@TommyBeer The clash of team building styles! Which style will prevail.

If I had to summarize the biggest difference between the America of today vs that of my childhood, it's that the country now feels like a perpetual array of fraud, grift, transactional scheming. Everyone is out to get a piece of the pie, no sense of a national story or vision.

@BenVerlander Wondering if there are more dual threat players coming up. 🤔

The development of MMA since UFC 1 is a good analogy for America to draw upon.

[Soda @fredsoda]

the obsession with “agency” is the overattribution of America’s success to individualism versus the collective efforts of society

the reality is that you need both: talented individuals and healthy societies that can produce and sustain them

There are two basketball fan bases in celebration mode in New York City now.
The Knicks and, after late Wednesday night, St. John’s has joined them.
The late-night addition of Baylor transfer Tounde Yessoufou is that big of an addition.
