Kyrie Irving Suffers Torn ACL in Knee: If you were curious how Mavericks GM Nico Harrison's "win-now window" for an NBA championship is going since the trade of Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis has played less than one full game before being injured and Kyrie Irving just suffered a torn ACL in his knee, which likely means being gone for a year. The video of Irving shooting two free throws after the injury is epic.

How have I never owned a George Foreman Grill? I owned the Bacon Wave and several Chia Pets.

If all goes according to plan I'll be in the stands at the Thunder vs. Nuggets game on Sunday.
Didn't expect a blowout in that one.

I was at that game in 1999. It was the first Jags game I'd ever attended. Half the crowd was Dolphins fans, even among the locals because many had followed them for decades. At the tailgate we booed bus after bus of their fans driving past.
I haven't seen a pro team come up bigger in a big game in person. The rout sent both Johnson and Marino into retirement.
Johnson was alright as a TV guy but I would've liked to see him give coaching some more time. The Dolphins made the playoffs in his final three years and went 11-5 the first two years after he left.

Before wishing for that I need to know if there's another rickety pal of Nico's in his thirties on the trading block in the offseason.

Nico's going to get fired someday, and it might be within his "win-now window."
The problem driving me away is the Adelsons. Can't see much hope in the future with them in charge.

I'm trying on the Indiana Pacers as my new team. As I watched them play Toronto, I tried to think of every former Pacer I could.
It didn't go well. I only got as far as Reggie Miller, Rik Smits and maybe Rick Carlisle.

Maybe Nico Harrison wanted Anthony Davis for his fierce fashion sense, not his basketball skills. Luka cuts his own hair with clippers while being driven to games on bumpy roads.

Celtics Sold For $6.1 Billion
That's a ginormous amount of money. I wonder how many years it will take for that to seem like a great deal financially.
