I guess still no word on whether Silver will accede to the media's demands that his number be retired league-wide and every game start with a moment of silence? Or since he's only out like a month, would everyone chill out if they just rename every award after him?
Just in: Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic has been diagnosed with a hyperextension in his left knee and will miss at least four weeks. An immense sigh of relief as tests show the three-time NBA MVP's knee ligaments are intact.

Congrats to the PR person at Red Bull who is now freed from the burden of doing damage control every time someone puts a mic in front of their oldest and most racist employee.
Now confirmed by Red Bull, with Marko saying:

"Narrowly missing out on the world championship this season has moved me deeply and made it clear to me that now is the right moment for me personally to end this very long, intense, and successful chapter." #F1
Understand reports that Helmut Marko will be leaving Red Bull at the end of this year are accurate, with official confirmation expected perhaps as early as today #F1

Congrats to everyone on setting a new record for violating the Playoff Atmosphere rule.

Night 1 (or any night) of the regular season simply cannot "feel like the playoffs", regardless of how poorly the Thunder shoot from 3.

Would love to know if the #1 pick in the draft could hear his home broadcast team having a lengthy, animated discussion about college football 7 minutes into his first game.

Welcome to Dallas, kid.

Imagine A-Rod coming off the baseline to clothesline Ant Edwards as he's about throw down a series-winning dunk with :02 left in a Game 6.

That's literally almost exactly what happened here. Just the absolute dumbest move at the worst possible moment.
"Two years ago I'd probably say something dumb. I mean, he's a dumbass for that move for sure, I don't care he's my boss or not. But we're going for the win, I hate that we gave it to Chevrolet, there."

Kudos to the camera guy who went out to the mound and landed a 31-second tracking shot

I can't believe a reputable publication like The Onion would even insinuate that anyone in Oklahoma would risk the near-certainty of starting a wildfire just to burn 1 witch.

Middle-aged man with beard started screaming his (remarkably vulgar) Yankees opinions in my face outside Daikin Park tonight. I responded with a "Ma'am, please control your child" to his partner. Got a big laugh from everyone in the vicinity (man-baby excepted); diffused the situation quite well.

The fact that Dillon Jones consumed 5% of the Thunder's regular season mins means that OKC played even more garbage time than I remember, or this chart includes all of his minutes standing at the scoring table as Permanent Sub.
Not much action in the last few weeks, but here's where teams stand in regard to continuity from last season...

The gerontocracy must be stopped. These dudes, while extremely likeable, are like, my age.

Difficult to overstate the degree of difficulty of winning from 4 rows back like this. It's like, 50 consecutive correct driver/spotter decisions in about 100 seconds, all executed perfectly, in aggressively treacherous conditions. Like playing a sax while walking across hot coals or something.
For those who don't wanna go over there

A fun exercise would be getting a panel of the smartest baseball people to guess the sequence of events that led to Stanton staying in at RF after this pinch-hit AB.

0% chance they ever arrive at "it all started when Bill Miller sorta made up his own version of the 3-pickoff-attempts rule..."
Stanton 2 run shot in the 10th

Seriously rad that despite owing us nothing, Bubba's still willing to be to be as emotionally available as any athlete in any sport. Like, the prompt is "pretty humid today, huh?" and 2 minutes later he's disclosing intimate details about his battles with negative self-talk. What a guy.

The NBA giving him their version of the Best New Artist Grammy is going to do wonders for my 1-man crusade to make "Fili Vanilli" stick as a nickname.

The #NBA2KSummerLeague MVP is... Kyle Filipowski of the Utah Jazz!
July 23, 2025 at 3:28 AM
The only substantive takeaway from this summer league is that (and I believe official arbitor @yourmandevine.bsky.social would verify) Johnny [the Baptist?] Furphy Lives Mas.

The simplest explanation here is that there's like a CONCACAF+ tier that comes with VAR, but Berhalter had the password and now they can't in to the account and the subscription is expired, and it's just been like, a whole thing with customer support for months now.

The Bucks stretched and waived 22.5 Kyle Singlers.
The Milwaukee Bucks decided to waive-and-stretch the $112.6 million owed to Damian Lillard. That is not only the largest stretch-waive ever in NBA history, it's more than the combined sum of the previous three largest stretch-waive contracts I could find (Joakim Noah, Deron Williams, Nic Batum).
July 2, 2025 at 1:06 AM
It was makes total sense if they (along with everyone else buying out/waiving capable players) are creating a paper trail of upsetting basketball decisions to brandish about wildly during the next round of CBA negotiations.
wtf are the bucks doing?

Straight up mean of the Knicks to bring in the most Thibs player ever immediately after firing Thibs.
FROM SHAMS:

Free agent center Guerschon Yabusele has agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with the New York Knicks, plus a player option, sources tell ESPN. The Knicks negotiated the new deal with agents Olivier Mazet and Richie Felder for the big man on Tuesday.
July 1, 2025 at 3:18 PM
Of course he's going to be on the front row. How else would he see the game? 2nd row with a booster seat?
FROM SHAMS:

JJ Barea, a 2011 NBA champion with the Dallas Mavericks, has agreed to join the Denver Nuggets as an assistant coach under David Adelman, sources tell ESPN. Barea will be on the front of the Nuggets coaching bench.

Srsly s/o to whomever at NASCAR said, "we should make a 1:2 scale model of Talladega and just like, see what happens". Turns out, you're basically guaranteed 1 hilarious culling (below) followed by the most spectacular racing you'll ever see at any level.
