@JamesSurowiecki If this is the team, why are we in a Game 7 and why is it tied? Who does the other team even have?!?!

.@Joshstrangehill I turn 40 next month and when we met I made a joke and you laughed. See below. Please find the tapes. It can be my birthday and Flag Day gift. I will kill spiders for you.

Me looking for the Hank Scorpio tape in my garage

90% sure the tape exists, 30% chance it's in a old box in my spider-filled garage. I'm not exaggerating - a few years ago, there were black widows there. So I gotta gear up & go in!

@ReallyDanWeiner I think All-Star worthy talent like him and @McclungMac should get more incentive/bonus since they’re working to make an exhibition event more exciting for the league.

[Sidd Sinha @SiddSinha]

@heitner @GoodmanHoops 50% would be rather high. 30% is about average for most legal contingency cases. 15% is probably a test number since this is new territory. Higher than agent % but low by legal standards. Just because someone profits doesn’t mean it’s a nefarious cause.

Dennis Rodman was 1st team all defense in 1989 playing 26.9 mpg and coming off the bench for 74 games.

[Sidd Sinha @SiddSinha]

Michael Cooper played 27.5 min/gm in 86-87 and came off the bench for 80 games while winning DPOY.

Penn State and an unaffiliated sports apparel company face a jury next week in a trademark case that's already sent a shot across the bow of the sports merchandise licensing industry. https://t.co/DhiFw3RTp9

Now, the trivia company is claiming there was never permission in the first place to use the game. In fact, the trivia company is suing MSU for copyright infringement (and other related causes of action).

Expect a private settlement.

Last year Sparty (MSU) took on Big Blue (UMich) and a pregame trivia question featured Hitler on the scoreboard. After the public backlash, the school(s) blamed the trivia company.

The NBA also filed to trademark this logo. I thought it was a W at first, but now I realize it's a stylized hoop and net, so likely a new secondary Nets logo.

[Sidd Sinha @SiddSinha]

The first battle of this lawsuit is going to be whether this needs to be in a public forum or behind closed doors in arbitration or mediation. NBA will push for the latter.

BREAKING: TBS and Warner Brothers Discovery have just filed a lawsuit against the NBA in New York County Supreme Court over the league’s rejection of WBD’s attempted match of the Amazon media rights bid (h/t @ls87NY)

... it is now believed the GW1516 could dissolve over time and become untraceable. Asinga will need to establish his claims to have any real shot at getting back into Olympic contention and/or participate for Texas A&M's track and field team.

Sprinter Issam Asinga is banned from the Olympics and may lose his scholarship to Texas A&M due to an alleged banned substance her consumed from Gatorade.

[Sidd Sinha @SiddSinha]

Asinga claims he failed a drug test because "GW1516" was found in his system. Some reports are claiming he, as well as Gatorade, sent samples of the alleged Gatorade product for further testing and those came back negative. BUT ...

I'm not as certain as others TNT matching necessarily means it will battle the NBA in court. For one, the NBA could accept the match. Even if the NBA rejects it, arbitration language might preempt litigation. Both have reasons to avoid litigation, too: https://t.co/Dtr6BrHkwe.

[Sidd Sinha @SiddSinha]

Tristan Thompson gets a W in the courtroom.

Parties likely settled, but this is filed as dismissal against Thompson, with prejudice, so they can't refile.
The case was related to promotional obligations Thompson had for a furniture brand.

AI & NIL are 2 rapidly evolving areas & the USPTO is hosting an online talk on 08/05 to discuss whether current laws protect individual rights when it comes to AI-created content.

This will impact athletes/actors/musicians/influencers or anyone with a public following.
