I don't need to be super rich, but I would someday like to have "stop having to buy furniture you have to assemble" money.

Remember how it was going to "galvanize the masses". It has been exactly 4 weeks. I haven't heard hardly anyone talk about Kirk since a the day after his funeral. Like always, they got their use out of him & his death & have already forgotten. His wife will be begging for money within a year.

If Ant, Rudy, Jaden, & Julius can't carry him for 8 minutes to start a game, then they probably don't have what it takes as a starting unit to make a Finals run anyway. Sometimes a player needs to feel like the coach believes in him. I have a feeling that Rob doesn't think that right now.

A.W. Basil @awbasil.bsky.social · 18h

I'm not saying Rob will be a star, but he seems to have no confidence, regardless of what he says. Even if it is just the 1st 10 games, Finch should start him & give him the 1st 8 minutes. You don't have to make it the season plan. The Wolves have a history of being a bad 1st quarter team anyway.

On the Dillingham matter. Does everyone remember Ant's rookie year (and 2nd TBH)? He was a turnover prone, bad shot chucker who couldn't find his man on defense unless he had the ball. We lived on the flashes of brilliance & he got 30mpg to work through it. He also has unflappable confidence.

finally someone of note is saying out loud. They know the GOP is going to get destroyed in a free & fair election in 2026.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Can Jaylen Clark play middle backer for Vikings for a few months? Just a short term loan.

For sure. Any time a defender is sprinting at him in coverage, he has a huge advantage. No one will be able to fully commit to the close out AND stop him from blowing by. His shot just needs to hold up so they have to close out at full speed.

Also, is it too early for trades to start happening? They desperately need a hole plugging DT & better ILBs. Teams are going to keep feasting in the run game & middle of the field in the pass game. Might have to let Metellus play inside backer on passing downs when Harry is on the field.

It's really my only gripe with him overall as the HC & why I don't like HCs calling plays. Focus on the overall picture. Let your OC or QBC call them with your input on the gameplan. You can only play the type of game your players are able to.

A.W. Basil @awbasil.bsky.social · 2d

listening to @skornorth.bsky.social & they point out how KOC seemed very unhappy with how his offense had to be schemed to be successful yesterday. I hope it's an eye opener for him. You can design the greatest plays ever, but if your line can't give the time for them to develop, it doesn't matter.

another fully ignorant or hate filled female who clings to the far right. Even though without progressives fighting for women's rights for over a century, the only driving she'd have done in her life would be dropping kids off at school or going to the supermarket.

I don't care it's legal, but there should have been several caveats. Like no online betting. Only in establishments licensed for gambling. No advertisements on television. Bets and winnings should be taxed on a federal level with a high rate. If you can place $1000 bet, then you afford a 20% tax.

I know he's technically retired & I wish him all the best, but wouldn't it be fuckin awesome if Ricky Rubio could come back for random minutes with this year's Wolves team.
