ESPN's fantasy basketball autodraft settings are just insanely bad. One guy autodrafted tonight and ended up with Bojan Bogdanovic and Derrick Rose 😭😭😭

Alright y'all, gimme all of your fantasy basketball sleepers. Who's having a good preseason? Who's gonna blow up?

The stupidest fucking people are running the country. They're cruel and heartless, but they're also just really stupid.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

I'm pretty excited to finally have a good reason to cut bait from LaMelo (had him for like $7 after his rookie year)

Also our keeper inflation is n*2 so resetting the clock will be nice!

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 1d

This is where I'm leaning based on the research I've done as well

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 1d

Just one. I think J-Dub is the smart and safe choice here

FBB draft tomorrow. H2H 9-category, 12 teams, $200 auction budget. My keeper options:

LaMelo: $20
J-Dub: $21
Franz: $22
Josh Hart: $9
Coby White: $11

I have no idea what to do

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Maybe this is ESPN trying to do me a favor

(Just kidding this is bullshit, what the hell am I paying for?)

Anyone else trying to view the Shootout getting a technical difficulties screen on the ESPN app?

Strong wingspan. Destined to be a hooper

Did Sumrall bet Tulane -6.5? What a dumb thing to call there

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

The only thing left to go wrong for Tulane tonight is their kicker who is perfect on the season thus far missing the game winning FG as time expires

AND YET

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

Never seen anything quite like this before

Tulane is absolutely snake bit tonight.

I've never seen a team lose to themselves the way that Tulane is currently losing to themselves

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

Tulane should be wholly embarrassed. This is a joke

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

That ECU drive was among the most frustrating I've ever watched. So many chances for Tulane to get off the field and they just vomited all over themselves instead

See we're all not that different than LeBron

Shams Charania Tweets @shamsbot.bsky.social · 3d

Lakers star LeBron James is sidelined for at least 3 to 4 weeks due to sciatica on his right side. He is out for the start of the 2025-26 NBA season.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

That'll do it for the Yankees and god willing also Aaron Boone

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 4d

That Jazz error might be it for the Yanks. Just a massive mistake when the alternative was an inning ending double play

Horrible 0-2 pitch. Cannot throw the ball that close to the plate in that count against that hitter.

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 5d

And of course this nonsense played an integral part
