Here’s the video of the exchange between @FriedgeHNIC and John Tortorella about the end of Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night.

As a fan of the NHL and NBA, this was incredible 🤣

Amazing question by @FriedgeHNIC.

Only right answer for jerseys

@TJOshie77 @kuklaskorner Man, I could not agree more. Downright weird to me. And def not a Newhook thing, just a general thing ✅

[Michael Warburton @For_Film_Fans]

Regarded by many as one of the best written, best acted scenes in Sitcom history.

PHILIP BAKER HALL delivers an all-time performance as ‘Lt. Bookman’ —The Library Cop, a role that changed this hugely talented Actor’s life & career forever.

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime.

The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood.

The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old.

The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose.

And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled.

The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around.

Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

[The Players’ Tribune @PlayersTribune]

Hey guys, it’s Ernie. Before the season starts, I had some thoughts for @BlueJays fans I wanted to share. Thanks for reading https://t.co/aDajNK1kJL

[TheLeafsNation @TLNdc]

.@Jay_D_Rosehill was disgusted by the Leafs’ lack of immediate response after Radko Gudas went knee-on-knee with Auston Matthews.

"They have to go in the dressing room & a 60-year-old man has to fucking tell them what they're supposed to do.."

[Justin Bourne @jtbourne]

@_NickRichard The red-hot Scott Laughton could be available! Just what they need, a rugged two-way center, character guy, could really put this team over the top.

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@nanda_r1203 @_NickRichard If Chief stays, nothing else matters…

[Nick Richard @_NickRichard]

Still holding out hope that the Leafs decide Laughton is the kind of guy they should keep around and that we get a last minute contract extension.

Trade pretty much anyone else outside of Matthews, Nylander, Knies, Cowan, and obviously Tavares.

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

#Hockey is missing a huge opportunity. Every 2 years in early Sept, best-of-5 series: Canada vs USA and Sweden vs Finland. WAY better format than a World Cup. REAL Series between REAL rivals instead of one-game elimination. COME ON @NHL @Sportsnet @CBCOlympics @HockeyCanada

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@thegoldenmuzzy I think Mott’s Clamato missed a HUGE opportunity not having a Caesar campaign for all these morning games…GOLD Team Canada Cans, with a slogan like “when mornings matter”. Could even roll that into Masters Golf coverage and then summer golf trips etc…

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@stoolpresidente You’re talking about Abbey Murphy dives right????? Right?????

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@Sportsnet @CBC why ARE YOU SHOWING THE SAME EVENTS ON EVERY CHANNEL???? A little variety please!!!! 🙏

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@Mainely_Leafs Trade Roy….he’s got a Cup so return should be higher. I’d also rather keep Laughton as a 3C PK1. Prototypical “Glue Guy” which Leafs desperately lack. Kind of guy that will drag the boys into the fight. I’d give him a letter too…type of guy that makes the TEAM better.

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@nylanderthews I’d trade Roy and slide Laughts to 3C. Likely similar return but I think Laughton better addresses the CULTURE change needed in Toronto for next season, while you could sell Roy to a contender at the deadline since he has a Cup. Might even get MORE for Roy because of the Cup

[Allan Miller @Miller1981]

@simonleafs People aren’t suggesting you can’t win with him as your BEST PLAYER. That’s not the same as saying you can’t win with him as the team CAPTAIN. Kucherov has multiple Cups, Bolts best player but NEVER asked to be their Captain or Leader.

[Nick Alberga @thegoldenmuzzy]

Hate that Joe Bowen's going out this way

Damn shame
