Ever since I promised I was writing a piece on how parasocial Caitlin Clark fans are acting, I’ve been getting mad follows. I better cook or else 😂

That’s as close to the “28-3 “ game as we might ever get to see in basketball. Holy shit.

I’m not rooting for the Knicks, but… I’ve never seen a home whistle this bad before. Literally losing every call so far.

Finally… Included a few close calls too

Yes, and… There is a whole wing of propaganda dedicated to making people believe they’ll NEVER be part of that unsavory class. Eroding your rights while assuring you it will only happen to the “bad” ones, not you.

Earlier this year, I suggested creating the “Wemby Scale” for generational basketball prospects. Now I’m watching the mf break his own scale.

Angel Reese doesn’t know how to make a layup, but she can play some damn defense.

For those of you who didn't know - you do now! #BookSky

It appears they have a new biggest comeback of the season

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Today would've been the 99th birthday of Coretta Scott King, one of the foremost civil rights activists of her generation. But the woman born Coretta Scott was more than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's wife, says Dr. Johnnie Hamilton-Mason.

I tried to warn Bears fans that this could happen. They showed you last year they dgaf about drafting purely for need. They value scheme fits and BPA, and they put Ben Johnson/Caleb Williams over simply drafting defense to make us feel better. Now, they just better be right.

This is the perfect chaos draft for the Bears. Shows you who’s running this joint.

DAMNIT Pats

We are soooo close to Gabe Jacas to the #Bears… just a few more picks.

There are going to be SOO many starters on Day 2 of this draft.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

Patriots trade up for Caleb Lomu. You figure it's Morgan Moses insurance at RT. But it's also hard not to think he's a more...prototypical LT than what New England already has... Very curious if that ends up manifesting down the line.

After Max Iheanachor went to the Steelers, I made my peace with no OT for #Bears in Rd 1. Honestly, getting Dillon Thieneman at No. 25 is insane. Good on them. And all these edges and DTs slipping in the draft helps, too.

Re: the Mike Vrabel situation: I’m kind of amazed at how the internet can make it so hard to lie—like, come on, y’all…no way those laced fingers were just friendly—and so EASY to lie at the same time. Like, Vrabel and Russini can’t hide, but racism can?

Appreciate ya!

Insane aura

Might have to get that Wilyer Abreu jersey now.

When you score on High Point they're like lmao you fool, now we get the ball

So far, the #Bears offseason hasn't wowed @billtzimmerman.bsky.social, so he picked up his mic to discuss it on his latest Bears Banter podcast. 🐻⬇️&🔊⬆️ right here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2...

Between the Bam conversation and the USA Women’s FIBA discourse, I’m convinced no one on here who watches basketball actually likes the sport. Only watching so you can hate. Embarrassing.

Bam’s 83 might actually be the most improbable performance in NBA history. Like, you could believe Wilt going for 100 given what he was for that time. And Kobe literally had streaks of going for 50-60 points. Bam’s previous career high (41) was the ONLY other time he’s topped 40 in an NBA game.

So Maxx Crosby, like, HAS to get traded before tomorrow at noon, right? Because that would be wild to have to walk back one of those deals they just handed out. Plus, probably have to take less compensation to get a team to take on his contract. The domino effect of this nixed trade could be crazy.

Ok show of hands: who wants me to do some content on Netflix’s The Dinosaurs? Bc it goes pretty hard.

Ryan Poles has now committed robbery in two trades involving DJ Moore.

Some of y’all might not like my first take, but it’s probably going to be correct…

Mizzou WR Kevin Coleman Jr. said he’s met with #Bears. He’s a St. Louis native just like Luther Burden III, and even took over Burden’s old role (and jersey number) when he transferred in. And he’s a big fan of Caleb Williams:

I’ve heard this name more than almost anyone aside from Mendoza. People here expect Ty Simpson to be THE biggest domino of the draft. Where do you think he goes?

The man of the hour. Soaking in the moment.

Toledo CB Avery Smith mentioned he liked playing in the snow, so I asked him if he met with the Bears and Patriots. Interesting insights into what both teams were looking for in those interviews. Smith’s a former QB who switched to CB, and says he still thinks the game like a QB.

This look when someone asked Avieon Terrell if he’s talked to the Seahawks says it all. Has spent half his interview talking about how much pride he takes in tackling at 5-11, 180 pounds. Said being able to wake up and hit someone for free is the best part about football.

The Man in the Mask (and surefire first-round pick): Rueben Bain Jr.

Asked Texas Tech DT Lee Hunter what he wants to get better at in the league. Really engaging. Teams are going to love him. #NFLCombine

Just heard Georgia’s Christen Miller say he’s planning to meet with the #Bears today. Said he brings “violence” to the game and has learned a lot from past Bulldog defenders who are now in the NFL, like 2025 draftee Mykel Williams.

Kayden McDonald’s scouting report on himself is pretty straightforward. Adds that he had a “really great” meeting with #Bears and knows they need DT help. Prides himself on disruption and consistency, not stat-chasing.

Choosing to wear that Team USA sweater or uniform at this moment is a political choice (though it can mean different things for different platforms). Associating with that dude is a political choice. Complaining about everything being too political is a political choice. Let’s not be obtuse.

So Kelsey Mitchell and Kelsey Plum lowkey hate each other, I see…I’m invested.
