Jim Remsik, founder of Flagrant and organizer of XORuby, joins David to talk about what he's learned from taking a Ruby conference on the road. XORuby was designed around a simple premise: traditional conferences are valuable, but travel costs, time away from work, and family responsibilities put them out of reach for many developers. Jim explains how XORuby tries to lower those barriers with inexpensive, one-day regional events—and why he measures their success as much by first-time attendees, new speakers, friendships, and community connections as by the financial bottom line. The conversation turns to Flagrant and the rapidly changing role of AI in software development. Jim discusses the company's decision to invest more heavily in design, the difference between simply having access to AI tools and actually building an effective AI-assisted development workflow, and a recent project where careful preparation helped his team deliver roughly 700 cards in eight weeks. Finally, Jim and David explore the increasingly difficult problem of building local developer communities. With meetups struggling, online communities fragmented across Slack and Discord, and developers finding technical content everywhere, they consider what actually motivates people to leave the house and spend time together—and where XORuby might go next.

We're back with Part 2 of Rule 9 on Whistle Talk!Episode 2 picks up immediately with one of the most important safety-related areas of Rule 9: illegal helmet contact.Mike D and Coach Chip discuss initiating contact with the helmet, butt-blocking, face tackling, spearing, and targeting. Coach Chip also looks back at how blocking techniques were taught when he played and how the rules have evolved to better protect players. Illegal helmet contact carries a 15-yard personal foul.The conversation then moves through a long list of Rule 9 personal fouls, including:Horse-collar tacklesBlind-side blocksTrippingRoughing the passerRunning into the kicker or holderRoughing the kickerRoughing the snapperThe guys take a particularly close look at roughing the passer, including when contact after the pass becomes a foul and why certain illegal personal-contact fouls against the passer can result in an automatic first down.Mike D also explains one of his most important responsibilities as an umpire: protecting the snapper on field goals, extra points, and other scrimmage kicks. He breaks down what constitutes an initial charge into the snapper and what contact is simply the result of another play developing.The episode then moves into flagrant personal fouls, disqualifications, and the process some states use to determine whether a disqualification results in a suspension for the next contest.From there, Mike D and Coach Chip discuss unsportsmanlike conduct, including profanity, gestures, excessive celebrations, and the difference between a first and second unsportsmanlike conduct foul.The second half of the episode dives into substitutions and illegal participation, including:Replaced playersSubstitutesIllegal substitutionIllegal participationTwelve players on the fieldPlayers intentionally leaving and returning to the fieldPunt gunners who are blocked out of boundsPlayers continuing after their helmet comes offDisqualified players remaining in the team areaCoach Chip also shares some great stories involving creative—and sometimes questionable—substitution and participation tactics from the past.The final portion of Rule 9 covers illegal kicking, batting, restricted-area violations, sideline control, unfair acts, and the 2026 Point of Emphasis regarding sideline control.00:00 – Illegal helmet contact01:30 – Spearing, butt-blocking and targeting02:00 – Personal-foul signals03:00 – Horse-collar tackles05:00 – Blind-side blocks08:00 – Tripping09:00 – Roughing the passer12:00 – Running into vs. roughing the kicker15:00 – Roughing the snapper19:00 – Flagrant personal fouls23:00 – Unsportsmanlike conduct30:00 – Illegal substitutions36:00 – Illegal participation43:00 – Players leaving and returning to the field48:00 – Illegal kicking and batting52:00 – Restricted area and sideline control56:00 – Unfair acts58:00 – Wrapping up Rule 9Rule 9 is about more than personal fouls. It's about player safety, sportsmanship, proper substitution, participation, and maintaining control of the game.Mike D and Coach Chip bring real-world examples and stories to the rules, helping coaches and officials understand not just what the rule says, but what to look for when it happens on the field.If you're an official, coach, player, or serious football fan, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Subscribe, like, and follow Whistle Talk for more NFHS football rule breakdowns, officiating discussions, and conversations with coaches and officials.Sponsored by RefShop.usUse code TALK26 at checkout for 10% off your officiating equipment and uniform order.
