One fun thing about not covering sports for a living anymore is that I will be spending the day floating down a river and will check in on the trade deadline at some point this evening.
“there’s so much more to the wnba than caitlin clark, we could be talking about literally anyone else in the league”
Gonna keep saying it, if we want to have an actual society, abuse of power like this has to ruin your fucking life
Drew Harwell@drewharwell.com · 4d agoNew: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo
I’m so naïve I really didn’t think they would let the president sell high-level oval office information to traders for his own enrichment.

Padres added a second definition for the term “pitching backwards” last night.
It’s pretty jarring we’ve just come to expect that the feds will lie to us and publicize false information and that there is virtually no consequence for it.

I have been waiting all summer for Erik to bring us his annual TOMATO SANDWICHES thread. This is nothing short of pure joy. Read and delight in it.
Erik Inglis@allthebeset.bsky.social · 2y ago(In honor of August, bringing this 🧵 over from twitter) August makes me think of the best summer restaurant I ever ate at. It didn’t have a name, just a tidy hand-painted sign: “Tomato Sandwiches—all you can eat.” #tomatosandwiches

This piece of dogshit doesn't understand how food pricing works I guess. "Cheap cuts of meat" isn't a thing. Ask anyone who used to buy oxtail or goat or marrow on the cheap how much it costs now. If you start speaking out pro liver and then the Goop lady agrees it'll be up 300% in a week
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 7d agoRFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"
Stewie and Phee built Unrivaled for moments like this (and the CBA negotiations). They are completely unafraid to take on the league itself and that is beautiful.
Alex Kirshner@alexkirshner.com · 6d agoThe Sophie Cunningham thing seems like a massive problem for the WNBA and while there are probably leaders who could figure it out, my sense is that Cathy Engelbert ain't one of them. Also god what a tough one this could be for the union if it goes a certain way
It would be pretty wild if the guy who bought the Clippers after the NBA forced Donald Sterling to sell was also forced to sell the Clippers. Also not going to be surprised if Kawhi gets a lifetime ban and that becomes his legacy.
David Samson basically gives up the game on getting public financing for sports stadiums and it's maybe the C plot in this episode?

LeBron is apparently going to live in NYC, at least much of the time, and commute to Philly. Wilt Chamberlain did the same thing while running a Gotham blues club, Big Wilt's Smalls Paradise, in the early-60s. Now, if LBJ helos to Philly ... that would be new. Wilt drove. Usually at 100 mph.
