'Inside the NBA' had the viral Pacers couple join the show tonight. Shaq was particularly honest and also offered to buy them an engagement ring. 🏀📺🤣 #NBA

Rich Eisen officially returns to Bristol to host SportsCenter on ESPN, complete with a throwback intro and studio. 📺🎙️

yike

I doubt that Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

You accepted an invite to be at the RNC Convention. That decision is political.

Breaking: Jade Melbourne is signing a one-year deal to return to the Seattle Storm, per her agent Sammy Wloszczowski of the Sports International Group agency. Deal is for one year, protected, at $500k A return to Seattle for Melbourne after she spent the past two seasons in DC

yeaa

I am generally less worried about a Trump/Orban "control the media of the 90s/early 00s" model of authoritarian consolidation & far more worried about a Putin "wall off the internet & make sure social media is full of alop/propaganda" model. Ones backwards looking & one is forward looking. 2/2

I think we don’t talk enough about the importance of Tesla Takedown. It was the first widespread resistance to the Trump regime, it left Elon Musk toxic to the general public, & it destroyed one of the foundations of his wealth.

What’s with the sound at these sporting events and on TV? The balance has been awful with all networks. I wonder what it is?

Doris Burke with some kind words for @markjonesespn.bsky.social who is calling his last game for ESPN tonight

Haotong Li had a rough day

So we’re rooting for Carolina and Montreal this week. Oof.

Orban is out but defeating him at the ballot box is not the same as dismantling Orbanism. The illiberal infrastructure, that is the captured judiciary, the loyalist media landscape, the Fidesz-aligned oligarchs, the constitutional hardball in Basic Law, doesn’t disappear with a concession call

What I learned from the Masters? TGL plays

That, folks, is the Nationals' first sweep in Milwaukee since June 2-4, 2006. The winning pitchers in that series: Ramon Ortiz, Bill Bray and Tony Armas Jr.

only room in this league for one Curly W hat 🧹

Put it this way: Dodgers are S-Tier, Nats are on top of the A-Tier on offense

I hope we're all ready for political news media to give JD Vance fawning coverage in 2028 in an attempt to help boost his campaign and keep Republicans in control of the presidency. It very likely wont work, tbc, but that doesnt mean its not gonna happen.

Nats sweep the Brewers. Screenshot it.

Where’s Nick Castellanos?

Ugh, Ken Waldichuk (who had Tommy John surgery in 2024) winced after throwing a pitch and pointed to the inside of his left elbow when head athletic trainer Dale Gilbert got to the mound.

Nats small ball

Keep an eye on this: Trump is trying to seize the beautiful Presidio in San Francisco, a longtime goal of techbros who want it for a dreamed-of libertarian "Freedom City". The plot is nutty but real. Seems Silicon Valley tech-fascists are extracting their money's worth from Trump before he fades. 1/

EXTREMELY CORRECT and why I'm celebrating

I actually recruited and placed a person whose last name is President.

Right now, when Harry Ford is ready, Millas is likely to be sent down. His strength was at defense and it’s baffling at best.

You know what they say: a 6 shot lead is the most dangerous lead in golf.

JD Vance: The Cooler

whomever is running "pcrf-help[.]org" and siphoning donations away from the real PCRF should go to hell.

I couldn’t believe it at first, but Apple has actually removed the names of villages in Lebanon from its Maps app.

ORBAN CONCEDES: "Viktor Orbán is now speaking at Fidesz’s election night and he says the election result is “clear” as he concedes defeat." - @theguardian.com

Hungary is going to vote out fascism

Trump at a UFC event last night told fighter Paulo Costa he’s too good-looking to fight. “You’re a beautiful guy. You could be a model, you look so good.” This was what Trump was doing as negotiations with Iran imploded.

The polls have closed in Hungary - and it appears that turnout will approach 80%, a post-communist record.

Orban has not appeared on tv - he sent his chief of staff looking ashen. In the meantime, challenger Peter Magyar appeared on tv to claim that this is a historic day. There are no exit polls in Hungary but here are projections from a respectable researcher based on pre-election polls.

This is either the biggest dork shit ever or beautiful or both. Amazing: the viral pacers bickering couple were actually yakking about uh the Ben Sasse podcast and hashing out ways to rejigger liberal arts education www.si.com/nba/pacers/v...

Bundesliga has 2 Black head managers and a woman head manager. Its so great to see people getting their shot (and in Kompanys case excelling) in a big league like this.

well this is cool - Mo’ne Davis made her Banana Ball debut pitching for the Indianapolis Clowns (via Banana Ball)

The Paramount+ logo really ties the room together.

Nats win, but Beeter wanted to be dramatic like Rory.

Who’s the backup closer for the Nats?

My guess is Fam could be the one or they really are going for or a 3 guard set

Thanks Beeter of ruining a shutout

The crew of Artemis II on Saturday evening were being honored at a NASA event welcoming the astronauts back to Houston.

Last year, the Nats not only were swept by the Brewers, they were humiliated by the Brewers. Now, on the verge of winning the 1st 2 games against them.

Foster Griffin has faced the Phillies, Dodgers and Brewers and emerged with a 1.76 ERA and 1.109 WHIP.

Becerra. Former CA AG. Former HHS secretary. A technocrat with executive experience. No drama. California: This is the way. www.kqed.org/news/1203410...
