Ian Eagle just used the phrase "it's giving" for an ad. So, in a sense, he was, generationally at least, Noah Eagle for split second.

It was more enjoyable to take a bus 25 minutes outside of Madrid to do study abroad in Getafe than it is to watch Getafe FC play. And I mean that as a backhanded compliment to Getafe FC. #GetafeAtleti

I'm not going to read the NYT story but I do want to hear what other people would put in their "Lost New York" takes, mine would include Dr Zizmor ads and the free transfer between the Broadway G/Lorimer JMZ stops

I am "shooting around across the court from a 12-year-old kid rocking a 20-year-old Carmelo SLAM cover tee and not telling him that I'm profiled in that issue" years old.

A thing I think about sometimes is how P.J. Carlesimo would refer to the Sacramento Kings as "Sac" during pregame scrum interviews. He was so casual about it. Such a nonchalant and blasé use of "Sac". We need more of that in today's world.

Just patiently waiting for a club like Barca or PSG to break the possession barrier and end up with 101% possession one of these days. It's gotta happen sooner or later.

There's a pretty good chance that you will be drafted by the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Make sure you have a bag packed.
