It's a little sad that Paul Allen isn't around to see this Seahawks championship and that it heralds the end of his ownership era

He we a pretty fantastic owner -- fervent fan, but not destructively intrusive or obnoxiously ego-stroking

As a 20-year displaced Grizzlies fan, this seems like a good day to declare my NBA fandom free agency

Since the Grizzlies have shifted to emulating the success-building strategy of the Sacramento Kings, I'm gonna need a new team

What's the Grizzlies average paid attendance at home next season? 🥺

The Grizzlies promising young core???

Cedric Howard
Zach Edey if his ankle's ever OK
Ty Jerome if he's ever OK
and..a bunch of late lottery picks

I feel like I've seen this movie

Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

Watching the end of Grizzlies-Hawks and really torn whether we’re cheering for an W or an L

W’s are MUCH more fun, but unclear what the Grizz’s goals are for this season are at this point and how the lottery plays into them

I hope Ja’s petulance lands him in Sacramento

If the Suns aren't going to bring back a high draft pick for the Grizzlies, we're gonna have to do it ourselves 😉

Glad the Grizzlies aren’t letting the NBA Europe trip distract them from tanking

yep, facade and esplanade and cod are all perfect rhymes for me

FWIW, I grew up in Boston, but have lived all over, so don’t have a recognizable Boston accent, but it certainly shaped my pronounciation

I'm beginning to think Ja might be "Questionable" at best for the rest of his Grizzlies career 😭

So glad Zach had surgery in the offseason to forestall ankle problem in the future

🤦‍♂️ (sigh)

Boy did the Tigers need that one. I don’t know if they’ll be able to do enough out of conference to build a resume, but a win has to do wonders for their morale going into this tough stretch

AVCX is one of my all-time favorite subscriptions. If you're a fan of crosswords of any type (especially my beloved favorite: cryptics), you should join their membership. You get fantastic puzzles and support a wonderful team of constructors, editors, and solvers alike.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a sooner-than-expected Ja return 🤞

Would be nice to have him back for some of those relatively winnable upcoming games

Rogue Ales, 1988-2025 — Beervana With the apparent permanent closure of Rogue Ales, it’s time to consider the legacy of this early craft brewery. It may surprise many drinkers who today think of Rogue as tame and boring to learn that...

Here’s the @beervana.bsky.social writeup on Rogue Ales I was waiting for #Beer #Beersky
