the content firehose is real and wide open today, @hollyanderson.bsky.social and I redid the draft rankings after episode 8 of the Righteous Gemstones' final season, it's really insane how dad bought you the cheaper genuine Rambo knife www.gq.com/story/your-r...

still kind of distressingly low numbers tbh

George Pickens' name was tossed around in trade discussions this past week. The Cowboys were one of the teams that discussed bringing in the Steelers' wideout, sources tell me. But with the draft in the rearview, expect the trade buzz to cool surrounding Pickens. Scoop City: bit.ly/4d3fpK3

i understand pats fans wanting to defend their team but the rest of us gotta still roast you sorry

Can't outsmart a team that has 56 general managers

Shedeur Sanders' tape may have kept him out of the first round. But highly underestimating the impact of the pre-draft process & how he presented himself to the NFL led to a slide we’ll be talking about for a while. Scoop City: bit.ly/4d3fpK3

I'm pleased by the election results but they're super awkward for me because "Bruce Fanjoy" is the name I used to comment on FARK back in 2004.

woke up early to watch Rockets-Warriors and am now jacked up on adrenaline at 8 AM

Much respect to the Eagles who refused the White House fascism normalization ceremony. (Especially Brandon Graham. He gets it.) Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Brandon Graham, Nolan Smith, Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean, CJ Gardner Johnson, Darius Slay, Quinyon Mitchell

Muriel E. Bowser is the hometown elected official, the city’s chosen champion, and she has prioritized arenas and stadiums as the foundation of her legacy. So Monday felt as significant as a Super Bowl win. Column by @candacedbuckner.bsky.social

The Warriors are now 25-8 when Jimmy Butler plays — and 25-6, a 66-win pace, when Jimmy, Steph + Draymond all play. They're +8.5 points-per-100 with Jimmy on the floor, and a killer +13.5 points-per-100 in Jimmy/no-Steph lineups. From March: On how and why Jimmy moves the needle: yhoo.it/3Dj2VjY

Just want to reiterate that Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra and I exchanged DMs several years ago and determined that he and I are NOT related. bsky.app/profile/deni...

Ironically, this is Pierre Poilievre this morning.

… Jeff Bezos, welcome to the Resistance?

Respectfully in terms of football….only $50M/year?? This would rank him 11th highest paid at his position. If salary cap next year reaches the expected amount of $300M, Brock Purdy would only count 16% of the cap….an incredibly reasonable deal for 49ers.

Co-sign. Key to this play isn't Draymond, it's Payton preventing the switch and Houston not trying again. Sengun had been murdering Warriors smalls all game. Once that failed and Sengun went to his 18% accurate floater game it was curtains.

Each year after the draft, I try to read between the lines to see what teams were thinking when they made the choices they made. That's what I did for today's Late-Round Podcast episode. Give it a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9...

Pro tip: don’t try interacting with communists on here. They make MAGA look like cuddly teddy bears. The level of hatred toward anyone that’s not them is off the charts. With normal liberal Democrats being their chief targets. Lots of blocks! 😬

These are all encouraging poll results but I'm trying to imagine what I would've thought if, in 2015, someone traveled back from the future to show me this. bsky.app/profile/dand...

Good Morning, here’s the Bow Island, Alberta flag and their water tower.

The whole "Zola's algorithm scans everyone's past to predict their future in order to assess threats" plot in "Captain America: Winter Soldier" hits extraordinarily different after watching even the most highly-touted real life AI shoot itself in the dick over and over since then.

someone put "Pete Kegsbreath" in my mentions last night and I'll give that one (1) 😂 for TODAY ONLY

logging on at my hotel !

RJ Harvey has the fantasy streets buzzing! @laquanjonesnfl.bsky.social doesn't want you to overthink it 🚀

Chinese food makes me sick.

George Kittle and the 49ers have agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million extension, he announced on Bussin' With The Boys. The $19.1 million AAV is a record at the tight end position.

Recruiting trip vs. a job interview is the best explanation I’ve seen for Shedeur’s visits

This text exchange with my daughter from 2017 pops up in my Memories on this date every year. Every year I am obligated to, once again, post it.

From the conversations I've had coming out of draft weekend, league sources tell me that they believe Shedeur Sanders' tumble would have played out differently if he had an agent. He would have been better prepared for the pre-draft process ⤵️ bit.ly/4d3fpK3

Ferrari’s SF-25 “goes into crisis” when low fuel and slow corners combine, it has been reported. www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-h...

