@ILLBeDamnItsWes I mean maybe so, I’m not defending anyone, but I’m not a big fan of just taking out a whole group of people with hearsay. I don’t agree with any of those politics. Just like being more human to most people and not be like the people in the far right
A bit of news to share. I must make official that, after 54 years at the @MiamiHerald, I am among the 30 employees laid off in the latest cost-slash by McClatchy. I’ll speak of this for the first time Monday at 7 a.m. on @TheGregCoteShow podcast & our YouTube channel.
Bill Simmons, the popular sports podcaster who has championed sports betting, is under review by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission after he admitted on a recent episode to using his daughter’s boyfriend to place bets for him. https://t.co/r5Y9Nrp4SH
Messi’s International achievements with Argentina
• 2008 Olympics Final: Di María 1-0
• 2021 Copa Final: Di María 1-0
• 2022 Finalissima: Di María goal
• 2022 World Cup Final: Di María penalty won + goal
Take Di María out of history and Messi is basically Michael Ballack in an Argentina shirt
This final loss confirmed a suspicion I have had about Argentina and nope it is not that they are cheats. That's not a suspicion. It is the fact that all of Argentina's success on the international stage is largely due to one player.
ANGEL DI MARIA
In every single international tournament he had been the one to shoulder the burden, provide attacking width and even defensive support while Messi literally WALKED across the pitch. It is disgraceful that when the heroes of Argentina are being celebrated his name does not come first.
He is by far the most important player for that team.
France & Mbappe played 80 mins against this Spanish side with 0 shots on target.
Argentina & Messi played 90 mins against this Spanish side with 0 shots on target.
Cristiano ALONE had 2 shots on target against this Spanish side.
Cristiano you deserve an apology omg
الارجنتين لعبت 5 نهائيات بوجود دي ماريا وفازت فيها كلها؛ و دي ماريا مسجل بـ 4 نهائيات والنهائي الوحيد اللي ما سجل فيه اخذ فيه جائزة نجم المباراة
الارجنتين بآخر 4 نهائيات خاضتها بغياب دي ماريا او عدم جاهزيته خسرت بجميع الـ 4 نهائيات، وما قدرت تسجل اي هدف بجميع الـ 4 نهائيات
الارجنتين يتيمة بدون دي ماريا، اللاعب اللي لا يمكن يخذلك بالمباريات الحاسمة
Seven years.
It’s hard to put into words what this city has meant to me.
When Miami drafted a 19-year-old kid out of Kentucky, they believed in me before I’d proven anything. Together, we experienced just about everything this game has to offer.
Two trips to the Finals. Deep playoff runs. Becoming an All-Star. The highest highs, the toughest moments, and every lesson in between.
Through every challenge, every expectation, every rumor, and every setback, I always believed in one thing: put your head down, go to work, and represent the name on the front of the jersey the right way. Every time I stepped on the floor, my goal was to help bring another championship to Miami.
This city gave me more than a basketball career.
It gave me a place to grow up.
I became a man here. I became a father here. I built lifelong relationships here.
Miami became home.
To Spo, Pat, Micky, the entire organization, my teammates, the coaches, trainers, equipment staff, arena staff, and everyone who poured into me over the last seven years—thank you. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me, challenging me, and helping shape the player and person I’ve become.
And to the fans…
Thank you for riding with me.
Through every big shot, every playoff run, every injury, every rumor, and every season—you showed me love I’ll never forget. Whether you cheered for me in the arena, wore my jersey, or simply believed in me, I felt it. I’ll always be grateful for that support.
As excited as I am for this next chapter back home in Milwaukee, a part of me will always belong to Miami.
Miami didn’t just shape my career.
It shaped my life.
Thank you for everything.

Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
