Incredible Kyle Busch Tribute (By dj brownsville)

I acquired one of the biggest bills found on the ground in 1980 that matched to the D.B. Cooper ransom. Yesterday, I extracted it from the case it has been in for 45 years to submit it for grading.

When the house you are over realizes that their cord cutting has compromised your timing. We said “Happy New Year” at 12:01:26.

Gretzky: “Don’t hug me, you stink!”

Five years ago: I had bet $1,550 before the season that Northwestern would win the Big Ten Championship. I did a “Deal Or No Deal” with PointsBet with live cashout offers coming in from the banker to ⁦Teddy Greenstein⁩. With NU up 10-6 in 3rd I cashed out.

Catching a glimpse of LeBron at Fanatics Fest is tough work.

The star of tonight’s Jim Irsay collection at Christie's is Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” scroll. It was bought by Irsay for $2.4 million, but should go for north of $3.5 million tonight.

To do anything other than (safely) frying a turkey is idiocy.

I have covered betting in some form for the last 25 years. Watching Kalshi take $22 million in bets on words Trump would say tonight is the most mindblowing thing I’ve yet to witness. Are people really cashing in on Autism mentions? What a world.

I have been to 99% of hockey games my 10-year-old boys have played. Of course, the first-ever one-timer goal for Spencer (No. 88) comes when I'm on a plane 😡

Northwestern was down 21 in the fourth to Minnesota this weekend. Forced overtime and won it with this Ben Bryant to Charlie Mangieri TD. When Mangieri got to the endzone, he signaled his love for his former coach Pat Fitzgerald — his player number 51 with the heart symbol.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have tried the Rainbow Cookie Egg Roll at the New York Mets Game ($8.89) and it is a must try. The Mets #1 again in all of ballpark food.

Balenciaga is trolling rich people now.

The Washington Capitals team collecting all those hats from Alex Ovechkin’s hat trick today. Career goals 880, 881 and 882, now 13 behind Wayne Gretzky.

The 1-2 hour wait to get into the Lincoln Tunnel this morning (8:50 am) for NYC commuters.

If ever there was an advertisement for New York City FC’s pitchside seating, this is it. These seats lived up to their billing.

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has his $360M, 400-foot yacht Kismet parked in New Orleans. It has: 3 pools, four fireplaces, a spa, a sauna, a cryo chamber, a gym, a yoga studio, basketball and pickleball courts and a helipad. Sleeps 12 guests, crew of 37.

Logan Paul reacts to his Pokemon Illustrator hitting $12,524,000 at Goldin

New addition to my Slam Dunk Champion fan score cards. Dee Brown signing his 1991 card. The pen holding made me nervous, but gave a great sig. Thanks PalmBeach Autographs for being the best!

Ten years ago today. The most incredible minutes of my reporting life. Positioned inside the most popular bar in Leicester for LCFC’s moment they win the EPL at 5000/1 odds, as Chelsea’s Eden Hazard ties the game with Tottenham for what became the clincher.

Riddell is not in the business of making helmets for people to play football in. They are in the business of making helmets to be owned by collectors.

In the early 80s, Rickey Henderson was called by the A’s accounting department because they determined he didn’t cash his $1 million for nearly a year. Here’s what happened, as he told “Mike &amp; Mike” in 2009.

We speak with A.J. Scaramucci, winner of the Logan Paul Pokemon Illustrator card that he won for $16.49 million last night. Why did he “need” to win it?

How do you possibly have three sons in the NHL with two starring on the gold medal US Olympic Hockey Team? You’ve pretty much been a badass since birth. Here’s a feature on Quinn, Jack &amp; Luke’s mother Ellen in Dallas in 1981. (H/T Corby Davidson)

The “fake” Team USA Jack Hughes jerseys have arrived at my house. Half the price, five months before next Nike delivery. Did they pass the test?

Jack Hughes admits he has left open the possibility of not fixing his teeth in the near future. “People would be pretty pissed.”

36 years ago today: Kirk Gibson's pinch hit homer in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Every future broadcaster should be shown this as an example on when not to talk. Vin Scully didn't open his mouth for MORE THAN A MINUTE.

Kalshi sharing information of what bets are coming in live against total bets coming in is something sportsbooks do not share. I could see how this is appealing to the bettor.

Japanese donut shop I’m Donut?, which started as a small stand in Tokyo, and has virally spread throughout Japan, is opening in Times Square this morning. The line is insane…

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade. Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius. It is the speech for TODAY

There was no one like Ozzy Osborne. As in, no one would ever mistake him for anyone else. In August 2003, he sang “Take Me Out To The Ballgame,” got fewer than 10% of the song right, and it was perfect.

$15,113,120: Current top bid for Logan Paul’s Pokemon Illustrator. The scene at Goldin HQ…
