Decided to tap into the Substack gimmick and just start yappin' about stuff that I find interesting. I figured it's a good way to keep the writing skills sharp and start experimenting with different things.

Anyway, a future congrats to Lubbock and Tempe.

CHUCK: Look, I loved the Muppets and Fraggle Rock, but Jim Henson and those hippies killing all them people was wrong.

SHAQ: I don’t care what you say, you look like Black Professor Honeydew.

KENNY: [laughing]

ERNIE: You mean Charles Manson, Chuck. Jim Henson was a puppeteer.

That’s now three Northern California schools sending their kids to play games three time zones away.

Sure, why not.

Allan Houston looks like he could still come off the bench for like 10 minutes a game. Just spot him up in the corner.

Hey, it's Kenan and Kel star Ron Harper!

We stopped putting stupid men in ports potties and launching them with a slingshot. Thats how we ended up here. Theo vonn should be a lackey on the 57th season of jackass
A lot of people don’t know that Theo Von is wearing a pelt on his head from an animal that RFK Jr. killed with his automobile and ate

A pedantic thing that irks me is referring to the NBA All-Star break as the "halfway point". I know why we refer to it as such, but it's not true! Teams have played roughly 65% of their games already!

The top three picks of the NBA Draft goes to random playoff teams. There, fixed it. Enough.

Two birds with one stone. AEW finally has a new main event star and all of this will compel them to get the belt off Edgelord McGee. Everybody wins.

Commissioner Jay-Z’s friend strikes again.
The Big 12 will play its basketball tournaments on an LED "GlassFloor," the league announced.

Same technology used around the NBA All-Star events a few years ago.
