    Raptors' Jontay Porter banned from NBA for betting on games

    That would have made more sense for sure, but no.

    Jack Edwards to retire

    This is really what separated Jack from the garden variety homer announcer. He loves hockey and that always shined through in his announcing and in his discussions with Brick about the Bs and their opponents through the years.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yeah, they are both about 50/50 splits. NBA NHL NBA players make more on average (and median) because there are fewer of them (18 roster spots for NBA, 23 for NHL), a bigger revenue pot and probably some other smaller factors.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I think there's an experiential component to people not accepting that Ohtani wasn't involved. People who have not lived long term in a place where they don't know the language may be underestimating just how much comfort someone gets from having a friend who does speak the language to help...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Given people have used prison phones to talk about the illegal shit they did, Mizuhara sending that text while knowing the bookie was under investigation isn't very far out there. Mizuhara could easily have been lying to everybody. Thus, I read the texts as most likely meaning the bookie...

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    They got really lucky he was wearing tights underneath and he didn't slide on his ass.

    The Tommy John Epidemic

    The difference from stock car racing is that the restrictor plates apply to all competitors equally. But there are two sides to the competition in baseball - hitters will probably destroy slower stuff now. Any change has to account for that. Maybe if you give pitchers some advantages (larger...

    A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas.

    JJ BLEDAY IS A REAL PERSON'S NAME. HE'S DEFINITELY NOT TOTALLY MADE UP!

    Getting ready for your pro day too, eh?

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Tatum is there to let them know if the QB is holding the ball too long?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I can hear this in my head. Straight back to confused students from my Osaka teaching days.

    Doogie does defense, the Sam Hauser thread

    What quarter was it, which team is ahead, by how much, what was the spread and how much did the ref have on the game?

    2023-24 Celtics

    Maybe they make an AI robo-Kobe to be the pilot.

    3/14 - Suns @ Cs

    The coach is out there trying to block shots after the whistle. Not dressing a key player for a playoff game to rest them doesn't really comport with that mentality. Maybe going light with minutes in a given game if they are blowing a team out.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    I assume he gets some dosh for his appearances, could be wrong. Maybe he gets paid in exposure.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    It's a big omission on his part and he is getting paid for his analysis. I feel like SC stayed in the public consciousness because of the Sox using it, but that might just be because I dislike it. It's hard to say being in Boston though. No idea what kind of airtime or cache it has outside...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    I see. Good point re: revealing itself. It is essentially unknowable and smacks of "old man doesn't like music that is popular amongst young women," bias. If I had to bet, I would say she already has one, though. I am pretty sure "Shake It Off" still has quite a bit of cultural cache amongst...
