Buy me that Pryz. I’ll pay a service fee.

Not answering the question about Dante rejoining the team is typical Dan Lanning clown stuff. The second response to the second questions seems totally reasonable, to me (a hater)

Boise State is putting out the True Haters bat signal and, reader, I am ready to heed the call.

I like that you hate “golden state” as a concept. Consistency in conviction is admirable.

Running back a slow motion replay of Emily Engstler yelling the F word on this fine Sunday afternoon just as the Fire settle into getting boat raced. Thank you KPTV and Em for the collab.

There are more important and introspective parts of this @bullseye.maximumfun.org interview but Isaiah Rashad being really into Chopped and Screwed Outkast records really makes his whole sound make a lot sense youtu.be/5O12vfIVOQc?...

I don’t have the Giants blackout in Portland fwiw. That miraculous Amador homer was viewable in my living room.

As the only maximum fun member who *also* enjoys Taskmaster, I gotta say this was an absolute delight. There’s probably between 4-6 others out there with similar overlapping interests and I think they would really enjoy this, too!

A full morning of exposure to the culture war poisoning that roots for sports owners to be Maximum Efficient could spell the end for one local podcaster.

Tou is bending the limits of flopping. Pushing the boundaries of what it means to weaponize falling down against the best basketball players in the world. A charge is the simpleton’s offensive foul. The thinking man falls down while moving.

He led the league with 28. Charges only, not all offensive fouls.

lol I am less confident in that being a/the solution but I would never step in front of strongly held agenda. Go off.

Being able to sit Rudy and stay big with your two other large, stretchy and dribble capable tall guys is a nice option. The blazers were toggling between two bigs who can’t shoot or dribble.

'exits' begins! for the 6th year running, an nba playoff series that looks back on the seasons that weren't for each team as they're eliminated for the blazers, @mikegrich.bsky.social writes about what happens when a billionaire cheapskate treats a team like a bottom line

Exits: A light hostage situation

The Trail Blazers were back in the playoffs after seven seasons, but what does having a new owner who treats the team like a bottom line mean for Portland's way forward?

Perhaps having a Better Than Perfect sound curated and crafted for you as a teen makes the unavoidable struggle of aging a little more stark. Anyways this is a good essay bsky.app/profile/vins...

One time I told my friend (adjacent the music scene in LA) that Justin Bieber always had the sharpest production and that I wished my favorite rappers could emulate those crisp drums. He told me his pal was essentially attending Biebs Production College to learn to make a the perfect hi-hat clap.

Also the thing that’s “lol Rockies” is the likely to be league worst offense. The pitching staff is maybe just normal bad and the bullpen might even be above average. At least, update your doubts to the current season, if not the actual week they just played.

(Because I am procrastinating doing a thing I need to do and it’s 10pm on a Thursday here’s a thing I really like) I think about this @bullseye.maximumfun.org with @jessethorn.bsky.social episode with Mavi as much as any podcast episode/interview I have ever listened to: youtu.be/DJZGNJ7HmTE?...

Bam Adebayo is definitive proof that the best basketball players in the world do and always have come from Eastern North Carolina. Kick rocks Southern California, Chicagoland and the Balkans.

I wrote about ghost hunting and Damian Lillard. I don't write anymore (because I only get paid to yap) so, I guess, read this and I might do it again(?) medium.com/@michaelgric...

Ghost Hunting

During the spring of my senior year of high school, our history class went ghost hunting in Harper’s Ferry, VA, a historic Civil War town…

“I heard Caleb had another good game.” “Yeah, I mean he received nine passes from Shaedon Sharpe and two from Rayan Rupert!” “Wow!!! What was his total distance traveled and average speed on defense?!?!”

Caleb Love has been incredible and the Moda Center is making sure fans appreciate it with ummm whatever this is.

1.) incredibly weird energy to direct at your Hispanic neighbors right now. Is “I told you so” righteousness helpful for anyone? and 2.) Perhaps all these Dem politicians actively refusing to call for abolishing ICE is related to them losing elections past and future.

Jackson is as good as they get. Thoughtful, nuanced, never whining but still plenty passionate. (Don’t blame him for waiting until the morning to record lol. I didn’t finish until after midnight and it happened 15 minutes from my house)

Mike Richman @mikegrich.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Playing basically every minute with multiple competent ball handlers à la last year’s Pacers is really useful against a defense that wants to force you to dribble/make decisions in a crowd, too (and having the tall Frenchmen is a helpful attention grabber)

Mike Richman @mikegrich.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Chauncey also told Joe Cronin to build a roster with no shooting and very limited ball handlers, I agree.

My guy buried Coach K, became an instant and forever Carolina legend and then went 5-24 in the title game. He is going to hurt your heart. But he is not afraid to be the one that does it.

Glad y’all are getting a few games of the raw and uncut Caleb Love experience. It is extremely dangerous in every direction.
