As expected, ratings for the Western Conference Finals fizzled, as ESPN/ABC averaged 5.386M viewers per game, down 20% vs the year-ago Mavs-T'wolves series on TNT (also a 5-game set). Margins of victory were audience-throttling: 26/15/42/2/30. Average MOV for OKC wins: 28.3 ppg.

The dumbest part of NBA TV ratings takes is that the NBA already signed the long TV deal, so it means literally nothing.
Enjoy sports. Don't be a weirdo.

Emily Kaplan is very good at her job on ESPN's NHL coverage.
Gives good info and doesn't make it about herself.
“insufferable” - unpleasant, annoying, and difficult to tolerate. The word emphasizes the extreme level of annoying or bothersome behavior. I have often and proudly been insufferable, thus I can quickly recognize it in others. However, I have never used a mic to be insufferable.

If I had to do address @RGIII again I wouldn’t include his wife. She didn’t need to be made an example of in order to make my point. I could have easily pointed to the positive impact a connection with black women had on the way you see, understand, & treat them.
The optics of his video & personal history with RGII played a part in how I addressed him. I didn’t insult or attack her, but no matter the intent, & handling the impact was different.
Let her & her family be. If you disagree with his takes, or even side with me on this one there’s no need to involve them. I involved her myself, & that’s on me.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Caitlin Clark fouling Angel Reese led to Ryan Clark telling us he has a biracial child, the WNBA is officially here.

how did Caitlin fouling Angel in the 3rd quarter of the game that happened 4 days ago turn into this
I didn’t know this was news, but since other people want to talk about her… This is my first born Jaden. My God she’s beautiful. All of her!
I fell in love with her the first time I ever saw her, & I’ve loved her every day since. We grew up together. We cried together, laughed, fought… She is all mine and I’ve always been so proud to be her father.
Maybe, the news in light of this week is that she’s biracial. So? She is a perfect part of my God given experience, & the sum of those experiences make me who I am!
