Refs just ignoring jacquez hacking the shit out of Maxey every time down

If these guys had even the tiniest shred of capability for self-reflection they’d realize they were used as props by people who are literally putting words in their mouths but alas

I've found my favorite transfer of the 2026 cycle. Most impressive of all: He's probably about 20 years old, which means he got this name like 3 years into LeBron's career!!

Look at how empty the stands are for this game in Buffalo. In WEEK 5! Man, things have really changed in 50 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj70...

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

lol travel?!!!?!!!

Duke benefitting from a questionable call getting a key player into foul trouble. some things are just timeless

February 21, 2001: This sequence from New Jersey's Stephon Marbury. Marbury finished with 35 PTS (10-19 FG/4-7 3P)/14 AST and Keith Van Horn added 28 PTS in the Nets' 113-111 win over the Raptors. Vince Carter had a game-high 39 PTS for Toronto.

If a team owner says they don’t have $50 million more to pay players while coughing up $75 million to break players, shouldn’t that be a tell? How is it remotely possible to defend these people?

A great tidbit from Jason Kendall’s first spring training. 😂 I really enjoyed chatting with Kendall for my “Called Up” book. I recently revisited his interview and couldn’t resist sharing this gem.

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the release of "Blazing Saddles," the plot of which involves business and political interests leveraging ordinary people's bigotry in an effort to obtain power and financial gain. People like to say that that movie couldn't be made today. Shit, we're living it.
