The Knicks winning a world championship is cool & all but exposing the world to what an unlikable fraud this guy is might be the best part of this. NYC most hated ppl ever & somehow this guy was more hateable. There can’t be anyone left who likes this guy outside of spurs fans??
According to ESPN Analytics, in the 4 games the Spurs lost in the NBA Finals, they had a...
— 91.6% chance of winning Game 1 up 13 points midway thru the 3rd
— 72.8% chance of winning Game 2 up 2 points with 1 minute left in the 4th
— 99.6% chance of winning Game 4 up 20 points with 9:33 left in the 4th
— 95.4% chance of winning Game 5 up 10 points with 7:54 left in the 4th
"IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD! WITH 1.2 REMAINING! KNICKS TAKE THE LEAD... BEDLAM HERE AT THE GARDEN! THEY CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"
"THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN NBA PLAYOFF HISTORY! THE KNICKS PULL OFF A MIRACLE COMEBACK AND LEAD IT 3 GAMES TO 1!"
Mike Breen on the call. 🏀🎙️🔥
So, I’m hearing that “Mandalorian & Grogu” is bad, but is it “randomly fall into a desert sinkhole and discover a dagger that happens to locate another plot device if you’re standing in the perfect spot/distance away from wreckage on another planet” bad?
Notice how these two great scorers never throw their legs in the defenders air space and fall.
What a time.
So refreshing.
I may be in the minority, but I have not been a fan of Silver and what he has enabled in this era.
Why did Massie lose tonight?
Massie went from principled libertarian during COVID, to GOP leadership lapdog under McCarthy, to anti-Trump Epstein obsessive in 2025 after tweeting about that issue a whopping three (3) times in the decade prior. The nail in the coffin for him was voting against OBBB in 2025 because, according to Massie, it did too much to secure the border.
Trump mercilessly trashed Massie in 2020–calling him a “disaster” for America and Kentucky and saying he should be thrown out of the GOP entirely—but Massie easily swatted that away and won 81-19, so you can’t say he only lost because of Trump. He went toe-to-toe with Trump on COVID in 2020 and won overwhelmingly.
Massie lost because he went from being perceived as a quirky but lovable nerd who seemed to genuinely believe everything he said, to looking like a clout-chasing influencer who cared more about getting TV time with Democrats on an issue he clearly never cared about until five minutes ago than he did about representing his voters.
We’ll never know what caused the apparent personality change—maybe it was the death of his wife, maybe it was the McCarthy race followed by McCarthy’s ouster, or maybe it was a desire for notoriety or media acclaim and a lucrative podcasting career outside of Congress—but the drastic change was undeniable, as was the seeming lack of interest in much of anything happening in Kentucky.
Blame Trump, blame Israel, blame Epstein, blame the tragic death of a spouse, I don’t care. But you cannot just wave away 2020 Massie going face-to-face with the Trump machine and winning in a rout only to get smoked six years later.
Massie’s voters didn’t really change all that much, but he did, and they noticed.
I will never get over the fact that Disney chose to name the heroes of the Star Wars sequels "the Resistance", despite the fact that the Rebel Alliance overthrew the Empire decades earlier and re-established the Galactic Republic.
There's a broader lesson in there about how modern writers and artists think about everything. They ALWAYS have to be the brave revolutionaries and are never willing to accept that a day could come when they themselves become the ruling order.
-Mike from RLM made the Plinkett reviews of the prequels
-Made George sell Star Wars
-Disney buys Star Wars and starts the woke era
-The woke era brings Trump
-Trump starts a war with Iran and causes gas to Skyrocket

The LA Kings won the Stanley Cup in 2014, capping an incredible run of two titles and three conference finals appearances in three years (2012-2014). Over the next 12 years, the LA Kings have not won a single playoff series. Something has to change.
