This Texans-Chargers broadcast has the vibe of a preseason game.

Went to a movie last night and a dude walked into the theater, yelled DRAKE MAYE, then quietly found his seat. Honestly didn’t mind it.

That time of year again!

Bill Kennedy is killing me, the pause and the sad face before saying the challenge is unsuccessful 😂

The two things are not remotely comparable. The Pacers blew up on arrival with an unending array of injuries. They’ve played 24 players - the most of any team in the league. They don’t just miss Tyrese’s shooting/playmaking. They miss his role normalization.

In the tune of The Moody Blues, Nights In White Satin

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

if i had a chance to write a john madden screenplay, i'd make it a screenlife film of him selflessly programming the madden games all by himself as the ungrateful and ignorant public complains about their bugs and glitches

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Bill Murray calling Chevy Chase, to his face, “Medium talent”

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Insults from You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch (the original), ranked from least to most hurtful: - Garlic in your soul - Heel - Heart full of unwashed socks - Crooked jerky jockey - Stink, stank, stunk - Mean one - Bad banana with a greasy black peel - Nasty wasty skunk - Cuddly as a cactus

I love this annual Ringer tradition, because it's superfun but also because it means I get to see my byline next to all these amazingly talented people (like Katie!). I have an item here on the Mavs, Cooper Flagg and the ever-fickle Basketball Gods. (I might have stolen a Depeche Mode lyric.)

when the NFL played on Christmas in 1971, people burned their tickets in public and a newspaper published the commissioner's address so people could write him letters things have changed! here's the story of how TV ratings, Congress, & the CBA led to the NFL stealing Christmas from the NBA

I just watched Kelly Olynyk check in for Luke Kornet and throw Bismack Biyombo an alley oop. I'm not sure what that means but it feels weird as hell

The WH comment Stelter is suggesting "60 Minutes" should've included, seen in his followup post to this one, was as responsive as someone saying "Deez Nutz" to the request for comment and would in no way have been included by any responsible journalist. Stelter knows this. bsky.app/profile/bria...

Re this 2-post thread: No journalists, including those at 60 Minutes, are obliged to include non-responsive quotes in pieces. Was the question to the White House "What should 60 Minutes cover?" If not, you do not have to grant them free airtime in a story in the name of "balance" or anything else.

Just thought I'd mention that I've started a substack to vent my baseball related spleen onto the world. Feel free to stop by and read and comment: vorosmccracken.substack.com/p/i-bet-your...

He may have more bad takes than all of the other bad takers combined.

Zero hitters projected to hit more than 18 home runs. Eight hitters projected to hit at least 16 home runs.

December 22, 1989: Boston’s Kevin Gamble drills a 70-foot shot at the end of the first quarter against Philadelphia. 76ers 89, Celtics 88.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

“Prime time. My time. Prime time. Our time.”

I like Dobbins. Bulldog, perfectly fine if he is the last guy in a rotation for a while type, but the Sox have better options now, and better options coming, and he needs major whiff and k improvement to get beyond that. Going to a much better situation for himself.

Multiple sources confirm that the Red Sox are acquiring Willson Contreras from the Cardinals. Like Sonny Gray, Contreras received some financial concessions -- his guarantee increasing from $41.5 million to $42.5 million, with a chance to earn $55 million if a 2028 option is exercised.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Not to be all “best sports city in the world!” but Boston rarely proves otherwise

It was 8:30 p.m. Monday, and a Brown University graduate who told police he is homeless posted a comment on Reddit. Here's how the Redditor, whose first name is John, gave the tip that cracked the case of the Brown University shooter: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/20/m...

The Donald J. Trump And Yankee Stadium sort of works.

Obviously it's bad but it is very funny/on-brand for Trump to be going around grafting "The Donald J. Trump And" onto stuff that people actually respect in the hopes of getting rounded up into it. The Donald J. Trump And Orioles Park At Camden Yards ass. The Donald J. Trump And Chrysler Building.

Are you detail-oriented and passionate about the Red Sox minor league system? We're looking to hire a Content Editor in 2026: bit.ly/4s7rYeo

1) This is great, unsurprisingly 2) I want to read a version of this for every sport, NFL included

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

I like Ketel Marte a lot. But if the Red Sox trade the assets that are likely necessary to get him and then Bregman (who is younger than Marte) signs with Arizona, that would feel like another crappy outcome this offseason.

After watching what Flagg (Maine kid) and Knueppel are doing as rookies, I've got some questions about Jon Scheyer. Knueppel basically got as many shots per game as Tyrese Proctor last year (9.7 to 9.6).

Looks like we've gotten more people on here lately. So it's time to share this if you're looking for more smart, fun, interesting accounts to follow for NBA, WNBA, and basketball in general go.bsky.app/FGmgtea

For decades, Cobbs Creek's Billy Gordon taped thousands of basketball games. There were big events (NBA Finals) and small (Pepperdine vs. Loyola Marymount in 1987). "He didn't miss much." Gordon died last May. His family is looking for a home for his life's work: www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

Al Michaels sure has called some memorable Seahawks endings.

If you think Luke Kennard and Kon Knueppel are similar players, think again. Kennard has no effing chance against Kon.

NEW: Brad Stevens weighed in on Jordan Walsh's breakout season: “These guys are young. I go to college games almost every weekend, and I’m watching prospects that are the same age or older some of the time, so you have to give them the grace of time." www.celticsblog.com/articles/127...
