"I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We're going to kill them, you know. They're going to be like dead."

"Toronto Rangers" !!!
That being said, this is NOT the type of content @nba.com officials and their broadcast partners want to be discussing during the opening week of the regular season.

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation
Oh, I hear you on that.
You can say the same about the concept of two players fighting during an NHL game.
That happens very rarely in NFL and NBA and MLB games.
Reminds me of Mario Lemieux's infamous quote from the early 1990s calling the National Hockey League a "garage league."
It's not just hockey analysts.
Everyone loves the guy Kevin... except fans of the teams he is playing against.
Recent quote from Lindy Ruff courtesy of @buffalonews.com :

“Seriously, I love the guy,” Ruff said. “If you could have him on your team, you’d want him on your team.”
Since 1985 there have been four times in which one @mlb.com World Series team swept their LCS series while the other team went seven games:

1988: OAK swept BOS/LA beat NYM in 7

2006: DET swept OAK/STL beat NYM in 7

2007: COL swept ARI / BOS beat CLE in 7

2012: DET swept NYY / SF beat STL in 7
This represents the embodiment of a journalist.

In addition to graduating from law school, Lindsey Halligan has a degree in broadcast journalism.
She must have missed class the day the "off the record" lesson was taught.
Trump's handpicked U.S. attorney targeting James Comey and Letitia James texted with reporter Anna Bower for more than a day — alluding to sensitive grand jury matters in the process — and never said the conversation was off the record. tinyurl.com/4uptcupk

@btpmnpr.bsky.social has her doing election/political research reporting that is lacking at some other media outlets based in Western New York.