#OnThisDay in ’79, at Jarama, Depailler won the #SpanishGP for Ligier, dicing with team-mate Laffite until Laffite missed a gear & buzzed his Cossie (you could do that with old-style Hewland H-gate ’boxes). Pic: Depailler sprays Moët with Reutemann, who finished 2nd for Lotus.

#OnThisDay in ’73 Fittipaldi (pic; taken by Schlegelmilch) won the #SpanishGP at beautiful Montjuïc, having stormed through the field from P7 at the start. But, had his Lotus team-mate Peterson not had a gearbox failure on lap 57, it would have been a Lotus 1-2, Peterson ahead.

Playoff Jimmy comes through in clutch, leads Warriors past Rockets 106-103, takes 3-1 series lead www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/pla...

Lovely pic of Damon Hill sitting in his father Graham Hill’s Lotus-BRM 33 prior to the non-championship #F1 #InternationalTrophy at Silverstone #OnThisDay in ’67. Hill Sr would finish 4th. The race would be won by Mike Parkes in a Ferrari 312.

#OnThisDay in ’51 Louis Rosier won the non-championship #F1 #BordeauxGP, from the pole, driving fastest lap en route, in this Talbot-Lago T26C. The circuit followed a 1.4-mile (2.3km) route around the city, skirting the River Garonne & looping around the Place des Quinconces.

Jimmy Butler moved ahead of Richard Hamilton in playoff scoring for No. 42 all-time. He also passed all these guys in rebounds for No. 88 in NBA history: Marc Gasol James Worthy Cliff Hagan Rajon Rondo

Draymond Green: "Imma always walk that line, that's who I am. Habitual line stepper"

Updated: Best performers in the playoffs so far, per HoopsHype Global Rating. Jimmy Butler Top 30 even though he's only played two full games.

I was on the plane for this Miami Game 4 and I'm absolutely gonna keep this replay on lol

Draymond: "I always walk that line. That's who I am. Habitual line stepper. Nah, I'm just playing." 😂

Fun fact: Buddy Hield is a team-high +31 this series.

Draymond says “I’ve always walked that line. Habitual line stepper.”

Steve Kerr: "I'm going to utter some words that have never been spoken before by anybody on earth... Buddy Hield you set the tone defensively tonight" 😂💀

Steve Kerr: “I’m gonna utter some words that have never been said: Buddy Hield you set the tone defensively.” from Hack-a-Adams to a savage locker room burn. elite night for Kerr

Inside the NBA sped up the highlights for Cavs-Heat Game 4 😭

Kings went 3-0 against the Mavericks too… one would have thought 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

The Warriors are 19-8 vs. Houston in the playoffs in the last decade.

Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler: “If it were the regular season, he’d probably miss another week or two. But it’s the playoffs and he’s Jimmy Butler.”

Here’s the late Draymond Green stop on Alperen Sengun, the flying Jimmy Butler rebound from the baseline and Green’s ensuing celebration. Warriors lead the series 3-1 over the Rockets

It's crazy to think that Butler was available at the deadline and there was barely any market for him at all. It's like when Lamar Jackson was available too, sometimes a league consensus on a player really can be flat out wrong, even when the player is already great.

Rockets have missed *35* free throws this series. They missed 12 free throws tonight, a game they lost by 3.

Raymond Ridder caught a stray in Steve Kerr’s press conference

Kerr: “If this were the regular season, (Jimmy) would miss another week or two.” Jimmy played 40 mins and finished with 27 points, and hauled in the defensive rebound that sealed the game.

Final: Marlins 6 Dodgers 7

the dodgers have the winning run in scoring position. if Miami is smart, they'll walk the bases loaded, putting the Dodgers in the worst position possible

Only possible caption for this photo is “The unmitigated GALL”

It’s not great for a team absolutely DESPERATE for shot creation.

a 55 point loss at home in an elimination game, jimmy dominating to basically win his series then emphasizing that he “got his joy back” in his postgame presser…. no one has had it worse tonight than heat fans

Reggie Miller: "Draymond Green was absolutely disgusted that they would put the ball in the hands of Sengun vs. him."

team needs a bucket and Jalen Green can't even get on the floor Jalen Green in Game 2 win: 38 points, 13/25 FGs (52%), 8/18 3s, 4/5 FTs Jalen Green in other 3 games combined: 24 points, 10/34 FGs (29.4%), 2/14 3s, 2/5 FTs

The Warriors hold off the Rockets in a wild Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead. Here's the finish, with Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller on the call for TNT. 🏀🎙️ #NBA #NBAPlayoffs
