Any hints at what it might be?

Pretty sure it’s a idiot. There’s a bunch of them up in the Northeast.

Jane Goodall would slap the taste out of your mouth for comparing apes to this monster.

It’s exactly what it looks like

Excellent bit in The Athletic’s power rankings:

“ If you’re reading this, you’ve probably just been offered a contract extension by Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos.”

It looks like a link to a tweet with no point of reference, which isn’t particularly helpful to those of us who cannot see links to tweets or the images contained therein. But I’ll assume it was something particularly egregious and I can follow up on via Fox News later tonight.

That was going to be my next guess.

So in my OWA that video is playable without leaving the site.

Likewise I see the full text of regular tweets.

Do non Twitter account havers just see the url?

I am not a Twitter user, and I can see posted tweets and play embedded videos, although doing so takes me to the Twitter site. If I scroll from there and try to follow the Twitter stream I get blocked with a “sign in or sign up” screen.

I don’t know. Twitter is blocked on my work internet connection, so all I see is the url and whatever description one posts.

Harry Caray thinking about streaking the crowd

70’s were a different time altogether :slight_smile:

By the look of it too, might have been St. Louis as I seem to remember old Busch Stadium had that shape (please correct me if I am off)…Could be Philly too.

All that Cubs baseball does things to a man.

I remember one time, must have been late 70s or early 80s when he started singing on air. It was about Jody Davis (catcher) on the Cubs — and he sang about him with the intensity a little dude like me would not pick up, being 3 sheets to the wind. “Jody… Jody Davis… hitter extraordinaire” — everyone in the room except my grandmother was laughing, as she was a cubs fan. Had no idea that Caray was blotto.

Good times

I love the fish net casually propped out the window in case a ball is fouled straight back.

Yep, that was the second Busch Stadium.
