Hey @btrowland.bsky.social @jonesy2x4.bsky.social I figured out why hawks fans are obsessed with 7 foot centers. It’s cuz Trae is small. That’s it. If we had Cade, no one would care.

Braves 11-7 after the 0-7 start, just 3 games under .500 overall, and just 1.5 games out of second place in the division.

Trae Young is the recipient of the 2024-25 Sekou Smith Award, which annually honors the player on the Hawks roster who best represents themselves and the franchise with professionalism and integrity in their interactions with the media.

Fun thought. This assumes Trae stays and the Hawks don’t go big fish hunting.

I think next year and the overall Landry-Quinn model looks like:

Trae-?: Creation
Daniels-Mann: lockdowns
ZR-Niang: shooters
JJ-Gueye: versatility
OO-Nance: passing centers

Caris could be a part of this. Kobe too.

It’s like Dallas traded Steve Nash again except this time they knew he was Steve Nash.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Democrats lose the PR war because Trump says crazy shit and they say nothing, hoping cooler heads will prevail. That ship sailed.

The only one who gets it is @aoc.bsky.social and as far as I’m concerned she’s now the leader of the party and should do press conferences every day
more like: his remarks followed his reflex to seize on occasions of public distress and fear as opportunities to deny accountability through escalating racist and partisan demagoguery

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People in NYC.

Tracie Ullman and Meryl Streep sang the encore.

I don’t know why.
OK, the vibes need a serious refresh around here

ESPN’s tennis coverage is so good — and you can tell that tennis obviously isn’t as popular a draw as NFL/NBA/CFB, because they’ve resisted the urge to turn it into a clown car full of goofballs and hot takes. it’s just good, smart, adult analysis for old people like yours truly

Psst...Jalen Johnson was the headliner of my (filed/written, but never published) Six Most Intriguing Players column. Dude is going to be an All-Star, maybe not this year but soon. Risacher will be good -- knows how to play. Hawks are fun. I was a year early in my steak bet w/ Bontemps!

genuinely hilarious discourse about alex anthopoulos online today

remember when he traded for the NL Cy Young winner less than 12 months ago for the price of an expendable infielder and got boston to send money?

apparently much of the fan base does not recall this

The 2-9 Giants vs the 4-7 Cowboys isn't the football game that America wants today but it is certainly the game that America deserves today.
