i love all these foods, the hell's wrong with you people

I fear I have reached the stage of my career where I want to start a newsletter/(alternative platform) substack. now all I need is for 10 of you to commit to a $100 monthly subscription so I can justify starting, please.

Can the Warriors recent success be attributed to better nutrition now that there is sufficient food in the family room following Jonathan Kuminga's exit? My column:

James Harden giving a pep talk to that bronze medal winning Olympic biathlete

today i learned that the guy on the cancel culture halftime show who sang about how he just wants to be able to mow his lawn and feed his dog and wear his boots named his child Trulee

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says. The full story: lataco.com/protest-bagp... By Julianne Le

fellow sportswriters: do you ever have someone say something objectively wrong with so much confidence that you have to do an embarrassing google/twitter search just to make sure something you know is false is actually false

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

The ex girlfriend is LA Sparks player Rickea Jackson, treated like an afterthought in these terrifying reports. www.local10.com/news/local/2...

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but lord Giannis looks awful in the Kalshi bs. Never good when the absolute best case, benefit of the doubt scenario is just being a hundred millionaire shilling for the grossest form of predatory gambling to date

this is a pet peeve i've had ever since that annoying song was released. why would you wait all day for sunday night? there's a full slate of morning games and afternoon games, plus the international game. you've had redzone on for 7 hours. you wait all day for monday night, not sunday.

99.9% of the time I do not care about celebrities and their personal lives so i am embarrassed to admit that I am deeply annoyed that lewis hamilton is dating kim k

Steve Kerr living his dream now

Over the last 6 quarters the Warriors have attempted 85 threes and 3 free throws.

Warriors just started a game in which Steph Curry isn't playing, by having 19 of their first 20 shots be threes

I hate the trade for Porziņģis, in case anyone was wondering

if the warriors really want to be light years they should just trade for shai gilgeous-alexander and nikola jokić, that would definitely make them title contenders

I wanna see this list. I’ve got questions. Like, for starters, am I on it

It only took a week after the athletic’s IDF propaganda piece for Netanyahu to write a public love letter to Avdija. I miss the simple days of no one attending Chris Paul’s holiday parties

Bookmarking this for when I need to tell my brother that I am not impressed with his Stanford education

It's morbidly comical and fitting that America is at war with itself because the government thinks immigrants are ruining the country, while corporations still need their non-American employees to explain why having a clean ass is a good thing

No-stats leaders entering 2/2/25 games: 0 points: Chris Mañon (14 mins) 0 rebs: Tyson Etienne (34 mins) 0 assists: E.J. Liddell (49 mins) 0 steals: DaRon Holmes (175 mins) 0 blocks: Tyrese Proctor (392 mins) 0 O-rebs: Trae Young (280 mins) 0 FTA: Pete Nance (145 mins)

Tomorrow the Warriors honor Ruby Bridges, who is 71 years old, and not much older than my mother. History might feel way back, a bygone era, but it’s not. It’s still close and relevant to the same problems of today.

Today at the ice protest in LA i found a dude who was just standing in the sun in the heart of the protest with a giant mexican flag and a 12 pack of modelos. He offered me one, and apologized that there were only two left but “it’s hot and I’ve been here a few hours so I drank the first 10 already”

That's the stuff.

I'm perpetually amused by the fact that NBA players take insanely difficult shots, make them 50% of the time, miss them by a centimeter 30% of the time, and then 20% of the time it's like no wtf that's not even close to being close what were you thinking

Shocker, I know, but we once again had layoffs at Vox. If you're able to, here's a link to help out some wonderful @voxmediaunion.bsky.social folx

has anyone ever been able to get a game on Peacock to start playing before the second quarter begins

we can do better. we can make morale plummet far more. don't stop now.

For my latest piece, I spent the weekend writing about sports' response to the killing of Alex Pretti, slave patrol resistance in 1850s Boston, anarchist calisthenics, and overcoming nihilism to ensure we abolish ICE. www.goldenstateofmind.com/general/1076...

Tremendous comment found on the other site

Another Bob Fitzgerald banger: "The hug is not a basketball play"

Not beating the "ICE agents are otherwise unemployable idiots" rap

Today I learned that on Shelden Williams' wikipedia page, Candace Parker is described as "former University of Tennessee Lady Vols and Las Vegas Aces basketball star"

Not only did Quickley put up that line, but Buddy Hield had shot 7-for-8 from the field, 6-for-6 on threes, and 5-for-5 on free throws for 25 points on 122.5% TS. Just some ridiculous shooting displays at Chase Center.

Before every game, there’s chapel for players on both teams who wish to attend. Today’s chapel had a prayer for Jimmy Butler. (Shared with permission)

Notably, this is the highest true-shooting percentage for a 40+ point game in NBA history. Previous high was Myles Turner, who had 40 on 110.6% TS in 2023.

Absolutely bonkers shooting line from Immanuel Quickley: 11-for-13 from the field, 7-for-8 on threes, 11-for-11 on free throws. 40 points on 112.1% true shooting. Second time this season a player has scored 40+ points on 100+ TS. Both times were against the Warriors.

I hate to say something so bold and controversial, but I think the Warriors should play Jonathan Kuminga

this is the most violent thing Mike Dunleavy Jr. has been involved in since that time he somehow got kicked in the face on a rebound

We had the most unlikely national champion in college football history AND University of Mississippi made the playoffs, and we still had Lane Kiffin's looser ass jumping to a legacy program claiming he just wants to have a chance to win lmao

Absolutely elite line from Bob Fitzgerald on the Warriors broadcast: "Nikola Jović, one consonant away from being the best player in the NBA"

would anyone like to value me relative to the rest of the employment world the way the dodgers value kyle tucker

sometimes I like to imagine Karl-Anthony Towns as a running back because it makes me giggle

carson beck is in his 7th year playing college football?? what do you mean he's spent as long in college throwing passes as my brother spent getting his doctorate

All right, I'll say it: Stephen A. Smith has been saying gross and problematic stuff reliably for the last decade-plus, and people have been happy to ignore it because they enjoy watching him yell at people over tepid sports takes.
