God bless Jordan Poole. God bless media day.

If this is the case, and it’s what his agent is saying, there can be no happy ending, just a delay on the inevitable.

The Aaron Turner media blitz brought him to Dubs Talk, take a listen ⬇️

If there’s one thing reporters love, it’s signing a pledge not to report things.

One sign of a healthy negotiation between agent and team is for one side to air out all their shit to the media before the deal is done. As a media member, I LOVE it when people talk. For a good faith negotiation…yikes.

I’m going to say something extremely nice…every player wants an agent that believes in them 100% and fights for them unconditionally.

I came in late, did this agent interview really start at 10:30am??? And it’s still going at 11:20am??? And now they’re taking fan questions???????

Listening to JK’s agent on the radio and his four-minute meandering answers and I’m wondering what the heck is going on…like…why do this interview during negotiations, there’s no message to get ahead of, people know where you stand because you’re already feeding the stories.

Natalie Nakase is a 5 foot, one-and-three-quarter inches GIANT.

Salute to the Valkyries, for making history, for selling out every home game, for overcoming a boatload of injuries, and getting the best out of every player. That’s belief. That’s culture. It’s a foundation that’s only going to get better.

Don’t fade, Valks 😩

I love this framing! Happy to see it! Consider how infrequently male athletes are compared to greatness of female athletes.

Cheering for this guy and also sad for this part: He’s worried about what happens when he gets kicked off his parent’s insurance when he turns 26, www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

Posting this giant block of text to say I’ll never take this for granted…it’s my 9th season covering the Warriors with amazing broadcasting teammates. It’s beyond lucky to enjoy work every day.

While Kuminga is betting on himself, how frosty is that locker room going to be when you’re the guy who prevented any off-season moves to make the team better? You could also side-eye the front office for reaching this point to begin with. Messy messy!

The Supreme Court…THE SUPREME COURT…voted 6-3 for the Family Guy skin color chart.

Sotomayor is one of our greatest Americans.

Sue Bird can read the heck out of a teleprompter and her speech is pretty zingy 👌

THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR (Tiny font underneath: What is it good for?)

Morbidly fun to say this stuff in the Charlie Day “Rock, Flag, and Eagle” voice. Don’t any of these dorks know - “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

This is what pushes Nakase into #1 for Coach of the Year over Reeve and Smesko.

The versatility! “…Scott is the only woman to have done play-by-play for the NFL, NHL, NBA, NCAA Division 1 football and the Olympics.” She also called soccer for Fox Sports. Amazing stuff.

Who am I to tell you not to go 130 mph on the highway when Jesus has the wheel? All the other drivers: Uhhhh www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Slow clap for Pablo. The man finds out.

No idea how the players are supposed to be warm after this clock delay and the Valkyries cannot afford any more injuries 😬

This clock delay at the Valkyries game is taking foreverrrrrr but there’s no one I’d rather hear vamp than Kevin Danna and @morganragan.bsky.social.

Sandwiches are $18.99 now.

Hmm, have we tried prayers and thoughts?

As someone who learned long ago not to hand the microphone to the person I’m interviewing because I’ll never get it back, you’d think I’d apply the same concept to my toddler and my phone.

I got a massage today and when I was laying face down, the upper part of the table deflated to accomodate breasts. It was glorious!!!

Catching up on these stats from yesterday’s Valkyrie’s game…Veronica Burton played 38 minutes AND stayed locked in on defense AND lead the team in scoring and assists AND didn’t miss a free throw. Goodness!

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social

Bummer that something was booked at Chase Center during WNBA playoffs before the Valkyries existed. Home court advantage is real at Ballhalla.

I wonder how people on top stay on top. Are they built different? Is that a cliché? Have they mastered a process? A peace?

I got really excited about some stamp designs at the post office. Being old is the best.

Just noticed on the Warriors schedule a 34-day span from Dec 28-Jan 30 where there are no two-day breaks. Games every other day or back-to-back during that span. Tough.

Also: Where to find the games nationally. Very excited the NBA is back on NBC. Imagine my shimmy to Roundball Rock.

Schedule’s out. Time to zoom in!

Cannot wait to ask Jimmy what it’s like to be attached to Buddy forever in bobble-head form.

I love reading something about the Knicks and KAT and then boom! This paragraph turned my nod of agreement into an uppercut.

“Rules, conventions, morals, reality itself, all exist, so long as their existence is convenient to the preservation of power. Otherwise, they, like all else, are expendable.”

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

I hope all the clothes I packed but didn’t wear on a trip came alive like Toy Story and had their own little holiday.

Are you telling me the same cabbie drove all the way from West Philadelphia to Bel-Air?

“The mysterious aquatic meeting” sounds like they were onboard Steve Zizzou’s submarine. frontofficesports.com/lebron-james...

How awful to learn the Valkyries lost Kayla Thornton, their leading scorer and rebounder, for the rest of the season with a knee injury. I’m glad KT got to experience All-Star Weekend before the injury.

He said out loud, “…what I said about Mary Kate was based solely on what others were saying on the internet…”??? And he specifically apologized to her dad???? 5yr/$85 mil for this chud water.

It’s a shame no one thinks of Steely Dan’s Reelin’ In The Years as a diss track.

Look at all that green real estate where betting ads could go. Just kidding, what a treat not to be bombarded! (Still in my Taking Pictures of A TV Screen Era, sue me)
