This is legitimately the toughest tweet I’ve had to send in a while..
When I first started at The Ringer in 2020, I knew I’d found home. The space to create, the utilization of my interests and skills, the bonds, the friends, all of it was perfect.
From shows with Jemele Hill, to getting paired with Rachel, to forming a lifelong friendship with the Midnight Boys, it’s been perfect.
That’s why it really hurts to announce what I have to right now…
The Ringer is hating on Austin Reaves.
Reaves went crazy again tonight, busting ass like his name was Darius Johnson Jr, and I bet we won’t hear a peep from @BillSimmons, @ZachLowe_NBA, @RobMahoney, @jkylemann or any of my other @ringernba peeps.
If he played for the Celtics, we’d get an entire treatise about how he has the killer instinct of Whitey Bulger, the handles of Cousy, and looks like a true American from Brookline, MA.
But because he’s a Laker, he’s treated like “Sinners” on an Outkick top 20 films of 2025 list … not mentioned.
I hope in the coming year my beloved company learns to appreciate Basketball of all colors … including Purple & Gold.
Tonight Reaves scored 44. I beg of you guys to remember that man that wore 42, and what discrimination has do to a society.
Do better.

@NateSilver538 He wasn’t a scammer. He left the company not long after the deal was signed. The company had a board of directors. The chairman was the scammer who also paid the other scammer 12m and put him on the board too.
You know how the board runs companies ?
I know why the Mavericks traded Doncic. They received some godfather offer they couldn’t refuse from Adam Silver because this is Adam Silver’s plan to save the NBA: get a young super(duper)star to the Lakers.
Trump announces he will close the federal Department of Education.
He will send it all back to the states and allow local states and counties and cities decide their education policy.
This is how I felt at G5 of the 2018 WS against Boston. Random dude Steve Pearce hit a 2R HR against Kersh in the top of the 1st. Totally took the momentum out of the crowd.
Feels good to be on the other side of that
Freddie Freeman isn't supposed to be playing right now with his ankle.
Instead, he's hit home runs in all three World Series games, including a walk-off grand slam.
Freeman isn't only motivating his teammates — he's making a run for World Series MVP.
