“Sit Your A** At Home”: Ex-MLB Pro Takes a Sharp Dig at Ketel Marte After His Casino Night Goes Viral
Wednesday August 26, 2026 (9:45 am EDT)
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte last week was spotted sitting at a casino game table in Scottsdale while he was on the injury list. The problem: He failed to communicate with the team prior to a "no show" and was supposed to be rehabbing his injured knee...at home. "He's free to do whatever he wants," manager Torey Lovullo said following Friday's game (via the Arizona Republic). "That's how I look at it. As long as he wakes up tomorrow morning and posts, and gets his work done at Salt River, which I am certain he will, that's all that matters to me right now." Former Major League Baseball player Jason Kipnis offered a harsher assessment while appearing on a recent Foul Territory podcast. Jason Kipnis said: “He’s going a little bit unchecked because you need someone to sell him just to hate sit your a– at home or in the dugout. Those are your two options. Why? Because if you don’t, and you go to a casino, it’s gonna look terrible. You’re gonna have shows like us talking about you in an unneeded coverage.”

Darline Graham Wins South Carolina as GOP Senate Runoff Betting Coverage Goes Viral
Wednesday August 26, 2026 (9:45 am EDT)
Darline Graham traffic was insane Tuesday with Betonline offering odds on South Carolina's GOP Senate runoff race. Darline Graham won the Republican nomination to replace her late brother on South Carolina’s general election ballot, notching another win for President Donald Trump after he threw his support behind the political novice. Graham, who was a favorite to win at BetOnline, defeated U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman in Tuesday’s special Republican primary runoff, two weeks after they were the top two finishers in a 10-way primary. Despite being a political unknown, Graham bested some of South Carolina’s top political names in the special election spun up after Lindsey Graham’s sudden death last month. She was appointed by Gov. Henry McMaster to serve out the remaining months of her late brother’s current term and swiftly won an endorsement from Trump, who encouraged her to enter the race for a full term and campaigned for her in the state last week. Graham got emotional while addressing her supporters Tuesday night, saying she misses her brother every day. “The past few weeks have been an unbelievably challenging time for our family, but you know what? We did it,” she said.
