Really cool nugget today from Becky Hammon on hammering home “blind faith”/“blind trust” with the Aces.

At one point this season, she made the team blind fold each teammate and made them walk *backwards* one by one through a maze filled eggs.

Suns and Warriors come to a Draft Day agreement on a trade centered around the rights to Steph Curry for Amare Stoudamire.

Warriors dynasty never happens

Curry becomes heir to 7 seconds or less suns

Reports are that with tourney expansion comes a new opening round - revamping the first four to be 12 AQs and the final 12 at large teams.

Moving all these AQs to the opener ain’t it and is a key reason why tourney expansion harms the smaller schools.

@RoccoMiller8 Per reports, the NCAA is leaning towards a model that places the 12 lowest AQs into the "Opening Round" along with the last 12 at large selections, as part of the 76-team proposal. That would mean tough league champs play early. Last year's Opening Round teams would've been: 57. UNCW (27-7) 58. Montana (25-9) 59. Robert Morris (26-8) 60. Wofford (19-15) 61. Omaha (22-12) 62. Bryant (23-11) 63. Norfolk St. (24-10) 64. SIUE (22-11) 65. American (22-12) 66. Mount St. Mary's (22-12) 67. Alabama St. (19-15) 68. Saint Francis (16-17)

A bit of news ,,, the Phoenix Suns' newest arena sponsor (United Wholesale Mortgage) is owned by the Suns' owner, Mat Ishbia, so I guess it might as well be called Vertical Integration Arena...
Press release from the Phoenix Suns today reads: "The Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury and United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the #1 overall mortgage lender in America, today announced a 10-year, nearly $115 million dollar naming rights partnership — one of the largest in the NBA and WNBA — to name the downtown Phoenix arena after UWM’s consumer-facing brand, Mortgage Matchup. The home of the Suns, Mercury and more than 100 sporting and entertainment events a year will now be named Mortgage Matchup Center. “I’m extremely excited about this partnership as it represents two organizations that have natural alignment and a shared commitment to excellence. Arizona is one of the strongest markets for mortgage brokers and we see a fantastic opportunity through Mortgage Matchup to help consumers better understand the value of having an expert advising them through this process to ensure they get the fastest, easiest and cheapest path to homeownership or a refinance — and greater education will ensure more consumers can take advantage of those benefits,” said UWM President and CEO Mat Ishbia. “The Phoenix Suns and Mercury have a diverse, passionate and engaged fan base in sports that will allow us to make strong connections between mortgage brokers and consumers.” “Our arena hosts more than basketball games and entertainment events — it represents a sense of belonging, community and moments fans carry with them forever,” said Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein. “That’s exactly why Mortgage Matchup is the perfect partner. Just as they help families achieve the dream of homeownership through local community-focused mortgage brokers, together we’ll create a home for unforgettable memories at Mortgage Matchup Center.”

Sounds like a ,,, B1G mistake
Sources: Big Ten discussing $2 billion private capital deal Pete Thamel Dan Wetzel Oct 1, 2025, 04:46 PM ET The Big Ten is in discussions about a private capital deal that would infuse at least $2 billion into the league and its schools, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The discussions include a 10-year extension of the league's grant of rights until 2046, sources told ESPN, which would ensure long-term stability in the Big Ten. According to sources, the private capital deal and grant of rights extension have been discussed for months and presented in multiple forms. A deal and the grant of rights extension would also be a distinct blow to the outside entities attempting to form super leagues around college sports. While there is support from nearly the entire league, according to sources, a few of the league's biggest brands -- including Ohio State and Michigan -- are still in discussions with the league. The aim is to have unanimous support before a vote, sources told ESPN. A decision either way on the private capital deal is expected in the upcoming weeks from the schools in the Big Ten, sources said, and nothing is considered imminent or certain. There are three different private capital entities being considered by the Big Ten, sources told ESPN, and the league has not taken a vote on any plan.

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.

On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.
