Rowling aside, it is really depressing how we are *still* doing Harry Potter in 2026. Nostalgia is the most boring drug.
MSG Sports revenue in the quarter ending June 30 was up $75 million in 2026 thanks to the New York Knicks' NBA title run and surging MSG ticket prices
The difference a NBA finals run makes? $66.7 million. Knicks played 9 playoff games in 2025 and 9 in 2026, but made $66.7 million more this year in playoff-related revenue than 2025's ECF run because of higher ticket prices + merch revenue, according to a MSG Sports SEC filing.
I'm reading The Path of Knowledge and it's making me feel so whiggish (i.e. like a bad history buff). All this talk about brilliant commentators and translators of Galen but Galenic medicine was garbage!
Ryan Ruocco is the greatest commentator alive, and Rebecca Lobo is also elite.
Wnba sold off the sun to Houston, they are terrible, and the arena is still full. What a sin they didn't go to Hartford.
Why does anybody think LeBron should have or would have joined the Warriors?
The WH correspondents dinner is a hilariously bad idea, like imagine a 1999 War Correspondents Dinner where the guest speaker was Milošević
For people wondering "why not the Nuggets?" it's because Bron is ancient and doesn't want to play at altitude.
Argentina gets away with murder for so long, finally undone by the most questionable red card imaginable.
It's totally normal to rage at this rage-bait but it's also why the fertility curve turns back upward for the ultra-wealthy.

The funny thing about this list is that Mirotic is the only mildly "shocking" case. JV would have been had he managed to leave the NBA last summer like he wanted, but not at this point. basketnews.com/news-252154-...

Between Ryan Grim suggesting a woman telling a casual boyfriend she wants a glute massage implies she must be a slut and Michael Tracy suggesting that any non-consensual sex has to be traumatizing or it's not actually non-consensual: who is showing the most ass?

Unless Ingram is cooked health-wise, this is an awful trade for the Raptors.

A return to Canada for the Raptors champion and two-time Finals MVP.
Duren trying to get traded to the Kings because he knows they will pay him is extremely funny and I kind of like the idea of Detroit flipping him for Sabonis (if the latter is healthy).
Am I the only person who thinks a Raptors-Kawhi reunion is just sad for everybody involved?
