Coulda been a contender, became a blogger instead. Irrational love of Boston College sports. All tweets and takes are my own.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

I literally live and die by BC Football but god damn BC Basketball Twitter is better. Bunch of sickos watching a team that had 8 players transfer out and isn’t playing one of their best recruits sweating scheme for a Tuesday game against Dartmouth.

Litigators and Rainmakers are the only two jobs built to withstand the AI onslaught. Rainmakers moreso.

[biglawbro @biglawbro]

talked to an innovation lawyer from an overlord firm. he said that the biggest rainmaker in the group he services is the only lawyer who hasn't even logged into his AI account. the rainmaker's in his 40s, and incredibly confident, talented, intelligent and ny-prep-school connected

considering that my consistent recent AI take away has been "holy shit, we were missing so much before that we were practically faking it," i doubt it'll be long bf ppl are running circles around the smug analog and the clients are wondering why he's not machine gunning issues like everyone else

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@NJbcFan Right that’s what I mean about talent - that’s a bodies-on-the-team issue. There doesn’t seem to be a failing BEYOND that to sink us (like poor clock/bench management, missing free throws, defensive lapses) which every team since Skinner has had in some way shape or form.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

The most exciting part of watching this team is that it’s not immediately clear how teams are going to be beat us.

Talent is one thing - that’ll always be an issue - but in addition to that we’ve always had something else that will kill us: i.e. half court offense with Earl.

Getting my first actual eyes on the @BCMBB boys tonight and holy shit these jerseys are actually really really good?

Was/am I wrong for thinking this was/is great?

9 years later and I can't get over how Marvel introduced their biggest character in the MCU.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@beaconstball Legitimate value in getting the kinks out of the system. I like the way we gamed the schedule this year.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

I don’t see anything like that with this team that is jumping out (other than frontcourt depth).

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

Big numbers, HUGE, legible, names, tasteful outlines, only problem is the retro logo is smaller.

@kvngDanny23 I’d love Garland but trade exception doesn’t work.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@CrownClubCLT 9 days of rest over the course of the next 5 games I think he’ll get into better game shape by the time we’re back home for Memphis.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@NataTheScribe Kinda. He needs to do what he’s done this year, for an entire year, to meet the definition of “serviceable” I’m going for.

He needs to remain in the discussion to be the second frontcourt player off the bench.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@Twittahanginby What he’s been doing thus far this year, for an entire season.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

It will be the most Hornets thing of all time if he ends up being serviceable next year.

🎙️ Tidjane Salaun: "I'm always at 100%. Just trust the process. That's why I'm here. That's why I was on the court. I deserve it. I just played the right way. But I gotta be better defensively. I gotta be better. That's it."

@TidjaneSalaun Halftime interview:

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@beaconstball Oh I remember, I had one of those pitchforks. I honestly think we need to do something to get people to care about sports again in general and (as was your point all along) - the prestige:value ratio is best.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

[Josh @josh__eich]

If I was Blake James right now I would be figuring out how to maximize the amount of resources going into BC basketball, even at the expense of football. You might as well try your best to be good at the revenue sport where conferences will still matter in a few years

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@OG_BENJAYLATREZ 209.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

Speed running the Luka trade would be the most hilarious outcome imaginable.

[Hornets Lead @HornetsLead]

The Charlotte Hornets have the chance to do the funniest thing..

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@iohandles Frontcourt is scary thin. There are moves to be made but cupboard is pretty bare in terms of assets and flexibility. I think they can get to the finals if healthy and Beringer continues to come along.

Could see Donte on the Block with salary filler for Turner, Portis, Grant W.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

What a fucking joke of a team. Don’t hide Chef Jeff.

[Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR]

.@hornets forward Kon Knueppel has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, will be listed as OUT vs CLE on 11/9 and will be reevaluated in four weeks. (2/2)

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

Or have Brosnan do “Old Bond” like Connery in The Rock with “Young Bond” playing the Cage role.

(This is the one scenario where O’Connor would be the best choice as Bond).

[Todd Spence @Todd_Spence]

I don't know why James Bond producers are auditioning anyone at all when Pierce Brosnan returning to the role is the absolute perfect idea. Have him come out of retirement because MI6 needs a veteran's expertise for a mission that no amateur 007 could ever accomplish. Brosnan still looks handsome as hell and the film would easily make a billion dollars to see perhaps the greatest actor to ever play Bond do it again.
