Happy NBA Draft Day, Bulls fans. Just a reminder that this shot cost us Cooper Flagg. youtu.be/3Tnw3TzTcsg?...

It's a minor thing. But the NBA needs to synch trade eligibility and the draft. There's no reason the 10th pick of the draft needs to take photos wearing a Rockets hat when everyone knows he's going to Phoenix.

The NBA not playing on Father's Day is 100 times the miss that not painting the court was.

Gotta love June. Sun is shining. Birds are singing. Every team in baseball has double-digit wins.

Cena v R. Truth needs to end with R. Truth announcing the assassination of Bin Laden.

All Cooper Flagg has to do is become a top-3 player, and he can join Luka in LA.

The Bulls have the worst fucking luck of any team in pretty much anything sport.

Go Cubs

Tomorrow ends the first full month of baseball, and the Cubs have yet to give up a single run to a team under .500 ...

Bears fans went from "Free agency allows them to go BPA" to "They need to take linemen!" really fast.

Gladstone knows you can't just turn off the XBox when this doesn't work out, right?

I'm admittedly biased since Wiley Ballard was my roommate, but I laughed way too hard at him getting a fan's number.

Happy "The Beast" release day to all who celebrate.

Travis Hunter is special for doing something he just won't do in the pros - play both ways. He's likely a shutdown corner or a likely #2 WR. For my money, he's not good enough at either to be the #2 pick. So, of course, the Browns want to take him at #2 to play WR.

The torpedo bats are legal. For now. If the Yankees continue to get results like they have this weekend, they will eventually be banned.

Great. So not only does thing exist, but now we don't even have hot dog

That links not gonna work for me, brother. www.si.com/fannation/wr...

There are plenty of rational counter arguments to Molina's HOF candidacy. His primary arguments for induction include: -Longevity -Durability -Won when paired with the best player in baseball. -Tricked umpires. None of these are actual HOF measurements.

In 2023, the Bears likely lost a mid-round comp pick because they signed Byron Pringle. In 2025, they likely lost another mid-round comp pick because they s8gned Geral Everett. I stg if they lose a 2026 comp pick because they signed Zaccheaus...

I've never seen Steiner math used in the wild before.

##DaBears DLine improved this offseason the same way the OLine improved last year. There are a couple of new guys. We hope those new guys are better than the old guys. They probably aren't in any tangible way.

It was 70 degrees Monday. It was 30 degrees when I woke up today. This Is March.

The one thing the Bears are missing, that they can likely ONLY get at pick 10, is an elite pass rusher. An OL that could replace either Jones or Jackson in 2026 can be found in Rd 2. A RB to compliment - or inprove on - Swift can be found in Rd 2 and Rd 3. This is an easy choicem

I think Jeanty can be special. I also think Braxton Jones is going to get $25+ million in FA next year. That the Bears will have to choose between him and Jonah Jackson. That Thuney and Jackson will be 33. And that the draft is 2-3 times deeper at RB than the OL and DL... Draft linemen.

When it comes to NFL FA, paying a premium for potential rarely works. There are Miltons and Odeyingbos every year. And more often than not, those guys find themselves right back in FA two years later.

Does Milton Williams still get the Carolina signing bonus?

Jackson has injury concerns. Thuney is 32. Both are very good. Both are significant upgrades. ##DaBears still should draft an OG in Rd 2.
