Knicks media day has concluded; column coming later. Not too many posts thanks to abysmal Wi-Fi. I really liked how Mikal Bridges' shoes stuck out of the bottom of the little table.

Here we go:

BUCK: welcome to Monday Night Football going out across the fractured and shattered united states. we'd especially like to welcome our newest viewers from the greater Omaha Demilitarized Zone who are joining us courtesy of the warlord Lord Bones, the Water Prophet. AIKMAN: Tremendous warlord, Joe.

Really felt connected to Jared Goff as he tried to signal to his running back to just go down, and then had to sheepishly throw his hands up when Montgomery scored. Like "yeah, I know it worked, but still, let's be careful out there"

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

No One On ‘Pat McAfee Show’ Notices A.J. Hawk Dead For Last 3 Days https://theonion.com/no-one-on-pat-mcafee-show-notices-a-j-hawk-dead-for-last-3-days/

VanVleet’s ACL injury calls into question the Rockets’ decision not to add ball-handling depth when filling out their roster this offseason. And because Houston is only $1.25M below the first apron hard cap, the team can't sign another PG barring a trade. www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

For everything else the Rockets do have, I'm not sure they have anyone else who does all of what VanVleet does. Really, really interested to see how much we see Amen at the point, and whether Reed Sheppard gets the minutes and can take advantage of them.

Excited for the Pacers-pilling of the NBA to hit the gas this season

Gotta say: the Rapture happening as I'm on my way to cover Knicks media day, not getting taken away, and still having to go to Tarrytown for pressers would make for a pretty wild birthday

a few months later, I find myself thinking that the part of EDDINGTON that scared me most might've been the final shot of the data center humming like it was going to swallow the town

“Welcome to the World Headquarters of Godzilla” is what I say when I back a chump down in the post

"THIS IS THAT MIGHTY DUCKS SHIT. THIS IS THAT AIR BUD FLOW."

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

Posted on TCM's YouTube channel two days ago. Good timing.

I'm just a caveman who fell in some ice and got thawed out by your scientists, but I think the main reason the rich guys tell us everything *must* be so jargon-y and arcane and that The Deal Space *must* be such a flooded zone, is so you don't see them hopping in the getaway car

thinking about the time my brother described "Summerteeth" by saying, "I mean, that's a Dan Devine-ass record" ... and friends, I'm here to tell you: he was right on www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLl7...

When a song is both "can't stop whistling it as I walk around the world"-catchy and "contains lyrics like 'it's so fuckin' tiring being tired all the time with no indication that it's ever gonna stop'"-sad ... brother, that's The Dan Devine Bullseye. open.spotify.com/track/7ATdjG...

I wrote about the controversy around Adam Silver's true but tone-deaf comments on the cost of watching the NBA in the new streaming environment. This is the weekly unlocked newsletter. www.teamziller.com/adam-silver-...

don’t write about this guy any more. he’s not doing anything interesting. write about anyone who’s living a human life

The basic problem here is that fascists do not want to live with you. This all presupposes democratic politics that they do not want to practice. There will be no reciprocity here, and if you act as if there will be if you avoid calling them fascists and venerate their martyrs, you‘ll get crushed.

🆕 BIG NUMBER: 9 🌉 @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social and I dig into the reason the Warriors' roster remains incomplete — their ongoing stalemate with Jonathan Kuminga — and consider some new on-court homes for the RFA forward! 🍎: tinyurl.com/3cr9pmpb ✳️: tinyurl.com/ycph4xvh 📺: youtu.be/563yw2OWZl4

The uniting theme of the supposed age of AI and the M&A/private equity apocalypse is that the world is controlled by people who literally cannot imagine ever deriving joy or meaning or satisfaction from any activity or pursuit for its own sake if it doesn't make money.

From yesterday, at Y! Sports: Wrote a little bit about rumblings of movement in the RFA stalemate between the Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga, and how tough it is for things to change when both the facts of the case and the feelings remain the same: yhoo.it/48h6Qe8

Woke up convinced that I had seen a thumbnail somewhere promoting Fall Out Boy covering "How It's Done" from KPop Demon Hunters on Fallon, but was soon met with the more troubling realization that my brain now works like a sort of algorithmic culture Mad Libs

From earlier today at Liberty practice. Breanna Stewart (left knee) did not participate and is a game-time decision. "She’s tough,” Brondello said. “... I think one of her superpowers is her mental toughness. If she’s able to go, she’ll go.” sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

I watched 8+ hours of basketball yesterday, and I have some thoughts on the winners, and what the losers need to do to win their respective game 2s. sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

I haven't felt emotionally attached to the Giants for a while, but the official time of death might have been ~9PM Saturday, when I saw a little kid in an Eagles jersey at an all ages show and consciously chose to say, "Go Birds." An unthinkable event during my youth; now, just a nice thing to do.

Here are my picks for the WNBA's end of the year awards along with my Yahoo Sports teammate @casnegley.bsky.social. To be clear, I do not have a ballot, and Cass does. sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

@drobertsimg.bsky.social called it so many years ago on Crawford. He knew what he was watching earlier than everyone else. Check the date. deadspin.com/bud-crawford...

I had honestly forgotten how restorative a show with incredibly positive vibes can be. If you have the chance to see this tour, do yourself a favor and get there. You will feel better afterward.

I bring a real "is he someone's dad or an undercover cop?" vibe to the PUP/Jeff Rosenstock show

@briancgrubb.bsky.social I believe you've already met my associate
