It is sad how far this sport has fallen in the national cultural fabric in this country. The stewardship of this sport by its highest ranking executives in the last two decades can only be described as a failure. www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

This is a hella impressive win for the Lakers at altitude. Answered every Nuggets run all game. Turnover differential says it all.

Christian Braun has defended Luka Dončić as good as anyone in the NBA tonight. Grinding every possession. Active hands. Not fouling. Excellent work.

The US deserved that ending. It’s ok to say it. It’s true.

I thought Matthews had that.

Since I’m just parachuting into this tournament I really hope that if this stays tied we get the full OT experience and not some 3 on 3 crap for 5 minutes and then a shootout.

Credit where due, really pretty short side goal over the blocker from Canada. This is a hell of a hockey game.

That performance on the kill from Jack Eichel is the good stuff.

Watching Joel Embiid is one of the least aesthetically pleasing things in professional basketball.

Luke Kornet hammer! Where did that come from!?

To address some understandable concerns: Spurs are optimistic Wembanyama will recover in time for next season. Not worried about his long-term health. I’m told this is not as serious as the Chris Bosh blood clot issue.

Fifteen. Next year this handsome devil can drive. He’s been with us for ten years and I treasure every day we have with this (now) sugarfaced chunk. Happy Birthday Ernie.

It was a solid show for SNL 50. A solid B. Better than the 40th Anniversary special. Some hits. Some misses. And a lot of in between.

You can hear these pictures

SCHMITTS GAY YES

This has been a B/B- so far on SNL 50. Lonely Island, Eddie Murphy and Tina/Amy have been the good parts. Everything else has been a miss.

Don’t think we need to see Sabrina Carpenter again for the next two hours, thanks.

This will haunt LSU for a while. They had this. Texas ripped it away.

HOOK EM

Will fully admit I can’t stand LSU women’s basketball as a Hawkeye fan but at some point the coach’s box either exists or it doesn’t when it comes to Kim Mulkey.

First one to 35 wins this Texas-LSU game. Rock fight isn’t strong enough to describe this start.

UPSET: UConn snaps South Carolina's 71-home game winning streak in dominant fashion, walking away with a 87-58 statement dub. UConn's first top-5 road win since Dec. 2018, first top-5 road win *by 20+* since March 2014 Signature win for Huskies; third loss on the year for SC

Mac McLung has earned more money winning dunk contests ($310k) than he’s made in his NBA career ($132k).

The chemistry between Luka and LeBron is already so clean. This is only going to get better.

In Phoenix for work and I didn’t think a stadium could look more like a CostCo than where the Brewers play but this Diamondbacks place is like a Costco crossed with an airplane hangar. They really strayed off the path when building baseball stadiums from like 1997-2010.

Big Dom giving Sirianni the towel after the Gatorade shower was the consigliere move we needed to see on television.

Worst Super Bowl since Seahawks-Broncos.

At the Deathbed, by Edvard Munch, 1895

I’m happy for three guys more than anyone else. Saquon Barkley. Jalen Hurts. But most of all, Nick Sirianni.

Few people have done as much to extend the reach and share the passion of their sport than Hubie Brown. Happy trails to one of the all time legends in any sport.

Other than Thanksgiving, today is my favorite food holiday of the year.

AD: "I'M HERE"

The scene outside the American Airlines Center:

97 days until the 2025 WNBA season starts

And they’re going to add Luka Dončić to this.

Everybody pitching in down the stretch. Huge triple from T-Mac

SYDDDDDDDDDDDD

Hannah Stuelke is a baddie, man.

Klay Thompson having one of those might score 30+ in a quarter type nights.

You could go even further back and say the Suns turned a #1 overall pick into … Grayson Allen. In a draft that had Luka Dončić.
