@GarthGlissman Garth- all the “draft guys “ look through the lens of - they worship anybody they cover , and how does it effect their money. What they don’t realize this keeps up . Nobody will care about colleges with all foreign players and their business is dead

I have great respect for Jonathan’s work dating back to my time at the NBA, but I respectfully disagree with his characterization of the NCAA’s approach to international players. The NCAA does not seek to exclude all international players. Rather, the NCAA seeks to implement common sense limits on whether, and the extent to which, international players who have played multiple seasons of high level pro basketball overseas have remaining NCAA eligibility. Getting this issue right is essential to preserve fairness and opportunities at predominantly taxpayer-funded American colleges for American kids who typically graduate from HS at age 18 and, as a practical matter, must immediately enroll in college if they want to continue playing high-level basketball.

The data is even more revealing when you remove suicides. In 2024, America had 15,364 gun homicides. The same year, Europe had around 62,700 deaths from summer heat. America had ~2000. That's a policy choice.

Stephen Colbert’s show is over because it lost $40 million a year. If he’d made CBS money, he’d still have a job. It’s as simple as that. I discussed with @TomiLahren.

Great to be back in Boston tonight. #greatfans @RedSox

@nbadraftpoint They weren’t good enough in their craft. They suck. They are losers bad decisions. Learn from life give somebody else a chance now. This is how companies do it. Oh well that’s not fair. No, you are fired. Oh everybody gets a second chance and a trophy.

If legitimate, this would be ridiculously unfair for a lot of the younger players who have played pro minutes but are legitimately college aged Very curious to see what this ends up resulting in

@CBB_Central Pretty soon, you will be out of a job because the only generation that follows college basketball is people from maybe 35 to 60 and they’re all leaving. Letting inferior players who can’t play in the pros in their countries and the G league - you are a loser get another job.

The entire concept that you are ineligible to play in college, where players make millions, because you were making 30k overseas is absurd. Especially since many players make more money in prep school than they do in European pro leagues.

@QuickBooks my company has not been able to Login to QBO for 4 days. We have opened 4 cases and they have been closed without resolution. Please explain.

@TermineRadio Is that Best Knicks Team with a question mark ? Look who the 93 Knicks played in the playoffs vs who these Knicks are playing today . Soft, soft and soft. Worst ECF playoff field ever

@MattNorlander @CBSSports Who cares anymore

Breaking—A huge new event is in the works involving a majority of CBB's blue bloods, sources tell @CBSSports. It's called the Diamond Cup. The debut is planned for 2027. It's a major, unprecedented scheduling idea. Can it all come together? Let's hope so. cbssports.com/college-basket…

@cblatts My hypothesis- you should not be employed by anyone

My hypothesis: US university education was a massively successful export industry (foreign students paying tuition + housing + living expenses is literally classified as exports) and Trump admin collapsed this demand.

Jeff Bezos on America's spending and taxes: "We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We already have the most progressive tax system in the world. The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all taxes. The bottom 50% pay just 3%. We have a spending problem."

@PulciniMichele @John_Karalis Exactly . Injuries always cost teams in the finals that’s why no one repeats. He of all people is gonna get hurt. Let’s face it tall skinny guys who move get hurt in the NBA

@John_Karalis So what? Stevens knew the situation even before yesterday game.

New at Celtics on SI: Victor Wembanyama Is Changing Everything About the Boston Celtics Plan for the Future si.com/nba/celtics/on…

@John_Karalis This dude’s body isn’t meant for the long-term unfortunately

Spurs are a bigger threat to catch the Celtics than the Lakers

@ScottKacsmar Hey hoops historian. Go look at Tatum‘s game six and seven versus Philadelphia and Bucks down 3 to 2 on the road in the playoffs.

Wemby's played 11 playoff games, 9 he wasn't concussed or ejected from, and he already has a better signature moment in them than SGA, Jokic, Tatum, etc. have.

It feels like everyone I know living in top east coast cities (NYC, Boston, DC, Philly) is either moving to Florida or thinking about moving to Florida.

@BasedJace__ He should be making pizzas in Warwick. He played then in game 7 and they were in a hole immediately

It's pretty jarring for Joe Mazzulla that these playoff teams are trusting their young players and winning with them, while he had them camped out on the bench for the entire series.

@FlorioGina Remember what she looked like in high school and in college. That’s a fantasy changeover in itself.

The common response to this news is that Alex Cooper is somehow leading her audience down a path that she herself is not choosing. But what’s happening here is actually the exact feminist dream. A woman participates in hookup culture as much as she wants when she’s in her prime. She sleeps around, has casual sex, gets the ick, dumps men, gets dumped, has summer flings, gets abortions if needed. She’s hot. She has pretty privilege and isn’t afraid to use it. But when she feels like the time is right, she settles down with a high value man — only because it’s her choice, not because she feels pressured by societal standards or a ticking biological clock. This man does not care about her past because he wouldn’t dare judge a woman for expressing herself sexually. They have a beautiful wedding and her dress is stunning. She gets pregnant when she feels like she’s ready to take on motherhood. She trades in her promiscuous days only when she wants to, on her own terms. And the perfect man she finds is more than happy to go along with her timeline because he respects her and her desires. And he doesn’t want to lose her. Alex has quite literally lived out the perfect feminist blueprint thus far. You see, the only problem is, this modern feminist blueprint usually only works for exceptionally successful, gorgeous women with influence (with exception of course, but we’re talking about the rule here). Models, actresses, wealthy bachelorettes and entrepreneurs. It doesn’t quite translate for the everyday mid who works a boring corporate job. By the time she’s well into her 30s, the everyday mid with the promiscuous past generally doesn’t have the same allure and magnetism as a famous rich blonde who regularly rubs shoulders with elite celebrities. The men that she wants to try and settle down with have far less interest in her and would much rather marry a woman much younger, much less seasoned, and much more fertile. This is why we are seeing such high rates of childless unmarried women. They followed the early years of the blueprint, spending their 20s and even most of their 30s dating casually, believing that they too could find a high value man when they’re older and eventually sick of the dating scene—why wouldn’t they be able to? They look at famous, rich celebs and influencers and think, hey I can do that too. If they can postpone marriage and kids until they are “ready,” so can I! But everyday women simply aren’t on the same playing field as women like Alex Cooper. Few will fully understand this. Many will try to make excuses as to why this isn’t true (brace yourself for the outliers’ stories). Even if you don’t see anything morally wrong with the hookup culture that Alex Cooper praises on her show, young women would be smart to understand the real world, and that you have a much greater chance at locking down a high value man when you’re younger and a bit more austere. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

@BillSimmons listening to the pod with your dad. The Celtics were 1-2 not 3-11 with Tatum in the lineup against the top teams. They beat the Thunder at home and they lost close games to OKC and the Spurs on the road . Brad is saying bye JB , bye the pizza maker from Cranston.

@MCreek54 @ClayTravis Yep - the five year rate from guys who get drafted in the NBA and still playing is 15. 1/3 of those are Europeans. So 10 dudes are employed for more than 5 years. They should go to class.

@ClayTravis I know this is a minor concern, but don’t they have classes to attend? Shouldn’t they be focused on attaining their degrees?

I will never complain about there being too many college football playoff games because I spent the first twenty years of my college football fandom begging for there to be any playoff at all. 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 teams, I’ll take any of it.

@shockastillz @vaughnfromthchi @esidery lol

@DOnofrio850 @vaughnfromthchi @esidery Appearances ? He has the same amount of titles as Tatum plus being a better defender / post scorer
