Howard’s column could serve as a warning to the NBA.
My favorite team ever is UNC hoops and I hardly follow them anymore.
The “perpetual change with no room for affection, loyalty, or sentimentality” the NCAA rules allowed for left me wondering why I should invest emotionally in the Tar Heels.🤷♂️

Parity is wonderful. But it's come at a cost, creating a league of perpetual change, with no room for affection, loyalty, or sentimentality.

Dynasties are dead. Loyalty is a luxury. And parity is king. But is all this change really good for basketball?

Three days: sanctioning the international criminal court, announcing that the firing-squad execution of NH will be live-streamed, investigating the WH press on bogus antitrust charges, searching IO’s home on transparently pretextual immigration charges, financing Putin, jettisoning Zelensky.

The Sunday Duck Report: Oregon's timeline is off
After another embarrassing loss, the Ducks are running out of answers in a season built around championship aspirations. And it’s fair to wonder what more their 88-year-old benefactor can do.

Let's just say I am not going to write any jokes about people making jokes about Ukraine doing Russia a favor by blowing up their data centers cause I don't want to work hard enough to think of any.

Hurm.
Really if Ukraine decides to switch targets, data centers are great. Russia’s capacity to replace the parts inside given the global market is pretty limited
I guess Yud owes them a gift basket or something. Think of all the GPUs destroyed

So we are warring with Iran
And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran.
And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel.
Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which...
Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

Sabrina Ionescu said she was confused in the moment on Wednesday about what the Liberty’s reset timeout situation was.
“I heard someone say yes. I heard someone say no. It should have been me who honestly stopped the game and was like, ‘What's the answer?’ I'm taking the blame for that as well.”

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.
