@_birdsofwar @Coach_Moore_MV @brett66884488 @RossDellenger Guess who else said that? He did, that’s the whole damn point. He said he was bringing his luggage and it’s Louis. Deion did what he said he was going do, at least for week 1, so just suck it up and take it

At least 8. Count them. 8 NYPD at taxpayer cost of tens of thousands of dollars to arrest a man for smoking in the park.

New Yorkers: Are you okay with the city burning through your money to the tune of billions every year for this kind of garbage?

In these big cases, it's never more clear that SCOTUS justices are just bloggers with a law library and law clerks. They're really just slinging takes.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Some of the takes are really good (KBJ's dissent) some are really bad (Thomas' concurrence) but ultimately these are just takes, and whatever take you can get five votes for is The Law and What The Constitution Actually Means

@minakimes Mina I agree with almost everything you said but cash spend as percentage of cap has been trending down over the last 2 CBAs so that not entirely true. Owners in some cases are indeed pocketing the difference to an extent

@ApexJones22 @Biykend You’re skipping over how just prior Kobe had asked for a trade before they got Pau and his teams getting bounced in the 1st round when he refused to shoot at one point in the 4th

This makes me think highly of Wemby, he’s got this right

@0xAl3xC @akshay_elavia @DavidSacks That’s not all he said and if it was it be the dumbest shit ever because of course. He was and has been wrong but rather than ever admit his failings he’s trying to retreat to an obvious position and couch it in terms that support his original position

Shohei Ohtani’s 25th HR off Kyle Freeland and in the replay the cameras cut away from Kyle as he says “How the FUCK did you hit that”

[Jelani Roy @Jlawhat]

@matthewstoller @jbouie @roscone5 You’re discounting what he’s saying about worker control. Small business in this environment without worker control/power has appealed to a certain type of authoritarian leaning with worker control size of business is less important and you can still be anti monopoly

[Drew Butler @DrewButler]

Great advice, and this also pertains to student-athletes capturing their #NIL value while they can.

I hear many “experts” telling SAs to “be selective”, “protect their brands”, “don’t dilute” their #NIL worth.

Ummm…that worth goes to $0 - very quickly.

Take advantage, now.

@chrislhayes Well they for employees, so I guess he’s right

At 36, Lionel Messi will make more per year from Miami's MLS team than any NFL player earns. NFL owners can thank the salary cap (and the lack of competing leagues) for keeping the best football players from getting what they truly deserve. https://t.co/ePScqb7mLO

[David Berri @wagesofwins]

So the Pelicans won the draft lottery twice.
Actually drafted a productive player both times.
And still couldn't build a 50-win team with either player.
Once again, it generally takes far more than draft picks to build a winner. This is true no matter who you draft.

Had a truly crazy experience with a hateful troll this week. He tucked around and found out. It’s too good not to share because it turns out he’s an ex-cop who abused his wife! Check out the full story here:

Several people have asked if it really possible for *some* college athletes to be employees but others not. The simple answer is yes based on traditional labor law. @McCannSportsLaw, @Johnsportslaw and I explain this in “The Collegiate Employee-Athlete.” https://t.co/PDqnGZempN
