Former Cincinnati Reds great Joey Votto reacted to former St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina's induction into the team's Hall of Fame by tweeting, "Class player. Class franchise."
Votto still played for the Reds in 2022 when he tweeted minutes before the start a series finale against the Cardinals at Great American Ball Park and called for "appreciation for the experience of competing against Cards icons" Molina and Albert Pujols.
Pujols was inducted alongside Molina into the Cardinals' Hall of Fame.
Molina and former Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips were the principals in a memorable Reds-Cardinals brawl in August 2010.

On Aug. 30, Elon Musk tweeted that ***** eX (SPCX) will start casting its own gas turbine blades and vanes at a foundry in Texas. And when the richest man in the world makes a statement, the world takes notice. The market worried about the impact this could have on Howmet Aerospace (HWM), and its stock fell roughly 8% in a single trading session. The blades Musk wrote about sit in the hottest part of a turbine, and they are one of the main bottlenecks slowing down new power plants. Musk said building them in-house could bring turbines online up to 18 months sooner, feeding the power needs of ***** eX's AI data centers. Investors heard "new competitor" and sold. In my opinion, that may have been an overreaction.
The only reason ***** eX has to build its own foundry is that Howmet and the firms like it are sold out. Just four companies in the world cast these blades at scale, and together they control around 70% to 80% of the market. So several ***** ysts read the news as a sign of strength. Bernstein, which had lifted its price target to $328 just days earlier, called the selloff a buying opportunity. Citi and Jefferies pushed back too.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says His $3.5 Billion MediaTek Deal Is 'Not Circular' Because 'They Do Their Own Business'
Strategy's Strategy Appears to Have Failed, and the Outlook of MSTR Stock Is Unfavorable

During the New York Yankees 16-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, WEEI radio's Red Sox play-by-play man Will Flemming made some alarming comments about Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Chisholm stole two bases in the eighth inning with the Yankees holding on to a six-run lead. He proceeded to call Chisholm a bush league player and said he does not play the game the right way. He also said that pitcher Jovani Morán should intentionally hit Austin Wells, who was at the plate, in retaliation for Chisholm stealing. Yankees players and fans were rightfully upset, including New York Knicks star Josh Hart.
"Yo (Red Sox) your idiotic announcer got to go," Hart said on X on Monday.
Cam Schlittler, who's never shy about going on social media, later tweeted out seemingly in support of Hart's message.

When Cincinnati Reds National League Rookie of the Year favorite Sal Stewart hit his 31st home run of the season in the seventh inning of their series finale against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Stewart celebrated with a tribute to New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson as he rounded the bases.
It got the attention of celebrity Knicks fan Ben Stiller, who tweeted, "Love this."
After the game, when Stewart was asked during an on-field NBC interview about the celebration, he said he had told teammates he would "do the Brunson" when he homered.

Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan went ballistic on pro-Israel Democratic activist Fred Guttenberg for being an "unhinged, racist POS" and an "Islamophobe" after Guttenberg brought up a deleted post where Hasan supposedly joked about American planes crashing on President Donald Trump's watch.
Hasan's searing rant on Sunday came after the two had already exchanged a number of digital blows on X.
The shot which sent Hasan over the edge was Guttenberg calling him out for posting "Make American Planes Crash Again" in February 2025, following multiple plane crashes in the previous few weeks. Hasan clearly didn't appreciate Guttenberg telling his 460,000 followers about the remark.
"Two hours after you said you're moving on and wouldn't be tweeting about me, you tweeted AGAIN about me, this time copying Laura Loomer's attack on me because you're both a liar and and an Islamophobe (and clearly an unhinged troll)," Hasan fumed. He continued, "You know perfectly well that tweet was a bad joke/mockery of Trump's FAA/Doge cuts and plane crashes that happened on his watch and that I deleted it because Islamophobes we're trying to pretend I was a terrorist. You truly are an unhinged, racist POS, Fred. And the next death or deportation threat I get from the right today will be on you."
Hasan's response echoed his explanation for what he called the "poorly worded" post back in 2025. He said he deleted what he called a "sarcastic" post "because MAGA and Islamophobic" users had taken him out of context.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler tweeted that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans and the team are preparing as if he's going to suit up in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Evans missed practice this week with a groin injury. Kyle Shanahan said he expected Evans to be back for next week's practice. Fowler confirmed that Evans' latest injury is minor, like the other ones he's sustained this month. Not that there was any doubt, but Evans' groin injury does not sound serious.
If the regular season is anything like training camp and the preseason, Evans could be a mainstay on the injury report. He may be listed as questionable and never miss a game, but this could be the norm.
Evans figures to be a massive part of the 49ers' offense. Kyle Shanahan has a run-first mentality, but Evans is the type of player who could turn his head coach into the pass-happy type. Adding Evans to the offense benefits everybody involved. The running game, the receivers, the running backs, and most importantly, Brock Purdy.

