  1. Portnoy is wasting his money. He lives in the Keys, likely in a gated community. Somebody would have to be really committed to harm him. There many, many cameras on the Seven Mile Bridge. The ferry requires a ticket. They’d catch the guy before he could get back to Miami. I’m sure FOX provides security when he’s location for Big Noon. Portnoy’s delivery on Wake Up Barstool is something else. He’s hungover every single Monday morning, and the only topic he’ll engage on is the Patriots or Michigan Football. Otherwise, he’s passively listening or trying to catch tropical birds that got into his house. Rolling out of bed 5 days a week to podcast in your Florida Keys mansion is a rough way to make a living.
  2. She cleans up very well. Married to a guy a slightly taller than Peter Dinklage.
  3. Loving the discussion, but Murray tore his ACL in January 2025. I think it’s a 2 year recovery to fully return. To 100%. That said, Murray at 80-90% is intriguing.
  4. While I’m sure Diabete is having fun banging out models on Air Force One, he must understand his mother is part of the hive mind. He was at the lunch in Bilbao. He heard Carol’s point about the shared consciousness. Ick dude.
  5. Will Stein, Hartline, or Brady would all kill there. So I hope they don’t hire any of them.
  6. He’s not a great shooter. No arguments there. I don’t know how to define his value statistically. Maybe the more statistically inclined could help me out and pull his career on/off stats. He’s a leader, a really good defender, he’s long for a PG, a winning player, a champion, and Olympic Gold Medalist. If he’s good enough to be on the US Olympic Team, I think the Rockets can squeeze him in.
  7. I guess an AD trade is very much non the table with his pal out in Dallas. Looking forward to the Kyrie work out /trade bait videos.Stay strong Rockets. Stay strong.
  8. Same. Really enjoying it. Shannon is great in everything and Tom Wambsgans is the perfect actor to portray Guiteau. Also Offerman’s best performance since Fargo S2. The man was born to portray to Guilded Age characters.
  9. Derrick White is one of the few names that makes sense. I wouldn’t make a move unless it’s a significant upgrade over Holiday with potential to completely replace FVV by 2026 or 2027. Names like Isaiah Collier or Tyrese Martin probably aren’t good enough.
  10. Wow. A comedian was appointed a regular tonight. It’s been a few years since that happened. Excellent set. Good for him.
  11. The Prestige TV podcast recap was pretty good. No Simmons, thank goodness. They basically summarize Gilligan’s interviews about the show with some theory talk.
  12. Nico and Dumont keep making dumb ass remarks that they’re in a 3 year window to win now. They also won the lottery out of the play in last year, so I think they’ll play out the string.
  13. Finally grew some balls, and made some real, cutting, topical jokes. Well done.
  14. Hoops Collective argued today that the Dallas should trade AD ASAP. They admitted it was unlikely because AD is tight with NIco. On the plus side, Dallas controls their first round pick in 2026 in a loaded draft. It’s not unpossible that they land another star to pair with Flagg.
  15. Injuries are never anything to sneer at, but Jalen strained his hamstring again on Sunday. Only played in 2 games this season.
  16. I’ll go ahead and say Sexton is still the king. Jimbo will all get every red cent of his aggy $77 million buyout, and he got $19.2 million of it within 60 days of his termination. aggy didn’t try anything cute because they’re desperately afraid of Sexton and raised the money. Kelly is playing a risky game, but this is likely his last stop so he has nothing to lose. Anything is possible in Louisiana state government. Would it surprise anyone if Landry held a presser tomorrow and said Kelly rejected our third and final offer, so we’re going to stop paying him? Armstrong should have structured the buyout with immediate cash up front.
  17. Does the thread think Amen has the skill set to be the primary ball handler? His best games have been playing off ball and cutting to the basket. Asking Segun to take the inbounds pass, dribble 80 feet, post up, and then whip it to Amen on a back door cut 30 times a game is heavy lift. Alpie is also the primary rim protector when Adams or Clint aren’t on the court. So Reed and Amen need to play off ball. That means KD or Alpie initiate the offense. Any half ass defensive team understands this and they’ve run 2 people at them in the back court to wear them out.
  18. It’s a really odd contract. Trace Armstrong is an outstanding agent, but he didn’t get a written buyout deadline from LSU. They can just pay him $800,000 every month until his contract expires. LSU and their regard attorney think this is their leverage, and why they expected Kelly to take $20-25 million in a lump sum. Kelly should reject any settlement. Make those regards pay.
  19. Great, but it’s not sustainable long term.
  20. I watched the dubbed version and it was extremely distracting.
  21. Davidson was the high point. Not great. Not one other memorable moment. Need a banger episode from Glenn Powell.
  22. While I love Reed’s progress, and agree we needed him desperately against the Bucks, he’s still playing off ball. He’s gotta at least help with some of the ball handling, taking it up the court, and imitating the offense. Their opponents are double/trapping Durant in the backcourt on many possessions. As pointed out upthread, that’s not going to work on 37 year old legs over a 100+ game season.
  23. Yeah they’re losing on the road to the Chiefs. KC is a black hole. Need to split with the Colts. Bills are at home. Thank goodness.
  24. A Gilligan adaptation of 3 Body Problem would have been incredible. Happy to get something that plays in the same sandbox.
