The Mets made a cute strikeout graphic and it went horribly wrong

Oh, nobody thought this one through.

Everybody has done something at work they didn’t really think through, but it’s not often that it happens in front of a full baseball stadium. Unfortunately for the New York Mets that’s exactly what occurred on Tuesday night at Citi Field for their game against the Pirates.

Oh this is unfortunate...

ZTEs new U.S.-bound phone is a teaser for the iPhone 18

China's ZTE's got a new flagship phone, the ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra, and it's coming to the U.S. So what does that have to do with the iPhone 18? Hear me out.

Justin Thomas deserves more talk ahead of the PGA Championship.

Ask the obvious question and you will get one of three possible answers.

Question: Who do you think is going to win the PGA Championship?

Answer: It’s either going to be Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy or Bryson DeChambeau.