Eric Daugherty of RightLine News, a conservative news outlet, tweeted on Tuesday that there were reports of Sophie Cunningham leaving the Indiana Fever at the end of the 2026 WNBA season. Daugherty then wondered if the potential move had anything to do with Cunningham's comments in an ESPN profile, where she said that she wanted to protect female athletes in sports where they "shouldn't have to go against biological men."
Daugherty did not cite the reports, though he reposted an article with fan speculation about Cunningham's future.
Still, Daugherty's tweet led to some intense reactions from netizens.
"if they release sophie, caitlin will back her and quit if necessary and the league will go back into obscurity," one fan claimed.
It's also worth pointing out that Cunningham is on a one-year deal with the Fever, meaning that she could be entering free agency instead of facing the prospect of getting "released" at the end of the season.

On the heels of this year's Naismith Hall of Fame ceremony, Mychal Thompson is calling for a former LA Lakers player to be inducted next. Thompson, however, isn't making a case for himself.
Instead, the two-time NBA champion during the Lakers' "Showtime" era tweeted on Monday that a former teammate of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant deserves HOF honors.
"OK [Basketball] Halla Fame…Time to Induct Robert Horry…What's the hold up?"
The opinion drew different reactions from fans, with some supporting the idea of Horry getting a Hall of Fame induction and others arguing that he wasn't worthy of one.
One netizen posited the idea that the 2003-04 Lakers would have won the NBA championship had they kept Horry in the lineup, instead of signing Karl Malone. Thompson went on to respond.

Former Cincinnati Reds great Joey Votto tweeted that he'll be part of NBC's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast of the Reds' game August 30 against the Cubs in Chicago.
"I'm doing Reds/Cubs next Sunday," Votto tweeted. "Tell me something I didn't need to know about the game."
"Give me one SFW word I need to sneak in on air," Votto added via Twitter. He tweeted a poll with the choices of "who dey" and "bangs" and added, "It's up to you now."
In July, Votto explained during NBC's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast why he's never visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
Votto also was asked while making his NBC Sunday Night Baseball debut July 26 whether he ever lobbied to play the outfield, and he mentioned a painful memory.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Dane Myers went back and forth on social media in a heated exchange with ex-Reds OF Tommy Pham over Myers' costly fly-ball drop in the ninth inning of a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
"What's going on is we have cf's today who know the value of stealing catches to help their ooa numbers go up bcuz it improves your war so you have this, a game that is lost bcuz the cf didn't want the lf to catch the ball bcuz he wanted the points," Pham tweeted.
"A ten year vet, decent one at that, a 'brother' calling me selfish. You are talking like an average fan man, you spent all that time in big leagues you should know/remember there's more to a play than what just appears on the screen … that being said play still has to be made," Myers replied.
"Like I've never played in cincy you can add this to your column than danemyers3," Pham replied.
"Sticking with selfish still? Even after a mutual told you that's not who I am? I'm 30 about to enter first year of arb I'm never getting a big bag, I don't care about extra .1 oaa, I play to win, quit playing with my name and character. You sound dumb. You're a wack 'OG' to me," Myers added in a tweet.

Mark Ruffalo has refuted charges that he is antisemitic. According to the actor, the accusation is baseless and criticizing the Israeli prime minister is not equivalent to being antisemitic.
"The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life," Ruffalo tweeted.
Ruffalo is known as a controversial figure in Hollywood who is ready to speak out, regardless of possible criticism. For example, he faced backlash from people who criticized him for opposing the proposed media merger and criticizing its executives.
"This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country," Ruffalo wrote. "Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle's business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public."
These statements coincide with concerns voiced by media watchdogs and freedom-of-the-press activists, as well as problems ****** ociated with one family acquiring numerous media properties and a lack of transparency in financing such deals.

A Twitter/X account with more than 460,000 followers took a shot at the Cincinnati Bengals over the whole having-to-cross-the-street-to-get-to-practice thing, and many rushed in the replies to the Bengals' defense.
"TRENDING: #bears star quarterback Caleb Williams was stunned when he realized he had to cross an actual street just to get to the #bengals practice field in Cincinnati," MLFootball tweeted. "This is still one of the most pathetic things that a professional franchise has."
Did Williams really look stunned? Crossing a street doesn't seem to be as stunning a development as, say, a Dexter Lawrence interception of Williams during the teams' joint practice near Paycor Stadium.
After the practice, Williams sounded impressed with Lawrence and the Bengals' revamped defense.

