"Why is Babylon 5 filled with 'Newsies'?" asked any overly analytical nerd after watching the show a lot of times. And luckily, @slatron's friend Evynne had an immediate fix that is pretty ... Strange ... Dr. Strange ... it makes sense if you read the article!

Real "trivia question" time, as in, I don't know the answer.
When is the last time an NBA team traded a known MVP caliber player in their prime when the player wasn't demanding a trade (or wanted out, i.e. Shaq in Orlando)
I legit can't think of one.

"Fans of multiple teams have wanted their GM fired in the past, but it never spread like the calls for Harrison’s job did. Chants erupted at SMU basketball games, Texas Rangers baseball games, Dallas Cowboys football games, and Dallas Stars hockey games..."

The Dallas Mavericks are firing Nico Harrison
Owner Patrick Dumont is expected to fire the GM at a 10 am meeting, per ESPN’s Shams Charania

My son has recently gotten into birds and has said a Blue Jay is his favorite. FWIW, he's been very nonplused when I've attempted to show him baseball, explaining that one team is called the Blue Jays.

Look, Babylon 5 turned out amazingly and Richard Moll had a stellar career (RIP, you awesome awesome human), but a part of me is always going to feel sad we never saw a @straczynski.bsky.social B5 spinoff about Richard Moll as Blade/Matrix style space criminal.

Michael Jordan is clearly an all-time great basketball player. There's no debating that.
However, why do people who idolize Jordan act like he didn't retire in his PRIME to go play minor league baseball that he was terrible at?

Victor Wembanyama is in a similar category to Nikola Jokic where it's hard to realize how amazing they are because of how used to absurd games you get.
Jokic outinely put ups "career night" numbers for most players, even All-Stars, that don't phase me. "Oh a 30-point triple double? Seen it!"

Also, the Hornets changing their name in the NBA to the Pelicans was wild for a variety of reasons, but the silliest and saddest was losing the "PORNOH" abbreviation when they played the Blazers.
Look, there are lots of obvious reasons to root for the Mariners, but "Sea Lad" as the best team name abbreviation across a few weeks of sports? Come on!

So psyched for Cody Rhodes to play Guile in the new Street Fighter movie. A silly joke conspiracy theory I've had is in the original Street Fighter, someone suggested Rob Van Dam and someone misunderstood and that's why we got Jean-Claude Van Damme.
