The Billy Evans dick-measuring contest is over. @vcunningham won. “California brown homesteader dick, horse & buggy dick. A dick that says I live in the house I built. Joan Didion dick. Santa Ana Winds dick. Donner Party dick. Tan speckled kettlebell ass.”

"Just as our national-defense establishment’s alphabet soup of lethal agencies gets little pushback for its engagements with jargon—its often opaque talk of “threat levels” and “terrorist cells” and the many “bright lines” at whose thresholds diplomacy must end and violence begin—football fans have come to tolerate, and even crave, a surprisingly high level of nerdy, insidery talk." - @vcunningham

Karl-Anthony Towns Sr. calls out Jimmy Butler
“It only hurt me as a father to hear people saying stuff that was negative that wasn’t true to bring him down. But in the end, it all paid up. Jimmy ain’t got no championship. Karl bypassed him.”