On Wednesday, news broke of the Denver Nuggets trading 3-and-D ******* et Peyton Watson in a five-team transaction. Among the many moving parts in this situation, Angel Reese's brother Julian was sent by the Washington Wizards to the Nuggets, who will reportedly waive the 23-year-old forward from his two-way contract.
While most of the attention has been on Watson and how he strengthens the Cleveland Cavaliers' lineup, NBA fans also had a number of reactions to Julian Reese's fate.
"I thought Julian Reese played pretty good last year. He can for sure rebound," one fan tweeted.
In 13 games with the Wizards last season, the 6-foot-9 Reese averaged 11.8 points and 10.5 rebounds per game while shooting 52.9% from the field.
His career high in scoring came when the Wizards blew out the Utah Jazz 133-110 on March 25. That night, the former Maryland standout put up 26 points on 12-for-16 shooting from the field. Reese also pulled down 17 rebounds.

The Oklahoma Sooners are a top-10 program heading into the 2026 college football season, according to the preseason AP poll released on Monday. The Sooners came in at No. 10, coming off a 10-3 season and a College Football Playoff berth in 2025.
However, not everyone is on board with the Sooners' top-10 ranking. On "SportsCenter," ESPN's Paul Finebaum said that Oklahoma doesn't belong that high.
"I don't know how people realistically think Oklahoma's going to finish in the top-10," Finebaum said. "You can say whatever you want about what they have in John Mateer... but, Matt, their schedule is beyond brutal."
Former Sooner great Gerald McCoy had an issue with that statement from Finebaum. He tweeted saying that Oklahoma is one of the best programs in the history of college football, and they don't shy away from anyone.
"Schedule?" McCoy posted. "That's your reason, Finebaum? Man, this is the scariest, weakest statement ever. Winning a natty ain't easy. It has to be earned. This is OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL. We ain't worried about no schedule, man. We welcome all smoke!! Top universities, say line it up!! And we are a top university. Line it up with whoever!! Win, lose or draw, we ain't ducking ****** ODY. Home or road."

Deion Sanders has never done things the conventional way, and his latest rules for fall training camp put him right back in the national crosshairs. When Coach Prime restricted standard media access, national sports commentators quickly jumped on the story, accusing him of trying to control the press and shield his team from tough questions.
While national pundits tore into the decision, a voice deep within the Colorado football family offered a very different perspective. Liz Munsterteiger, whose late husband, Adam, spent over two decades covering the Buffaloes before his passing in May 2026, shared a clear, thoughtful reflection on social media that cut through the noise.
Writing to the fanbase and media community, Liz admitted she was never the one drawing up X's and O's, but she knew the beat inside and out: "When I started this BuffStampede journey, I made it clear l'd never have the football knowledge to be one of the beat writers. That hasn't changed. But I do know what I witnessed over nine years of watching adamcm777 lose access to this team, bit by bit. I've been thinking about him a lot watching this whole "fight" over DeionSanders and CUBuffsFootball opening practice to media with restrictions," she tweeted.
"Adam covered this program for more than 20 years, through a lot of coaches and a lot of different eras of access. He'd find it insane that opening the gates more somehow became a story about shutting media out."

Writing to the fanbase and media community, Liz admitted she was never the one drawing up X's and O's, but she knew the beat inside and out: "When I started this BuffStampede journey, I made it clear l'd never have the football knowledge to be one of the beat writers. That hasn't changed. But I do know what I witnessed over nine years of watching adamcm777 lose access to this team, bit by bit. I've been thinking about him a lot watching this whole "fight" over DeionSanders and CUBuffsFootball opening practice to media with restrictions," she tweeted.
"Adam covered this program for more than 20 years, through a lot of coaches and a lot of different eras of access. He'd find it insane that opening the gates more somehow became a story about shutting media out."

Retired NFL Pro Bowler Robert Griffin III highlighted how special Clark was, diving into her stats.
"Caitlin Clark 26 points, 9 ******* ists, 3 rebounds and a big time win over the Atlanta Dream. Caitlin Clark should be the front runner for WNBA MVP," he tweeted. "Nobody impacts the game more with scoring & ******* ists."

