Score! Presidents Day Record Haul! Plus Santana, Roy Orbison, Jim Croce, Sly & Family Stone, etc…

Yesterday’s Episode 5 of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms has lingered with me. I’ve spent much of my morning reading reviews and watching reaction videos. It truly was amazing, and while I initially resisted the 35 minute run time, it allows for taut story and reveals with no excess. Peak

Early stage dystopia is a slog

Anthony Edwards might’ve been MVP but in the 3 games, Devin Booker was a +35 Edwards was +7. No player had a higher +/- than Devin Booker.

Oh man, tonight’s A Knight is the first time Game Of Thrones creeped into this side quest. Excellent episode. Heart is full yet gutted.

The format works. I like it and it creates a lot of competitive games and iconic moments. Rosters need expanding. 10 players each team. Maybe this means some fringe players make it in after injury replacements, but there are plenty of quality players who deserve it, especially in face of expansion

This sort of feels like … a regression to the mean? Tired legs, sloppy play. How about 10 players per team?

what a pass from Booker

Back to back games for Stripes got them panting, man.

NBA Sickos right now

Adam Silver right now:

1987-88 Season gives this a run… I’ll do it in one season… 1987-88 Magic Johnson (20p6r11a, 3rd MVP) Michael Jordan (35p6r6a, 1st MVP, 1st DPOY) Larry Bird (30p9r6a, 2nd MVP, 41% 3FG) Hakeem Olajuwon (23p12r2a All-Def, 3rd DPOY) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (15p6r3a, All-Star)

Last season when Arizona started poorly, Tommy had versatility and shooting on the bench to turn to. He inserted ADO into starting lineup, but also leaned into Carter and Henri for different style of play. This team is great. It’s dinged up. But it’s absolutely limited to a specific ideal of play.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Arizona Wildcats finally wins the Dunk contest after years of being robbed back to Iguodala and multiple years of Gordon. Sucks it happened anti-climatically with the missed attempts by Carter after making almost all of them prior. Happy for Keshad. Bryant got a long future. Kid is young.

Damn

That’s the Shawn Kemp contest dunk with less English

Arizona Wildcat Vs Arizona Wildcat Dunk Contest Finals

Using the truly American trait of helping your neighbors and strangers, something literally asked of us by Jesus, as a tactic to steal, abduct, destroy. Disgusting Shame, And Eternal Shame. Nothing But Shame.

This is real America, right here.

LMAO

My number one request of Des was to sell sell sell and make money. Arizona had absolute shit leadership and with shittier vision. Money moves this sport now. It’s still McKale. But now Arizona gets millions for the press to write Alkeme Arena. Win Win Win

I’ve been soaking my knee after activity, and today I hurt my elbow getting out of the tub. So, while I’ve done some “push yourself” foolishness on hikes, I will not be joining the day to day crowd who can handle the edge of boundary pushing.

One of the non-profits I work with is one that educates vulnerable populations on scams and fraud, and how generative AI (and AI in general) has exponentially improved the quality of scams and thus their likelihood of success in taking senior citizen’s money is incalculable. There’s no value to it.

James Van Der Beek was a tremendous talent and I think everyone needs to watch Don’t Trust The B in Apartment 23 to fully appreciate it. Also a film largely unseen is his pre-Dawson starring villain role in Angus, a criminally underrated 1990s Hughes ripoff, but one with wit and heart and music.

My aunt who beat Cancer. My aunt who beat Cancer again. My aunt who survived many falls and broken bones. My aunt who beat cancer a third time. My aunt who beat a coma from a pulmonary embolism. She has lived her life, robbed it blind of every fucking ounce of joy and art and love, and has passed.

I’m heading up an orchestra gala committee and they asked me for 3 songs… •Begin The Beguine, a nod to being doubly charmed by The Rocketeer •This Magic Moment, a nod to Squints and his plan from The Sandlot •The Book Of Love, a nod to the greatest final moments of any original sitcoms series.

Use it. Learn from it. Grow. And a loss can be significant. Several things were tested, exposed, all independent of the whistle. Reffing won’t be favorable every game. Deal with it.

I find it hilarious that after all the white guys Jordan owned Charlotte drafted from Morrison to Zeller to Kaminsky, they finally got their Larry Bird and Jordan isn’t an owner any longer.

give me the ferments and free my soul I’m only eatin yogurt at the super bowl I’m RFK

👀 Note the date. This was sheer hubris because Arizona was just two years into Tommy Lloyd era, which means they were just 4 months from losing to Princeton as a 2-seed, and only 2.5 years from firing Miller. Arizona fans were angered by me often, but few had the confidence I did in the program.

This should not surprise when the media entity known as the World Wide Leader is in bed with betting and can promote whatever agenda they want to sway betting trends with their media coverage. It’s all grift.

Stay in school until you have real skills, kids. College pays you now, so rushing and sacrificing development and being a star to be a well-paid two-way/bench sitter in “pros” should not be a focus.

On this day of Opening Ceremonies, let us all remember the most ancient of games with its most recent of Summer intros… Gojira Forever In a sport that awards Gold, Silver, Bronze… it’s never been more Metal than these minutes: youtu.be/5hTMYk7orHw?...

I have many events culminating next 7 days, I’ve not felt truly well most of this week, my beloved aunt that fueled my love of music and film is entering Hospice, and even with all this swirling, I would like to take a second to say fuck all the racist enablers and their racist in chief.

Suns acquired a 6-7 scrappy undersized forward who plays tough wing defense and who shoots solid on corner 3s. Welcome back, Torrey Craig! I mean, Welcome! Amir Coffey!

This trade deadline reminds of the never mistake activity for achievement quote by Wooden. Whole lotta nothing trades that alter the landscape like a fucking mist. No rain drops of improved consequence, IMO, outside of maybe Vuc to Celtics.

Unanimous And It Feels So Good….

After hanging #5 Nebraska its first loss and winning by 12 at rival #7 Michigan State, I fully expect Michigan to get plenty of 1st Place Votes. It was a big week for them. They deserve them. But Arizona is 22-0 with a dominant road win for 39 minutes at BYU, and at uppity rival ASU. Still #1, IMO

OooohK, here’s the return of Country Music that means something when it says something! www.facebook.com/share/v/183A... Dude looks like John Cougar, with a style like Johnny Cash, and voice bordering on Willie Nelson.

Ball don’t lie

Called it. I play the team who has him next week. Knew he’d be back to sink me! Haha

I have said for many years the NCAA will appear to fight all these, but they won’t do everything to win, but they need this anarchy, because several years ago they petitioned Congress for an exception to Anti-Trust. They need the chaos so they can return to Congress and say without help, they done.

As longtime observers of struggles to establish peace and justice in the US and around the world, The Nation is honored to nominate the city of Minneapolis and its people for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

"It is literally impossible to undo DHS." Motherfucker, the Department of Education got hollowed out via shit-king fiat, a power he doesn't technically possess. Spare me your lack of imagination and spine.

Using gen. A.I. to make slop imagery to go with any anti-fascist statement isn't any sort of flex as it was developed and promoted by the billionaires pushing fascism. Just fucking stop using it.

In case you don't really have a dog in this fight and haven't decided who to root for yet.
