“I don’t think it takes long being here to see the camaraderie between these different guys. There were some real battles back in the day, but it’s fun. It gives them a chance to get out of the house and tell some stories.” www.bangordailynews.com/2025/09/03/s...

I’m watching the PTFO episode on this Kawhi thing. This is so damning. $28 million total. $7 million per year. No-show endorsement deal. The endorsement would terminate if Kawhi was not actively playing for the Clippers. youtu.be/1OwzYk6OCFM?...

hell? yea, brother

NEW: The reporting referenced here that Medomak Valley filed the complaint against Gorham LL is, according to my sources, inaccurate. After a conversation with Gorham, Medomak coaches asked Machias about the games played rule and when subsequently asked to file a complaint, they refused. Refused.

Fine, I’ll say it: AI has gotten a bad rap. People are all like “fuck AI” and “AI is bad,” but that’s a dramatic oversimplification. Sure, his career 42.5% shooting seems inefficient by modern standards, but Allen Iverson was one of the most exciting players in NBA history.

50 years ago, the NBA had $30mil in yearly revenue and was paying its top players $400k a year. The WNBA will have $500 mil in revenue next year and currently pays its top players $250k. Great piece on the “Pay Us What You Owe Us” campaign featuring econ prof David Berri, @wagesofwins.bsky.social

A great coda to Zach Harper's Athletic "Bounce" column today, vis a vis WNBA labor negotiation. "If you're not for the players getting what they're owed, I can only assume you don't believe you deserve a raise at your job either. You should believe in yourself more."

Sometimes the real championship is finding your way back home (and far away from Milwaukee)

I dunno, those ESPY clips look like Bro’s First Time on Stage.
