ESPN's Michael Wilbon appears quite glad to see retiring Auburn coach Bruce Pearl go:
"He had become a divisive person, it seems to me, intentionally. And I hope there was pressure to just get him out."

Pressure to do what exactly?
I still haven’t heard from the Unrivaled camp or WBB media what the end game would actually be here

Can confirm ESPNs report that Paige Bueckers has signed a three-year deal with Unrivaled which includes a first-year salary that will exceed her entire 4-year rookie scale contract in the WNBA.
Unrivaled continues to put pressure on the WNBA.

Being Democrats
I don’t really like to comment on political strategy but WTF are Schumer and Newsom, two of the most powerful leaders in the Democratic Party, doing right now?

Being Democrats
Somehow this is exactly what hurt Kamala and Newsom learned zero lessons from it
the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.
Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports

Counterpoint: they did televised hearings for weeks about Jan 6 and the right turned it into a cause while the average American memory holed it
the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

The thing about Devin Booker’s “slow start” wasn’t just the cold streak
When he plays *like this* he doesn’t have cold streaks
When he passes up 3s and doesn’t get to the line, he’s prone to cold streaks
If he keeps playing like this, his floor is so high
