Not sure Bill even bothers to take the flight back to Chapel Hill. He’s heading down to Carmel this weekend.

Bill Belichick coaching a game that kicks off at 10:40 pm ET on a Friday night is so funny

They’re gonna lose to Pitt 3-2 and that’s gonna knock them out of a playoff spot

To the owner who’s mad about publicizing a private convo, what are you saying behind closed doors that you don’t want coming to light?

Still, the commissioner is primarily tasked with representing the owners, not the players, amid negotiations such as the CBA talks. But multiple team owners told ESPN they are also unhappy with Engelbert's leadership. "If I had a vote," one owner said, "I would probably ask for a replacement." It seems unlikely that any major leadership change will happen while CBA negotiations continue, and Engelbert told reporters at the Finals she's "never been a quitter."

"If you fire her now, it's admitting weakness. It's a terrible look for the league," another owner said. "I can't stand what [Collier] did. That was a private conversation. It makes me not want to fire her, even though I think she should be fired."

I guess this can also be attributed to the fact that NBA owners are increasingly the same kind of rich VC guy

"Commissioner Adam Silver regularly talks about artificial intelligence, adaptive game streams and an NBA ecosystem so futuristic it may seem ripped from the Jetsons."

Unless she was running cover for Sky ownership, Cathy was the one who publicly said they couldn't do outdoor public events because of "security" concerns

How much were the Sky to blame for 2022 All-Star Weekend? I always assumed the leagues themselves were responsible for a lot of the logistics with ASG festivities.
