I am once again recommending that you watch the Paramount+ show School Spirits.

I am rooting for the Blue Jays but mostly I just hope that both teams have a good time.

The way that Jeter just looked at ARod was exactly the same way as my older cat looks at my smol cat when the smol cat has worn down his last good nerve.

I have been in close enough proximity to him that I was made dumber by overhearing his conversation.

I was talking to @matthewhleach.bsky.social about how Hugh Freeze ended up at Auburn and I was like ‘do you think that college football coaches have to take the same cybersecurity training that other university employees do?’

I am from Indiana and I want Oregon to drop 100 on IU after McAfee picked them.

The crowd is booing Cathy so loud. Good job, everybody.

Happy Midwest Windows Open season to Dewey.

One of my favorite nuggets from the Unrivaled season was Angel saying “Sabrina can‘t fucking guard” on a mic while in a team huddle. It’s pretty niche, but I would tune in to see someone in the Gameday crowd holding a sign that says that.

And the brief seems to be trying to understand whether we should view these LLMs as “malevolent masterminds.” Which, okay, I guess.

I’m reading a news brief in Nature about a report that found that in a virtual scenario, at least some of the LLMs involved in the experiment “took steps that would lead in the death of a fictional executive who had planned to replace them.”

Even though I am happy with an Aces win, I owe DB an apology. I was unfamiliar with her game.

Okay, Blue Jays!

Bonner actually successfully made a three-point shot!

I asked @matthewhleach.bsky.social how many shirts he thought the Mariners fan was wearing.

I went on a rant about Collars & Co. yesterday.

I do appreciate how shocked Bonner looks every time she misses a shot that doesn't even hit the rim.

If I’m Vegas, I’m making it so that Bonner has to (attempt to) make a lot of shots from deep.

A true story is that one time I went to the FSU/Miami game when it was in Miami and I almost got punched by a Miami fan.

Phee seems to have the support of A LOT of the players. Cathy chose to say that Phee’s statements contained inaccuracies because, presumably, she couldn’t say that her statements weren’t true. Probably not a good way to get everybody back on the same page, tbh.

First the WNBA Countdown crew roasted Cathy’s presser then Phee cancelled their meeting. Cathy might not be a quitter, but that don’t mean they aren't going to fire her.

I went on a muti-minute rant about how if the Collars & Co. people wanted to help you pull a fast one, they should have buttons that go all the way down the shirt. If you wear that shirt with a blazer, people will still know you’re wearing a golf shirt. The starched collar won’t fool them.

Ruocco says “Bonner to tie!” as she tried to make a three and I started cackling.

Cathy Englebert’s presser raised a lot of questions that her presser was meant to address.

You can tell I live in Minnesota but am not from Minnesota by how annoyed I am at how warm it is here right now.

Announcer: Aces are on the brink of going to the finals.
@matthewhleach.bsky.social: Cusp. Brink is something bad.
Me: Have you seen how many opposing players the Mercury have taken out?

You know how good this game is? They’ve finally stopped talking about Caitlin Clark.

Those Stranger Things jerseys are just so ugly.

Countdown moved onto ESPN2 where it belongs. All’s well that ends well.

It’s on ESPN2. They had the first few minutes of Countdown on ESPNU while the baseball game on ESPN finished up.
