The things that Victor Wembanyama can do in one motion that it takes other world-class basketball players two or three motions is mind boggling.

Have to assume my suburb’s schools are next for this which is a super fun and cool thought that I’m enjoying having right before bed.

Oh cool, we won

Lmaoooooo eat shit, Gophers
I have watched Wisconsin men’s basketball for my entire life and that was one of the worst halves I’ve ever seen them play, so that’s pretty cool and not at all making me want to throw my phone through the TV.

I’m sure a quick little reform will solve this. Maybe some more money for training too?

Think of how stupid the median American voter is and then remember half of them are stupider
This chart from our latest @today.yougov.com poll really captures the politics of President Trump's immigration crackdown. A combined 51% of Americans say they support the *goals* of Trump's immigration policy, but only 27% support how he's implementing it.

Wisconsin’s strategy of only making one (1) shot in the first five minutes of this game is one I have concerns about.

Confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.

“Real accountability for murder and assault.

Damn, that’s a good one! Can’t believe we hadn’t thought up anything for those two crimes yet!
America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE.

- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.

USC MBB doing the same thing to Iowa that they just did to Wisconsin. Smdh, can’t let these soft, west coast fellas come in here and do that!

It’s a weird feeling to mourn someone you never met but feel like you know well.

I hope his young son reads all of Dan’s posts when he grows up and knows how kind, interesting, and funny his dad was. Philadelphia & the sports-writing world writ large lost a great one.

Rest easy, Dan, and Go Birds

Sunday was a game and atmosphere that was nothing like I’ve ever experienced, the heaviness, the anger, the sadness

It’s the first time I’ve been to a game where I truly believe no one wanted to be there

I tried to put it all into words below:

Target Center Was A Ghost Town On Sunday - Zone Coverage
I tried to do the math on how many basketball games I’ve been to. Between the Minnesota Timberwolves, Gophers, and Lynx, I finally settled on around 500

Just saw the Dan McQuade news and am incredibly sad. Philadelphia has lost an institution, and journalism is much worse off without him. Fuck.

That was the coolest/stupidest ending to a sporting event I’ve seen in a good long while
No one told Mourinho they needed a goal until 90 + 5, they were time wasting before that. Within 30 seconds of figuring out that they were actually fucked, they score. Unreal.

Pam Bondi: You post those photos of the Minneapolis criminals?

Social media manager: Sure did boss, real fuckin righteous and sticking it to the cowardly feds just like you asked.

Pam Bondi: what.
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.
