@ToysxldieR @PintSizeAnalyze @BWH85 I remember before every major…the talk was always…Tiger or the field. For over a decade. Every…single…major. That will never happen again, not for 10+ yrs straight. Damn that was fun watching him.

@PintSizeAnalyze @BWH85 Bookies offered Tiger Woods vs the field bets, and Tiger woods was sometimes HEAVILY favored.. He could be up by 10 strokes in the U.S. open and it was still must watch TV because he was hitting stingers and shot shaping in a way like it was tied

Kids don't know who Prime Tiger was. He's the only other athlete who deserves a Last Dance-style documentary.

Jesus loves. Christian Nationalism kills. You may pray for my death, Pastor, but I still love you. I love you more than you could ever hate me.

Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller: "Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

Happy to report live from the Frost Center that the “crazy Hispanic fan” shirts are in out in large numbers. Greatest fan base in the NBA.

@PearlJam Hard to describe what is what like to watch this as a 20yr-old. I spent my teen years on 80’s music,then *this* happened. A year plus before the Nirvana show. Changed everything. It was The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. That’s not hyperbole, I was there. It changed everything.

On this day 34 years ago, Pearl Jam stepped onto the stage at Kaufman Astoria Studios and delivered an unforgettable performance for MTV's Unplugged.

@NextBestPicture The Shape of Water might be the dumbest Best Picture winner of all time. That movie won over Darkest Hour (really?), Get Out (whut?!), and Dunkirk (whut the f*ck?!!). Dunkirk is a visual masterpiece, Get Out is a story masterpiece, fish-man movie is a fish-man movie. Stop it.

How would you rank the last ten #Oscar Best Picture winners? 2016: Moonlight 2017: The Shape Of Water 2018: Green Book 2019: Parasite 2020: Nomadland 2021: CODA 2022: Everything Everywhere All At Once 2023: Oppenheimer 2024: Anora 2025: One Battle After Another

@Brick_Pitino Just do this…Throw a large can of whole tomatoes into a blender…don’t drain. Small whole white onion. Two jalapeños. 5 cloves of garlic. Entire bunch of cilantro, stems removed. Few splashes of red wine vinegar. Salt to taste, don’t be shy. Blend. Promise it will be better.

This is simply the best salsa in the world until proven otherwise

@buitengebieden Dogs rule.

This man playing with his dog on a slide.. “He waits until his owner reaches the end to jump” 🥺

@Globalstats11 @McClain_on_NFL I don’t get it either, Mike…

@ronsterd89 How Jim Croce is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is beyond me. His music will never die, it’s part of every generation. And just look you makes it into that Hall…the Go-Go’s? ABBA? The Cars? You’re telling me the effing Go-Go’s were more influential that Jim Croce?? Shut up.

Who remembers this late Folk/Rock songwriter? Career began in 1966. Name a song..

@SlvrBlkCoffeeHr @RealTomPetrini Wemby has got to be the only player ever that makes the opposing player turn around and run the other way.

Maybe the funniest “Nope” of Wemby’s career 💀

@SpursCentral Bruce Bowen. He was to those 2000’s Spurs teams what Rodman was to the 90’s Bulls teams. Attitude, nastiness, lock-down defense. The team was extremely talented, but to win championships, you have to have an “irritater”…Bowen was that dude. He played his role perfectly.

Do NOT name: Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Wemby, Castle, Harper. Who is your favorite Spurs player of all time?

@SeanFennessey Wut.

Well, Steven Spielberg just told me he’s (finally!) making a western.

@archer_rs Had no plans to visit this summer, but I do now. And you’ll know me when you see me, I’ll be the one with a 2XL NASCAR tshirt from 1996, cargo shorts to my calves, and a mismatched trucker hat that will never be romoved. What I won’t have is “ trainers” cuz WTF is that word.

Americans, if coming to Europe this summer, some suggestions of what not to wear ANY hats indoors Trainers with every outfit Cargo shorts Loud logos and graphics Ill-fitting clothes A shirt of your sports team Flip-flops everywhere Clashing colors and patterns Beach shorts

@NickHarrisFWST @BloggingTheBoys This front office is so bad. A championship team is not just about talent, it’s a lot about culture, and Osa was a culture guy…and a damn good player.

Osa Odighizuwa was a stand-up human for all five of his seasons in Dallas. From a culture standpoint, this is one of the biggest losses the team could have taken. When Marshawn Kneeland passed away, he was on the frontlines waving the 94 flag and galvanizing the guys around him. He stood in front of the media and talked about the emotions they were feeling. He took less money to stay in Dallas last offseason, built a house and rooted his non-profit foundation in DFW. Now, he's off to San Francisco.

@BillSimmons Wilt…Bam…Kobe. Wut.

If you did a 77-Point Game Draft in September, Bam would not have been one of the first 50 picks.

@KatyKatt77 You are fighting the good fight…there are others out here, and we stand with you.

I know I’m gonna get hate for this… but I think the ducks in jeeps thing is stupid

@TheCinesthetic Everyone recalls the “the speech” scene in Braveheart…in front of an army, on the horse. But I will never forget the first time I saw this movie, because of this scene. You are just waiting for him to say mercy…and then. I jumped outta my seat…I was ready to fight for Scotland

Which movie scene will you never forget?

@LarriJo @lady_valor_07 lol…yup…

@13Jaybates @lady_valor_07 Yes! This 👆 makes it possible to avoid the silent squirm in your mind of morals vs ease in return.

I’m 25. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.
