Heck of a thing to say in the year MMXXVI

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Sad to get such a clear reminder early in the season, but every title team has had good luck, which at the minimum mean AVOIDING bad injury luck to key players or at key times.

This is basically looking at a giant bill authorizing 4 bazillion dollars for flock cameras in front of every house but it also contains a provision that provides emotional support kitties to 1 family in every zip code and then yelling at critics of the bill for being anti-kitty.

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede after losing Brazil's presidential runoff to Lula. "It is impossible to acknowledge the election results. We will ask for the elections to be annulled."

This guy’s brain has been pudding for a long time, probably starting with when he gave me shit over something I wrote about basketball.

If you take the still photo after Embiid reachers that arm in at the start of the drive…

Man, this is a James Harden special. He wrapped himself around the defenders arm and claims he being held. He does it all the time:

I have a thing about support staff getting treated poorly, so when I say this was triggering…

If you're a connoisseur of on-brand James Dolan pettiness, grudge-settling, and ham-fisted dumbassery, have I got the article for you www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Someone is going to learn some hard lessons in Embiid… (On their night the 76ers are of course going to be awesome. How many nights do they have considering their personnel and kinda yikes depth is the question) (Also, everyone looks like they can guard when the opposition is missing)
