Homegrown Hezarkhani's debut goal lifts Real Salt Lake by Seattle in home opener If Real Salt Lake's home opener in the club's 22nd season in Major League Soccer is to be believed, the kids are all right.

The #RSL youth movement is alive and well

At some point, the NBA prioritized business over basketball, and Sarah's story highlights this perfectly.

The NBA’s loyalties have shifted from what’s best for teams, to what’s best for gamblers Lauri Markkanen being injured, rather than playing in a limited capacity is better for the oddsmakers

Away from microphones and cameras, the players, coaches and executives in the league believe that the recent ire over tanking is completely tied to gambling. It’s hard to argue against that:

few units in CFB I loved covering more last year than the Arizona defense that was led by a safety room that is testing their ASSES off today. Stukes with the 3rd fastest 40 and tied for top broad, just ahead of Genesis Smith who had the highest vert. Dalton Johnson not far behind either.

Amazon studio crew has been amazing. The NFL broadcasts are well done even though the games are meh.

I had this exact thought the other day. Very rarely have I ever had a preferred broadcast network but ESPN has wrecked things to where I only want NBC/Prime etc broadcasting games from here on.

Hey folks, @nbasarah.bsky.social and I are recording our annual post All-Star Break mailbag episode on Sunday. Hit us with any questions you'd like, be they basketball-related or not.

Is there a legitimate reason to keep watching Jazz games this season beyond "development"?

This is a fantastic story, btw.

How mandatory national service — not military service — would benefit young adults.

Mike Alstott was RUMBLING

Go ahead and opt me out of all the "Will this be the last time LeBron <insert action>" content/discussion etc. I'm good. We don't need it.

This is a symptom of what I've felt is the bigger problem with ASW in the NBA. It's all a front for the NBA to put on a massive corporate schmooze event on mid-season. Almost none of it is about basketball anymore.

As an aside, Stephen Nelson is one of the best media personalities out there these days.

I don't know what the future of mixing broadcasting and AI holds, but I absolutely loathe the idea of hyper-personalization if it removes the communal nature of sports.

Honestly, less is sooo much more for me these days consuming sports.

Can we find Scott Foster while we're at it?

Thank goodness Scott Foster remembered that we all came to watch him tonight. i was super worried he was fading away...

Another "Who He Play For" All-Star

I'm here for capitalism, but it is simply astounding to me how often I think to myself "Did no one else watch The Wire?" because the phrase "a man must have a code" is so applicable. We have a morals and ethics issue in our world above all else.

There is so much about AI that is great and powerful and full of potential benefit to mankind and instead we're pitching it to bump quarterly earnings and meme everything because PROFITABILITY IS EVERYTHING.

instead of watching the Olympics I am just reading Rodger's newsletter every day. it's great! AND it gives you the bonus opportunity to restart World War I, which we are doing at Rodger's request

AI researchers are sounding the alarm on their way out the door | CNN Business “The world is in peril,” warned the former head of Anthropic’s Safeguards Research team as he headed for the exit. A researcher for OpenAI, similarly on the way out, said that the technology has “a po...

"In just the past few days, a number of high-profile AI staffers have decided to call it quits, with some explicitly warning that the companies they worked for are moving too fast and downplaying the technology’s shortcomings," writes Allison Morrow. | Analysis

That was awesome and also just devasting. Would have made a fantastic movie, and we lost a truly talented actor far too soon. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.

Williams added an outward facing screen to the screens that driver look at while they're in the garage and they put eyes on it like Cars #F1

Zach Guthrie...former Jazz coach?

New-look Pac-12’s 2026 football schedule features unique ‘flex’ games (Gift Article) Each school will have a “flex” rematch game on the final weekend that will not count toward conference standings but serve league interests.

With 8 teams, everyone in the Pac-12 will play each other once.

But they will rematch against someone on the final weekend, as determined to be in the Pac-12's best interest (with some conditions).

You can't lose em all. Good job, good effort Jazz.
