@EricCrossMLB I know you're also especially high on Celesten, if you had to pick one who is it?

Genuinely the best video to ever exist man, actually never gets old, I’m in stitches every time

@arielhelwani Not initially, but if its happening it won't be hard to talk myself into if BI, Gradey, and a future 1st is the approx cost. He's a bigger win-now move than either Bron or AD, and could help lure a quality rotation player with the mid in FA. Kawhi/Scottie isn't a tough sell.

@MBFantasyLife 🙄maybe start with 700 first. Easy fade.

@InternetH0F Let's hope security plays D like Brunson.

[Barron Brown @barronbrown]

@EricCrossMLB To be fair about a month and change into last season Jace Laviolette looked like a lock at the top of the draft as well, until he took a nose dive. And the CHW aren't exactly known for sound decisions. No.1 probably isn't a lock, even if it should be.

@flasportsbuzz Austin Jackson has become the forgotten man to media, but at 26yo I don't think a talent poor team can remove him from their long-term plan. OL should be a priority in general, but focusing specifically on a guy who can play RT, especially at 11 is probably misuse of a high pick

I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.
I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.
If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.
If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.
If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.
It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.
Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”
And that’s the part that should chill us.
Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?
Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.
Now the mask is off. Now we know.
And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.

I want to thank everyone for all the support we’re receiving. There really is an incredible amount of it.

For me, the sacrifice of the people depicted on the helmet means more than any medal ever could - because they gave the most precious thing they had.
And simple respect toward them is exactly what I want to give.

The IOC is a complete joke!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Sport shouldn’t mean amnesia, and the Olympic movement should help stop wars, not play into the hands of aggressors. Unfortunately, the decision of the International Olympic Committee to disqualify Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych says otherwise. This is certainly not about the principles of Olympism, which are founded on fairness and the support of peace.

I thank our athlete for his clear stance. His helmet, bearing the portraits of fallen Ukrainian athletes, is about honour and remembrance. It is a reminder to the whole world of what Russian aggression is and the cost of fighting for independence. And in this, no rule has been broken.

It is Russia that constantly violates Olympic principles, using the period of the Olympic Games to wage war. In 2008, it was the war against Georgia; in 2014 – the occupation of Crimea; in 2022 – the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And now, in 2026, despite repeated calls for a ceasefire during the Winter Olympics, Russia shows complete disregard, increasing missile and drone strikes on our energy infrastructure and our people.

660 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have been killed by Russia since the full-scale invasion began. Hundreds of our athletes will never again be able to take part in the Olympic Games or any other international competitions. And yet, 13 Russians are currently in Italy competing at the Olympics. They compete under “neutral” flags at the Games, while in real life publicly supporting Russian aggression against Ukraine and the occupation of our territories. And they are the ones who deserve disqualification.

We are proud of Vladyslav and of what he did. Having courage is worth more than any medal.

@Adamking91 With a healthy Okongwu, could we see some 2C lineups, or where will his minutes settle? Decide whether to use a waiver on him, deeper league.

[Barron Brown @barronbrown]

@hoopshype That bench SUCKS. Hopefully Tatum can handle 40+ mins on a bum Achilles. Or in other words, no they're not.

If you didn’t follow the news this weekend, Trump was accused of molesting a 13yo, went his wife’s movie with 1 of 10 stars, closed the Trump Kennedy Center since no one will come, said his goal is drive home prices UP, and possibly pooped his pants on live TV.

@SamMonsonNFL They'd revoke his vote, but I wish just one of these guys would say "He was a smug prick, and he got caught for cheating to boot. Fuck him!" And he still gets in next year, who cares.

@NFLRT He don't know ball.

@_kymei @schadjoe Marlins had a revenue of over 300mil in '25, but a payroll of 67mil. The Jays for example had the 5th highest payroll in '25, but 2nd highest Operating loss. Some teams are just putting their money back into their team, and the Marlins arent. That's a MIA problem, not a cap issue
