Cape Codder

Absolutely phenomenal set by @MiddleKidsMusic at @saltshedchicago. If you haven't heard of Middle Kids, check 'em out. Like, right now. You won't regret it - they have a sound all their own. Keep on killin' it, guys. Looking forward to your next Chicago show!

@Cwebb3455 @LukeT39 And people can think a person is a dick for the opinions that they share. It doesn't mean they're sensitive. If I came to your workplace to give you a performance review and called you Chuck the Schmuck because you were bad at your job it wouldn't make me less of a dick.

@CapedCodder @LukeT39 He was a columnist at that point he was there to put out his opinions. He hadn't covered the team as a beat guy since the late 80s. He was in the locker room alot because he was willing to take the heat for his opinions but writing his opinion is the job of a columnist

People have a version of Dan Shaughnessy in their head. Mine is the guy who was incredibly kind to an 18 year old who had no business being taken seriously. He's been one of the genuinely kindest people in Boston media for years. Well deserved.

@pacersfeverfan @stealer1 @tallawah12 In the full video Whittaker had her arm wrapped around AR's back while they were battling for position. Then AR with the jersey tug, an elbow from #45 and both of them seek out contact down the floor. This was a nothing sequence that people are desperate to make a big deal.

@stealer1 @tallawah12 Doesn’t justify it

Next topic: Unsportsmanlike conduct, interesting to hear these ladies thought on this topic.

@Cwebb3455 @LukeT39 Boston media has always been toxic. It will always be toxic. If the guy with the mic enters media scrums to rile up players to get a soundbite, don't be surprised when people think he's a twat.

@Cwebb3455 @LukeT39 Dan was there to cover the team, not make himself part of the story. It's not sensitivity. I don't care if he coined those nicknames. You're acting like people's distaste for him wasn't without reason. He comported himself like a dick so people thought he was a dick.

@Cwebb3455 @LukeT39 Is your question, was giving players derogatory nicknames "negativity or reality?" I have no issue with being critical. But Dan routinely toed the line between personal attacks and critique of on-field play. Those are monikers of a shock jock, not a professional journalist.

@CapedCodder @LukeT39 Pedro is probably my favorite baseball player but he could be a diva. Carl Everett was fun to watch and had a great half year here and was good overall but he was known for not believing in dinosaurs and beating his kids. Is it negativity or reality?

@mercurialblonde @DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ Draft picks that don't hit are different than "a player who isn't ready." You can't argue a point with the benefit of hindsight. Charli Collier averaged 19 and 11.3 before her draft. She wasn't a prototypical 1.1 but teams would absolutely draft that player.

@CapedCodder @DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ Look up the 2021 draft

So the #1 pick in the WNBA draft makes close to 700k in the new CBA... So you NEED to hit on top picks otherwise it could be a disaster... But they also can't be too good as to not make an All-WNBA team to trigger the early supermax and ruin flexibility???

@mercurialblonde @DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ What draft would feature a player who wasn't ready for the W after four years in college or international team play? No team is going to forfeit their draft rights without some form of compensation. They would at minimum trade down or out and teams with cap space would bite.

@CapedCodder @DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ It came from my comment which you responded to

@mercurialblonde @DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ Where did the "player who isn't ready" and "bad draft" qualifiers come from? The conversation was about a cap-strapped team with the top pick not wanting to pay that player. A team would trade that asset for a vet min to a team that can afford to take a flyer on a project.

@CapedCodder @DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ Why would a team give up anything for the privilege of drafting a player who isn't ready in a bad draft?

@Cwebb3455 @LukeT39 If your introduction to Dan Shaughnessy the media member was in the late 90s, he was needlessly negative. From "the Dominican Diva" to "Jurassic Carl," he was rage bait before social media. The CHB nickname stuck for a reason. I'm not speaking to the man as a person, though.

@LukeT39 @joonlee Shaugnessy as negative as he can be almost never does that. He wrote a book about how amazing the 80s Celtics are like 3 years ago and picked the Sox to win the division last year. He is definitely a contrarian but doesn't fall into the sports radio mode of negativity.

@DayDreamThis @DBGyt_ @mercurialblonde Yeah, no front office is forfeiting draft capital like that for nothing. They'd quicker flip the pick for future assets/a player on an attractive contract or package it to offload a bad contract to gain cap flexibility.

@DBGyt_ @mercurialblonde I think they'd trade. Why not get a guaranteed WNBA player over paying the cap?

