'hell yeah' they're saying

Can confirm Mike Scotto’s report that Shane Fenske is taking over as GM of the SLC Stars. He’s been with the Utah Jazz FO for several years. Former GM Katie Benzan is not leaving the organization, but she is changing positions with the team. She’ll be working out of state.

Scotto reporting that the Jazz are naming Shane Fenske as GM of the Stars, replacing Katie Benzan. No news on the future of Benzan, previously the youngest woman GM in G League history. Fenske is a pure analytics/computer science background guy, seems to be well liked

It's been a while since I created the original version of this, so I updated it for 2026-27. Note: these are the current projections for the Cap, Tax, Aprons and Exceptions. Hope this helps people understand the various spending levels and restrictions with each. Send feedback!

Kyle Busch - Z-Line Designs "Kimmy Car" (Toyota) 2010 Virginia 529 College Savings 250 (Richmond International Raceway) #NASCAR

Josh Hart pulled a Rowdy Roddy Piper

Kyle Busch - M&M's (Toyota) 2008 Aaron's 499 (Talladega Superspeedway) #NASCAR

how many rules were added or changed because Kyle Busch was too good?

My heart breaks for his wife, children, Kurt, and extended family. The future he had planned with Brexton and the torch he was going to pass. Racing isn't everything, but it's no secret how much it means to that family. I wish them nothing but all the peace the most positive of vibes right now.

this is like, if, say, Kevin Durant suddenly died in the NBA. this is crazy shit.

I am the self-proclaimed world's only NBA No. 1, NASCAR No. 2 fan Kyle Busch is a seminal part of anybody's NASCAR fandom. My favorite driver was always someone else but I loved his villainy. It is not real that we've suddenly lost him from just an illness. Take care of yourself and others.

I'm pretty sure SGA might have misunderstood the question but it would be very funny to me if SGA legitimately said his teammate 'wasn't that good' tonight

This looks like a cereal @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social would be forced to buy in Canada when they don't have Grape Nuts

My personal favorite Twitter moment is three years ago when I said Jaylin Williams was a bullshit basketball player who sucks to watch and then a horde (?!) of Arkansas Basketball (???!!!) fans ripped me apart

Got a lot of thoughts about Ace Bailey only getting 11 votes for first team All-Rookie (fewer than Fears, Raynaud, Queen, and Coward) and 4 people didn't vote him for either team.

The Athletic's NBA player tiers are just meant to infuriate me. Will not engage.

Thinking again how Cleveland let New York just have an open shooting gallery for the entirety of the fourth quarter. Trusting the math can get you to a point but once they pulled within 3 possessions you have to do something different.

I want to emphasize that Harden's terrible defense was an intentional choice by Atkinson. You don't have to give up the switch so easily. Stan Van Gundy and David Thorpe rail about this all the time.

We overestimate how much we expect a coach to go up in a postgame presser and immediately detail all of the specific personnel or gameplay decisions they screwed up (they typically aren't going to do this) But Atkinson's 'AW SHUCKS WHAT CAN YOU DO? THEY JUST GOT LUCKY!' is just clueless bullshit

NOW you bring in Strus? What are you doing???

Also, Donovan Mitchell can't move? Are you really worse off with, like, Schroeder and Ellis? Is Strus hurt?

Yes James Harden's defense is bad but they're intentionally letting the softest switches happen for fifteen minutes straight. It doesn't have to be this way.

Donovan Mitchell looks hurt and James Harden is James Harden

If you want to imagine what the Jazz's offense could look like with their new 6-man core, this @saltcityhoops.bsky.social post is for you. Zarin looks at what certain play types could yield on a team full of skill, shooting and positional size.

2026 Eastern Conference Finals

You have to at least PLAUSIBLY have your superimposed ads look like they belong on the court This Star Wars shit is embarrassingly tacky and bad. You cannot keep cheapening your product for a few thousand bucks. Eventually there won’t be a product advertisers want to buy.

Utah Jazz Legend (read: traded to Celtics for Georges Niang before training camp) RJ Luis is...going back to college? The fuck? The new college system is so stupid. So, so stupid.

hahahah holy shit

Utah gets undeserved shit for many reasons but they can absolutely blamed for these monstrosities

'it's a bad shot' - Paul George

I get the point of the decoy play but isn't that inbounds play the entire raison d'etre of Wembanyama's existence

Mike Tirico is meant to just be an anodyne football and Olympics announcer. He's not meant for this.

A reminder that Philly cut Julian Champagnie to sign Mac McClung so he could wear a Sixers uniform in the dunk contest.

Every Thunder player is actually just Marcus Smart

I was watching the Sabres (sorry!) and I am just tuning into Spurs/Thunder I am immediately dismayed to just hear Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford meeting about bullshit as juicelessly as possible

Bluesky wasn't working earlier but for posterity: Thunder in 5 Knicks in 7

was looking for a specific picture from when i got my master's degree 15 years ago and found this gem, a shirt i ostensibly bought and wore unironically

Finally, Ante Tomic has a way to break it into American hoops.

Surprised Detroit made it this far with this half baked, one-note roster

I just shot my best round of golf ever It was a 94 I didn't chunk or mishit a single ball; never ended up into real trouble. I just 3 putt nearly everything We're figuring this thing out!

My dream of an Avalanche - Sabres Cup Final is alive.

You can absolutely 100% miss me with the Wembanyama/OKC dominance doomerism.

Ryan Smith would like everyone to know that Salt Lake City has direct flights to Seoul, London, and Paris.

having a beer

the Bill Simmons/Ryan Smith podcast was really cool and enlightening. i think most NBA fans would enjoy it Smith is unusually transparent about the background details that goes into NBA decisionmaking and the related emotions for all of his Bill Simmonsy shit, Simmons is still a good interviewer

This just proves that deep down all cars wanna drive left in circles proving NASCAR to be the purest form of racing

For now, Darryn Peterson is pleased that teams are trying to get to know the real him. He wants to show them and prove to them that he's a high character person who will be a winning player. But the health concerns are still looming under the surface

My celebrity activity I most want to do is play disc golf with Lauri Markkanen.
