This "anti-American" halftime show has featured performers from two American cities: Bayamón, Puerto Rico and New York, New York.
Isn't one of those the president's hometown?

Jalen Brunson is getting booed at a level that Pistons fans usually save for guys who played here.

I'm trying to figure out if I have covered more games at the Pizzarena than anyone else. I'm the only print reporter who covers the Pistons and Red Wings on regular basis, and I can't think of anyone on the broadcast side.

Michigan has the best Secretary of State in the country in @jocelynbenson.bsky.social. She's the reason there was no voter fraud in 2020 - a year where she had to reinvent voting infrastructure because of COVID.

The Red Wings have been outscored 11-2 at 5v5 in the last five games. Somehow, they have gotten three points out of it.

Doing one (1) episode of The Muppet Show with Sabrina Carpenter as the guest *should* be the easiest assignment in television history. Just steal four skits from 1978 and everyone in GenX will love you.
That said, people have failed to do it for decades. So well done, Seth Rogan.

I thought Jonas Valančiūnas was going to get ejected for his WWE-style headlock takeover on Isaiah Stewart, but he only got a flagrant-1 and a technical. Jalen Duren also got a technical for shoving Valančiūnas after the play.
Stewart calmly walked away. That's a good sign for the Pistons.

Thank goodness @theathletic.com has a policy of giving everyone anonymity so this dope can insult Puerto Ricans.
There are times giving a source anonymity is good journalism.
More often, though, it is helping someone engage in character assassination.

Angie and I just spent a very cold hour helping search the woods for this young boy. He lives across the street from one of the parks where I play disc golf, so we went to the nature area and looked everywhere.

If a post starts with "First, let me state", your first instinct should be to be skeptical of that claim.
Second, watch for either/or questions that ignore significant possible answers. An allegation not having been "investigated and confirmed to be true" doesn't mean it was fabricated.

Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat are having very good seasons. They have 58 and 57 points, respectively.
Nathan MacKinnon's goal gave him 90 points for the season. He and Connor McDavid* are going to be very tough to beat in Milan.
(*And Cale Makar and Sidney Crosby...)
