empire How do you cover baseball at a time when the world is falling apart?

Reign strike early, beat Racing Louisville 2-1 Mercado and Mondésir scored in the first half and the Reign held off a late blitz to secure all three points.

The Reign remain perfect in Spokane and got their third win in four games www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/reig...

Project Hail Mary was a very good watch.

The Philippines Women's National Team has once again qualified for the World Cup!

It's over for all of you.

🇵🇭

The World Baseball Classic, Team USA, and the war problem On conduct unbecoming.

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

Vinnie Pasquantino asked me if I'm gonna hit a home run. he also said the espresso tastes like a home run.

Honestly, the Yeti is new because of the league sponsorship and one of our trainers, Kyla, I'll give her a shout out, good job, Kai. She came up to me this week and said, “I want to do something that makes your cooler unique.” And she was showing me all of these different things. And she was like, “Do you want to pick any?” And I said, “No, I don't want to know. You do you.” And I didn't know she was going to do it for this week, so when I walked out there at the start of the game, I was just smiling because uh you know, whatever. It's just little things that are just hilarious to me. How obsessed people are with me sitting on a cooler is one of them. But I do want to get a padded seat. That's my next request. So I'm just putting that out in the universe to somebody. If you could get me a padded seat that Yeti [make], let's go for it. I'm in.

I asked Laura Harvey postgame about her new customized Yeti cooler, which apparently was a surprise for her from some of the training staff. She loves it but is angling to get a nice cushioned top from Yeti to go with it, if anyone has connections...

"Garrett Temple's still in the league?!", you are a Seattle SuperSonic.

The NWSL is so back.
