Can someone explain to me why so many Giants fans are mad at this trade? To me it seems like a smart low-cost/high-reward gamble for an otherwise lost season? What are we mad about? lol

Is the NFL really gonna try and Kaepernick this situation with Al-Shaair? Come on... I mean I'm not surprised but still it's infuriating

That right-wing grift money is too alluring. How long until we get a podcast with her and Kyle Kuzma? 😭😭

I was never really a fan of how Kap handled everything. I always felt like he retreated from the spotlight when his platform was at its strongest. People WANTED to hear from him and follow him but because he began avoiding the media it allowed other people to co-opt/distort his message.

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.

People need to stop treating these ESPN reporters like Shams as anything but mouthpieces for the agents/teams. They're glorified PR, not journalists.

The "manosphere" just seems like a bunch of men hoping that being more and more shitty will force cishet women to lower their standards. They refuse to see it has backfired into the Loneliness Consequence (you don't get a sympathetic name for a condition you caused/refuse to fix.)

This Democrat obsession with Hasan Piker is so weird (and counterproductive). They're more interested in fighting him than fighting the Republicans and that's the problem here. We have ACTUAL Nazis and white supremacists running things and we're focusing on Hasan Piker criticizing Israel? Really?

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

This Lakers story keeps getting weirder and weirder. What a terrible look for Adam Silver and the NBA. These leagues are going to have to learn one day that chasing franchise valuations like this will ultimately ruin their product.

Adam Silver increasingly looks like a man who doesn't care about basketball, fans, or competition - only maximizing profits for the owners regardless of the damage it might do to the product.

Why are people surprised Elon came off like a braindead loser in that interview? Zanny Minton Beddoes is in a WHOLE different intellectual weight class than the Twitter sycophants Elon is used to interacting with. Also, the ketamine (and racism) is eating his brain from the inside...

Continues to be spineless. Him and Schumer have *no idea* what to do about Trump OR Israel. It'd be real nice if we had some Democratic leadership with ANY sense of moral clarity.

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

This might be crazy but I kinda like LeBron on the Knicks if he accepts the "super 6th man/Manu Ginobili" role. Let him conserve his energy in the regular season (he's gonna be 42) and close games when needed. Plus it allows the Knicks to keep the chemistry the starters have discovered.

Real talk, I don't think the Knicks should've tried to match that Mitchell Robinson contract. I know he was an important piece and I know D*lan is a loser, but the man didn't even play 20mpg and is frequently injured. Can't handicap your ability to try and keep the run going....

I know Pistons fans are losing their minds at the thought of replacing Duren with Sabonis but idk, I don't hate the fit. I get that Domas can't defend and is a shaky shooter but when has Duren ever been able to shoot or consistently defend? Cade needs some playmaking/creation help badly
