In today's Duncan/DL podcast, they made a good point. When Brunson took essentially $10 million less a year in the most recent contract, it enabled signing KAT, OG, retaining Hart, and bringing in Bridges. Money matters.

Fine, but missing all nba awards literally hurts their wallet. Not to mention you get undeserving guys now eligible for supermax extensions and what not.
It’s not about MVP, it’s about how impactful making or not making an all defense or all nba team is

One Man Stole $660 Million. He’ll Never Pay It Back. nytimes.com/2026/02/18/opini… Everything about this is appalling but for a party (GOP) that claims to be for the little guy, cheated investors get fucked twice, the Trump pardons means no penalties will be paid.

When Trump Officials’ Claims About Shootings Unravel in Court nytimes.com/2026/02/10/us/po… Some of our national media has not bent the knee to Trump and his goons; the NY Times is doing fine work laying out how totally corrupt and venal this administration is.

Inside Kash Patel’s F.B.I.: Meltdowns, Chaos, Vendettas nytimes.com/interactive/2026… Truly devastating Times report on how the Trump admin is weaponizing the FBI, essentially destroying it in the process. Special kudos to showing what a piece of human garbage Sen Grassley is.

New Video Analysis Reveals Flawed and Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Pretti nytimes.com/video/us/1000000…
Lots to freak out about here, but the worst thing is two men firing 6 shots into Pretti when he's on the ground and already shot. Straight up murder.

This is a bit like barking at the moon, but it seems absurd to me that almost all the NFL players in bitter weather go barearmed. I mean, we're not children and a long sleeved undershirt means jack shit in the grand scheme, but apparently idiotic macho bullshit prevails.

It's not possible for Trump to seem more venal, stupid, or corrupt, but you got to love a pardon of a woman who committed fraud, got pardoned once by Trump, committed fraud again, and was just pardoned a second time. Is there a 3-peat looming?

For someone who only pays attn to college fb in Dec, why does the transfer portal open up while the playoffs are still going? Is Kiffin going to recruit a bunch of Ole Miss players for LSU and if they commit, do they still play in next week's game? Seems a crazy clusterfuck.

I'm all for celebrating Redford's career, but can we dial back the praise for The Natural? It's a bombastic failure of a movie; Dave Kehr speaks for me in this:

You know why Trump can't stop shitting on Biden? Because Biden whooped him bad, 7 million more votes. Sure, Hillary beat his pop vote total too, but lost the EC. And please spare me the 2020 MAGA bullshit on that election; if you still believe this, you're an idiot like 47

What a weird 2nd round so far. The three best teams record-wise all lose, one loses the first two at home, and now the Warriors mostly without Curry beat the Wolves solidly.

I see Kevin Love's father Stan just died (condolences to the Love family); I don't think I've ever heard (until now) that Stan was the Beach Boys' Mike Love's younger brother, which makes Kevin Love his nephew.
