Our initial analysis is up.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

YouTube video by Vermont Green FC 2025 Vermont Green Recap: The Undefeated Season

As new adventures in 2026 wait right around the corner, we'll take one more fond look back at a 2025 campaign that no one will soon forget.

Recap the magic of the national championship season from the eyes of "The Invincibles" themselves. 💚

Rough Notes: The Great Basketball Escape Begins A winter road trip of basketball & making sense.

im on a women's basketball road trip writing residency? (aka on my bullshit)

Everything we've learned about how to beat the OKC Thunder The Thunder are suddenly struggling and revealing their weaknesses to the rest of the league.

It's happened six times in the last 13 games, but beating the Thunder still requires the right game plan, executed to perfection. #nbasky

Brilliant move by the Wizards to get themselves back in the race for the No. 1 pick. They were 5-5 in their last 10, saw they had fallen to No. 4 in the lottery odds. Then went out and got the one guy who could make their embarrassing defense even worse.

Writing about the Mavericks was a small step toward my own recovery — but it wasn’t enough One of our contributors shares a personal essay on recovery from alcoholism.

The best part of writing about basketball is the friends we make along the way. Happy for this writer and big kudos to Kirk and the Mavs Moneyball community for giving so many people over the years a place to belong.

YouTube video by Phil Lewis WATCH: Segment CBS News Pulled From "60 Minutes"

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

Some pre-solstice beer poking (bierstachlen) and fire dancing shenanigans with Stone Corral Brewing and Cirque de Fuego

That's a good point, that boundary shifting right is going to be about evolving league norms and the play of outliers like SGA and Jokić

I mean, just look at this. The most efficient high-volume scoring seasons of all time. Oh, and Jokić also leads the league in assists.

The NBA has never seen offense like Nikola Jokić and Gilgeous-Alexander You don't need to understand too many advanced stats to recognize history is unfolding before you.

There's still a lot of basketball to be played, but Jokić and SGA are on track for the two greatest offensive seasons we've ever seen.

Rashad McCants is explaining the true cost of NBA dreams McCants lived his NBA dreams for just four short years, but he's making sure his lifetime of experience is passed on to the next generation.

I got the chance to talk to Rashad McCants about his NBA career, the lessons he learned and his second act trying to speak for the 99 percent of NBA players who don't play for decades and make hundreds of millions of dollars.

Anyway, check out the whole thing. So many beautiful, funny, insightful, thoughtful, joyous and heartbreaking pieces about what it means to be a fan of something and everything that comes with it.

So lucky to have this job and get to work with so many amazing people.

The Golden State Valkyries were powered by the fans who filled Ballhalla An expansion roster, a fearless coach and a fanbase ready to erupt turned Ballhalla into one of the most powerful new homes in sports fandom.

There are a ton of incredible pieces in here that I DID NOT write, but I'll just call out two. We were so lucky to have @roughnotes.bsky.social share her Valkyries fandom with us:

How Vermont Green FC turned a whole state into a fanbase In just four seasons, Vermont Green FC turned a fourth-tier soccer club into a statewide community.

I wrote a bunch of different things for the package, but I'll just highlight the one that hits closest to home (literally): In just four seasons, Vermont Green FC turned a fourth-tier soccer club into a statewide community where wins, values and belonging all matter.
