The MNF football announce crew has gone downhill at a serious rate, they’re making this almost as unwatchable as a Cris Collinsworth broadcast.

Love the Brick’n for Chicken promo, I remember couple years ago when the Sixers sucked that it was about the only thing that got the crowd excited.

we have to think so much less about finding the right candidates and so much more about building political power that makes individual candidates simple stewards of the will of the bases they are accountable to

YouTube suggested a random episode of Yo MTV Raps from 1989, and it has a song I’ve never heard from some guy named The Jaz, and the video has a baby Jay-Z in it. Looked it up and everything. He doesn’t rap, and The Jaz is a Fresh Prince style storyteller rapper.

We may bitch about certain ownership groups in Philly, but thank goodness it's not this asshole

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

This blog is tremendous, fucking nails everything (although it maybe makes me feel even more existential dread). Unfortunately I don’t have any more Defector gift links available at the moment.

I’ll give it to Nick Wayne, 2 or 3 weeks ago he was absolutely awful going head to head on the mic with Jericho (like Jarrett getting ruined by MJF), but tonight he held his own, still needs work on his mannerisms and solo promos but he’s young and improving. #aew

Sorry LeBron James threw an alley oop to Jaylen Brown and the NBC announcers can’t even stop fluffing the Knicks to show any excitement or interest. Fucking Reggie Miller is the worst.

Watching what happens when the NBA refs have to choose between their superstar treatment versus major market championship team treatment combined with the home team treatment.

I remember being able to walk up to the box office and get $20 nosebleed seats to Knicks games in the late 80s. That wouldn’t even buy a drink there now I don’t think.

I have an occasional contrarian streak, especially when it comes to movies, and the more I hear/read about this Elizabeth Holmes movie the more likely that the only way I’ll see it is Clockwork Orange style.

Best of luck to Jalen, mans gets shit from so many “fans” but he went out and played with fucking blood clots in his lungs after not sleeping from pain. Gonna be a lot of people rightfully losing jobs because of this.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

At this point all I really want is Tet McMillan to get 100 yards receiving (a touchdown would also be great) and for no more Eagles to get hurt.

If I were a sports gambler, I would’ve put money on Texas losing the game after this play despite being up 17-3 at the time.

Texas has 4th and inches, a 6’5” 220 pound QB, and they run the play from shotgun and get blown up over their weak center. Just dumb.
