Oscar. It was always Oscar. I’m excited to see Oscar and Max fight it out on the track for years to come. Lando, Charles, and George can battle for luxury goods endorsements and fan girl social media likes.

Chris will not only sign Skub to a 7 year deal until his retirement. He will then be named President and GM and be given a secret lifetime contract to stay in that role however long he chooses with no oversight or accountability.

Rob Blake fired as Kings GM after 8 seasons. They never won a playoff series under his reign. 5 first round exits. Hard to believe the last series they won was the 2014 Cup Final over the Rangers. Nice to see that’s it possible to fire an unsuccessful GM even when he’s a former hall of fame player with the team. I wish that would happen more often in the league.

Maybe he just wanted a better basketball program.

It’s very possible that more is coming from the football program under his watch and he’s Harbaughing out of it.

Is Ron Washington still abusing cocaine? If not, he may want to start again

Is this really going to happen again?

Cade missed a single contested layup at the end and now he’s complete trash and his future is a question mark? Yes, he missed a bunch of wide open shots earlier but if makes that one bucket at the end, none of you are questioning him. I get emotions are high but dogging one of the top 10 seasons by a player in Pistons history all over a single play is ****ing stupid. You are all better than that.

I was at the one one Middlebelt which is technically Farmington Hills. It’s a couple miles away from the one on 5 mile.

I drove by there yesterday on my way to sliders at Bates on Middlebelt.

This reminds me of a sushi restaurant that I used to frequent when I lived in California. Great, great location with ample tourist and local foot traffic. They were successful for the first few years and then it slowed down to the point that they went out of business. A few months later, a different owner started another sushi restaurant in the same space. They made no changes to the inside except a new name on the front and a fresh coat of paint. The quality of fish was the same, and the menu had only minor differences. The only significant change was in leadership and management. The owner of the new restaurant was exuberantly friendly. Same with the sushi chefs, bussers, hosts, and everyone on staff. They would happily give out free carafes of their low end sake but it made everyone feel like they were regular. They did a great job of remembering the faces that came in and making people feel special and at home. It wasn’t long before there was an hour wait on most nights. Flash forward a decade, the restaurant is still packed. There’s not as much of a wait as they bought a struggling Korean BBQ restaurant a few doors down and put their brand on it and installed a sushi counter at that location. They also expanded with 3 or 4 other locations within a 30 minute drive of the main restaurant.

+ is the underdog - the number is what you’d win if you bet $100 A $10 bet on +240 underdog would pay $24 + your original $10 bet - is the favorite - the number you’d have to bet to win $100 a $10 bet on a -240 favorite would pay $4.17 + your original $10 bet.

I guess maybe it can be. I didn’t realize the league minimum has skyrocketed to $830k and set to go over $900k by 2027. It was $650k in 2020

That can not be correct.

Brunson and Hart both got banged up at the end. Hopefully, they’ll still be feeling the effects on Thursday. Hindsight, I’m not sure what Thibs could do there. He only had 1 timeout. That itself came back to bite them on the last play. Don’t think anyone would imagine that a game with that many fouls called would go 2 and a half minutes without a whistle.

It was Halliburton’s dad.

Pacers do it again. This comeback was crazy even for them.

This is such an overstep of the Federal government on individual state & local rights. It’s an even bigger overstep of the Executive branch of government over the Legislative.

Here’s a link to their early 2025 draft for comparison. They had some massive misses but it looks like they correctly picked 11 players that ended in the first round. Not great but not horrible either. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-way-too-early-2025-nfl-mock-draft-james-pearce-jr-panthers

Trump doesn’t concede elections. He either wins or says it was fixed. Sure it seems ridiculous, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him start the rhetoric of an unjust liberal fixed election to begin a hostile military takeover of Canada.

Pat Riley is rolling over in his grave.

Deplore both teams but this collaboration is my favorite City Connects.

These kids should be sent to CECOT

Mike Morse’s mom and The Bernsteins may have something to say about that.

The difficulty is the rule is below normal shoulder height. If a player is bent over it could be above their shoulders and still be ok. The Fiala goal is an example as he was crouched down and it was played above the shoulder but wouldn’t have been had he been at normal height. Perry isn’t crouching and is at normal shoulder height. The puck is clearly hit above his shoulder and should’ve been called.
