Always a good time talking hoops with the guys. We previewed the NBA season, including teams under the most pressure, awards and early finals predictions.

On #NBA opening night and the biggest winner, which was easily NBC -- not us, the fans. Though we at least got a great game out of it.

Really good stuff by Michelle

Welp, Malik Nabers hurt. The Jaxson Dart 2025 season was fun while it lasted.

Dexter Lawrence with a pick! I wanted that TD for him so bad lmao. Best DT in the game.

Oh baby. This opening Jaxson Dart drive is something

I really missed my calling as a professional cornhole player

And he knew it. My kid probably won’t be playing tackle football.

Camden

For TMW, I wrote about Taylor Townsend, who showed Jelena Ostapenko more grace than was deserved.

Some words on Tank Davis and Jake Paul’s shameful and obvious money grab

@princegrimes.bsky.social cooked again. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

John Wall meant something different to Wizards fans. With news of his retirement, I wrote about the John Wall era of Wizards basketball. You just had to be there.

There are no good guys in Jon Gruden’s lawsuit against the NFL.

This is sick

He was really writing a pro/con journal entry in his head about having kids with Halle Berry

Shedeur Sanders is the most interesting 4th-stringer of all-time bit.ly/40Y21C9

Bought a bike…. I have no clue how we used to do this for fun back in the days. My legs are on FIRE

@princegrimes.bsky.social cooked. This is nasty work.

Cameron Boozer really called Duke “overlooked.” LOL and just like that I snapped back to my Duke-hating senses 👇🏾

Never thought we’d see the day Belichick would care to respond to something as petty as this… Then again, that probably wasn’t Belichick responding.

The kid is sleep, which can only mean one thing. It’s CFB 26 time

Welp that’s enough Nationals baseball for one day. How y’all doing?

Jake Paul's apparent emoji response to opponent's ICE arrest was so gross bit.ly/45YXOlb

The return of EA Sports' College Basketball is hard to get excited for bit.ly/3I9wBlD

The Mystics are competitive a lot sooner than I was prepared for them to be competitive. I love this young core

Ace Bailey might not have wanted to go to Utah but it could turn out to be the perfect landing spot for him

👀

Aaron Rodgers ruined any chance of being missed when he pulls a 'Keyser Soze'

Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury is devastating beyond the NBA Finals bit.ly/3G7K8tt

Yikes. Haliburton is in a ton of pain. His calf was looking like the MVP of these finals too. That sucks

I wrote about the Grand National Tour’s final U.S. stop in Maryland last night. Kendrick Lamar and SZA brought some light to what began as a dark and rainy day in the DMV.

Think it’s safe to say both teams lost games at home they had no business losing. 2-2 feels right going into Game 5. This is a SERIES

The end of this game is a mess

Mark Daigneault really got nothing for Rick Carlisle

If the Pacers are open, I just assume it’s going in. Doesn’t even matter who’s taking the shot at this point

This NBA Finals series is so good. Feel like the best in a long time

French Open bettors are buying into the Lois Boisson fairytale ahead of her semifinal vs. Coco Gauff

The Oilers and Connor McDavid are sportsbook liabilities in the Stanley Cup Final

2 ex-Knicks assistants lead odds to replace Tom Thibodeau

The Gabby Thomas and Lance McCullers situations are perfect examples of the dark side of sports betting

I’m sorry, what?!

Betting companies expect customers to pay cost of Illinois' new tax

The Thunder are tied as the 7th-biggest favorite in the NBA Finals since at least 1973

Pacers open as biggest NBA Finals underdogs in 7 years

Somebody should tell Tyrese this

👀 the Nats are going nuclear

Oilers open as tiny Stanley Cup favorites in rematch vs. Panthers

Thomas Bryant came in and shit went downhill for the Pacers immediately lol
