I spent a lot of my early social media experience debating politics.

That shit is exhausting. Because it inevitably becomes debating your humanity to folks who will never acknowledge it.

So I'm not gonna do that here. I'm just here for things and people that bring me joy.

The Chicago Sky Award goes to Jeff Pagliocca.

From replacing the popular Teresa Weatherspoon after 1 season to further alienating Angel Reese and rising ticket prices so fans can pay more money to watch their favorite team not be good, Jeff really has become the face of this franchise.

I miss when owners treated sports teams like luxury items instead of capital.

What I mean is, old owners bought teams to floss. They wanted them to be good because they wanted to show off to their other rich friends.

You don't buy a Lambo because it's a good investment, you buy it to stunt.

Mark Davis paid $2M to buy the Las Vegas Aces in 2021.

$40M training facility opens in 2023.

3 titles in 4 years. Valuation in June 2025 made them worth $310M. Pretty sure that’s going to be higher next time.

15,400% increase so far.

He invested. Time for the WNBA to put that investment back

For context, the only MNBA player to do this was Hakeem Olajuwon in 1994.
