Overconfident in my mediocrity.

Another contract I would want no part of.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Reaves declined his $14.9M player option for the new max deal.

Giannis and Bam is just an atrocious fit.

[Benjie @sethamin]

A lot of weird groups of people on the internet, but one specific group that is getting noticeably louder is "person whose personality is strongly hating a country they have never been to".

[Benjie @sethamin]

I wasn't sure I'd ever see the same level of cope Canadians displayed when the US beat them in hockey at the Olympics, but apparently Brady Tkachuk asking for a trade out of Canada is nearly as offensive.

[Benjie @sethamin]

It's pretty difficult to *not* do well in America. That's why the vast majority of people complaining aren't doing so because they aren't well enough off - they just want something they haven't earned!

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

European football fans visiting America are discovering the mass affluence of the country’s suburbs. The wealth enticing holidaymakers troubles European elites. America, once a peer, seems to be racing ahead https://t.co/L3lw48WEwo

Ron Harper being disgusted his son is being compared in talent to James Harden is a level of competitiveness that I simply have never reached.

[Protestia @Protestia]

Looks JD Hall, Tucker Carlson and Joel Webbon had a sit down today.

[Benjie @sethamin]

In this economy?

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: Trae Young intends to sign a four-year, approximately $212 million deal to stay with the Washington Wizards, with a player option in Year 4, sources tell ESPN. The four-time NBA All-Star declined his $49M player option for a long-term commitment ahead of free agency.

I'm puzzled how anyone can read anything about any portion of earth's history and come away believing a single word she says.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Clara Mattei brilliantly debunks a century of capitalist propaganda by explaining how capitalism is unnatural, has existed for only 0.1% of human history, took control of the world through violence, and is maintained by coercion and the superficial facade of liberal democracy.

[Benjie @sethamin]

Prefer paying Florida income taxes to Canadian income taxes? Weak athlete!

[Benjie @sethamin]

I'm pretty sure "toughest athlete" only refers to the athletic portion of their life and not their life preferences outside of the sport.

But what do I know? I'm not a bitter Canadian.

[John Cullen @cullenthecomic]

Hockey players are the toughest athletes!**

** - who only want to play with their widdle fwends in markets where they can swim in a pool any day of the year, not pay income tax, not be recognized in public, and never have the media talk to them

Please tell me this means he will no longer be an NBA analyst

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins – 14-year NBA veteran and 2008 champion – has agreed to become the men's basketball General Manager of HBCU Jackson State, as well as a connection to its broadcast and journalism program, per Perkins: "I'm thankful for this opportunity to impact young lives and pour back into my community."

12oz thermos is crazy to me. Why even bother.

[Benjie @sethamin]

I know this is a gigantic embarrassment, but could we get some of this journalistic dedication in some areas that actually matter?

[Joe Flood @joeflood]

Lots of media on the Reflecting Pool beat, including what is that?

[Benjie @sethamin]

Sometimes racial profiling can be funny.

[Kimberley A. Martin @ByKimberleyA]

Cops mistook Tyler Kolek for a fan 😩 #alwaysknicks

[Benjie @sethamin]

Imagine going back to the 40s and telling people that one day the British will be mad a German doesn't hate the Jews.

[PaulBettany22 @QuantK22]

Never forget who this guy really is 👍

[Benjie @sethamin]

As an actual pool expert, this is very amusing.

[Acyn @Acyn]

CNN: CNN independently took the sample of water and consulted with the pool store that regularly tests water to help read the results. It showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended to keep algae at bay, based on estimates for a pool that holds 6.5 million gallons of water.

“If there's already some phosphate fertilizer in the water, that's really opportunistic, especially for the blue green algae that can fix nitrogen. So they are having a field day out here.”

[Benjie @sethamin]

Should have given them the little teddy bear like the Olympics gave team Canada.

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

The Golden Knights after losing the Stanley Cup Final.

[Benjie @sethamin]

Really not sure I've ever seen the level of cope Thunder fans have had after losing to the Spurs.

Spurs just lost a tragic 5 game series in which they choked big leads in all 4 losses, and I'm not feeling half the pain they are.

[Todd Miller @PlayByPlayGuy1]

It’s really sad it took the large market Knicks to validate what Thunder fans were saying about Wemby and the Spurs..It wasn’t sour grapes coming from the fans of a team on the prairie, it was the truth that the Frenchman isn’t what everyone thinks/wants him to be

[Benjie @sethamin]

Canes doing their best to ease the pain.
