I just can't get over the size of these SoFi on-court ads man. I will never, ever accept this because I refuse to believe this is at all necessary.

Elect me president and I vow that on Day 1, I will sign an executive order making it illegal for the Lakers' uniforms to ever have black side paneling on them.

The way Embiid moves now reminds me of when you're controlling a player in NBA 2K whose stamina is down to zero but you're keeping them in the game anyway. It honestly worries me to still see him out there.

This Nets-Sixers game is between a pair of teams with a 20-35 record and yet it's a game with playoff implications for both teams, incredibly.

I watched Captain America: Brave New World (2025). It was getting dreadful reviews so I feared the worst, but it's okay. (It's way better than Quantumania, for ex.) My big issue w it is that it focused more on the president in the movie than CA, which irked me. But like I said, it's alright.

I'm off to see Captain America. My expectations are uh... lo, but eh, we'll see!

It sure is weird how these guys keep purposefully associating themselves with the salute that's synonymous with Hitler...

This Donovan Mitchell missed layup from a couple days ago is one of my favorite highlights of the year because it's kind of mesmerizing.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

Something very very cool is discovering that Hideo Kojima's English account is officially on here at @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp. (There were some imitator accounts pretending to be him earlier, but if you search his Twitter you'll see he confirmed this is really him.)

Somewhere deep in my mind, I've always wondered if a murder could ever take place inside the White House, and I feel like if one doesn't happen within the next four years, it's just never gonna happen.

the AL central has proven it cannot be expected to govern itself reliably. it's time to admit it should be relegated or reassigned to a mix of canadian regional teams with japanese corporate support and sponsorship as necessary

Society fell off once movie trailers stopped regularly featuring guys who sounded like Don LaFontaine. We need to bring back not just narrators in movie trailers, but narrators who sound like they have a lifelong smoking addiction.

The single most important thing to do when new people join here is to put a starter pack in front of them as soon as humanly possible. No one wants to be a part of a platform they think is quiet, and lots of ppl have no idea who's on here when they join. SP's reeeeeeally help keep people invested.

Something I believe with 100% certainty is that if ESPN tweaked SportsCenter so that it went back to how it was in 1999 - same set, set graphics, same pacing, same highlights music, same jazz theme, etc - but w modern hosts, its ratings would not only rise but skyrocket.

I'm prepared to start inserting pin cushions into my Adam Silver voodoo doll if the @nba.com account doesn't start posting soon.

The duality of Adam Scott being in both Severance and Madame Web is a metaphor for life itself.

ESPN was once so synonymous with sports in America that ESPN would contextualize sports history as having happened before or after 1979 - because that was the year ESPN was founded - and sports fans actually went with it. People used to actually be like "Wow, that's the lowest ERA in the ESPN era."
