it is taking soooo much willpower to not respond to every even slightly incorrect post about western mass with “WRONG!” but just know that, if you have posted something incorrect about western mass this week, i have thought about correcting you

It really stings to lose James as a teammate. He’s got a great sense for how to write a really good story and always chases the good work. If anyone is in a hiring position, consider this a hearty endorsement. He’ll make your shop a lot better.

Today’s my last day at CBS Sports. They’re not renewing my contract. Sorry, LeBron—there’s another James hitting free agency. Eternally thankful for 12+ years, and for the chance to write about everybody from Dirk and Giannis to Alvarado and Konchar. Not sure what’s next just yet. Email’s in bio.

This weekend DoorDash tweeted about the World Cup but repeatedly tagged T-Pain, as if they were mixing him up with NZ soccer player Tim Payne. T-Pain got in on it too, acting confused. Turns out it was all a "partnership." No ad disclosure on any of the posts. www.theverge.com/news/954145/...
T-Pain on X: "Are you all okay??? @DoorDash stop tagging me in these soccer posts."
T-Pain: "I liiterally don't play soccer" quoting DoorDash saying "@TPain you gave everything out there tonight. we saw it."
T-Pain: The intern is gonna shit a brick when they realize. Quoting DoorDash saying "This is when the true goats show up @tpain the game is in your hands!"

Incredible read on Jose Alvarado from @jamesherbert.bsky.social: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kni...
One of Pannone's mentors, the coach/skills trainer/analyst David Thorpe, had taught him that when smaller players are successful, it means they've figured something out that others haven't. That Alvarado had earned such an award at his height, then, suggested he was special. 

Later, Alvarado worked out for the Pelicans, which gave the team a chance to sit down with him. Often, since prospects are coached for these sessions, they are not particularly revealing. Alvarado's, however, made New Orleans' management fall in love with him. The highlight was when, during an exercise with the team's mental performance coach, he was asked, "What's your spirit animal?"

Alvarado stood up from his chair. He beat his chest, let out a scream and said, "Gorilla."

Oh. @leahnylen.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc.
executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is
"robbing them blind" and that "these people are so stupid" that "I almost feel bad taking advantage of them."
In a series of chats from 2022, Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold, two regional directors of ticketing for Live Nation amphitheaters, boasted about their ability to raise so-called "ancillary fees" - like parking, lawn chair rentals and VIP access - and still get concertgoers to pay for them. In one exchange, Weinhold gloated about raising VIP parking costs at a Virginia concert venue to $250.
"These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," Baker wrote, adding later, "I gouge them on ancil prices."
