@ScottDochterman The Burlington Bears?!?! Who says no! I’ll whip up a stadium rendering real quick

[Elliott Pohnl @ElliottPohnl]

@sportingnews Heck yeah will you play me? 15 min quarters only

[Elliott Pohnl @ElliottPohnl]

All-time terrible take+observation. Which says a lot, honestly. Just all-time awful. Do BETTER my guy.

[Matt Wallace @MattWallace888]

Spurs players REFUSE to put their hands over their hearts for the national anthem!

They are making millions of dollars to play a child’s game and still feel oppressed somehow…

Only 2 players covered their hearts. Take note of which ones!

Stephanie White is exactly who the Indiana Fever wanted to lead the Caitlin Clark-era.

A year in, one of the biggest hurdles she faces is managing the effects of the microscope on Clark and consequently the entire organization.

Wemby tipping the ball back to himself for the bucket 🤯

[Elliott Pohnl @ElliottPohnl]

my wife just had an all-time bad take.

"It's game 1? That literally doesn't matter. It doesn't matter until Game 7. What's final about Game 1?"

sigh.

Alright who made the Hammond Indiana edition

Regarding #Giants WR Malik Nabers and what’s circulating on social media, multiple sources say he was stopped in Paramus by police after a report of road rage by someone driving a similar vehicle. They searched Nabers’ car and spoke to him. No weapon, no arrest, no citation and he was sent on his way.

McCaffery family no doubt approves of this treatment

This is freaking ridiculous.
(On the team's part, not Scott's, to be clear).

[Elliott Pohnl @ElliottPohnl]

Inside is the best man.

Shaq's reaction says it all.

They about to add to the lore 😭

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

Been thinking about this. It's not about hoops, but it is about a hooper.

Give Wemby and his marketing team major credit.

For three or four years now he's been saying yes. Access. Interviews. Riding the subway. Playing chess. Living with monks. Voiced geopolitical takes. Stunt-y or not, doesn't matter.

I think reporters have been starved of actual access from NBA stars for a long time. From LeBron to Jokic, you only got the few crumbs that the player and his sneaker brand and his agency wanted you to have. Then, journalists (and talkshow hosts) would have to make a meal out of crumbs. (Crumbs that often came with strings attached.)

Wemby's kind've bucked that trend. So now that he's got the biggest stage of his career, those same access-starved reporters (who also, fwiw, tend to align with his politics and disposition) have got stories, angles, and the "superhero" they've craved to cover.

Whether Wemby's genuinely that guy or just plays one really well, I don't know. But from a media and marketing standpoint, he and his team ran their long play about as well as we've seen it run in a long time.

Salute.

Myles Garrett will play his first regular season game with the Rams in Australia in a game broadcast on Netflix.

2026 is something.
