consoling myself with the thought that sam darnold, super bowl champion, means that the jets are still more embarrassed than the patriots tonight.

Josh McDaniels is calling this game like he's afraid of the Seattle defense. To be fair: I get it. But at some point they gotta put some big bodies on the field and take shots like they did on the deep ball to Boutte.

LeBron not even getting to close one of his twilight games at MSG is brutal.

TK13 loves a big game

“To me, that's what great players do. They impact the game in a lot of different ways.” Mike Brown and Karl-Anthony Towns seem to have gotten on the same page. My latest as the Knicks go for their sixth-straight win: clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york...

Knicks have adjusted pick-and-roll coverages with KAT during this winning streak. Lots more icing. Always in some type of drop. He's been good at it. So it's probably no coincidence Brown's first TO tonight comes after a PnR where both KAT and OG follow the ball handler.

hoo boy this could be one of *those* Luka games….

idk how @nytpitchbot.bsky.social hopes to keep up with reality if things keep going like this

O’Hara was incredible forever, on SCTV, the Christopher Guest movies, Beetlejuice, Home Alone, etc. But she didn’t become as famous as her talent warranted until her 60s. Suddenly it was like everyone caught up to her, and she could’ve worked forever. To have her taken away at this moment? No.

Charles Tillman was one of those players you always loved watching because you could never rule out him making a big play out of nowhere. Would have guessed he was comfortable in retirement. Instead he joined the FBI until he found himself quitting over ICE raids. www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

Good half of football but I think we all can agree it would be better if there was a hailstorm and the QBs were struggling to throw the ball more than 10 yards downfield

not sure what the case for Bob Sanchez as anything but a backup is at this point. his talent is modest, and his concentration and tactical acumen have clearly plateaued at level charitably described as serviceable. he’s not a top flight keeper, and he’s not going to develop any further.

cole and reese not even being on the bench is definitely not helping to ease chelsea fans’ concerns about the precariousness of their fitness, regardless of it being carabao cup and not league play

govt efficiency guys is positively gleeful at hiring guys off the street and paying them 200k/yr to beat up nonwhite immigrants

If I had told you that Zac Taylor would be the only coach left standing in the AFC North...

Economists had expected payback from the November report in December but core CPI rose 0.2% MoM versus 0.3% expected. Core stable at 2.6% YoY. Getting stuck in with the details now but yields falling in response.

This is pretty cool, but the one thing that will get this lifelong Yankees fan right on a plane to BWI on off to Camden Yards is if the team ever partners with @audacityofdespair.bsky.social for an Omar Little bobblehead night.

“Cinema should be seen in cinemas.” — Stellan Skarsgård just won the damn Golden Globes. Rest of the night is just also rand getting boozy, which makes it even more watchable.

There is no compelling basketball reason for the Knicks to bring back Donte DiVincenzo, but watching whatever higher power he believes in seize Caleb Williams’ arm on that 4th down makes one realize the ‘Nova Pope from Chicago’s juice Upstairs is real and obliging of an intact corps of ‘Nova Knicks.

That second half by the Bears. The Cubs signing Bregman. Do not trifle with a Pope from Chicago. Do not do it.

THANK GUIU!!!!

Jinxed it. There’s the late match defense everyone’s come to expect from Chelsea this year.

Chelsea with a good old-fashioned but also too rare better players on the pitch set piece goal, and from the justifiably maligned Tosin to boot.

Hato’s off Hato you, Hato!

Maybe it’s just me watching from an American perspective, but medical staff putting Chelsea star players struggling to fully recover from soft tissue injuries strikes me as completely reasonable, yet British announcers have repeatedly treated is as an unforgivable slight against Enzo Maresca.

eh the first two there are mostly noise from managerial workers. Aggregate non-manager payrolls grew over 1% annualized (still a big slowdown but not zero) and hours were flat. Also the leisure/hosp thing is if anything a positive broadening...though not enough to offset the goods sector stuff.

Household survey is the definition of noisy in 1m snapshots, but the divergence between it and the establishment is enough to wonder if the shifts below don’t indicate HH treating part-time and slack work responses as employed. There also might be an issue with seasonal adjustment for holidays jobs.

The US economy has a case of AI Dutch Disease--sectors that produce no jobs are driving growth/wealth and keeping demand for capital and rates high at the expense of job creating sectors. A low UR says this is more structural than cyclical

I’ve been pro-Timmy since College GameDay and it’s cool that he’s like “I want to be the guy” and it’s actually happening for him.

there’s only one real choice for the next chelsea manager

I know nothing but it sure seems like Maresca tried to leverage City interest into more power at Chelsea and Chelsea were like “lol no. Byeeeee”

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught this

if there isn’t a tyler kolek blvd by tomorrow morning, new york has failed us

NBA Cup is a complete success. I do not care about any ratings or business metrics. Knicks bar just went wild for something that happened on December 16. They wouldn't have cared that much if they lost, but this brought joy to sports fans at an otherwise mundane time on the calendar. Major W

Spike Lee, who appears to be BLASTED, says that the 69-70 Knicks banner is a fake and he has the real one

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

If I’m Memphis, I’m trading Ja Morant sooner rather than later. Hope another team believes in the upside he showcased early in his career.

The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

So good

Don Ricardo

should AD retire after this game
