Ladies and gentlemen, you are in the presence of the smug grin of a man who until 2032 is officially off, the, hook. Welcome Tyson!
That was deeply, deeply shit from Arsenal. There should be far too much leadership in this team for timorousness like that to rule the day.
All that build-up, brief flashes of optimism, disappointing finish. To be fair, I've had many Saturdays like that.
It's kinda fun listening to the announcing team struggling to balance the professional requirement to praise this thing with their innate desire to rip on it.
The single best change that can be made to All-Star Weekend is to stop putting the Dunk Contest on last. It's not the showpiece any more and is far too hit-and-miss to be your closer.
On a 7 foot rim, give them a chance
Congratulations to Jaxson Hayes for doing the first dunk in contest history that I reckon even I could do.
"3, 2, 1, G-oh you've finished."
That guy's legs are about three miles long, I wonder if that helps with luge
I'm waiting until it drops to $15, then I too will have enough and can turn this whole franchise around.
"Defense wins championships" yeah maybe but it's also really boring
I lost a burrito the other day that I was in the middle of actively eating. It's been four days & I haven't found it. I don't even really want it at this point, but I'd like to know what happened to it, where I absent-mindedly left it, etc. Any technology that can help with this is most appreciated.
The real winner of the Super Bowl will of course be the well-trimmed ginger moustache, which is having its best season since 1978.
SUPERBOWL UPDATE: They're just all sort of falling over a lot then cutting to an advert for something.
They stopped for a song at one point which perked things up a bit but now there's just lots of whistle-blowing and walking around.
Apparently the idea that several cultures could come together in American successfully confused BlueSky's automated filter enough that it thinks you're speaking Japanese.
It can't be THAT hard to move a ball up ten yards, can it?
Wouldn't be against replacing all the music and dancing and whatnot with someone doing ten tight minutes of observational comedy tbh

ALF TIME SCORE:
Seattle Seahawks: 9
New England Patriots: 0
Puerto Rican women: 10/10
Turns out I was thinking of Bhad Bhabie.
Watching my one NFL game of the season and wondering it if is always this boring.
Kind of amazing how the Mavericks were able to get more for Anthony Davis than for Luka.
At last, we can all stop talking about Jonathan Kuminga.
I don't think the other races know quite how tough it is being white. We can't get all the C-Suite level jobs that we want, they'll never understand how that feels.
Five years ago on Friday, the Lakers gave away Ivica Zubac for a three-month rental of Mike Muscala #neverforget
No, really, that was it. All of it.
Shout-out to everyone who remembers the 2007 Trade Deadline in which Fred Jones was traded straight up for Juan Dixon and that was literally it.
Vanja Marinkovic is a decent but not elite shooting specialist currently averaging 7.0 points per game in the EuroLeague at age 29. You won't be hearing of him again.
Having acquired both Trae Young and Anthony Davis, the Washington Wizards are the biggest winners at the 2019 Trade Deadline.
