🏀 Cursed, yet again (and again).
The only team who managed to lose to the Wizards so far this season just booted their GM.
🏀 The Wizards are a cursed team with tone-deaf ownership. For a prime example of their cluelessness I would like to refer you to Monumental Sports' corporate website and their tagline, “Where Monuments meet Momentum”, plastered all over the soon-to-be renovated Capital One Arena. The same group of people who thought this sounded good is in charge of running the team. They are also the owners of the Washington Capitals. The Caps have been, may I remind you, employers of the all-time best hockey player for more than 20 (!?) years, and have managed to win a single Stanley cup with him on board. Hope lies eternal that they will become good, but the odds are that the Wizards will turn any good player they get into a mediocrity.
None of this applies to the Wizard’s courtside entertainment crew, from the show runner to the mascot to their three dancing groups (standard, juniors and — the best of all — their senior dancing crew Wizdom). Whoever is in charge of them should take over the whole show.
A prediction, based on nothing but this short post from John Gruber and a hunch: within 5 years, Apple will have a deal to stream all college football. NFL may be out of reach, but for many people — Tim Cook included — NCAA is what matters.
🏀 Here is for another abysmal season!
🎾 They found him, and they boy ended up getting more than just a hat. Love a happy ending.
🎾 Ladies and gentlemen, behold the US Open’s Jackass of the week. I hope that sweaty unautographed hat stinks up everything in the bag.
🏀 The Denver Nuggets have fired coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth. I guess they wanted to avoid the inevitable.
🏀 Alex Ovechkin has just broken Wayne Gretzki’s career goal record and looking at his career trajectory made me realize Nikola Jokić was becoming the Ovechkin of basketball:
- GOAT contender with a remarkable sports IQ
- 20 years playing for the same team
- Won a single championship
Which is great!
🏀 Kudos to the person who suggested that the Orlando (Magic) at Washington (Wizards) game should be Harry Potter Night. Showing the Orlando starters as dementors was a lovely touch.
