As the number of significant camp/practice injuries continue to rise, I think of Al [Davis] taking players out of practice and saying to him "we can't put them in bubble wrap," then we had a significant injury in a camp practice and I said to him "about that bubble wrap idea."

A playoff spot on the line - BIG3 on @cbssports.bsky.social at 10AM (yup, that’s California time) - gonna be good.

I posted this before - and then it disappeared - I dunno why, so here it is again: In today's @katiecouric.bsky.social Wake-Up Call there's a link to an article in which it is explained why saying "hello" or "hi" is a good thing. I think you know why I'm sharing this - and hi.

I listen to @knxnews.bsky.social every day - I've listened to KNX ever since I was a kid - so, I get all excited when I'm invited to join KNX for a conversation, which I'm gonna do at 6:45 AM (that's California time) - we're gonna talk about the upcoming @nflbluesky.bsky.social season.

He was banned from the building, we were fined - I signed the check when we paid the fine - I couldn't be happier that we are now now we are friends - thank you @mikesilver.bsky.social for doing what the best people do, working through and setting aside differences.

If you’re watching the BIG3 on @cbssports.bsky.social (and really, you should be), you might wanna know that Snickers is one of our sponsors so you can eat Snickers bars nonstop through the games, like I am. Hey, does this constitute a public service announcement? Also, I’m on my 3rd bar.

The oceans connect us all, so from the Pacific Ocean to wherever in the world you are, hi.

Gonna do it - so if you don't see or hear from me for a while, this may be why - and thank you to the really nice teenage boy who offered to hold my hand. #VeniceBeachSkateFest

When I read this @kuehnobservations.bsky.social post and saw the underlying @minakimes.bsky.social post, I laughed - well done, very well done - and Mina, your toddler has very good taste, makes good choices and is clearly gong places.

Or it was @amytrask.bsky.social

On @cbssports.bsky.social In just over an hour, Miami 305 vs. Dallas Power; All four games will be super hot, We even have a 4 point shot; Jeff Kwatinetz and Cube had a vision; And the BIG3 is on a mission.

You beat me to it, @dougfarrar.bsky.social (as you most often do), I was just about to thank @aaronschatz.com for the 2026 Almanac when I saw your post, can't wait to dive in.

As I like to say every year around this time (Navin Johnson voice)… “The new phone books are here!!!” @aaronschatz.com @miketanier.bsky.social

Gonna chat about the BIG3 - and anything else Evan, Chris and Michelle wanna talk about - when I hop (or is it pop) onto @unsportsmanlike.bsky.social at 6AM (that's what we call it, in California).

Look forward to popping (or hopping) on 104.3 in Chicago at 10:25 (only that's not Chicago time, that's California time) - gonna be fun.

Not sure which I'd find more stressful: (a) being a goalie in a win or go home World Cup game; or (b) being a field goal kicker lined up to kick what would be the game winning field goal (if I missed, we'd lose) with time running out in a win or go home NFL playoff game.

Spotted pregame, if we were having a jersey contest, she wins.

Yup - that’s my foot, in my LooneyTunes sneaks (thank you, Looney Tunes) - getting ready for our BIG3 games at the Galen Center - you can join us here or watch us on @cbssports.bsky.social at 1:00 (that’s California time) - also, if we have another best sneaks contest, I’m gonna win again.

I'm not a "hot take" person, but here's "a take" that's pretty hot (for me): paper tickets, I want a little paper ticket in my hand when I need to access a building, happy to scan that little paper ticket, but I want a paper ticket. That's all, that's my "as hot as it gets for me" take.

Game day - the BIG3 on @cbssports.bsky.social in just under an hour - I’m ready.

Al Davis told me "kid, never leave a team without corners" and as Charles Woodson was a tremendous corner, I think serving his wonderful Intercept Wines at our 4th of July gathering counts as following that advice, and we shall raise a birthday glass to Al.

5 minutes until tipoff - week 2 of the BIG3 on @cbssports.bsky.social.

The Drummers of Compton are so so so good and I want to drum with them so so so much - and I am having so so so much fun at PLAY DAY 2026.

I'm on my way - and I'm gonna play. PLAY DAY 2026 - PLAY EQUITY

I've been a Cube fan for decades and am honored to work with him and Jeff Kwatinetz and be part of the BIG3 - I'm also a Scott Wapner fan - so as I watched Cube (in a @monsterenergy.bsky.social hat) and Scott discuss the BIG3 on @cnbc.com, I smiled. www.cnbc.com/video/2026/0...

Ice Cube on Big3 going public: Want to grow the right way along with a global vision for the league

Ice Cube, Big3 co-founder and CEO, joins 'Closing Bell' to discuss the Big3 brand going public, the structure of the company and much more.

One of many things I love about working with Jeff Kwatinetz and Cube and Clyde Drexler in the BIG3 is that when issue arise, they are discussed and addressed in a clear, straightforward manner.

BIG3, big fun - and I did my job.

Remember when people said it wouldn't last more than a season? I do. BIG3 season 9 begins tomorrow. You can join us at the @intuitdome.bsky.social or you can watch on @cbssports.bsky.social. I'm gonna bring my "Inaugural Season" bag.

Thank you @ny-knicks.bsky.social OG Anunoby for your tremendous rescue work (details @MeowCoveOfficial on Instagram) - you have a new friend, me.

I’ll mop (I’m good at it, by the way, it’s a skill), you can just enjoy the games - BIG3 season 9 starts next week, come join us.

Thank you @bloomberg.com for this piece on the BIG3's big news. Thank you Jeff Kwatinetz and Cube for your leadership. t.co/VE0BMGSN75

As relates to the Brendan Sorsby matter, bear in mind that courts can and do deny requests for permanent injunctions, even if a temporary injunction has been granted - in other words, it ain't over and we don't know how it will end.
