This is a real problem the NBA has to address. They want a hard cap where leading talent is on cheap rookie deals. Can’t have it both ways.
Build your own delays. Cancel flights and line up your dolls at the angry customer service desk. Seat people in increasingly tiny seats. Overcharge them anyway.
From Giannis last night. Would welcome a bunch of roster turnover if there’s this level of selfish play. Whoever it is can go (I suspect a couple of the guards)
This is beyond messed up from the Pacers. Do they really think their own players don’t notice this? Try getting them to take a discount or a team option year now. It’s wild how much they’re carrying water when the FO screwed it up offering him 3/66 when he went and got 4/107
IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD is among Boswell Books Top 25 BESTSELLERS Grateful to everyone who’s picked up a copy. 414 forever. Fear the Deer.
Could not have asked for a better book launch. Thank you to readers who SHOWED UP. Boswell ran out of copies! (Don’t worry; restocked) Thank you to @jordantreske.bsky.social, Patrick Mullen, and Jim Kearney for being part of a magical night. And Bucks have been undefeated since, so…
Y’all, Boswell is LOW on copies of my book. More on the way, but make sure to come to the event tomorrow to get one boswellbooks.com/events/2025/...
In line for concessions at my local war-ravaged Portland independent movie house
Remembering Brewer Guys Never forget Jose Hernandez made the all-star team and the same year was one strikeout short of the single-season record (Manager kept him out of the last few games so he wouldn't break it)
On this Labor Day, never forget the sacrifice the 8/8/8 activists made. (From my upcoming book, IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD)
Y'all. CHARLIE freaking BERENS really liked my book 😇 “IN THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD finds the humor, joy and grit of the Midwest, but the soul of the book will hit any heart away from home.”
There’s a lot I love about my upcoming book, but almost nothing as much as @parkerbs.bsky.social doing the interior art 😍 Bespoke breweries, beers, and coasters for each series in the 2021 Bucks title run. So freaking cool
