The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.

My dumb idea of the day:

We should establish something like birthstones, but for men.

Instead of each month getting a gemstone, each month gets assigned a cut of meat.

January: New York Strip
February: Filet Mignon
March: Porterhouse

And so on.

You’d ask a guy his birthday and instead of saying, “Oh, you’re an amethyst,” you’d say, “Ah, February. Filet Mignon. Sensitive, expensive, and a little smaller than expected.”

I can hear the commercials already

“Celebrate his birth month with the timeless elegance of brisket.”

@Dubs408 Proud of this non-Wilt 80 win season

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@AndrewDBailey This is the best I've personally seen without involving Wilt...

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@saltcitysportut D-Will
Pistol Pete
Ingles
Boozer
Okur

Zero defense will be played outside of Ingles, but what a fun team haha

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

This is fun!

I just went 77-5, think you can go 82-0?

@CJRealHoops2 It'll probably get more interesting once the games start 😉

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

Ah yes. Sandy. A suburb of Missoula, ID.

This map shows where the 48 teams partaking in the FIFA World Cup 2026 will be based. 🇲🇽🇺🇸🇨🇦

Pretty sure that Argentina, England, and the Netherlands have an unfair advantage by being based in Kansas: heaps fewer distractions than elsewhere 😉

Oh you don’t say…

[Jeff Fuller @jjfuller72]

Two key quotes from that Harmon article 3 yrs ago in screenshots show Mandel and Williams showing that BYU would have brought up the value of the Pac-12 pre-breakup, and that BYU brought up the AAV in the Big12 media deal by ~$4M per member

@jlinehan9 @PolymarketSport Some guy has never heard of a money market account, let alone the stock market.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

Is there an athlete more universally loved than Ken Griffey Jr.? He's like an entire generation's favorite baseball player and he remains beloved to this day.

@CenterStMedia @CougarStats @CollegeSportsCo The way Detmer just casually flung the ball 40 yards on a rollout to a receiver in stride 👀

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@BjorkBrodern I took this last weekend

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@FaithLikeAbish2 Ours was pretty milquetoast. Most of the comments were "political involvement is good" and "support moral leaders." All good messages, but didn't necessarily move me significantly.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

Last thing I'll say about SGA this season. This take is absolutely right. He's good enough to just go play straight up and dominate. If he just stopped with the foul baiting I'd respect him 100000000x more. He was cooking in the 3rd quarter!

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Shai Gilgeous Alexander mid-range game is the closest thing we have to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, but yal not ready for that conversation.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

No attempt to play the ball. Grabs and pulls down the arm, also grabs around the midsection.

But it's a common foul because reasons.

[BrickCenter @BrickCenter_]

Alex Caruso DIRTY foul 😳

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@WCCSG_ 21 I think. But there are a few I don't remember specifics but think is likely.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@CoachDanCasey We used to be a proper country

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@txlobo95 @RyBen3 A couple of times a year I think about that hair pulling rampage from women's soccer from the MWC days
