Caris LeVert on Jaden Ivey:
“I hate to see someone punished for their beliefs. What happened to free speech in this country? I fully support and agree with what Jaden has said over the past few days. I can’t sit and watch him be silenced, if that’s an issue, then cut me”.

The #NFL looks terrible incentivizing a program and then failing to provide incentive after #Bears clearly met criteria. Awful precedent.
Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin
The Bears were loud in the right places (public media settings with maximum visibility at the combine) regarding how they felt wronged by the NFL’s decision to not award comp picks for Ian Cunningham’s departure. It goes against the spirit of what the Rooney Rule is supposed to be about (promoting minority advancement in coaching and front office positions). The NFL was adamant in January that it wasn’t something that could be appealed but the Bears tried anyways. Can’t fault them for their attempt, but fall out from this should lead to a real conversation about the rule in the first place and how poorly this reflects back on the league.

Dark is one of the best shows ever made. I'll always be interested in whatever they're doing next.

@BeniRaeHarmony Not at the expense of Illinoians. I am one. And this is what I want from my leader.
Keep kicking ass, @GovPritzker
English
You’re a joke. You spend every waking moment despising the leader of the free world, at the expense of Illinoisans.
Newsflash, you aren’t the President. You have one job, governor the state of Illinois.
Sit this one out, JB.
Governor JB Pritzker@GovPritzker
Donald Trump is once again sidestepping the Constitution and once again failing to explain why he’s taking us into another war. Americans asked for affordable housing and health care, not another potentially endless conflict. God protect our troops.

For all the #Bears fans complaining about Illinois or Pritzker, maybe give this a listen.

@PaulCharchian @allinkid Ehhh…Our Samsung washing machine has outlasted every other appliance we have. LG is complete trash.
English
@allinkid At this point, Samsung is awful at every consumer appliance device, including TVs.
If you want your washer to last until 2067, the only option is Speed Queen.
English
If you had to buy a washing machine, which brand would you go with? (Poll bc had mixed results with each)

When the NBA realized that it was becoming too easy for players to sink 3-point shots, they were forced to move the 3-point line back to encourage more field goals from the paint.
This is known as the dunk cost fallacy.

When Henry VIII threatened to seize the monasteries, the church thought he’d never do it because then he’d be financially responsible for the support of their resident clergy this is known as the monk cost fallacy

Also seemingly lost in movie history is the subtle brilliance of James Horner's score for Sneakers. The mournful, haunting notes really punctuate the end of this scene.
cinesthetic.@TheCinesthetic
Sneakers (1992) got buried by a goofy title and clumsy marketing, but underneath it is a ridiculously well cast, sharply written caper with real wit and gorgeous early 90s craft. People are only now catching on to how good it always was.

Caleb Williams isn’t ready to win playoff games yet.
English
The post-game interview with Caleb saying "we know who we are" is so fraudulent.
You scored 9 points before you needed a 4% shot on an onside kick to get you another chance.
Please spare us the nonsense.
English
I hope Cairo Santos got a game ball
Joe Ostrowski@JoeOstrowski
Oh shit. DJ Moore busted out a cheese grater hat when he got a game ball during Good Better Best.
English
@spokesnbeer Because relying on an onside is...by defintion...fraudulent or they wouldn't need it
English
@DrewDavenportFF lol that’s part of it, Drew. They always believe they can get the 4% plays to go their way. They literally have 6 comeback wins in the 4th quarter. What is fraudulent in that comment when they have proved they can do it???
English
@spokesnbeer Is it a take? I don't get it...they had 9 points until the onside kick. Am I missing something?

Anyone else having CBS Fantasy football league issues this morning? 1/3 of teams is showing a Zero point score after last night and now has a loss instead of a win @CBSFantasy

It's the start of the NFL season, and it's a change for the Late-Round Podcast. Some big news out of mom's basement: I'm partnering with iHeart Media and the NFL and will be joining the NFL Podcast Network this season. media.nfl.com/news-and-relea…
