Side note :: the absolute and unequivocal devolving of ESPN into this dreadful, hellscape of what Bristol deems broadcasting, should be studied...the network of John Saunders, Dick Schaap, Mike Lupica, Mike Torico, Bob Ley, Dan Patrick, Stuart Scott, et al is somehow, now, this.

Clown. Show.

For as dreadful as Nembhard was down the stretch (entire 4Q honestly), it's curious that there was no sign of TJ McConnell after his brilliant stint in quarter 3. Were I a reporter paid to ask those kinds of questions, that might be something I'd bounce off of the ol' ball coach

Here for every last morsel and ounce of sauce that Coach White is dishing out here! Look, a league, as a brand, as a multi-million dollar league with a rising ceiling : if you hope to grow the game, your officials can't be this egregiously bad. It's f*^%ing laughable.

That pregame show is just so ghastly bad; and oh, the f'n irony following a promotion for the 'entertainment & sports programming network' harkening back to a golden era. Christ almighty I can't fathom the likes of Bob Ley, Dick Schaap and John Saunders watching these ppl work

Here come the officials ... Ffs

Folks, this is midday ESPN programming, and just a glimpse into why the falloff in Bristol is so drastic They're (see also: Stephen A) gate keeping a word When you're out of ideas and scrape for ways to gain(or retain) viewership - let's argue about an ambiguous word's meaning

Would love (literally) anyone to explain why I should give any brevity to the opinion of Stephen ... in the grand scheme of things; does his presence on FirstTake, or opinion, move the needle THAT much ? I can't stomach what they've become = talking heads saying 'nothing'

One more time for Indiana... First and foremost: thank you to the @pacers for this unforgettable, magical stretch of basketball. THANK YOU to the fans; to all those who've poured into The Pub and helped to further cement us as THE place to watch a game in BTown. The memories

Officiating now (sadly) becomes a crucial factor in the game moving forward ... what they're allowing OkC to get away with thus far (grab/punch/rock fight defense) will be another huge factor obvs Stacked deck against the good guys

Ffs - call the grabbing, slapping, pushing, yanking, pulling, shoving what it is (a foul); cause it sure as shit isn't defense

Why the F are we still watching that clip ESPN ... y'all the worst

Literally holding his fucking wrist whilst dribbling in game action... Not a foul @nba NBAOfficial

Meanwhile : Dort runs directly into Mathurin's path forward and throws himself into a heartbreaking tailspin of anguish and pain ... IS a foul - got it NBA NBA Official

Jesus ... they call THAT a moving screen

The interwebs remains undefeated

Ten years ago tonight... had the privilege to spin for these crazy kids; oh, and grabbed a pic that went CRAZY viral too Congrats on 10 years Mr & Mrs Jordan Hulls

Fuuuuuuuuudge That Ohio St doc on @Netflix is ghastly and, yet, not really surprising. The OH ppl who shifted blame to victims and then tried to hide behind the statute of limitations defense are complicit and abhorrent... that politician/wrestler guy, Gym I believe, F him man

In town ?? Head on over after the parade and grab a seat on the Patio ... we'll have .50 Cent Wings available until 3pm (includes NEW Wing of the Month: Honey BBQ) and the drinks will be ice-cold !! At 5 o'clock - we'll fire up the grill for our weekly $1 Hot Dogs & $1
