Wasn't as bad as trading Moses Malone before the season even started
@dwightjaynes this is still a gut punch to me every time I see it… although I’m not sure we could have signed Bird the next year if we had drafted him at #7

Bird wouldn't have signed. Told everybody that. Knew what he was doing

Some of the best lyrics ever put into a song.
Brilliant writing, incredible musicianship, and a song that still sounds as cool as ever.

That's what Fred Kerber said, too. The only thing he misses in retirement are points and miles. Thanks, Godfather.

For decades, TriMet kept expanding light rail—even as voters repeatedly rejected transit ballot measures.
Four decades later, the anniversary celebrations may tout the miles of track and trains added. But the real question is: What have taxpayers and riders actually received in return?

Democrat politicians dismissing the trans-in-sports issue isn't just about opposing Republicans — it's a betrayal of their own voters. foxnews.com/outkick-sports/d…

Earlier in the season, Brewer manager Pat Murphy pulled rookie Cooper Pratt for not fully running out a hit.
Tonight, Murph pulled veteran William Contreras for not running out a ball to first.

100%. And sports franchises should at least give fans the option of paying a little extra for them. @nealkhosla @vkhosla let's make this happen!! I'll pay! Gladly!

Ducks-USC. I do not gamble. But I've been asked about this game a lot and my only response is that I have seen this movie before. Dan Lanning has a long-term lease inside Lincoln Riley's noggin.

JJ Barea needs a documentary 💯💯
From locking down LeBron that entire 2011 finals to Dwyane Wade calling him the most important player on that 2011 series, Netflix needs to reach out and make it happen.

That a dunk is a dunk. Rating them is a waste of time. And I think a long three is more beautiful.
