  1. strider back on the mound vs toronto today. two k’s in his first inning back.
  2. now that’s what i’m talking about. guys who’ve come up playing euro ball like this are not only generally much more fundamentally sound with higher basketball iq’s, but they won’t be affected by any college atmosphere they ever face. whether it’s a road game in league play or a final four game in a cavernous football stadium, the atmosphere will be *nothing* compared to what they’ve seen in european pro leagues. i’m always in favor of adding guys with that kind of experience.
  3. saying/believing that β€œdefense wins championships” is like saying/believing that three yards and a cloud of dust is the best way to win football games in 2025. it’s so beyond outdated and empirically just wrong, that any executive who’s still working under this assumption should be fired for cause. you know what wins championships? superstars. jokic, giannis, kawhi- they win championships. you had one of those guys, and you gave him away without even letting anyone know that he was available because β€œdefense wins championships.” fuck that. this doesn’t even add up. i sweatergawd it makes more sense that the whole β€œtanking the team so they can move to vegas” angle makes more sense than the entire mavs organization believing that β€œdefense wins championships” so fervently that they’d trade luka with no bidding war for a guy who’s been nicknamed β€œmr.glass.” just unreal.
  4. yeah you got it, it was just an SI bit that some writer was doing in the mid 90’s.
  5. i’m on episode three of Bad Influence: The Dark Side Of Kidfluencing
  6. my favorite carnac bit was from an issue of SI from back in like 1995-96: ”High and outside.” ”Describe JR Rider at a picnic.”
  7. it is in fact not a fact that this kid is a murderer. you not understanding the distinction between homicide and murder doesn’t change that.
  8. dyson daniels, zaccharie risacher, and jalen johnson is a really good start.
  9. is that a fact? have i made even one statement alleging or assuming his intent?
  10. and this is why the β€œguilty until presumed innocent” post was made. you don’t know that he murdered anyone, and until he’s convicted of murder, he’s not a murderer. this isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact. you not liking it doesn’t matter.
  11. he told the police he’d stabbed the other guy; that’s homicide, not murder. until he’s had a trial and been convicted, he’s not a murderer. it’s not slight nuance, it’s a major, distinctive difference.
  12. yeah, and if we could get all of hunter greene’s stats retroactively added to my box scores, k thx.
  13. shooter. now this is a popcorn flick. most of the people around here have bastardized the term β€œpopcorn flick” to simply refer to every terrible, unwatchable action movie, but this one actually meets the definition. it’s cheesier than hell (the two main characters are nick memphis and bob lee swagger? everyone in the movie besides markie mark has a deep south or appalachian accent? the hot chick speaks like a ranch hand from the late 19th century? so many unintentional laugh out loud moments), but the story is fun enough and interesting enough to keep you going. it’s a good movie to throw on tv on a sunday afternoon.

  16. and he’s going to get blown out in the mvp vote.
  17. in fact, the guy we needed already signed with tennessee. we don’t just need β€œa” point guard, we need a ready-made stud, preferably one who knows how to get to the line with frequency. i don’t know who’s still out there for the taking, but we need to be pulling in the best out there. so far it’s mostly just guys coming along with miller. need to see what he can actually pull from the portal when/where we need it.
  18. team definitely needs a floor leader. this will be the first big test to see what kind of NIL pull miller has here.
  19. β€œwe just want to get paid what we’re worth, and it’s coming.” this attitude is insane. wnba players already get paid *more* than they’re worth. they’ve been propped up and given handouts for years, and this is their attitude. we subsidize their league, we throw their shitty games on espn, we put their players in national ad campaigns for gatorade, nike, and new balance, all when there is *zero* public demand for any of this. they act like there’s some invisible machine that’s holding them down in fact the invisible machine has been propping them up in unserved ways for years. their shitty, selfish, entitled attitudes are such a turnoff, and at this point i’d love to just stop with the handouts and let the league see how it and its members thrive based only on what they actually deserve.
