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.

I can't actually remember now as we filmed back in March. What I do know is that the producer said to me "the list of facts you submitted was easily the longest we've ever had". So hopefully they weren't all terrible.

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

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.

Actually, ignore that, it's going quite well this. Really bodes well for the rest of the tournament.

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.

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.

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.

Oh you have to stay up until 4am to watch us lose in the World Cup against Mexico? Yeah well I would stay up until 5am to watch JamesOn Curry play for four seconds at a time and watch the Kings play three power forward lineups. Miss me with it. (Medal rescinded, but worth it.)

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.

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

Mark Deeks @markdeeks.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Yeah you're done. Drop that rim to eight foot and throw down one weak two-footed two-handed dunk a year in a vain attempt to stay young, it's all that's left.

Just to clarify/disagree, "full mutual options" aren't a thing in the NBA.

I just cut my losses and moved to a bungalow. Figured I wouldn't have to do that until I was about 112 but here we are already.

If they just wanted someone to shoot threes, I'd've done it for, like, $16.5 million. They never asked me really.

I'm four months older than him, and honestly, it might as well be four million years considering how differently we move.

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.

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...

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.
