@CroixBoy @awfulannouncing @BillSimmons He literally wrote The Book of Basketball but whatever

@awfulannouncing ESPN gave @BillSimmons a chair back in the 2012-13 season and for while he was Countdown, talk about an absolute disaster. He fooled people into thinking he knew NBA basketball, when in fact he was nothing more than a Celtic shill wondering who they could trade players for...

Bill Simmons lamented the fall-off of ESPN's "Inside the NBA" and the underwhelming season put in by Shaquille O'Neal. awfulannouncing.com/nba/bill-simmo…

@supyoscn @AnalyticsCapper I’m not saying there wasn’t intent. But 2012 Ron Artest seeking out Harden to elbow him in the face for no reason and Wemby getting mauled and throwing an elbow in frustration is not comparable

@LionSheepish @AnalyticsCapper How are they not? Look at Wemby's face when he is winding up.....1000% intentional. Just an immature kid acting out. So he should not go unpunished.

Artest = 7 game suspension Wemby = no suspension Thoughts?

@_Roooyyy @LeBatardShow Why?

@LeBatardShow If you could tell me one person that I hate in life is this fucking man

@SluggaMclovin @espn @shannonsharpeee @ShamsCharania They don’t play tonight and Game 6 is in Houston

@alpha_the_dev @elonmusk TLDR: a bunch of non-sensical, selectively chosen historical arguments that have nothing to do with modern man.

If you criticize Jews, you are anti-Semitic. If you criticize Muslims, you are Islamophobic. If you criticize Blacks, you are racist. What does these three groups have in common? What these three groups have in common is that at a particular point in their history, they were discriminated against, they were persecuted. For instance, if you look at the Jews, they have a long history of persecution. If you look at the Muslims, they have been stereotyped, especially from 9/11, and since the whole issue with Islam and the whole issue with the Middle East. If you look at Blacks, Blacks have been the victim of one of the most brutal slave trade that happened on the history of planet Earth. So when you were a white man, try to impute yourself in the equation or in the conversation or in the discussion. At what point in time were you the subject of discrimination and humiliation and destruction and slavery? At what particular point in time? Even if you were the victim of slavery, it must have been almost a thousand years ago. You start talking about barbaric slave trade, which obviously happened more than 1,000 years ago. You guys, you make 8%, I believe 8% of the world population, and you have up to, you have up to, I believe, more than 50% of the resources. You own more than 50% of the resources in the world. 8% of the population, more than 50% of the resources. So on what basis have you been, were you, were you victims of chattel slavery? Were you expelled from countries? Were you stereotyped as terrorists and arsonists and fanatics and fundamentalists? So I don't really get the whole issue of trying to impute yourself and be part of the, and be part of the victim when you are actually not a victim, when you are actually the victimizer. Because at every point in time, who, who expelled the Jews from Germany? Who expelled the Jews from Spain? Who expelled the Jews from England? Europeans. Who stereotyped Muslims and who stereotyped Islamists? Europeans. Who discriminated and who persecuted and who engaged in slave trade? Europeans. So how exactly did you people want to put yourself into a kind of game of victimhood? Make it make sense to me.

Excellent point

@jemelehill @LeBatardShow Agreed. Just move the team to Nashville instead

This is some bullshit.

@NickL382825 @BillSimmons He doesn’t live in Boston. He lives in a different liberal shit hole just for the record.

How is this a real story?

@IanSpeedHQ @espn The birth of your child seems like an extraordinary circumstance

@espn “Extraordinary circumstances” = too good to ignore. So the rule bends for stars. Noted.

Breaking: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers' Luka Doncic and Pistons' Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell @ShamsCharania.

@5150Inprogress @stephenjnesbitt @SamBlum3 So you are fine with the statue, you just want to see the Texas Rangers get approval from the commish to put up a statue of a Texas Ranger? If he’s not governing the statutes at ballparks, he becomes useless.

