Incredible bit by Love Island UK to have on a guy who’s played college soccer for New Hampshire (!) and FAU (???)

There have been 8,315 men selected into the NBA in 78 years. None of them took as unlikely of a path as what Cedric Coward has walked. Big feature on an incredible guy who went from zero-star prospect, a terrible D-III team to first-round lock. It is a story without parallel in basketball history.

on one hand: obviously on the other: if they're not going to let anyone under the age of 40 with a good idea have any influence they'll just replace Schumer with an Amy Klobuchar type

I’m shocked by this for several reasons. But mostly I am surprised Chet Holmgren put out probably the single worst half of his professional career?

Lotta incredible things about the 2025 Tigers but getting Javy Baez to turn back the clock a full four years might be #1

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

Scary read here. Be safe over the next week everyone, check in on the elderly in your life.

Fun thing I like to do as the draft nears is use @barttorvik.bsky.social's filters to create some agendas (and see how accurate the draft night comps are). As an example: did you know Nique Clifford of Colorado State may be the next Jalen Williams?

A pox on the decision-maker(s) at Google that placed this nebulous "AI Mode" button next to the most commonly-clicked thing on a search. I hate it, thanks.

I admit to feeling bad for McDavid (and Draisaitl by extension). I should not, but the Oilers are entering the Vikings Zone where you’re like “surely they’re going to eventually get one” and they don’t.

Did not expect to see a million words about Utah basketball in my inbox today. Hoping Craig Smith gets another chance to wreck a mid-major league in the Upper Midwest/Badlands region.

Looking at the timeline and can see that a lot of different but definitely cool things are escalating in ways that will produce completely unforeseen horrors. Love this for us.

Hi. I have a new article up about Craig Smith, Utah basketball, simulations gone awry, and the worst-case scenario. 5,000+ words and free. statsbywill.substack.com/p/the-utah-r...

He really is the Voice of Lightness. Has anyone's nickname ever been more perfect? www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HAF...

You gotta feel at least a little bad for Bob Myers. He’s just an average, fine, middle-of-the-road analyst. Nothing amazing, nothing awful. Yet he might as well be Socrates compared to the halftime castmates.

the ESPN halftime desk vibes are “unpleasant uncles you stick at a table in the corner at a wedding reception”

Context dependent but imo if the crew is calling a tech this early in the game you’ve probably got a couple more in you before night’s end.

Interesting that showing the player intros instead of an idea-free four-person panel actually makes the game feel bigger. Who woulda thought?

It’s genuinely unfathomable to anyone south of, like, 29 that ESPN was at one time an incredible network.

Honest to God one of the most boring hits I can ever remember. My wife claims “surely you’ve heard it” and maybe I had before this video but I have never heard a #1 hit so purely unmemorable???

FYI Bill Simmons got back into being a daily Sox watcher this year. Next pod will be hilariously bad and delightful.

SVG winning a couple years back was cool but I wasn’t sure how repeatable it was, this is just a straight-up demolition of the entire field. He’s so good.
