Be the dude wearing horns with the buddy who's carrrying three Heinkens. Those cats know how to party.

When you go to hot yoga on July 5, you feel every hot dog leave your body individually. Namaste x 3.

Grateful to see the administration has softened its stance on birthright citizenship.

The hell you say. And if it's too shallow for the finance bros, imagine what it can do for your life.

Nothing says America quite like Boyz II Men singing Country Roads, or Shaboozey in a red-white-and-blue leather vest.

Won't really miss coach Jeff Van Gundy and his Paraguay team, which plays such a dirty and cynical style they're being annexed into CONCACAF.

My much-healthier-than-me wife wanted to experiment with making seitan today and I support her. I’m also frying up a mess of hot dogs in butter in the cast iron while enjoying a canned domestic beer. Nature seeks balance.

the guy I always forget in the “last surviving Charlotte Bobcat” conversation. this officially makes Bismack Biyombo the final Bobcat left in the NBA.

Ow, Canada.

Going full Joey Chestnut feels more responsible after a long run. So what's the appropriate ratio for dogs:miles? I went 5.25 miles just to give myself a cushion.

Happy 250th anniversary of independence, for all off you latecomers who didn't jump on the Charlotte bandwagon 13 1/2 months earlier. parkroadbooks.com/book/9780306...

"In silence they work, and they perform in violence. That's the way we do it." — Zlatan, or maybe Omar from The Wire.

Happy early July 4th. The American story has always been Little vs. Big. Even when the analytics say you have no shot. Never forget.

That protracted "woooooof" on the Telemundo broadcast is all of us.

More like Sidney Lowe-pes Cabral, amirite. #1983NCStateVibes

Thanks Bluesky for letting me know my YouTubeTV is about 20-30 seconds behind real life.

If there's a Marriott in Cape Verde, every sports writer in the world will end up there.

World Cup penalties on Telemundo > Playoff hockey OT.

Sure, cool. Bought some more picks with all that cap space. They're positioned to do something, someday. Or just sign LeBron.

As painful as that was, and VAR is far from perfect, you can't call a game on vibes. Smokey, this isn't 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.

Cool, whatever, your statue looks like this.

I didn't have the beloved Charlotte Bobcats legend Biz catching a stray in the Cristiano Ronaldo criticism, but here we are. (It's true though, if Biz could catch, he'd have been an All-Star.)

I think for winning the Revolutionary War, we get to trade John Denver for Foghat.

As cool as it is that immigrant Malik Tillman and birthright citizen Folarin Balogun are leading the US to a win in the World Cup, it won't feel as good until we start punching up. We're beating Bosnia and Herzegovina. And we're the United States; 250 years ago we were the Rebels, not the Empire.

The US strategy for the next half hour: "A punt is not a bad play." Which is smart, it just runs counter to every fiber of Pochettino's being.

Free Bird is the American song, not Country Roads. Keep your wrong opinions to yourselves.

Pausa de hidratación.

Just remember when you're watching the US in the World Cup tonight: Herzegovina hasn't been true in North Carolina since Bev Perdue left office. Pardon me for the @ncrabbithole.com-coded joke.

Absolutely, as much as everyone not Belgium hates it. Smokey, this isn't 'Nam, this is soccer, there are rules.

From a USMNT perspective I almost hope this is a penalty. Would much rather play Belgium and avenge 2014 than defend Senegal trying to avenge Charlotte.

Was low-key hoping to see Jaylen end up in Charlotte. Also, Paul George is 36, which makes this a weird roster for the Celtics.

Harry Kane. Good at football.

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."

That’s a wall, dumbass.

Judge people by the fights they pick.

Congratulations to the Supreme Court for solving a made-up problem. I'm sure now that coaches and administrators will now be inspecting the genitals of the middle school track team, nothing bad will ever happen. All because a handful of people can't accept that they're just shitty swimmers.

Oranje Crushed.

A year ago, this is the return the Hornets would have gotten for LaMelo Ball. And everyone would have bitched and yelled and wondered why they didn't get more. Because physically broken players with big contracts have negative value, that's why. Instead, Charlotte polished him up and sold high.

Beat writer legend status confirmed. Dave is a real one.

Players already knew Derrick Brown was good at football. More people are catching on. www.panthers.com/news/derrick...

This feels like Step 3 in the preamble of what they’re eventually doing, so I’m going to hold off falling for any of these people.

Happy 100th Birthday to Mel Brooks, who made the greatest movie ever filmed, and knew exactly how to deal with editors, I mean tyrants (same thing).

And there’s Step 2 of several.

From a basketball standpoint, this seems pretty obvious to be Step 1 of something bigger for the Hornets. The trade exception alone has tremendous value, and they have a ton of picks and a good expiring in Miles to work with. Buckle up.

Robert Harrington's been mayor less than a week and the streets are already safer.

Oh. Good morning.

Which is fitting since the Hornets just escaped The Emperor's New Clothes years.

Hannes Steinbach is a day too late to be mayor of Charlotte.

if you could hurry and tip the Hornets picks I could go to bed thanks.

A Darryn goes No. 2. That's what he gets for spelling his name wrong. @darrenurban.bsky.social
