It's honestly fucking stupid that the Eagles are playing on both Thanksgiving *and* Christmas Eve.

Fire Nurse and Morey. It's never going to work with them.

Feels good to hear “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” after a playoff goal again.

Dave Silver putting his thumb on the scale again because in no world is that a flagrant foul.

Game is ugly for sure but something tells me that shooting nearly 70% from the field and nearly 60% from three isn't really sustainable.

That looked like some dirty shit by Bridges.

Knicks fans, classy as always.

Hell yeah Coots

Seeing a lot of people saying the Phillies should've kept Mickey Moniak and I agree, provided that the Phillies would be allowed to play all of their games in Colorado and were able to successfully petition MLB to only allow opponents to use RHP against them.

In the last four days: The Flyers ended the Penguins' season in sudden-death fashion in OT. The Sixers beat the Celtics on their floor in a Game 7 after coming back from down 3-1 in the series. Next to actually winning a title, this is as about as good as it gets.

Way to waste a challenge, dumbass. Clearly a foul.

Nick Nurse knows he has timeouts to use, right?

Just saw what Rhys Hoskins did last night getting to play in his hometown for the first time. Really happy for him to have had a night like that.

A Game 7 against the Celtics in Boston. What could possibly go wrong?

THE SIXERS?!?

CAM FUCKING YORK

Shuffling the lines was a terrible move by Tocchet. Offense has been disjointed all night.

Just a completely inept power play.

The person responsible for the new Domino's jingle can go straight to hell.

The narrative that the Flyers are somehow the dirtier team in this series is laughably divorced from reality.

The Celtics' PA announcer is annoying as shit.

To the extent that this is true (because it's Nightengale), it's Dombrowski left holding his junk in his hand for the second time in the past three months.

Dave Dombrowski is a coward who's using Rob Thomson as his human shield to cover Dombrowski's absolute lack of creativity with the roster and his inability to bring in any dependable source of RH power. Topper deserved better than this.

Dan Mantha is fake tough.

Bettman's called this in for Pittsburgh.

Malkin is an absolute piece of shit.

Gonna need Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse fired this week.

Giving Aaron Nola that contract is *easily* one of Dombrowski's worst moves.

So Alex Cora's managing the Phillies on Tuesday against the Giants, right?

Lemon’s a solid pick. And FWIW, Fran Duffy said on the PHLY stream that some people nicknamed Lemon “Baby Puka” during the predraft process for his style of WR play.

Bret Hart said it best about Pittsburgh.

This is easily the least prepared I've felt for an NFL Draft in I don't know how long.

Fire someone (preferably Long or Dombrowski) and do it tonight.

They're the worst team in baseball on merit. They won't stay this bad, but at the same time, you're out to lunch if you think this is a contending ballclub. The flaws are glaring.

Wasn't an easy play but Trea Turner's defense has absolutely regressed this year. If it keeps up, might be time to have that "move to the OF" talk in the offseason.

Was one of the things that the Phillies caved on at the last minute with the Realmuto contract that his favorite Christian rock band got to play a concert at CBP?

I don't think that this is the popular opinion, but Dave Dombrowski should be fired before Rob Thomson. Most of the Phillies' issues - certainly not all, but most - stem from roster construction. And that's on Dombrowski, not Thomson.

Kevin Long should not be on the flight to Atlanta later today. (Screenshot from The Athletic)

I'm not sure how far they're ultimately gonna go, but this Flyers team isn't your ordinary playoff team.

Karmic justice for Nick Seeler.

RISTO

ZEGRAS

For the “It’s early, they’ll start hitting and get back to contending” crowd, history is not on your side. In fact, the Phillies are in company with some of the worst teams of the past few years.

Gonna need the Phillies to offer someone up as a sacrifice at some point here soon. Kevin Long, Dombrowski (unlikely), a non-fungible player DFA or trade. That clubhouse needs a figurative bomb dropped into it very, very badly right now.

Lot of Pens fans wearing empty seat costumes.

Cowards pull the kind of shit that the Penguins are pulling right now. Ergo, the Penguins are cowards.

Holy shit what a spot by Tippett.

Martone is a star.

Alec Bohm's most productive AB of late is getting hit in the elbow.
