I'm too lazy to make a new profile so here's my old one: Hot cocoa zealot. Occasional funny man. I've been told I make a mean calzone. Might be a sports fan, but the jury is still out.

What he's describing is a violation of several Minnesota state laws! He should go out and do law enforcement!
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Jesus famously did not disrupt proceedings at a place of worship and call out religious hypocrisy
Rep. Keith Self on anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service in the Twin Cities: "I compare them to Hamas who live-streamed the attack in Israel that killed hundreds of people. They want to instill terror."

Proper use of "paradigm shift" unlike a certain professional wrestler.
Curt Cignetti: "I think that's called a paradigm shift. People can cling to an old way of thinking, categorizing teams as this or that, conference as this or that, or they can adjust to the new world." #iufb

A reminder that Michigan remembers EVERYTHING and is one of the primary reasons why Tony Petitti's magnum opus of a Big Ten private capital plan has been shelved.

six is a woke queer musical that’s basically about women’s liberation. none of those chodes would ever even notice it, which they didn’t for nine years until dylan mulvaney joined the cast. they just don’t want queer, especially trans, people to exist in public.
So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

I saw the Fanta post earlier with his recorded open for the game today on NBC using the old 80's CBB theme and they actually used it on the broadcast. Also: NBC doesn't have a clean track of the old theme??

The timing of this coming out probably isn't terribly great for the WNBA's collective bargaining position
The WNBA is exploring buying back the 16% stake sold for $75 mil in 2022, multiple sources told me.
The deal—valuing the league at roughly $1 billion—was celebrated as a transformative measure. The WNBA has roughly quadrupled in value since.

The league sold the stake for $75 million when it badly needed capital.

Returning for a second year is what I coined the "B1G Flex." Three MBB conference games airing on three broadcast networks on the same day, although this time it's a tad more spread out.

Today, the Big Ten is having what I've termed the "B1G Flex." Three men's conference basketball games will be airing in the same window on three different broadcast networks:
- Oregon-Michigan State @ 12pm ET on FOX
