Like do a crossover with Sleepy Hollow!

Omg I forgot about this. Honestly, once you introduce a TV show in 2005 where the leads are youngish people named Temperance and Seeley, I guess you can do anything.

The worst general managers Is that fair? That I sat down to write about Nico Harrison but wrote the title of the column first? Well, is he? To his credit, Nico Harrison didn't blow the Cooper Flagg selection. NAILED THAT. To ...

Of all the words about Nico Harrison, it's probably as simple as this: "A non-basketball executive who made his way over from a shoe company, Nico never shoulda been hired."

His bio reads like he lost custody

I've forced myself to ask for utensils most of the time. I'm also a left-handed writer who uses a fork right-handed, so I'm sure that doesn't help.

Magic Johnson taking over this post-game show lol. But lovely praise for Freddie Freeman, who is appropriately shy about compliments.

headline saying "Justin Bieber, Sandy Koufax headline World Series Game 3 attendees"

What a headline

Kings are not a great defensive team, but it's amazing to see Reaves command so much attention that much lesser offensive players are getting wide open.

Austin Reaves. Wild to see him thrive when he has to be a No. 1 option

Ayton is ... something to watch. Obviously skilled, puts up numbers but the experience is always worse than the box score suggests

What an opening week of basketball.

Also, lol, that familiar Aaron Gordon-Steph Curry shootout

This is the Aaron Gordon the Magic dreamed about. Good lord

Podz is perenially on my fantasy team, but man he really looks like Jeremy Allen White if his life was going badly

Pleasantly surprised at how unchanged Inside the NBA is

They haven't said that's the reason but I have to imagine it's related

he played golf for the 1st time in the offseason, then suddenly has sciatica. It's very annoying, but also the most "40-year-old man" thing possible

why did NBC suddenly forget how to broadcast without the feed freezing every 5 seconds? Or is it an xfinity problem?

The Wayback Machine’s snapshots of news homepages plummet after a “breakdown” in archiving projects Between May and October 2025, homepage snapshots fell by 87% across 100 news publications.

The Wayback Machine’s snapshots of news outlets’ homepages have plummeted in recent months — Nieman Lab reporters @andrewdeck.bsky.social and @hanaatameez.bsky.social found they declined by 87% starting in May of this year. They decided to find out why. buff.ly/rhtRGcr

I think the NBA on NBC show was fine? They can't be TNT but they also went more than 90 seconds without a commercial break, unlike ESPN.
