Again, he gets graded on a curve. Dude is losing his shit because a reporter pushes back a bit on his lies, and he loses his temper, insults her, and walks out of the interview. And yet, he keeps being presented as a sane and normal person.
There is some inside-out versatility to new #Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks' game, but he became really adept as an outside receiver attacking the blind spots in corners and forcing them quickly into recovery mode or completely turning them around. Gave his QB more room to fit the ball into tight windows.
This app is becoming oversaturated with takes on SGA. Here's the only take that matters:
SGA is a superstar with zero star power. Even if you ignore his disgusting amount of flopping: He doesn't provide above the rim highlights like LeBron/Jordan. He doesn't provide insane 3 pointers like Steph. He doesn't provide crazy defensive highlights like Wemby. Even his assists are the most boring & basic passes imaginable.
Much like Tom Brady, SGA's career goes against everything that makes sports great. A player doesn't deserve MVPs when their team is still great without them. A player doesn't deserve rings or Finals MVPs when their performance consistently falls off a cliff in the playoffs. Perhaps someday SGA will prove this wrong by raising his game in the playoffs, but at this moment and time, it's the truth.
Ultimately, the worst thing about SGA isn't his flopping, it's how he's a reminder that even in sports, you can get farther by being lucky than you can on your own merit.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

Ump is Jen Powal, who last year became the first woman umpire in @mlb. She moved to her right to get a clear view of the plate. Terrific slide by Trevor Larnach, outstanding call by Powal. @twins
Aaron Rodgers & John Elway were both way more talented and fun to watch than Tom Brady ever was. People remember Barry Sanders more than Emmitt Smith & Franco Harris despite the "rings" difference. Same applies here.
Only weirdos enjoyed watching Brady throw checkdowns over & over again from clean pockets.
Aaron Rodgers became the 5th QB in NFL history to win Back-to-Back MVP (2020-2021).
Madden 22 featured Brady & Mahomes who were 4 years removed from their last MVP.
Rodgers had as many MVPs (4x) as these 2 combined.
Why?
Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥
The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes.
This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.
This is the culture we create in America by mocking other people for trying to do their jobs as best as they possibly can. And then we wonder why our kids don’t show effort and commitment
Hey, for the record, if anyone is sending hateful messages or DMs to @Elite_Drafters, don't do that shit. It's fantasy football we're talking about here. I'm just having some fun, but I understand that, in doing so, someone can easily take it too far because it's the Internet.
I built a simple website to see exactly how much each MLB backstop has changed over the last 10 years.
