Per @SethWickersham: When Bill Belichick and the Patriots divorced in 2024, Sean Payton considered presenting Broncos owner Greg Penner a proposal for the ages: Hire Belichick as head coach until he reached 15 wins, enough to break Don Shula's career record of 347. Payton would temporarily step down to assistant head coach and run the offense, then move back after Belichick became the all-time leader. In the end, it was too complicated -- and maybe too fanciful.
@ThunderFilmRoom Not enough aggression displayed in Games 1 and 2 for me to think they’re surviving the opening burst from the Spurs. Can almost guarantee Chet and IHart are going to be in foul trouble.
people acting like they’re done with Star Wars like they won’t freak out when a single X shows up in Star Wars font and they slowly zoom out on it with the Star Wars music playing. I know what you people are
It might start when the Knicks-Spurs Finals starts. Wemby’s basically Goliath, but that’s too obvious to say. So instead, we’ll get articles from all the people at the Ringer that are too boring to have a podcast about how the Spurs are bad for ratings.
Wemby probably isn’t going to deserve the amount of hate he’s going to get in a couple years from now but boy is it coming. People are going to eventually get used to seeing him and then once the novelty wears off for them, they’ll find any little thing to criticize.
The Spurs are going to be so dominant that 29 (or I guess 31) other fan bases will declare them bad for the league and then that outcry will incentivize 29 other Locked On podcasts to whine, complain, and debase themselves with made up narratives.
