Laid Off Hooters Girls React To Bidenomics, Patrick Mahomes Looking Thick(er) & Mets Pick Can Tackle
What do you hate most about sports fans?
- Nate T. writes:
What is something sports fans do that get on your nerves the most? For instance, mine would be the ones who always blame refs every time their team loses, and/or a team they hate wins. This is especially prevalent in playoffs/championship games.
Kinsey:
1. I hate whining about loses and the refs. Detroit sports fans are horrible with this. I know, I know…every major sports city has this issue, but Detroit fans are some of the worst. I assume it's rooted in the factories where guys could stew about calls all day while making cars. It was passed down and now Detroit social media is always a huge sports conspiracy theory.
2. I'm not a big fan of fans who like to call it "Buckeye Nation" or "Dawgs Nation" or some other nation. It feels like the Walmartification of sports. You don't belong to a nation. Stop.
Those are the two things off the top of my head.
Readers keep telling me I made the right coaching decision not loading the bases in the 12U championship game
- Mark T. in Florida, who has nine years of baseball and football coaching on his resume, writes:
At 11/12 baseball you did the right thing not intentionally walking a runner to load the bases. No matter who is pitching at that age / level you had an empty base in case the nerves got to him and he walks a batter. If you load them up and he walks a batter the season ends; then the pitcher has to live with that the entire offseason.
Kinsey:
Thank you for saying it, Mark. I just didn't want to let the kids down with my coaching decisions.
Why don't the IG models smile?
- Tom from Tampa wonders:
Is Mikayla Demaiter unhappy as she looks in all the photo's? Does she ever smile?
Don't get me wrong she is STUNNING, but looks so depressed.
Kinsey:
I did some research into this topic because so many of you have asked it over the years. According to the Internet experts, models don't smile very often because they've been trained to believe that "smiling is seen as a distraction" and that smiling can "draw attention to themselves from the clothes" they're modeling.
Look, I didn't make up the rules of the trade. They've been passed down.
The New York Times addressed this question last year. "Michael Kors used to have posters backstage scrawled with phrases like ‘own the room’ and ‘walk like you mean it’ to inspire his models," the newspaper reported. "That kind of pantomiming doesn’t always come with a beaming face. Smiling can make one seem like a supplicant, and fashion is supposed to make you feel powerful in your skin."
The Instagram algorithm is in my favor right now because these three memes popped up this morning on the feed
All three of these hit me and I don't even eat tomatoes. Mrs. Screencaps gives me her tomato updates on a daily basis. Last night, she was asking me about a new position for her potted tomato plant.
Meanwhile, I was focused on my arbs. Fingers crossed, but I have had total success with the row of 12 that I planted back in April/May. Those are my babies. I need them to grow big and strong.
I don't know if we're actually BACK BACK to posting sunsets, but I'll allow it here and there to mix up the content from around the world
- Mickey C. in the Philippines writes:
Long time to email … been quietly enjoying Screencaps, Nightcaps, and - a new favorite - The Gripe Report.
Since we’re back to sunset pics, here’s one from a recent trip to Hong Kong. The missus and I lived there for the first 10 years of marriage so it was a bit of sentimental trip for us.
Stay classy!

Kinsey:
If you guys aren't reading The Gripe Report from OutKick's Matt Reigle, you should fit it into your routine, if possible. Matt specializes in mundane gripes. We're not talking big brain, political gripes or gripes about national policy. We're talking about things like emptying a dishwasher or a gripe on roundabouts.

Finding your healing waters

It’s been over a month but that’s what summer and vacation travel brings.
Paul Skene’s eventually to the Yankees is pretty sad and too bad for small market teams.
We don’t need AI generated IG talent, we have it in the greatest country in the world and worldwide.
Alternative news sites, I recommend throwing on BBC News here and there to gain a better perspective of world events.

I think the purple pillow (not sponsored) is the next ideal purchase for the wife who’s constantly in search of the perfect pillow.

How to properly use the soaker setting on a garden hose
- Jim M. says this is how it's done:
Guy asked a couple weeks ago what u use soaker for. Here's the answer. When it's 94 degrees and u have to water on the garden, put the hose on soaker and u can just sit back and watch and crank down a few Natty's. It helps I designed it slightly downhill. So I can just drop hose.

The art of the pre-vacation mow
- Indy Daryl reports:
Head to the healing waters of northern Wisconsin this afternoon for some much need rest, relaxation, and nature time. Didn’t want to let the grass be too overgrown when we got back 12 days later, thus I went with the pre-vacation mow. Glad I did since the storms that rolled through here this morning we quite intense and wouldn’t have allowed for a solid mow today. I’ll report back on the healing waters of Boot Lake later this week! Have a great day

That's it. I need to run. I have a plumber coming over within the next hour to fix a problem and hopefully make Mrs. Screencaps' life much easier in the garden.
Go have an incredible day.
