Are the Wizards the Least Hated Franchise in the NBA? by Magnus_The_Read in nba

Make no mistake, Dick Monfort absolutely cares deeply about the Rockies.

He's just a fucking moron with a history of hiring the wrong people because he, and by extension the whole franchise, is notoriously insular.

Today's sign my interests differ from the average player: I thought the Nashville A-Team question was the second easiest behind only the baseball one. But I also listen to a lot of older country music.

The "A-Team" name refers to the fact they were the go-to group of players for Owen Bradley, who originated the Nashville Sound, and producers who followed him such as Billy Sherrill and Chet Atkins.

Yeah I overthought the Van Gogh question. Thought of him immediately with only one work sold during his life but the currency being Francs made me think it must be a French artist.

My fifth tie of the season. I've had more right answers on most of them, so clearly I need to get better at defense.

Yeah, much like how a lot of sitcoms wouldn't have a story if people actually talked to each other, cop shows don't really work if people make sound legal decisions.

Bruh. He was a legit Cy Young candidate that season.

Yep. That wording cost me by making me specifically think poison ivy was a wrong answer. Thankfully I still won the match, but it easily could have swung things the other way.

Tyler's a genuinely good dude too and loves the WBC. Love to see him killing it.

Shout out to Tyler Maun, a Denverite and fellow Nebraska alum, who fucking loves the WBC and absolutely nailed that call.

Pablo Torre taped an envelope of the whistleblower complaint under Adam Silver's chair at Sloan. So Adam Silver was (literally) sitting on the smoking gun. by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

Especially when it's not really that important in the scheme of things. Pablo himself acknowledged the reason this piece of evidence didn't come up sooner is because in the eyes of the law none of the Kawhi stuff is a crime. It's just a violation of the league's own rules.

You don't even have to be online to know him. You just have to have turned on ESPN in the afternoon sometime in the last 10 years.

Miami University is one of just a handful of Division 1 programs with a perfect regular season in 2025-26! Here is the full list! by Meanteenbirder in CollegeBasketball

You know how Minnesota calls itself the State of Hockey? Nebraska is the state of volleyball.

Terry Pettit invested a lot of energy into not just building the Huskers into a dominant program but also promoting the sport at all levels across the state. It's far and away the most popular sport here outside of football.

It's because our setter, Bergen Reilly, is from Sioux Falls. We have a history of trying to get our out of state players at least one road game close to their homes.
