Jordan Walker won the 2026 MLB Home Run Derby in front of a hostile Philadelphia crowd that was booing his every pitch taken. Making roughly $800,000 a year, he pocketed $1 million in prize money with an incredible late surge that left Schwarber and the Philly faithful stunned.
Fancy offices with matcha and glass walls signal you've already lost the plot. Hasan Minhaj's real creative weapon is a tiny room above a Dunkin' Donuts with no Wi-Fi, a yellow legal pad, and sticky notes. The covalent bond of proximity — bodies in the same room, atoms colliding — is where the real work happens.
Folarin Balogun's one-game red card suspension was suspended ahead of USA vs. Belgium, and Big Cat and PFT are absolutely reveling in it. PFT argues the USA has historically been victimized by FIFA corruption for decades — and if their first taste is just getting their best striker back for a game where the red card was bogus to begin with, they'll take it.
The FBI had a mole inside Gavin Newsom's political orbit a full year before the public knew. Democrat insider Alexis Podesta wore a wire, cell phone warrants were issued, and Newsom's chief of staff ultimately pled guilty — which means investigators got something worth following up on.
The Philadelphia 76ers had 100-to-1 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook to acquire Jaylen Brown — the worst odds of any team in the NBA. They landed him anyway, sending the Pardon My Take crew into full emergency podcast mode.
Democratic Supreme Court justices have never voted in Trump's favor across dozens of major rulings, while conservative justices have sided against Trump multiple times. Patrick Bet-David lays out the full scorecard and warns what happens when the court flips 6-3 left.
LeBron going to Golden State would be worse than KD's move — and the hosts think even die-hard Bron fans would struggle to follow him there. Cleveland is the one destination that makes sense for his legacy, and the mulch delivery at his Akron house might be the tell.
The Supreme Court struck down Trump's birthright citizenship executive order, but three justices think a constitutional right can be repealed by executive fiat. The real story isn't that birthright citizenship survived — it's that the margin was far closer than it should have been.
Once the Celtics put Jaylen Brown in the Giannis sweepstakes, there was no going back. Simmons argues the mistake was not immediately opening Brown to all bidders at once, because now that teams know he must be traded, the market has already soured.
The PMT crew records live during the final minutes of the USMNT 2-2 draw with Turkey in a group stage finale that was already meaningless for advancement. The result sparks an immediate argument about whether Hank has ever really supported US soccer — and everyone agrees the real enemy is Bosnia.
Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at Travis Kelce's Tight Ends University event and performed Love Story with Lainey Wilson at George Kittle's request. Jackie and Claudia debate what song they would have requested instead — Jackie picks All Too Well (10-minute version), Claudia lands on The Story of Us.
Analytics and improved scouting have essentially eliminated bad lottery picks. Bill Simmons and Kyle Mann note that the first 12 players taken were universally the right calls — no Kendrick Browns, no wild swings. The draft has become too competent to be fun.
PFT Commenter goes all-in defending the Washington Wizards' 4-year, $212 million signing of Trae Young, dismissing critics — including ESPN's Brian Windhorst — as suffering from 'Wiz Derangement Syndrome.' He cites Trae's historic assist numbers (3rd all-time, behind only Magic and Stockton) and argues the Bradley Beal comparison is wrong because that deal had a no-trade clause.
Miami gave up everything except Bam Adebayo — Herro, Ware, Shayok, the 13th pick, two unprotected firsts, and a swap — for a player who hasn't been on a winning team in years. The Bucks got a patchwork of pieces from a 43-win team and some picks starting four years out.
Fans at Shinnecock booed Wyndham Clark's every shot and cheered his misses — a level of hostility rarely seen at a US Open. The hosts break down the three strikes against him: smashing lockers at Oakmont, destroying a T-Mobile sign, and making a birth control joke at the Masters Par 3 tournament.
Boston and Miami are the two finalists for Giannis, and the key variable is whether the Celtics will top Miami's offer. Kuzma is likely the 'Giannis tax' — the extra piece whichever team takes him will have to absorb.
AJ Dybantsi is the clear #1 pick because he does everything at a high level — size, toughness, athleticism, skill — and his ceiling is still unknown. The Wizards finally have their franchise cornerstone, and no red flags from Peterson should change that.
Will Ferrell walked into Lorne Michaels' office carrying a briefcase stuffed with counterfeit money from a toy store, planning to stack it on Lorne's desk and demand a spot on SNL. He was too nervous to pull it off — but he brought the briefcase back to the meeting where he was finally offered the job.
Paige DeSorbo admits she kept dropping therapy in her 20s because she felt guilty using an hour of someone's time when she 'didn't have real childhood trauma.' She didn't realize until her 30s that the shame of thinking your problems aren't valid enough is exactly why you need to be in therapy.
Roughly 33 non-executive, non-managerial SpaceX employees are each expected to receive between $200 and $400 million from the SpaceX IPO. These aren't VPs or directors — they're the people who believed in the mission and stayed when everyone else left for Google or Facebook.
Travis Kelce insists his viral courtside beer chug was completely intentional and dignified: no spills, no crushed can, pinky up. Jason agrees it was an 'elegant chug' — the right amount of energy to get the crowd going when the Cavs were down 10.
