Fuck being rational

A lot of people won’t.

They’ll just buy the whatever subscription service—Game Pass, etc.—for $100 and play those new games in a couple years when they get thrown on there.

The corpos always win…

Night 3 of the NBA opens with Ernie Johnson cutting to a Kash Patel news conference clip followed by 5 minutes from Shams about gambling scandals, then 6 more minutes on the subject by Barkley and crew.

19 minutes in they get to basketball matters.

Oof.

I’d call Cuomo an inept comic book villain except he’s so poorly written that I don’t want to insult an entire genre.

Late on this but Wemby with an insane reverse on the baseline!

I made a noise. Like a…squeal?

Sure. Something like that.

Look, I can’t say this doesn’t make me wonder if MLK ever hooped…

Payton Pritchard twice in a row in the clutch is a…choice.

I don’t trust him with a buzzer beater unless he’s shooting from the other side of halfcourt.

Myles Turner ACTUALLY being in a different jersey is a head trip.

Definitely need to put a series of these along the East Coast if you’re trying to expedite the clear out of Blue Sky.

…and multi view only has 3 boxes instead of 4. And you can’t add ESPN you need to switch apps or to your cable box.

2025 sucks. Even the little things suck ass.

With Nixon being so close to that time I bet it helped heal the nation a little bit.

Whereas now we have SUPER NIXON in the White House DURING the quarter millennia celebration.

Go to sign up for NBA League Pass on YouTubeTV and….

Welp. Goodbye DVR and multiview with any other sports games or even the National NBA game.

A lot of those were probably “picked” with a staple embedded in the head of an ink pen

meaning they were done in prison.

Mike Tirico is simply phenomenal. He is always comfortable in the booth, smooth, tells you only what you need to hear.

I know he has some sketchy history but hopefully that’s behind him.

Because he is one talented motherfucker. Anyone who’s ever so much as tried to host a college radio show knows

Hahaha I love your Philly Fandom.

I wish only the best for my favorite physicist, a man who has encouraged me to pursue physics even though I can’t do algebra lmao.

Fuck everybody I will watch Michael Jordan talk about basketball until I die.

Feel like there was a giant hole in the commentary. This legend out there doing…NASCAR?

We NEED you Mike.

Thank you.

I totally missed this and a decade later on Netflix I was like “what is this Matrix ripoff bullsh…wait it has Batman?”

I’m still like “no way this is good” then that motherfucker went like sliding across a hallway on his knees shredding everyone with two pistols and I’m like

I’M IN, BITCHES

Absolutely not.

If you were of a certain age in the ‘90s this triggers some of your best memories.

Memories of friends taking advantage of halftime to play a little 2 on 2. That type of thing.

Memories of Sunday Tripleheaders on NBC and me now wondering if I’m as obsessed without that access.

The “low fat” thing is so hilarious in retrospect.

Lotta “low fat” offerings available in foods that also contain like 60 grams of sugar lol.

I wonder how often James Harden wants to go back in time, grow The Beard, and re-take this shit lmao
