Why in the world would you make LeBron mad in a playoff game ever

Yeah so about that

This game is absolutely perfect

Minnesota is just suffocating Denver here

The hockey was good

One of my favorite moments from writing for Awful Announcing: when I wrote a post making fun of James Dolan's music and a PR flack sent an embarrassed email asking if I could change one line about one small immaterial detail while not mentioning how I called him a total hack throughout

I am, I can't stress this enough, so happy about this

I love that Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri have a cold war-style division on Food Network

There's a reason Jalen Brunson couldn't play FIBA ball.

One of the lower-level sad things about Haliburton's injury was how it robbed guys like Tony Bradley from being lifelong role player heroes in Indiana as part of a title run. He had some huge moments.

The Knicks are going to get eliminated at some point this spring and it will be my favorite moment of this entire NBA season, of which I've watched like 40 minutes

There was a goose on the field at Wrigley, they played on

Curt Schilling painted that sock

Keep thinking about this pic of James Garner in the early '60s at a racetrack in Anderson, Indiana, and how the gap between "movie star" and "regular person" was so much bigger back then.

The NBA leaning into the '90s color schemes is always a win.

"$80 uniform pants damaged beyond repair"-level cop bullshit here

Woke Chuck is my favorite Chuck

Going to hold my hand up and say that everything about this movie's existence is news to me

@johnhollinger.bsky.social basketball analysis ? I've been wanting to ask: can we say now that the Pacers getting kind of raked over the coals for not going into the tax for Myles Turner last summer was actually a very good decision both on-court and for cap purposes? I never understood the reaction

Archer voice: "Jai alai?"

Also if you wanna hire me for any and all needs...holler.

When I briefly worked at a small town library like 9 years ago there was an old patron who refused to read anything written by women and would get mad if anyone recommended anything written by a woman, but he also loved Harry Potter. Didn't make sense at the time but somehow makes perfect sense now.

I wish I had Obi Toppin's entire outlook

Congratulations to @iancasselberry.blog for the UM win. Has been fun to follow it along with him.

The neighborhood pop-up video store has a new customer (also bought a used Blu-ray copy of Inception for $2)

I've often said that Kirk Cousins should hold masterclasses for rookies and the NFLPA on how to handle the franchise tag and free agency

Ooooof just tried to open up Slack (an app I haven't had on my phone since fall of 2024) so my insomnia weeknight is going great

Hegseth is my new "Republican I Want for 10 Minutes in the Octagon", I truly just can't stand that guy in a way that I honestly didn't even think possible for me anymore outside of Aaron Rodgers and a few specific former retail customers

Always partial to this one, among many contenders

One of the best indicators that my mental health isn't where it should be is that I stay mad at bad social media posts for longer than 8 seconds

If you went back in time to tell 1999 me about the state of the entire world on April 1, 2026, the fact I'd least believe out of maybe everything was that NFL Network spent 2 hours in Bloomington covering national champ Indiana's pro day

@beavisetc.bsky.social getting reports of special marine warnings

Umps being overruled by ABS, leading to insanely loud crowd pops, has been my favorite new sports thing in a long time. Just the total catharsis of a stadium of fans getting to lose their minds at an ump being told they got it wrong. This will maybe lose its charm at some point but it's so fun.

Accidentally texted my friends who own/manage a restaurant at 6:30 on a Friday evening their time, I'm sure they appreciate it

It's definitely interesting to think about. And his case is wildly complicated because so much of what became his eventual undoing was a direct result of the physicality and personal flaws that allowed him to have the success he had at the level he had it.

Tiger should have never been allowed to drive a car again after his SoCal accident that could have killed people and was immediately swept under the rug. For all of Phil Mickelson's foibles/light treason, for which he deserved his exile, Tiger's DUI habit has been directly endangering people for yrs

Jalen Brunson remains firmly atop the list. Just an atrocious game.

Sengun is rapidly ascending my unwatchable player rankings

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

15 y/o me held a grudge against this film for getting the awards attention I felt Road to Perdition deserved

I'm no big-city lawyer, but I would guess Grammarly's CEO did not do the company any favors with this one

The people who bring things to Antiques Roadshow as the expert is going over the entire backstory of their object:

Iowa had to burn two challenges on pretty obvious calls

Roger shitting on John Glenn is a perfect tossed-off Mad Men scene

Good for Daniel Palencia. Have always liked him despite my understandably fraught relationship with Cubs relievers

Somewhere Carlos Zambrano is fighting someone out of pure joy

Denver going 0-6 in OT is a great example of how I always feel like Jokic should just be throwing up one-legged 30 footers more often

Just absolutely ridiculous.
