New piece has indeed dropped for @BealeStBearsFS bealestreetbears.com/2023/07…
Many reasons for this, but the main one is that the Walter Cronkite figure (and their monologues), which to some represent objectivism and to others represent hegemony, is untrustworthy. Costas’ take here is a good example as to why: whiny, wrong, drenched in fearful conservatism
As post-internet, post-9/11 viewers began to understand that we did indeed lose Vietnam, and that the police are perhaps not the beacon of protection that was promised, the Cronkite mold that sold these ideas has become less and less trustworthy since that archetype sells…

We really grabbed onto “Shams sends a lot of texts!” And not “holy shit he helps players gets screwed in negotiations to keep the access going.” nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

Check out the latest episode of the @UpUnderPodcast1! We’re back from hibernation and can’t wait to put these out on a much more consistent basis with the NBA season gearing up.
Thank you for all the support!

I can’t tell if anyone who complains and whines about this is a big baby or if this hyper-commodification of the self is a really dark sign under a capitalist system speeding towards failure, it’s probably a tiny bit of both and somewhere in between though
The Kelce social media growth train keeps rolling. In the past seven days, Travis Kelce has gained over 330,000 Instagram followers; the next closest player is Jason Kelce with over 115,000, then Patrick Mahomes with over 48,000, per @bknown_ . Since the Bears-Chiefs game ended, Kelce has gained 1.1 million Instagram followers, whereas many NFL players don’t have 1.1M total. Even the Chiefs’ Instagram has gained over 180,000 followers in that same period – almost 4x more than any other NFL team, with the Eagles being in second at over 48,000.
NBA players have shot themselves in the foot by buying into capitalism, treating themselves as a brand and buying into a losing arms race against billionaires. It’s not jrue’s fault at all, but more outrightly pro-employee and anti-individualist unions could limit this
Boxers from the 20s would beat each other half to death until one of their eyeballs flew out and would be in the press conference like “I gave ‘em the ole razzmitazz”
This is it. The end of the line. A take the poster doesn’t even agree with that he posted for engagement. An engagement farming firm reposting it in order to farm engagement. Nothing has any substance, everything is advertising

#Bulls Derrick Rose goes in detail about his rape allegations:
“She owed me $20k-$30k after the court case”
Rewatching that Kings/Warriors game: Quiñones gets dunked on by Keegan Murray on the first play, flexes over him, then Quiñones proceeds to absolutely light it up and talk in his ear the rest of the game. Murray played well too, but Really fun back and forth lol
27 points, 7 personal fouls, the first ever flopping technical, and a separate summer league technical is just beautiful