Penn State fraternities were running an organized cocaine trafficking operation — and one of the defendants is somebody's dad. A 12-year-old girl from Alabama just tied Mo'ne Davis's all-time Little League World Series strikeout record. The Women's Professional Baseball League played its first games in 70 years and nobody's talking about it enough. Caitlin Clark is still getting hit and the WNBA is still fumbling the officiating response. The Red Sox went from 15 games back to a wild card spot on the back of a franchise-record win streak, the Orioles went on a tear of their own, and then Baltimore turned around and traded their franchise catcher to Boston. The team they were chasing. In the same division. What We Cover This Episode Penn State Frat Cocaine Ring Pennsylvania's attorney general charged 14 people connected to a cocaine-trafficking operation running out of two Penn State fraternity houses. This was not a party gone wrong. The AG described it as an upper-level trafficking organization. Two frat members were making regular supply runs to Philadelphia and New York. Pledges were used as labor to cut and package the product. And one of the defendants is a student's father, charged with hiding a safe full of drugs and cash to obstruct the investigation. Delta Upsilon is on interim suspension. Sigma Chi was already not a recognized organization on campus. Thomas Robinson thought his arrest was a prank. It was not a prank. The detail that takes this from news story to full segment: the AG said that for some pledges, cutting and packaging cocaine was their indoctrination into the fraternity. That sentence deserves its own moment. Women's Professional Baseball League — Inaugural Season The WPBL played its first games on August 1. Four teams. All games at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. Streaming on ESPN+. This is the first professional women's baseball league since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954. The No. 1 pick in the inaugural draft was Kelsie Whitmore, a two-way standout who went to the San Francisco Firebells. Mo'ne Davis, 24 years old, was drafted by the Los Angeles Queens. If you watched her pitch at the 2014 Little League World Series, this moment is going to hit you. The league was co-founded by Justine Siegal, the first woman to ever coach for an MLB organization. The regular season runs through September 6. Women have been playing baseball since 1875. This is not a novelty. It is a revival. Little League World Series — Kinley Rasmus Kinley Rasmus is 12 years old, from Phenix City, Alabama, and she just tied Mo'ne Davis's record for the most strikeouts by a female pitcher in Little League World Series history. Six innings. One hit. Eight strikeouts. Zero runs. Alabama lost 2-0 because they couldn't score behind her. She pitched a complete game shutout and took the loss. That is the most baseball thing that has ever happened. She threw 81 pitches, which means she can't pitch again this tournament under LLWS rules. She's still on the field at shortstop and already went viral for a defensive play in the same game. Her dad is former MLB pitcher Cory Rasmus. Her uncle is former outfielder Colby Rasmus. Her other uncle, Case Rasmus, is the team's head coach. This is a baseball family. The nickname circulating on SportsCenter: "Fear the bow." She pitches with a big white bow in her hair. WNBA Roundup The Indiana Fever went 2-1 this week and are pushing for a playoff spot. Caitlin Clark is still in the middle of the biggest officiating controversy the WNBA has had in years. Five technical fouls on the season, including one for clapping. Alyssa Thomas hit her in the throat on a dead ball and nothing was called in real time. The WNBA later reviewed it, upgraded it to a Flagrant 2, and suspended Thomas. The Fever's appeal on the clapping technical is still pending. Beyond Indiana, the Atlanta Dream are the most fun team in the league right now. They dropped 124 points on the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. That is not a misprint. The Las Vegas Aces are dangerous again after hammering Connecticut 101-78. The Minnesota Lynx are 4-1 over their last five and making a quiet playoff push. And the Portland Fire, a first-year expansion team, beat both Seattle and Phoenix this week. MLB — The Red Sox and Orioles Post-All-Star Tear The Red Sox entered the All-Star break on a 9-game winning streak. They came out of it and immediately swept the Tampa Bay Rays in four games. The streak hit 13 straight — the longest in franchise history since 1948 and tied for second-longest ever. At the peak, Boston was 50-48 and sitting in the AL's third wild card spot. They were 15 games back in late June. The Orioles went on a 7-game win streak of their own, sweeping the Houston Astros before rolling into Fenway Park. Two teams combined for 20 consecutive wins walking into the same series. Boston won Game 1 to push to 14 straight. AL East standings as of August 22: Tampa Bay Rays: 76-52 (1st) New York Yankees: 73-56 (2nd) Boston Red Sox: 69-59 (3rd, Wild Card) Toronto Blue Jays: 64-67 (4th) Baltimore Orioles: 62-67 (5th) Boston is scoring 5.76 runs per game since the break. That is the best mark in all of baseball. MLB Trade — Adley Rutschman from Baltimore to Boston On August 3, the trade deadline, the Baltimore Orioles traded Adley Rutschman to the Boston Red Sox. Their AL East rival. The team chasing them in the standings. Rutschman was the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, a three-time All-Star, and the face of the Orioles' rebuild. He had one year left before free agency and had never signed an extension. Baltimore already had Samuel Basallo locked up for eight years at $67 million and posting 16 home runs this season. So they sold Rutschman while they still could. What Baltimore got back: Boston's No. 2 prospect (MLB Pipeline Top 50), plus three other top-5 org prospects, catcher Carlos Narvaez, and a player to be named later who turned out to be outfielder Harold Rivas. What Boston got: the best defensive catcher in baseball and an immediate upgrade at a position where they ranked last in MLB in home runs. The detail that makes this trade genuinely wild: Boston swept Baltimore in the series right before the deadline while Rutschman was out injured. The Red Sox were 23-3 since July 2. They were already the hottest team in baseball. Then they bought the franchise player from the team they just swept. Three days later.

