It's almost NBA season.
I know this because I ran into an old friend the other day: the LeBron lower third on First Take.

Sometimes I feel so deep in the NBA weeds that I can't even see straight. But then there are other times, when I realize there's a whole perverted Narnia still out there, somewhere.
All new Ringer Top 100 with an all new look:

In a matter of months, Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon has cemented himself as one of the cheapest and most brazen owners in sports. But you don't have to be a billionaire to cut costs, ruin things, and antagonize people.

My new book WHY HULK HOGAN MATTERS is out today. You can buy it here or wherever you like to buy books: amazon.com/dp/0063518643?lv=…
KC is a legend. Travis Demers is an excellent radio PBP guy. The Blazers TV broadcast team was uniquely inventive. Galling stuff from an owner who in just a few months has already become one of the worst in league history.
Close enough
Justin Verrier is more hilarious than I remember. Might have to root for the spurs one more year. This is like when Larry was explaining to Cheryl that he is still in pain for the dog biting his dih @JustinVerrier
The issue is not contributing a single penny, even as a show of good faith or in some mutually beneficial arrangement that signals a long-term investment in the area—which is particularly repugnant given the city's current economic struggles. Every step of the way, Dundon has treated this franchise—which is more civic trust than capital-B Business—like a carpetbagger.
Seeing people commenting on Blazers arena story. Arena and Rose Quarter land were sold by the team to the city for $7 million 2 years ago to incentivize public investment. In this particular situation, no matter who ended up buying the team, this would likely be happening.
