The Raiders are about to hand the keys to a private equity billionaire from Silver Lake while Mark Davis still pretends he’s in charge. Egon Durban gets first dibs on buying the majority stake, meaning the team could soon be owned by a hedge fund guy who treats franchises like stock tickers instead of a fan-owned legacy like the Raiders used to be. This is what the NFL has become: billionaires selling to bigger billionaires while fans get told to shut up and buy merch. Mark Davis spent decades talking about loyalty to Oakland and Vegas, but now he’s cashing out to Wall Street.

NFL owners are scheduled to vote on a Raiders’ succession plan that gives Silver Lake co-chief executive officer Egon Durban the option to purchase a majority stake in the team from longtime owner Mark Davis, via @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Norman Powell was at the All-Star Game dropping buckets like he belonged. Now the Miami Heat have him coming off the bench? That’s straight disrespect. He’s been one of the most reliable scorers in the league, averaging 20+ points on efficient shooting, and they’re treating him like a role player who can’t start. The Heat front office deciding to flex their ego instead of rewarding a guy who’s earned every minute. Powell’s too good for this. Fans see it, and the league should too. What a clown move.

Last month, Norman Powell was playing in the All-Star Game. Now, the Miami Heat have moved him to the bench.

Neymar vs Rooney? Please. Rooney was a bulldog with heart, hustle, and a cannon of a shot but Neymar is a different breed. Dribbling is the least of it. Neymar’s vision, first touch, finishing in tight spaces, and ability to unlock defenses with one pass or flick make him untouchable in open play. Rooney thrived in chaos while Neymar creates beauty out of nothing. Rooney had grit and goals. Neymar had magic and moments that make you rewind the tape ten times. Saying “apart from dribbling” is like saying “apart from painting” when comparing Picasso to a street artist. Respect the Brazilian maestro while he’s still playing, man.

I love Neymar but please end this Neymar VS Rooney debate immediately Apart from Dribbling, Neymar had nothing on Wayne Mark Rooney. Learn respect.

Neymar is simply the most talented footballer in his era bar Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. Rooney was an absolute gem but Neymar is a couple of steps ahead of him. He has a better record in finals, more assists, more career goals, clearly the better dribbler, and playmaker. Don't let nostalgia fool you.

@Hi5FromBriGuy @DiscussingFilm Pennies? You think I'm here for Elon's bucks you swine with an over inflated ego? 😭

@floatinghighway @TheDunkCentral @FastCompany The irony in thinking everything is ChatGPT 😭

@bigchiefsimzy @TheDunkCentral @FastCompany The irony of using ChatGPT to respond to this

Kelsey Plum becomes the first female pro athlete to launch a verified AI “digital twin” that fans can voice call to interact with her, per @FastCompany “It’s where we are in society… I think you’re either gonna get with it or get lost.”

@wanderfrancofan @TheDunkCentral @FastCompany Okay Deranged Fucking Psycho 😂

@bigchiefsimzy @TheDunkCentral @FastCompany if you liked this dogshit ai comment, fuck you.

@AJefferson2782 @DiscussingFilm I'm not hating to be cool just stating the obvious 😉

@bigchiefsimzy @DiscussingFilm Deadpool was a cameo fest, just slapping one of the two most famous marvel characters. They also didn’t proof of quality it was just another case of IP power. It doesn’t make you cool to hate just to be different

@bruno_nwogu @DiscussingFilm Okay Champ 👍🏾

@bigchiefsimzy @DiscussingFilm Ai Slop

@Hi5FromBriGuy @DiscussingFilm Shut up Hunter Douglas.

@bigchiefsimzy @DiscussingFilm Shut up bot.

@sophieraiin Neither you daughters of Jezebel 😭

left or right?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking Madrid fans? 😏

They’re paying a long snapper like he’s the missing piece while their quarterback situation is still a question mark and the defense looks like it’s held together with duct tape. Pepper’s solid, sure, but a long snapper? Really? This is the move they make when the front office has no idea how to fix the real problems. Fans are supposed to get excited about a guy whose job is literally to snap the ball cleanly 10 times a game while the team can’t stop a nosebleed on third down. Priorities are completely backwards.

Dolphins have signed former 49ers long snapper Taybor Pepper.

The All-Star Game has turned into a half-hearted dunk contest with passing lanes wider than highways, zero defense, and zero stakes. A proper 1v1 bracket with the league's best would actually mean something, ego on the line, skills tested head-to-head, no hiding behind teammates or zone schemes. T-Mac's right to push for it because the fans would eat it up, the players would actually care, and we'd finally see who really has the sauce when it's just them and one defender. If the league ignores this, they're admitting they’d rather keep the exhibition soft than risk showing who’s truly elite. Make it happen or stop pretending All-Star Weekend matters.

Tracy McGrady says he’s fighting like hell to get the NBA and NBC to host a 1v1 tournament at All-Star Weekend next year. 👀 (Via @dpshow )

Tracy McGrady saying Bam Adebayo’s 83-point explosion proves the league lacks talent for expansion is one of the most backwards takes I’ve heard in a minute. Bam, a center known for defense and efficiency, goes nuclear for 83 and somehow that means the league is talent-poor? No, it means Bam is in rare air, joining Wilt and Kobe in the 80s club at a position that rarely produces those nights. The NBA is deeper than ever, young stars dropping 50s, role players shooting 40% from three, and international talent flooding in. If anything, 83 from a big man shows how loaded the league is when even non-volume scorers can erupt like that. Saying we can’t add teams because one guy went off is just gatekeeping dressed up as analysis. The talent is there. The league’s ready. Stop acting like we’re still in the 90s.

LeBron James threw down 6 dunks at 41, including 3 alley-oops tying his career high, and people are still acting like this is normal for a guy in his 22nd season. Most players at that age are coaching, in the front office, or retired fishing somewhere. LeBron’s still out here posterizing kids, running the floor like he’s 25, and making the league look silly while everyone else is talking load management. This is a freak of nature refusing to age like the rest of us. The greatest 41-year-old we’ve ever seen? Nah. He’s just the greatest, period. Keep hating if you want, but the numbers don’t lie. 🐐

LeBron James had 6 dunks last night—his most in a game since March 9, 2017, per ESPN He also threw down 3 alley-oop dunks, tying a career high. The greatest 41-year-old we’ve ever seen.🐐

@KR3Wmatic Even the United States hasn't had an openly atheist president, so I highly doubt that it would happen over here. I'll go with us having a female president.

Which is more likely to happen in Nigeria, an 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐋𝐘 atheist president, 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐋𝐘 gay president or a woman president?

This is the same Neymar that was never a 'top player' according to Rooney. Must definitely be the cheap booze.
