I have tons of sympathy and empathy for the story and struggles of Michael Sweetney. But God I wish we had all had more sympathy and empathy back then. Rest in peace big man.

Shout out to Donyell Marshall Jr for looking exactly like his dad.

List of people to have recognised me in life now reads this: a) Guy in the queue for KFC at the southbound M1 Woodall services about 14 years ago b) Kosta Koufos (don't ask, I don't know) c) Rob Dover

Also shoutout to @markdeeks.bsky.social and his soothing, authoritative vibe - love that! Hope you're all still in it Mark! 😌

Having won over the hearts and minds of the British public - or the complete opposite of that, it's hard to tell - we will be back on your screens at some point in October. New flamingo shirt, same overall vibe. I'm sorry, Victoria. #onlyconnect

It's been a decade since I last overtalked and underperformed on a TV quiz show, so it's time for a new one. Here we go again. Only Connect, BBC Two, 24th August, 8pm. We're never beating the thruple accusations.

IDEA: Third-place playoff to be held immediately after the final. Everyone filing out the stadium as the game kicks off, people packing away during the first half, only sound in the stadium is the hoover being run round the terraces. Could do it in a pub car park.

Most of my words for the next hour will rhyme with ducking so it's probably not the best time to talk about stuff really.

Just once. Just one time, to watch a major tournament victory with family. Only one. Oh well.

Proper effing game of football, this. Huge fan. Saka for Rogers, this is the perfect Saka game, but otherwise wouldn't change a thing. Bring it home.

People talk a lot about Noni Madueke not having a right foot, but they often neglect to mention that he doesn't have a left foot, either.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Everyone in England is uniting behind the football result but let's not forget we still face tremendous issues as a country. For example, Tesco have stopped doing their three-for-two offer on crispy potato slices.

Now over to Harry Kane for a quick interview

Beautiful time to be English. Winston Churchill, fish and chips, Prince William, Three Lions fallen empires, crumpets, Factor 50 sun cream, Jude Bellingham, we've got it all. I might even like Wonderwall now.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

I have managed not to do any gatekeeping about the fact that my whole country is doing its nut at staying up to 2am for this one-off England game, and frankly I deserve a medal.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

No more Madueke. No more Spence. Rice at right back, start Eze. It's the only way to unshoot our own foot.

LeBron James, 41 years old - still the NBA's biggest market-mover, the one holding all the keys, and still better at basketball than almost everyone else on the planet. Mark Deeks, 41 years old - slept a bit weird last night and hasn't been able to turn left all day today.

$14 million for one year for Jock Landale is a hell of a lot of money. That's more than I earn in FIVE years.

Just a few hours left for Khris Middleton to sign an extension and avoid free agency. The most the Mavericks can offer him is a four year, $208,834,639 pact that runs through 2030, but Middleton may be wanting to see what he can get on the open market instead.

If Cam Boozer is only at best the third best player in it, you've got yourself a hell of a draft

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Always found it fascinating how a few NBA players treat LinkedIn like middle managers. "I'm happy to announce I have started a new role at Shooting Guard at Dallas Mavericks" oh right yeah cool I remember seeing the ad posted but the position wasn't right for me

Kai Jones, former Hornets big who talked himself into getting waived two years ago, has shot 120-127 from the field this season. A 94.5% field goal percentage. No I'm not making that up. heavy.com/sports/nba/c...

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Absolutely delighted to report that after four perfect hours, my stream died at this exact moment. I therefore have no idea how the fifth penalties went, but can only imagine they went really well and am thrilled by Arsenal's victory.

I HAVE NOTHING ANALYTICAL TO SAY. I JUST WANTED TO SHOUT TO ALLEVIATE SOME TENSION. COME ON ARSENAL.

All those times over the last two decades Arsenal needed to be able to shut teams down, and couldn't do it. All the stuff it cost them. Do not take for granted just how good they are at it this year. I don't care if it's an interesting watch for the neutral.

Dedicated forums for smaller user bases that allow for the formation of actual communities >>> whatever this is. We all made the wrong choice 16 years ago and we need to revert.

Had the dog now for five weeks and we finally heard him woof. It was at the sight of a cat. His first cat. Don't think he knew what to do, so he moonwalked, which tbh is what most of us do upon the discovery of any new information.

Can anyone here speak Serbian? I'd like to run a translation by you. Thanks.

Flashback to the time I went on a date with a highly educated woman who maintained there was no such thing as genetic predisposition, and when I used the example of how many fathers/sons/siblings/twins played top level basketball, she took it as validation of her point that it was about upbringing.

"If ever you get me a dog, that will count for like the next six birthdays and Christmases combined." 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.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

All that build-up, brief flashes of optimism, disappointing finish. To be fair, I've had many Saturdays like that.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

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.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

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.

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Congratulations to Jaxson Hayes for doing the first dunk in contest history that I reckon even I could do.

The real winner of the Super Bowl will of course be the well-trimmed ginger moustache, which is having its best season since 1978.

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.

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.
