Excellent and insightful interview into the mind of Coach Rivera. Main takeaways:

Ron saw three trends from the playoffs/Super Bowl that impacted his offseason strategy… 1. secondary speed (Bills) 2. offensive skill speed (Chiefs) and 3. OL depth (Chiefs) https://t.co/mTJJtMN3LV

On if there was a 1st round QB Washington wanted:

“Oh yeah. I can’t go into who they are for league reasons. One for sure. The asking price was just too much. … We don’t feel a need to mortgage the future.”

Remember when Kyle Schwarber got off to a slow and everybody said Rizzo made a bad signing.

He's on pace for his first 40 HR season. #Nats #MLB

Lol. Baby shark playing for the first time since 2019 with Parra back in the bigs. Called up despite hitting .220 in the minors and immediately doubled and got a standing ovation.

I love sports.

I like sports Twitter best because I never know what the hell anyone’s saying. It’s kind of peaceful.