@valkyriesreport @mercurialblonde @DBGyt_ @DayDreamThis It's not a great comp because MLB is a different animal, but Brady Aiken was drafted #1 overall by the Astros in 2014 and refused a reduced contract offer after his physical. Bo Jackson also refused to sign after being drafted #1 in 1986. Those are players, not teams, though.

@mercurialblonde @DBGyt_ @DayDreamThis Has a number one pick ever went unsigned in any sport?

@itsbushwacker @_6signxxx It's not the case for most shootings? I'd love to see your evidence. How are minors obtaining the guns used in school shootings? The first parents charged in a school shooting case didn't occur until 2024, hundreds and hundreds of shootings and 25 years after Columbine.

@CapedCodder @_6signxxx Yea and those parents ignored obvious signs. Their actions did help facilitate those shootings and they should be charged. That’s not the case for most shooting though

So when are white parents going to be charged, convicted, and sentenced for the acts of their children for school shootings?

@MF_Techs @sammyjoluxton1 What? Women aren't a monolith. There is no totally normal weight without knowing body composition, height, etc. What's a totally normal weight for "a man?"

@sammyjoluxton1 "Camp, dieting, sacrificing everything" and it's just like, a totally normal weight for a woman to be lmao

10-12 weeks in camp, dieting, sacrificing everything to get a W in front of her home crowd for some absolute helmet to not even attempt to make weight She obviously knew the pre check weight and got upset at the potential outcome💔 gutted for Melissa

@VKlumpii @niggacuntfuck @itsbushwacker @_6signxxx @_sorrengailll Colin Gray bought his son Colt a rifle for Christmas even though his son had been questioned by the police over school shooting threats. Colt used that rifle to kill two students and two teachers. Kids are often given (access to) guns by their parents. They should be liable.

@niggacuntfuck @itsbushwacker @_6signxxx @_sorrengailll They weren't given the gun by the parents. Thus guy gave his son the keys. Thats really the only difference that matters

@itsbushwacker @_6signxxx @_sorrengailll So, just like the Crumbleys or Colin Gray? Good to know.

@_6signxxx @_sorrengailll Really not the comparison you think it is. You’d have to prove those parents helped facilitate the kids actions or knew of the threat and willfully did nothing. In this man’s case, he allowed his son to drive underage without a license or supervision

@WesInman1 @PureBBHoney This entire chain screams divorcee whose kids no longer talk to him. Or 22yo cosplaying as an old man because he is soul-crushingly lonely and has no social skills. You need to find a passion to pursue. This is unhealthy.

This has nothing to do with religion. My father was a successful baseball coach for decades, many championship teams. I also coached baseball for a few years. I know sports. My son played basketball and was a good player. I don't hate the girl, she is attractive, she would make a great model. She is outspoken, she would be good on TV. But there are probably HUNDREDS of women basketball players that have FAR superior skills than here. It is what it is. This is what I do not like. I think it unfair that she is on a pro team when far better players aren't. She draws fans, that is the main reason they keep her. She gets rebounds because she is a big girl who knocks others out of the way. She is a rough player, many do not contest her "me" bounds. If they fought for rebounds, her statistics would go WAY down. In my opinion, "me-bounds" should not count.

ON THIS DAY three years ago, LSU’s Angel Reese recorded 25 points, 24 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 6 blocks in a 66-42 second-round victory over No. 18 Michigan. She became the only second player in women’s college basketball history to post a 25-20-5 stat line in the NCAA tournament, joining Tennessee’s Daedra Charles (1991). 🪄

@gfstarr1 @defender_tay I mean, Joe 𝘸𝘢𝘴 a Yankee. I'll allow the unintended slight.

we are losing ancient texts.

@TLaww22 @jrsupremacy @lunasf4vs Way to commit to the bit, little dude. I knew you could do it. Soon enough you'll graduate to multisyllabic swear words without censoring yourself like a bitch.

@CapedCodder @jrsupremacy @lunasf4vs Amazing comeback old fuck

klan crying over the other usa players not interacting with her on socials only for her to include a total of zero pictures with them in her dump while they all included the entire team somehow is just..😭😭😭

@TLaww22 @jrsupremacy @lunasf4vs And you must be 12.

@CapedCodder @jrsupremacy @lunasf4vs You have to be old af replying like this lol

@TLaww22 @jrsupremacy @lunasf4vs The self-censorship is cute. Are you worried your mom is going to see your tweet history and take pizza rolls off the grocery list?

@jrsupremacy @lunasf4vs Cry pussc
