The average number per game of players on the team that score in the double digits. Friends all eat together.

I love Philadelphia

thinking of her today

Baker destroyed his arm with that bomb. Dying with his sword in his hand like Toshiro Mifune in Throne of Blood. Pretty metal

Somewhere, JaMarcus Russell is waiting. He knows it won't be much longer until he is free of his burden.

I do not like it when Tony Romo says "squirt inside" whenever a running back makes a neat play. It has RFK Jr phone sex energy

Oooh baby. That win is for Bill Simmons. Thanks for the kind words for the team, pal!

Fascinating thread

Yes. This is the NBA shit I love. A dude who plays fuck-around ball on a massive contract playing the trade-me card. Let a thousand emergency podcasts bloom.

Mfw Zach Lowe is mildly positive about the Nets rookies

I love that the accompanying pic makes it look like he's been fired from a front desk job at a driving range

If Bluesky is really interested in improving user experience, there should be a little pop up whenever you try to post on a Sunday that says something like "Is this about how shitty JJ McCarthy is? If not, can it wait?"

I appreciate Josh Allen has no one to throw to in this game but that fumble was an obvious "trying-to-do-too-much" mistake. Just get down, you had the first.

Down 20+ here and the defense is doo-doo but I do like getting an extended look at Powell. There's something there.

Man I am a huge Cade fan. The combo of size skill and IQ is special. You can really see how the bad Pistons years shaped his game in a good way. It heartens me to know Demin says he models his game after him.

My Nets viewing philosophy atm is - how many minutes in a row can the team look decent? I don't want wins, but is there a stretch that makes sense, where you're not seeing too much dogshit. I think the 1st 10 minutes of this Detroit game meet that criterion. Clowney Demin Sharpe were all solid.

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

stay tuned

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

Beast mode. Hopefully a page has turned on a rotten generation of debauched and contemptuous democratic politicians.

enumclaw’s offensive line comes out in a hog trailer (not a horse trailer, never a horse trailer)

I have not been a huge Giannis fan but I am oddly charmed by how clearly pissed off he is all the time now. I saw him in Toronto when Scottie tried to big boy him and he played like you could fry an egg on his head.

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

Bill Simmons: What a loss. If I was a Jays fan I would put my head in a stove. Cousin Sal: If I was a Jays fan I would walk into a wood chipper. Bill Simmons: If I was a Jays fan I would fold a frisbee in half and swallow it. Cousin Sal: Totally. If I was a Jays fan I would take a huge katana and

This fucker is going to be in my nightmares. Good on him

It was a magical ride with all of you. Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

Lots of parallels between this year's Pacers and this year's Jays. A cohesive team with a charismatic star punching above its weight only to finally and cruelly be taken down in game 7 by a historically dominant robo-opponent. Lots of what-ifs to agonize over for the rest of our lives.

Dead ball rule is bullshit, if you can grab the ball then it should be in play. Those are the breaks of the game.

Lucas' recent writing on the Nets' abysmal defensive performance, along with Bill Simmons' comment that this might be the worst NBA team since the process Sixers, made me think about @yaronweitzman.bsky.social's excellent book, Tanking to the Top. 1/

Vladdy Jr goes yard off Shohei Ohtani

It's gonna be a long season for Nets fans

Justin Fields on dealing with comments from Jets owner Woody Johnson: "That’s outside noise at the end of the day. I get that he’s the owner of the team, but that’s outside noise."

Getting nuked by the Hornets with Kalkbrenner and Knueppel on the floor

Amazing game. Rockets need a lot more from Sheppard and Eason. You aren't getting a night of shooting like that from OKC very often and if you can't capitalize...

I am excited for this season of basketball, despite the best efforts of Adam Silver and Sean Marks to the contrary. I think OKC repeats, I think Jokic MVPs once more, and I think Brooklyn will be an unwatchable grind.

Really stunningly corrupt, even for the most corrupt administration in modern history.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

The Toronto Blue Jays are going to the World Series

Fucking hell fucking yeah Blue Jays

That 4th and 1 Mahomes acting job is why I love watching the Chiefs. Every game you get something you need to rewatch 4 or 5 times to laugh about
