Completely normal. Sheesh.

The agent is embarrassed about having to testify, right? He doesn’t want to be there, right? He knows it is a sham, right?

Trying to win or get a temporary boost in ticket sales?

$130 million covers about a quarter of a day of military payroll . . . It doesn’t make any sense . . . Unless it is really some else 🤔

It’s just one game, but unlike anything we have ever seen before. Bilas describing it like watching someone play on a nerd hoop on their bedroom door captured it perfectly.

Not a good night for Reed— doesn’t look like an NBA player tonight

I don’t want that shit to go away because I want the other team to take them, especially off the dribble! Crowd the floor is lava region on offense my opponents! Congest it up!

I have never heard this before, but still remember when I realized Bob Dylan’s Fourth Time Around was a troll job of Lennon and Norwegian Wood.

“If, however, a player attempts to play an opponent from a position where she has no reasonable chance to perform without making contact with her opponent, the responsibility is on the player in this position.”

Even reffing youth basketball, these calls are incredibly difficult in real time.

I believe that these situations are separated out in the rule book, actually.

The rule book offers some explanation of incidental contact:

The question here would seem to be whether Thomas has a legitimate chance to make that play without making contact:

Somebody let RFK Jr get too close to the Tylenol. Need to put a childproof cap on the bottle.

I believe that is less than the transgender proportion of the population. Maybe he will look into why a proportion of the population that is maligned and marginalized refrains resorting violence and committing their proportion of violent acts? Or maybe he is just a bigot.

Yes, he’s usually much more crass . . . Just grab ‘em by the pu$$y

Would they prefer a pedophile protected by the institution?

This asks for a level of (self) reflection that moves well behind criticizing and assigning blame to players.

Books can change lives (I can tell you the 5 most important and life altering books that I have read), but we are raising a generation who process and discard in 30 second chunks.

When I ask students the most meaningful and life altering tik tok videos they have watched, they think I have 2 heads.

Not New Deal expensive, but you aren’t getting high impact tutoring for $20 an hour, either.

I am bearish on AI on this front. AI might help kids pass tests, but I am not sure that it will produce learning (changes to long term memory recall and positively altering thought process).

It’s also impossible.

Shea “Swift Fists” Serrano

I can’t tell you how many people I forwarded this column to; it also became mandatory reading for my teenage sons.

We are two weeks away from Trump lowering drug prices by 1400-1500%. Two weeks, that’s it! Give magic math its time.

Never leave a parking lot without it!

Everyone is talking and no one is saying a thing.

A major bridge along the I-95 corridor? Zero-sum Trump is a zero-step thinker. It’s exhausting.

Sir. Tears. Eyes. The rest of us have tears in our eyes, too. Cry, the beloved country.

Not your Jesus’s Catholicism.

I don’t understand why it is even a question. She has to be MVP. Collier has been great, but damn, A’ja has been carrying.

Is it wild, though? Or is it completely on brand? The cognitive dissonance that would result from connecting those dots would be so uncomfortable that it all but requires them to not connect the dots.

Most skilled player of all time if you interpret skill as having to manifest itself in 5-on-5, and I don’t think it is all that close.

I’ll never forget it. The best (at anything really) make it look so easy that novices are fooled into believing that it is easy. That moment changed how I evaluated effort and intensity forever.