After the Indiana Fever defeated the Dallas Wings on Friday, Sophie Cunningham was seen at Clayton's Country Bar in Indianapolis. Clayton Anderson, the country music singer who happens to own the bar, spotted the Fever guard and asked her to sing alongside him. Cunningham obliged, and they ended up belting out Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue."
The clip of Cunningham and Anderson singing, which has been viewed 1.5 million times, drew a positive reaction from former college swimmer Riley Gaines.
"America's sweetheart," gaines wrote on x.
This is the latest compliment Gaines has given Cunningham in recent weeks. Since Cunningham's ESPN profile came out last month, the former Kentucky swimmer has thrown her weight behind the Fever star.
Gaines took the opportunity to pose for a picture with the Fever guard after Cunningham's squad visited the Minnesota Lynx on Aug. 2. Gaines tweeted the picture, in which she recreated Cunningham's viral finger-pointing meme, and posted a short statement in the caption: "Little girls belong."

One person tweeted, "the ultra rich are making me hate fashion. we are (rightly) pressured to shop second hand, support local designers, etc, but but but someone across the world needs a dress for five minutes," while another wrote, "It's really 'eat the rich' even the ones I like. Sending a private jet for a dress and meanwhile we're stuck drinking water that tastes like paper and letting ourselves die of heat without turning on the AC."

The news has been pointing this direction for a while now, but finally we get the most solid reporting yet that Manor Solmon is leaving Tottenham Hotspur. Fabrizio Romano (sigh) tweeted this afternoon that full agreement has been reached between Tottenham and West Ham, and Solomon will be heading across town to play football in the Championship next season. The deal is a permanent one.
I'll say again that £5m + £2m in add-ons is a fire-sale price for a player like Manor who has already proven that he can do well in the second division. That said, Solomon has proven himself to be a divisive — there I go using that word again — player who has been pretty much shut out by Spurs' last three managers, including Roberto De Zerbi who actually managed him at Shakhtar Donetsk from where he was signed three years ago. That tells me a lot. Clearly Spurs' priorities were more finding him a new club and less making any sort of substantial profit on his sale.
I won't belabor this and anyway I'm not opening the comments for this or any future Solomon article because honestly I'm just sick to death of the guy and am glad I no longer really have to write about him or moderate any more comment sections that discuss him. He was here, he didn't do much, and now he's nearly gone.
I will say that Solomon feels like a really weird fit for a club like West Ham considering their fans' past, y'know, conduct towards Tottenham Hotspur. A cursory social media search suggests this isn't the most popular signing with that lot. I do really, honestly hope that it doesn't turn out to be as bad a situation as I think it potentially could be, and that's all I'm going to say about that.
But Solomon is a tested and proven attacker at West Ham's current level and I have no doubt he'll do well there. Honestly, for what it's worth I'm just glad it's (almost) finally over.

Since Sophie Cunningham made her remarks on transgender athletes in women's sports, she has been asked by reporters to clarify her comments. For one WNBA ***** yst, this is completely unnecessary.
On Wednesday, Robin Lundberg tweeted his support for the Indiana Fever guard by arguing that the media response to her remarks has blown things out of proportion.
"Order of operations: Sophie made comment in article. Sophie asked to clarify when no clarification was needed. Media member hijacked presser based on like 15 people outside. Sophie leaned into it all. Pundits pushed issue endlessly. Sophie trying to tamper it down."
Lundberg's tweet comes on the heels of Cunningham criticizing the media as she spoke to reporters at the Fever's practice session.
"The WNBA media, all we ever do is cover everything except basketball…You can talk about other things. Those are great stories. It shows fans who people are outside the court. I also think we gotta keep the main thing, the main thing."

A plane flew over Wrigley Field ahead of Tarik Skubal's Los Angeles Dodgers debut on Tuesday, Aug. 4. It was supposed to read, "The Dodgers ruined baseball"... if it weren't upside down.
The fumbled stunt, funded by sports gambling company Underdog, was intended as a jab at the back-to-back World Series champions — and their projected $322 million payroll — in the wake of their blockbuster trade for the best pitcher in baseball.
"We just want to say what every fan is already thinking," Underdog said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. And in that aspect, they accomplished just that. Just look at the replies under Jeff Passan's tweet when he broke news of the trade on Saturday night.
"They ruined the sport I love," wrote murphyJacks0n.
"We need a lockout," owennoble81 tweeted. "This is crazy."

Additionally, I've made a donation of 3 million yen through the ******* anese Red Cross."

Though my efforts are modest, I will continue to provide whatever support I can moving forward."
