“Slow pokes” - Mike D’Antoni

Thing is there’s this expectation that by virtue of being NYC, the birthplace of basketball, greatest city in the world, playing at the Garden, etc, is sufficient selling point to get some megastar to sign with the Knicks. And evidence has been, time and again, that it is just not true. Wasn’t true this year. Wasn’t…

Austin Rivers wants to know what he did to lose his crown like that. It was all shiny and glittery and his Dad bought it just for him before cutting his ass.

Here’s what we know: there’s more money than talent out there. That invariably leads to overpaying and overpaying players that won’t ever live up to the contracts they sign. In a few years’ time, those contracts will become the “expiring deals” that will allow teams to swap talent and draft picks around so they can do…

An average of 146 pitches in a baseball game X 162 regular season games = 23,652 pitches. You can’t be up for every time the ball goes into play.

But without the Jaguars doing that, we wouldn’t have the gloriousness that is “Blaine is a Real American”

Didn’t the Rockets take a step back this year from being one of the two best teams in the West to being the 4th seed? Meanwhile the Bucks under Giannis leapt ahead of Philly, Boston and (eventual champs) Toronto to win the most games in the regular season — ahead of even Golden State.

I imagine the hardest part of transitioning out of football was how suddenly one goes from being “a football player” to not being one. That loss of identity has to be a shock to the system, specially since you’ve likely thought of yourself as a football player for most of your life.

Mr. Met’s plan to wipe away student loan debt and sign Anthony Rendon and Robbie Ray seem to be in direct opposition to one another.

“as drafted the bill threatens to alter materially the principles of intercollegiate athletics and create local differences that would make it impossible to host fair national championships”

Megan looked slow and lost. Everything she tried to pull off appeared to happen a second later than it should. TBF, many up front did the same too. Alex I’ll excuse on this much: Spain was doing a good job of marking her out of the match. That left Heath to carry the burden and she was game but it was a lot.

Not the best game for Team USA even if they ultimately won. They looked shaky in the back, seemed to run short of ideas as Spain kept its shape and always appeared to be a step slower than normal. Spain could have had them had they put as much effort in the final third as they did fouling during the match.

Given how Spain were fouling all over the pitch and how the ref was casually letting them get away with it, I have no issue with the penalty.

My one caveat in all this: there should have been a Mets PR person making sure that, after the initial blow up, Callaway did not get a chance to go back at Healey and making things worse. Yeah, he’s a grown-ass man who should know how to behave in the manner that befits the manager of the Mets and emotions are already…

But isn’t that what everyone means when they talk about “the glare of New York” and anyone that plays for a NY team? If someone is doing a bad job in Kansas City or Minneapolis, they have a few media outlets and reporters who’ll talk about it, try to interview them, report on it, etc. But in NYC, there’s hundreds of…

Yup, these are his readers

Aaaaannnnddd the good feelings everyone round Lakers land had after finally getting Anthony Davis have now gone poof. Good job, Rob. Good job.

What’s even the point of police body cams if they cut off/cut out/don’t record the very encounters they’re supposed to?
