I know losing to Miami sucks, but do you know what’s worse? Living in Miami. By getting out of there, you had already won before the game started.

I will never get tired of when the non-clean version of a song plays over the PA system accidentally and everyone looks around uncomfortably.

Back-to-school season used to start in August when I was a kid. Now it starts a couple weeks before the previous school year ends.

I get it, but I think that acquisition was made under a different strategy. They were going to make the next Elder Scrolls and Fallout and eventually Call of Duty exclusive, but I think Microsoft stepped in and basically told them they need to recoup those costs as fast as possible and they pivoted.

Don’t know how much faith gamers can have in the future of Xbox with all the recent moves they’ve made. Today is one of those days where I feel like Xbox might not be in the games industry in 5-10 years.

My biggest takeaway from the NBA Draft is that Bob Myers really doesn’t like working with Stephen A. Smith.

Are the Knicks going to draft a coach with their only pick?

Now that I live in a place that doesn’t have Empire apples in their stores, I am happy to announce that I have found a worthy replacement. After being let down by the Red Delicious (more like Red Mid), the Pink Lady apple has won the job.

He’s still pissed that no one attended his dictator-themed birthday party.

Mike Kraft @mkraft34.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

That's not a thing. Also, those Selena Gomez Oreos are great.

Why does the U.S. Open insist on making their tournament so difficult that fans are forced to watch golfers attempt to hit a shot in 3-feet high rough that travel 30 feet into the nearby sand trap as that golfer scrambles to save double-bogey? We want good drama, not “who was the least terrible.”

As a sports fan, there is nothing better than central time. The games don’t start too late to feel like you’re sacrificing sleep to catch the end and the games don’t start too early where it just feels weird.

Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump places retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. because of how embarrassing this made him look to the world.

000

I think that uninhabited island near Antarctica with nothing but penguins that Trump placed tariffs on had a higher number of protestors than Washington D.C. had people attending Trump’s birthday party.

Rookie mistake to schedule your birthday party on the same day as the UFL Championship Game.

I only watch the UFL championship for the halftime show and commercials.

I don’t ever brag about my cooking abilities, but my overcooked, under-seasoned grilled chicken is unrivaled.

Thought the Xbox conference was fine. Not amazing. Not bad. Lot of games announced, but many just not me type of game. I am excited about Cronos: The New Dawn and happy it’ll be out this year. Handheld looks cool, but gotta wait on the price before I’m sold on it.

By today, I mean Sunday. It’s been a long week.

Crazy how some states refund you 5 or 10 cents to return a soda bottle, while California is out here giving away Honda CRVs.

Hoping @snowbikemike.bsky.social is healthy enough to be on the Xbox Showcase reaction stream today. Missed his presence this week for the State of Play, Switch 2 launch and Summer Game Fest.

That’s why Connor McDavid is the best player in hockey right now. Oh my word that was pretty.

Silent Hill f in September and Resident Evil Requiem in February. Can’t wait for both. Horror video game fans in their glory right now.

000

Always excited for Summer Game Fest. @geoffkeighley.bsky.social always does a great job. Hoping to see Resident Evil 9 reveal trailer. It seems like it’s time.

To make the NBA Finals more interesting, it should start with the Pacers being up 3-0 in the series and having the next three games being played at Indiana and then, if necessary, Game 7 would be in Oklahoma City.

Hey Aaron Rodgers, today’s not about you. Today is all about the Switch 2. You can go to Pittsburgh tomorrow.

Nothing makes me feel smarter than knowing the answer to Final Jeopardy. It doesn’t happen often, but it happened tonight.

She’ll move back to Miami when the Hurricanes win a national championship in football. So…never.

This upcoming week is a big/exciting week: Wednesday: Stanley Cup Final begins Thursday: NBA Finals begin and Nintendo Switch 2 launches Friday: Summer Games Fest Sunday: Xbox Summer Showcase Fun week for sports and video games fans.

Are companies and organizations that rolled back or eliminated their DEI programs really going to change their profile to include the pride symbol this month and think they are fooling anyone?

Mike Kraft @mkraft34.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

We as a society need to have a discussion about why we are just sitting back and allowing cologne and perfume companies to produce the most bizarre commercials out there. None of them make any sense. Why is there a dude in his underwear randomly shooting an arrow into the sky?

There’s not enough juice (or whatever array of chemicals it is) in the Gushers. It needs to gush to earn the name Gushers.

It’s the last week of May and the Rockies still don’t have 10 wins this season. That’s crazy.

Mike Kraft @mkraft34.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

I’d do that to a human as well if they killed my mother.

Mike Kraft @mkraft34.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I’m surprised NFL owners voted to allow players to compete in flag football in the 2028 Olympics. These owners and teams put in language in player contracts disallowing things like playing in pickup basketball games at the local YMCA. Players can blow out an ACL or Achilles playing flag football.

Mike Kraft @mkraft34.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

I said after Game 6 that Toronto should petition the NHL to play Game 7 in Florida. The Leafs cannot play well in high-pressure games in front of their home fans.

Mike Kraft @mkraft34.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Roses are red Violets are blue The Leafs can’t win a crucial playoff game at home What else is new?

If I were Mahomes, I’d threaten to retire if the NFL keeps making him play on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Let the dude have the holidays off.
