final lebron related thought before I go on break for a bit - the Warriors thing feels like its got too much smoke again. i think Cleveland is the favorite still, but then GSW and PHI before MIN. MIN chances down to 15%. I just have such a hard time with the Miami on court fit. cant see it.

as I thought... they played like they had way too much to prove suddenly, like they had to win 3-0 to prove their worth. every touch was heavy as hell.

As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.

given the amount of time LeBron is taking, you know, here’s what I’ll say - if he were picking Minnesota, it‘d make sense to wait until after the LeMelo introduction

i just don't buy the saints number. also I'm pretty sure the dolphins will be worse than New York but I can see how the system gets there.

i mean all you can do is laugh and hope no one you like dies

god could you imagine how unhinged the meeting where they came up with this idea was

internals are always about money.

I'll just say that, since this is a public Dem internal, you don't raise money by saying you're up 10%.

a great sentence in a great story lmao

They have to pretend but literally nothing has happened to back this up data wise

20% tax on Saudi oil you say?

Following a brief bout of being annoyed with the World Cup results, I have decided that getting to see the best 4 teams in the world compete for the title is good, actually. www.thetransferflow.com/p/hey-jude-d...

The way the night sky looked

one major problem here is that Catholic political thought gets read into the same political continuum as Protestant political thought, so people don't think more deeply about how Hegseth's pastor fucking hates Catholics

atrocious shot clock violation in the Tempo/Liberty game that leads to a six point swing, man almighty

"more dangerous than you think" implying it is more dangerous than the most dangerous shit I can think of

the Russians totally got graham right? some delayed poison? I'm sure some SVR or GRU guy had a personal vendetta against him

too early to math. but if you assume McConnell is never coming back, the Senate GOP can only lose two votes

I'm in Iowa, I'm excited to elect Rob Sand and Josh Turek. If you live in even someplace like Colorado, you should not be electing Rob Sand and Josh Turek

I actually knew who Bunnie XO was because her book has been selling very well. Feel up to date on things one (1) time

they were the worse team for the first 75, probably 40% to lose at that point in a 2 outcome situation (a tie at that point was fair imo). after 75 they kicked enormous amounts of ass lol

Fotmob has England with 2.5 xGOT on 0.7 xG in extra time. Outrageous finishing, despite the gaffe Nyland was on his head

There would be no better encapsulation of Trump’s America than England winning the world cup on American soil in America’s 250th

Wow nailed it haha

Hate to admit it but absolute shivers from Wonderwall

England were the better team all around but its a tough pill for Norway to swallow that most of the coin flip calls went England's way too

if the ref stops play for the goalkeeper they should have to play without a man for a minute plus

what is the logic for taking away corners but not giving them

the global spread of basketball is pretty remarkable in how *fast* it has happened

they dont, but they have That Man so all it takes is one miscue from England

cape Verde never got the analytical revolution and it made them better

so if theres a red card and penalties, the team with 11 has to choose a guy who doesnt shoot. but if its 11 on 11 and a guy gets hurt - I assume he has to shoot or forfeit his shot.

Norway clearly the better team right now. not by much, but there is not an argument for england

let it rip dude

(LLMs can do this for you)

has nothing to do with the game but I think I'm gonna get this shirt

wow we get VAR for all sorts of shit but not the cable

lol assistant referee perfectly on screen for that

Jude cripes man

Stu is right, Stones was crazy there. You gotta do *something* but that was tough

VAR is out of control. The fact we even had to think about that coming off the board is a crime.

“A bolt of lightning on the clear Florida sky” WHAT A CALL

(still would have been a drag in this weather)

There are incredible new cancer drugs every year that are showing promise at defeating cancers that were previously guaranteed death sentences — and the Trump administration is doing everything it can to illegally kill the grants that fund the research. MAHA indeed!

I’ve walked or driven past the Vesterheim probably more than 100 times in my life and never stopped in. Go norway I guess

@rbsdm.com Random Q - on the RBSDM box scores, do penalties that cost EP count in a team's total EPA, even if a play technically doesnt happen? like, does an offensive holding call on a run play count against a team's rushing EPA even if its not technically a "play"? same with, say, DPI.

fantastic 4th by McBride to be them over the line