DiJonai Carrington bloodied Sophie Cunningham's mouth — Flagrant 2, ejected — and Stephanie White softened intent for the aggressor. This is the same Fever coach who lectured America about racism and homophobia after Alyssa Thomas drove a fist into Caitlin Clark's throat. The WNBA should suspend Carrington. Indiana should fire White. Monica McNutt's “sisterhood.” Jemele Hill and Cari Champion on one line. Andraya Carter's phony fairness. Syd Colson's “trans foul.” WHITE PRIVILEGE after the blood. This is the caste system inside the WNBA — who gets protected, who gets sorted, and why the enforcers still have jobs. Fearless.

New York ran through the Eastern Conference like a freight train, sweeping both the 76ers and the Cavaliers before closing out San Antonio in five. This is one of the most significant NBA championships in the past two decades and the city of New York is still celebrating.

This week she picked up her fifth technical foul of the season for clapping and was later punched in the throat during a play with no foul called in real time. The WNBA eventually suspended Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas and upgraded the foul to a Flagrant 2 — but the damage was already done, and the internet had already seen everything.

USA beat Paraguay 4-1 in their opener — one of the strongest competitive performances in years USA beat Australia in Game 2 to clinch the group Final group game: Lost 3-2 to Turkey (already eliminated, Pochettino rested starters) — Christian Pulisic came on in the 58th minute returning from a calf injury 7 goals in the group stage ties the USMNT record before knockout play Round of 32: USA vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina — next up The expanded 48-team World Cup already set the record for most combined goals in tournament history International fan reactions: Scotland's Tartan Army played bagpipes in a Boston neighborhood at 6:30am — neighbors loved it Pre-tournament concerns about immigration enforcement, ticket prices ($11,000 for Finals seats), and boycott calls have largely given way to an overwhelmingly positive on-the-ground experience Tennis — Serena Williams Returns to Wimbledon Singles Serena Williams, 44, has accepted a wildcard to compete in the 2026 Wimbledon singles draw — her first singles match at a Grand Slam since the 2022 US Open.

The past week has featured a number of rather important sports stories. Some are quite newsworthy and will have lasting impact. Others seem to be overblown stories being pushed by the media just to meet deadline requirements. How do you view these stories? News or Snooze? Oklahoma Sooners downed North Carolina to claim the men’s College World Series title A: Newsworthy The SEC just won its seventh consecutive men’s College World Series baseball title after unseeded Oklahoma blasted the favored and #5 seed North Carolina Tar Heels 13-2 on Monday night in Omaha. OU’s “Slugging Sooners” K-O’d every opponent they faced during the postseason in their unprecedented march to college baseball’s national title. Oklahoma barely made it into the NCAA 64-team tournament field. OU finished in 11th place in the SEC regular season with a lowly 14-16 conference record. The Sooners took advantage of their good fortune to make the college baseball playoffs and took down #2 seed Georgia Tech in Atlanta in the opening round. They next traveled to #15 Kansas in the Super Regionals and swept the Jayhawks right out of the tournament. In Omaha, OU took down #7 Alabama and #3 Georgia to earn a spot in the best-of-three title series against #5 North Carolina. Yes, Oklahoma definitely caught fire at the right time of the season. It was their first baseball title since 1994. Well done, Sooners! Last week, troubled college QB Brendan Sorsby entered the NFL Supplemental Draft. This week, the NFL canceled their own Supplemental Draft. A: Snooze worthy I just can’t muster up a lot of tears for either Brendan Sorsby or Texas Tech right now. If anyone was wearing the black hat this week, it was definitely the NFL. Brendan Sorsby (as we’ll explain later) made a timely application to the NFL before the league’s Monday, June 22 deadline to enter the Supplemental Draft. On Tuesday, the pro football league completely hosed this young man by abruptly canceling its annual Supplemental Draft. The event is normally conducted in August for a handful of eligible football players who did not participate in April’s seven-round selection process. As you may recall, Brendan Sorsby was the young man who admitted to betting on college football games (including those of his own team) along with many other sports. This spring, he acknowledged having a gambling addiction and went away for counseling and treatment. Upon completion of the program, the NCAA ruled that Sorsby was still ineligible to play football this fall at Texas Tech as an incoming transfer student. Sorsby then sued the NCAA in a final attempt to regain his eligibility. With unprecedented speed, a court in northwest Texas ruled that Brendan Sorsby could, indeed, play football this fall for the Red Raiders. His trial vs. the NCAA was generously moved to begin during February, 2027 (long after this year’s football season ends). The Big 12 Conference