Mitch Robinson is amazing.
He just got caught out of position going for a steal, recovered to challenge the shot, got the rebound and passed out to start a break.

Anybody know who’s behind this “New York Car Insurance should be cheaper” ad campaign?
Hard not to assume there’s some billionaire that stands to make money from this.

I realize an 11-point deficit in the second quarter is basically nothing but how bad is Utah?

Driving home in traffic. Car ahead of me stops in the middle of an intersection.
I stop at the line.
The light goes red.
Traffic clears, and the car ahead is able to move up, but I'm still stopped at the light.
My dash lights up with "THE CAR AHEAD HAS MOVED" message.
Who is this helping?

The year-end recaps start to hit and I realize a significant portion of the music I listen to would most charitably be described as "dad rock."
I won't apologize for this. Pink Floyd is awesome and Rumours is a classic.
But I could maybe stand to branch out a little.
What you got for me?

There will always be awful people looking to take advantage of accommodations or benefits or other programs intended to help people who actually do need help.
I'd prefer that everyone who needs help gets it - even if that means some of those awful people slip through.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Feels like the Pats will score approximately as many points as they choose to score tonight.
Embarrassing no-show by the Giants.

Joking aside - doesn't it seem like the Pats are leading with their helmets on just about every tackle?
How was that not a penalty?

Dart is wearing what appears to be about 1000 karats worth of diamonds in a necklace, which seems like a questionable move in a sport where people are looking to grab you and throw you to the ground.

If this were still a functioning country this would be Hegseth's "You can't handle the truth" moment.
