The Denver Nuggets have fired head coach Michael Malone with three games left in the regular season: Malone had served as Denver's head coach since 2015 and was the fourth-longest tenured NBA coach, trailing Pop, Kerr, and Spoelstra. The Nuggets are a on a four-game skid and caught up in a Royal Rumble for seeding in the West as the playoffs near.

Sports Illustrated accused of publishing articles written by non-existent, AI-generated authors.: Noting that several "authors" headshots and bios were available for sale from a third-party AI website under descriptions like "neutral white young-adult male with short brown hair and blue eyes" or "joyful asian young-adult female with long brown hair and brown eyes", Maggie Harrison at Futurism investigates suspicious pieces that have been published under the banner of the once-heralded magazine. The Arena Group, who runs SI's current publishing line, says the pieces were published by a third-party contractor named AdVon, who has assured SI that "all of the articles in question were written and edited by humans" and therefore this is all big misunderstanding. SI has admitted no wrongdoing, but has terminated their contract with AdVon.

Speaking of Turnstile and recent releases, give the Citric Dummies' "Split With Turnstile" a listen next time you feel like putting your brain in a Punk n' Roll blender for twenty minutes.
Turnstile themselves are in no way involved (as far as I can tell), but I've been listening to it at least once a day since it came out. It's great.

That Wednesday album is really fun, NoMich. It falls during a very busy time workwise, but I'm hoping to make their StL show this Spring.

I think skipping them the same as the NBATV games makes sense.

Good Lord, that's impressive.
As easy as it is to get into Busch these days it's a bit shameful I haven't seen Shohei live. I'm gonna have to make a point to catch the Dodgers when they swing through town next year.

If nothing else, I learned my lesson from blowing locks on two stupid consecutive Thursday games. Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth for a couple of days until the rest of the league starts.

The answer the question "Did SpoFi collectively learn anything from the Week 5 fiasco?" appears to be a resounding "lol, nah".

Lots and lots of blown locks in the Pick 'Em this week, myself included.
I feel kinda sheepish admitting it because of reasons, but I'm finding myself pretty caught up in Baker Mayfield's season. I'm not going to go so far as to say I'm *rooting* for the Bucs (yet), but he's become must-watch football every weekend.
