how can you not be romantic about basketball

I do kind of wish the court selfie guy had turned out to be Eric Adams

I am not too proud to admit that I do not understand the conceit of the AT&T Knicks Hiking commercial

listen there are a lot of reasons to leave Substack but "you're sharing space with Chris Cillizza" is sneakily high up there

I don't know if this is "a conspiracy theory" so much as "a thing that definitely happened"

Oops! All Jeffs (with a liberal interpretation)

i have a solution to the Brendan Sorsby situation that would make everyone involved very mad

Today on Phantom Island: @rodger.bsky.social texted me a while back asking if he could bring his Knicks Conspiracy Theory to the show. How could I say no to that? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

prepare yourself for the CHET SCARED video edits of this game

THE REMATCH

draculas always win

we’ve reached the part of the basketball game where I am compelled to pace around the living room with my arms crossed

idk why these teams don’t just try the Knicks formula of “beat other team by 37.” seems inefficient this way?

Luke Kornet always looks like he’s got low level vampirism

I appreciate what you’re doing, Burger King, but I don’t think I am ready for the burden of the crown

Tom Brady hasn’t posted a video on his YouTube channel in three months and I’m starting to worry he’s not taking being a video creator seriously

Coaches, @yellowfund.bsky.social is six days out from the end of #Fthon26 and just $7,916 from their goal that would get matched from the national level org. Linking my own page where y'all ran the score up, and specific pages who need some love below 🧵 fund.nnaf.org/fundraiser/7...

BONUS PHANTOM ISLAND EPISODE! We got a subscriber question about the 1970 USC-Bama game that ended racism*, so we looked at what bits of the story don't hold up to scrutiny. We're also announcing the subject of our next episodic project on this episode! (dragons) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
