The league has to get rid of this Dundon guy. He bought the Blazers to hold the city of Portland hostage for arena money and now he's telling all of his underlings to shittalk the city so he can move to Kansas City or something. Cut this shit out or the league will be held hostage by similar ghouls.

I’m fully soccer-pilled now. Who should I follow?

For those of us who are sad the World Cup has ended but happy college football is about to begin.

Move Summer League to Portland and use the Moda Center and Memorial Coliseum IMHO

Good on @iankarmel.bsky.social for leaning in to talking about what it means to have the USMNT full of kids of immigrants on the after hours programming on FOX

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

Oui.

Did they just say that Kylian Mbappé is going to be on the @iankarmel.bsky.social and Bruvs show????

Sonny Rollins makes me so unbelievably happy. 95 years of a beautiful, unflinchingly creative life. Sad to see him leave this form of existence but so grateful that I get to live the rest of my life with what he left us.

If you’re wanting to hear Sonny Rollins tonight but don’t know where to start, a quick Top 10: Saxophone Colossus - Often cited as his best, has "St. Thomas," as well as "Mack the Knife," the SOUND is just so good, his solos are super imaginative, excellently recorded

No other player had a bigger impact on me, as a musician and as an artist. I am so grateful to him. RIP Sonny Rollins, the colossus.

I’m back on television! This time with James Corden and Rio Ferdinand getting really dumb about the World Cup. Time to learn what soccer is - I believe it’s a trendy Swedish gummy?

don’t make me feel hope godammit

I LOVE YOU PORTLAND

I genuinely think the score is the same if Wemby is still in the game. We can’t shoot with or without him.

deni contesting that last spurs transition possession

If I’m the coach I’m telling the Blazers they should try to score more baskets.

Scoot playing well makes me feel like I’m on cocaine.

SCOOT

UCLA, Indiana, and Michigan. Now take a big sip of your drink and I will tell you which team won in which sport.

The Big Ten has the reigning national champion in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

Godawful fucking refereeing in this Blazers-Nuggets game. Full garbaggio.

This is what it looked like before the redesign. Nothing but bangers.

Flying out of New Orleans and Houston this week I will be spending more time in TSA than in an airplane.

In honor of Michael B. Jordan’s Oscar win, here’s a meme that has been stuck in my head since like 2020.

Damn, the Ayatollah and Lou Holtz in the same week. Pick up the phone. Make that phone call you’ve been putting off.
