Would love to be wrong, but this feels like one of those seasons that’s never going to quite get off the ground.

Forced @derekschultz.bsky.social to join me and yap about the Pacers offseason. We got into Turner's departure before looking at the additions the Pacers have made. Plus, rants about insane tweets and bad uses of stats. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/6esM... Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdeo...

There was an incredibly distressing video after the Thunder won the championship where it became clear that none of the Zoomers on the team knew how to open a bottle of champagne, (and had to ask a guy in his 30s for help.) Very distressing, needed to write about the Partying Gap in our generations.

When I talked to Pacers players Saturday night about when they realized they could be this good, one of them thought back to 2022. Another 2023, and a 3rd mentioned last year. On a run years in the making, and how the Pacers balanced celebration and focus: www.forbes.com/sites/tonyea...

The Pacers didn't just beat a 64-win team, they stomped them. No 64-win team had been eliminated before the Conference Finals in a series shorter than 6 games before. Now, the Pacers are thinking way bigger: www.forbes.com/sites/tonyea...

I had admittedly not prepared myself for the “giving up 45 points to the 2024 New York Giants in a season-ending loss” scenario.

Been the case for most years in their decade-long AFC South drought - the top team struggles to win 10ish games and the bottom two teams are among the worst in the entire league. It’s been the worst division in football in that span by far.

Jonathan Taylor kept repeating the same phrase after the game. That just can't happen. "It just can’t happen. No matter the game, no matter the scenario. You can be up by 50, down by 50, playoff game, first game of the season, that should never happen.” www.indystar.com/story/sports...

My favorite John Candy story, from character actor Troy Evans.

Evans: It was the night of the Oscars. And the phone rings, I’m sitting in my underwear in my room, eating room service and watching the TV. And the phone rings. “Is this Troy?” I said, “Yeah.” “Troy, this is John Candy. I’m having a few folks up to watch the Oscars, and wondered if you’d like to join us.” I was so excited. You know, John Hughes will be there. The producers will be there. And maybe I’ll meet Steve Martin. I didn’t have any dress clothes, but I cleaned up as best as I could, and went up to John Candy’s room. He was in the same hotel,

He was in the same hotel, you know. And John Hughes wasn’t there. The producers weren’t there. And Steve Martin wasn’t there. Who was there was everybody who was like me on the movie. He went through all the down-the-ladder actors and invited them all up to his suite. Isn’t that wonderful? And then he got like, a thousand dollars’ worth of room service. He got like 20 pizzas, and just the food just kept coming all evening.

And so as I was leaving, I tried to slip him $200 to help with the food. And I’ll remember this on my deathbed. John Candy said, “Troy, that’s been taken care of.”