@LionSheepish @stephenjnesbitt @SamBlum3 He can’t address anything on private property at any ballpark anymore. That was what he said. That was what I pointed out. He made himself useless. I think the statue is fine. There’s just too many stupid people on this app who don’t read things properly anymore

The Texas Rangers installed a deeply controversial statue in their ballpark concourse this spring. And they aren't willing to provide answers as to why it's there. Yikes. Important work from @SamBlum3: nytimes.com/athletic/71975…

@5150Inprogress @stephenjnesbitt @SamBlum3 I heard the Tigers have a statue of a tiger at their stadium. I hope the commissioner addresses this as well.

@stephenjnesbitt @SamBlum3 My biggest take away from this isn’t the statue. It’s the statement by MLB and the commissioners office saying teams can do whatever they want at their ballpark. Depict anything you want. That’s an interesting precedent they’ve now established. Nice punt Rob.

@olmst25097 @adamcarolla Literally no one is choosing kings

@adamcarolla Authoritarian nationalism is not the patriotic federalism that was the Constitution. I choose no Kings from either national political party.

You no kings assholes better go find a fucking mirror

@MichelleWth6 @greendragonhq @delysidish @elonmusk The gospel is where you draw the line with reality huh?

@LionSheepish @greendragonhq @delysidish @elonmusk Mythological stories about rampant incest dont really prove a whole lot.

Happened again

@greendragonhq @delysidish @elonmusk Adam, Eve and Robert/Roberta all hanging out in Eden.

@delysidish @elonmusk Transgender people have existed since the beginning of time. You just started noticing them because Republicans wanted to fight more culture wars.

@cryptivaaa @CollinRugg Common sense

@CollinRugg What were the key legal arguments that led to Velásquez receiving a reduced sentence?

NEW: Former UFC fighter Cain Velásquez shares a message to his fans after being released from prison for firing at a man who allegedly mol*sted his 4-year-old son at daycare. In 2022, Velásquez got in a high-speed, 11-mile chase with accused pedo Harry Goularte Jr. Velásquez reportedly rammed his car into Goularte's vehicle before pulling out his gun and firing at Goularte. The DA's office had requested a sentence of 30 years to life for Velásquez. He was sentenced to 5 years at the time, already serving 3 of them, but was able to earn additional time off after participating in rehabilitative programming. Velásquez says he is happy to be back home with his kids and thanks his fans for their support. Congrats, Cain.

@vikesinsider Clearly he is just as good as Josh Allen and will be the favorite for MVP this year.

Kyler Murray (7 seasons) - 235.2 passing yards per game - 36.7 rushing yards per game Josh Allen (8 seasons) - 235.2 passing yards per game - 36.9 rushing yards per game

@meekrose @AdamSchefter Teams would absolutely give up a second round pick for him. But Dallas would also match any realistic offer sheets to keep him there.

@AdamSchefter Good luck finding a team willing to give up a 2nd for a kicker. Cowboys likely keeping him.

Cowboys placed the second-round, $5.76 million tender on kicker Brandon Aubrey, per source. Aubrey now can sign an offer sheet with another team that the Cowboys would have the right to match. If they don’t, they would get back a second-round pick.

@mrssmith2018 @dsonoiki @Anc_Aesthetics Crime rates are down

@dsonoiki @Anc_Aesthetics What the actual fuck is better in your life since Biden left that you need to come up with actual bullshit about Kamala ? List all the things Trump made better You can’t name a single one !

every time there’s a fake astroturfed protest like “no kings day” or the women’s march, someone has a sign that says “if Kamala had won, we’d be at brunch” they think the sign means “if Kamala had won, things wouldn’t be so crazy” but what the sign actually means is “if Kamala had won, the vertically integrated messaging apparatus that spans media, academia, and Hollywood wouldn’t have activated us as its little chaos agent footsoldiers in service of homosexual transgender open borders communism”

@WilliamPow93217 @elonmusk I think you are confused by the word “victim” here. The person that was killed and had their brain and eyeball eaten is the victim.

@elonmusk Yo you only retweet on black victims, i no he deserves the harshest punishment, but white victims you'll pretended to be unnoticed.

Probability of murder and cannibalism again is ~100%
