Bill Zito got em all(?) — discounted(?!)

A kid from a place who's cuisine is BOIL EVERYTHING eating Texas brisket and it destroys his goddamn mind USA USA USA

So, two years after refusing to engage with the Heat and trading Dame to the Bucks, the two big pieces of the Blazers’ return package have been bought out (Ayton) and traded away/traded for again (Jrue). Joe Cronin needs to pay for his crimes.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Well, that and the generational wealth

Man of his word. Sam Bennett: 🐐

Here are some good dogs to help break up the existential dread on the skyline today

Oklahoma posted a top-10 finish in the Directors' Cup standings for the 2024-25 athletics year. It's the second-best finish for the Sooners in the history of the competition.

Jeremiah Fears became the first Oklahoma player drafted since Trae Young seven years ago. That's not lost on Fears. "(I'm gonna) approach everything the same way — to kill and to make the right reads... Personally, I don't believe in pressure because I trust my work and know what I'm capable of."

Oklahoma point guard Jeremiah Fears is heading to NOLA. The Pelicans selected the 18-year-old Fears with the No. 7 overall pick in the NBA Draft. He's the fourth top-10 pick from Oklahoma since 2009, joining Blake Griffin, Buddy Hield and Trae Young.

Makes more sense.

Did Adam Silver just say 700,000 estimated at the OKC parade yesterday?

Scoop: College basketball's regular season is expanding. Barring an unexpected push against the move (extremely unlikely), the change will be made official later this afternoon, sources tell CBS Sports. Here's the how and why of going to a 32-game schedule, starting in 2026.

The NBA Draft begins tonight. Jeremiah Fears is set to be Oklahoma’s first first-rounder since Trae Young in 2018 — and is almost assuredly a top-10 pick. A final roundup of where the 18-year-old point guard is projected to be selected tonight.

An undeniably beautiful shot from today’s Thunder parade that captures the growth of the city and what it has overcome over the last 30 years to get to this moment — and just how much that title means to OKC. (via the OKC National Memorial IG story; taken — I believe — by Thunder photog Jimmy Do)
