E tu, Michael Rubin?
This here is the email online sports gear retailer Fanatics sent to Caps fans during the third period last night. The Caps were trailing 2-1 at the time (they lost by the same score):

Now, chalk this up to a simple mistake. It happens. I’ve been on the sending end of these emails.* But, it’s worth noting that Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin, who founded GSI Commerce, owns Fanatics. So I very much appreciate this conspiracy theory:

I vote that they send this email every game until the series is over… on Friday.
*Try having to sit through the MLB.com online store meeting where we had to craft the Rays World Series Champions email and graphics. Somewhere, the inboxes of third-world children are flooded with Rays promotional fare.

So the Mets were in the World Series, and last night their stadium was empty for a division game…. baseball is officially dead

MLB consistently beats the NBA playoffs in TV ratings.
Neither should brag

the graph applies to basically everything on tv except football
Right, except the game was in Philadelphia.
No it was at city field
Ted Cruz would be the best president by far. He is an amazing man and more importantly an amazing Christian. I love how he cheats, lies, and steals delegates in back rooms….
Heyguysherswhatstrending.
The Eagles trade to Browns move up forthe2ndpick and will take a QB. Paul Barjas hits walk off hit in extras inning to give Phillies a Mets win. Flyers remain enlivedbybeatingCapstials 2-1 for the series now 3-1. That’s what’s trendingonthenew975Thefanatic.

angelo cataldi: i hate the trade!!!
mike mayock: this is a gread trade. wentz and goff are both franchise quarterbacks although they have different styles. wentz has a big arm and runs too. goff is a pure pocket passer who doesn’t have a big arm but has a quick release.
ac: are you saying goff has a big arm?
mm: no, the opposite.
ac: oh…is it true you compared wentz and goff to mariota and what’s his name from last year?
mm: you mean jameis winston, yes.
ac: oh…you’re starting to change my mind. i might rethink my stance during the break and not do a totally negative show today.
mm: angelo, stick to what made you rich and famous brother.
ree ya: {gushing} Mike you are AWESOME!
ac: what do you think Al?
Al: mike is a BC guy so just go with what he says.
“Et tu.” “E tu” is for dagos.
My employer blocks twitter. So, these twitter-links-with-commentary stories never make any sense
Does anyone want to play quizzo with me?