objected, too. They wanted Sorsby banned this season for breaking the rules on gambling. The conference met to determine an appopriate punishment for Texas Tech if Sorsby hit the field this fall for the Red Raiders. Sorsby (as we predicted) did the right thing last week. He said adios to Texas Tech and declared his intention to participate in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft. The NFL then pulled the rug on this event and left Sorsby homeless (football-wise) for this fall. Don’t feel sad for Brendan Sorsby, though. Texas Tech (whose athletics program is supported by several wealthy energy leaders) agreed to pay the young man the estimated $5 million his 2026 NIL deal is worth anyway. Invest it well, young man! Speaking of drafts, the NBA held its annual player draft this week A: Snooze worthy Quick! Tell me the first round NBA selection made by your favorite NBA team on Tuesday night. Even many of the players being selected during the first and second rounds of the NBA Draft didn’t even know where they would be playing. That’s because an incredible 27 of the 60 players taken in Rounds 1 and 2 of the NBA Draft were immediately traded by the team which had just selected them. What’s going on here? The first 12 selections in Round 1 will be playing (for now) for the teams which drafted them. Ten of the next 18 players selected were shipped to another team moments after receiving a ceremonial team cap and shaking NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s hand on-stage. Round 2 was an even bigger mess. A total of 17 of the 30 players (57%) picked in the second round were immediately traded to another team. Outside of the first 12 players selected in Round 1, the majority of basketball players picked in this week’s NBA Draft apparently were not highly coveted. Cheap advice – Keep your bags packed! The NCAA recommends college athletes be allowed to play for five seasons over five years?!! A: Newsworthy College athletes have long been given four years of athletic eligibility to participate in varsity athletics. A flawed concept called taking a “red shirt” was used to allow underutilized players (generally freshmen) to participate in team practices for an extra year prior to playing in games. This concept kept getting pushed to the limits. Players injured before the midway point in a season started requesting the NCAA to grant them an extra year of eligibility. This week, the NCAA’s Division 1 Cabinet issued a proposed rule change to make this issue much simpler (we hope). The athlete will be allowed five years to participate in college athletics from the earlier of the date of full-time enrollment or the academic year following his/her 19th birthday. This “Five in Five” concept is expected to begin this fall. Yes, it means that a healthy athlete could (potentially) play five consecutive years of major college athletics. The NCAA has finally acted on a relevant issue for college athletics. Unsurprisingly, there has already been some legal pushback filed by players. Stay tuned to see if this change to college athletics is actually implemented this fall. The PGA Tour announced some radical changes to its structure beginning in 2028 A: Newsworthy LIV Golf has been criticized by many, but the upstart league has forced the stodgy PGA Tour to make some radical changes. The PGA Tour announced on Tuesday that there will be two “tracks” for top pro golfers beginning in the year 2028. A new “Championship” division will feature up to 24 tournament events from February through August. This grouping will feature the top 100 ranked golfers playing 72 holes with a 36-hole cut (as before). The prize money in these events will total at least $20 million. There will also be a new “Challenger” level that will play at least 20 events from February through August. These will have larger fields (144 golfers) and 36-hole cuts, but the tournament prize money will be about $4 million per event. Players who win two tournaments in one season at the “Challenger” level will immediately be promoted up to the Championship division. Golfers in the Championship upper division who finish their season ranked #91-100 will be demoted to the Challenger level for the following year. More details are expected to be announced in the coming months. This announcement quietly confirms that the PGA Tour continues to struggle attracting its top golfers to appear in some of its mid-level tournaments. Those events usually offer a lower payout than average, too. In case you were wondering, LIV Golf (which might fold at any time) is paying its golfers a total tournament purse of $30 million in 2026. However, LIV Golf is only playing 14 tournaments worldwide this year. Caitlin Clark’s latest WNBA assailant gets suspended for one game A: Snooze worthy Many fans of the Women’s NBA (WNBA) want to watch the talented scoring outside shooting machine named Caitlin Clark produce plenty of points like the NBA’s Steph Curry. The WNBA’s television ratings and attendance rise whenever third-year shooting guard Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever is featured on national TV or playing in an opponent’s arena. Unfortunately, many players in the WNBA just don’t like Clark. Some have made her life exceedingly difficult by playing excessively physical defense against the 6′ shooting guard. The number of dirty plays involving Caitlin Clark on the receiving end are becoming far too commonplace in the WNBA. Worse yet, the three referees on the court are letting a lot of the rough play go without even blowing their whistles. Can you imagine if talented NBA offensive stars such as Pistol Pete Maravich or Larry Bird were being routinely mugged and injured by opposing players? The men’s pro basketball league understood the value which those stars brought to their league. On the other hand, the WNBA doesn’t seem to have a clue. Another scary moment involving Caitlin Clark (fifth in the WNBA in scoring at 21 points/game) occurred Wednesday night as the Indiana Fever played the Phoenix Mercury. Clark was tripped while handling the basketball. As she laid on the floor, Phoenix forward Alyssa Thomas (who is listed at 6’2” and weighs 202 pounds according to the WNBA website) “recklessly made contact with her fist to the throat area of Caitlin Clark.” That quote was issued by the league AFTER the game when this play was reviewed. For her part, Alyssa Thomas was assessed a Level 2 Flagrant foul and then received a one game suspension. Question: How could three highly trained WNBA referees miss all of that mayhem on the floor? What were they looking at? Or, perhaps, were they instructed before the game to overlook it? None of the officials blew a whistle on the play despite the rather obvious unnecessary roughness imparted by Caitlin Clark’s opponents. Whether the WNBA players like Caitlin Clark or not, they better hope that she doesn’t vanish to play go basketball in Europe next season. If that she should leave, fan interest in the WNBA may quickly revert back to the mediocre levels it had before Clark entered the league just three years ago. *Ol’ SwampSwami and his long-suffering sports wife will be out next week babysitting a couple of our energetic grandsons in N.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 8th session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. Deception by Omission: A serious exploration of prisons and Racism must account for the systemic forces that built them. This book's failure to center COINTELPRO, the torture legacy of Chicago's Jon Burge, or the raw profitability of caging Black men suggests Alexander is guilty of a whole lot of lying. Last week's review included: 1. The "Basically" Deception & The Audio Patch: Alexander claims the 10th Anniversary edition is "basically" the same book. Yet, each week listeners stumble into brand-new pages of text offering substantially alternate information from what Alexander previously scrawled. 2. Undermining Her Own Thesis: While most edits involve new content, last week revealed a rare deletion from the 10th-anniversary edition. The original version notes “racial bias in a system that purports to be colorblind.” The term purport suggests White people are not vision-restricted, but rather, willfully focused on caging infinite numbers of Black men. Removing this sentence suggests Alexander is aware of the lies she's peddling. 3. Sleeping With The Prosecutor: Alexander details the life-altering power and discretion prosecuting attorneys wield over non-white defendants. Because of this, listeners questioned why the author failed to disclose her husband Carter Stewart's extensive prosecutorial conduct, and how his career affirms the very system she critiques. #COINTELPRO #TheRedboneDeception #BillCosby #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

A long time ago, in a podcast feed far, far away...*cue the music* THE WANGER SHOWEPISODE CDXLVI (WE GOOGLED THAT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE ROMAN NUMERALS RIGHT)It's a tumultuous time in Wanger Show land. Ever since we posted the RESIDENT EVIL short from last week, people are STILL commenting and giving their very original opinion that the new movie shouldn't be called Resident Evil if they're not going to explicitly tell the EXACT same story from the video games. CODY has found this whole situation hilarious, while CHRISTIAN still claims to be too old to care about any of this, and BRIAN is nowhere to be found...Elsewhere, the new motion picture HOKUM has awakened a new fear in audiences: really well done WIDE SHOTS. Both Christian and Cody saw the film, and are excited to give their thoughts on said spooky wide shots...In the sports world, the LAKERS survived the ridiculous FLAGRANT 2 call on DEANDRE AYTON in game 4 and bounced back to win the series. While they will no doubt be obliterated by the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER in the next round, this past series gave us some fun LEBRON meme moments. But back to STAR WARS. Today is May the 4th, which means it's time to rip the band-aid off and embark on our most controversial ranking yet. That's right, tonight we are going to be ranking the STAR WARS motion pictures. I'm sure the comments will be very civil..........(this is the part where the crawl disappears into space and we tilt down or some sh*t)GET TICKETS TO WANGERS KARAOKE 2026 HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wangers-karaoke-2026-tickets-1708787131309?aff=oddtdtcreator
