"I'm not saying that Kendrick Lamar's halftime show was a minstrel performance. However, where is the line, I think that an analyst could ask, between a meta commentary on a minstrel performance, and an actual minstrel performance?...I definitely don't consider it a revolutionary performance, but I don't know that... show more

Butch is a Pan African and a "Black and Brown" (not a real thing) propaganda believer so I don't take him seriously. He invoked Harriet Tubman in the context of Pan Africanism. Smh. His belief system is horrible for Black American Freedmen descended from U.S. Chattel Slavery.

If not a Kendrick halftime, then who? If not the performance he gave, then what? What would be better? A shitty system where no one tried to change it from inside, or a shitty system, absent those people? IDK...

You're giving Kendrick way too much credit calling it a commentary on anything lol.

Clock it! Cause “the revolution will be televised” was all we needed to know.

Black Americans want nothing to do with pan Afrikanism and that we are standing on business in USA. YES the political elites on ALL sides have to deal with our foundational imprint on this land. Black patriotism just doesn’t piss off the whites it pisses off the Pan Africans too.

Most minstrels had far more musical talent than Lamar.

When have you seen that at the Super Bowl? The closest was Beyoncé's "X" on the field & Black Power Fist. "40 acres and a mule, this is bigger than the music." — Kendrick Lamar It doesn't get more political than that. Then he credits some clout chaser muling for another cause.

Butch Ware's scorching, hellfire defense of his California gubernatorial run and analysis of Harris's CA ambitions was well worth the looooong wait through the somewhat interesting Kendrick Lamar diversion.

Chris Haynes on Giannis future with the Bucks and believes he could be moved at some point: "When the losses keep compiling, Giannis is going to have to keep fielding these questions. Thats why its getting to a point he is tired of hearing it. The Bucks have to make a decision. Do you waste a players talent when you know what that player desire is and what you promised him? I don't think this will go away anytime soon. I think he could be moved at some point. Which point? That i don't know. This team is not good. They have to make a miraculous turn around."

Rory MacDonald believes it's best that he didn't win the iconic fight against Robbie Lawler at UFC 189: "The [UFC] invited me [to the Hall of Fame induction]... It was right after I retired and I was being a bit of a baby. I felt like a loser at that point, I lost that fight. What am I gonna go accept an award for losing a fight? It was a great lesson and taught me so much about myself. I don't have any bad feelings at all, and I'm glad it came out the way it did. I think it was meant to be that I didn't win that fight. I don't think it would have been any good for me with where I was at my life at that point to carry that."

Asked Rudy Gobert what he meant by accountability and where that accountability needs to come from. "It starts with ourselves, but it seems like we don't have that. So I think at some point, from the coaches, yeah, from the coaches. It's not an easy position for a coach to take guys out of the game. It's not something you want to do. But I think if the players don't show any effort, at some point, no matter how talented we are as a team, if you don't have that, we just can't be a winning team. It starts with me. If I'm not showing effort, take me out the game. And everybody else gotta follow. Our best players, our leaders, if you don't show any effort, don't matter if you score 50, we're just not gonna win. So at some point, we're not mature enough to have that accountability ourselves. That might be the solution. And I guarantee (if that happens), when we come back on the court, we'd show effort."

"Is Stretch really that innovative Bitcoin-backed credit, or is it just yield chasing right now?" David Duong on the real debate around Michael Saylor and Strategy "So far Saylor has demonstrated the ability to raise capital and grow his Bitcoin per share. That kind of stays ahead of the compounding dividend obligation he has. That engine so far has been running" "But is that an autopilot thing where he can just keep doing that in perpetuity? I don't have the answer to that. I don't think anyone does" "A lot of it comes down to Michael Saylor. How good is he at continuing this trend? I don't know what the answer is gonna be at the end of all things, but this is what a lot of people are internalizing at the moment"

Ebro reveals what he thinks happened after some of Kendrick Lamar's music briefly disappeared from streaming services, saying it could have been a rights or distribution issue: "I don't know what happened, but I would have to assume that it has something to do with the people who own the music... If there's like a takedown order or some sort of rights issue or something, that goes between the label and the distributor." "Of course it happens the week 'ICEMAN' is about to drop."

Parnas: Well, I was told I had to get real, authentic Mexican food when I was out in L.A., so I made it a point to do that. And I went and got nacho fries, which is real and authentic. And then, number two, I mean, boots-on-the-ground journalism. I think there are a lot of people on the internet who think that I’m just an aggregator and a mouthpiece. But I wanted to show that I actually go on the ground and test things out myself and let people know really what is happening in this world. So I took a trip to Taco Bell.

Peter Thiel on the advice all young people need to hear: "My bias was that education was a substitute for thinking about your future. What are you going to do with your future? I don't know. I'll get an undergraduate degree. What are you going to do once you have that? I don't know. I'll get a graduate degree ... And so when we think of our lives as just adding these line items on a resume, I think that's actually not the best way to go about it."

i know it's part of their job to deal with an unexpected situation like the stage breaking and keep the show going, but i also think it says a lot abt them as a group that they discussed their next steps together and adjusted their performance so quickly

It was a situation where you have two guys that are great performers and feel that their performance must involve a lot of risks "It was a crazy match. I thought it was way too much. I don't think I could ever watch that match and enjoy it "I don't think I've ever watched it since, frankly. Can't watch it.

"I do actually have a little bit of sympathy for Lewis. When you watch the [yellow flag] panel up on the left, it just comes on as he's going into the corner.... so there it's off and there it comes on. At this point though, Lewis's eyeline, look at his helmet, he's looking there, he's looking at the apex,he's basically under the panel, so it comes on quite late for him at that point." "Now if we just play it along here, he's clearly pushing on, you can see a little bit of correction on the way in, but at this point this is where I think he'll have a tricky time defending it because quite clearly his teammate's car is parked on the side of the track, quite clearly he could see it, and if I play along, he's accelerating at full speed." "So I don't know what the stewards will think of it. As I said I have a little bit of sympathy for him, and the fact that the yellow came out really when he was underneath the panel, so he may not have actually seen it, but we'll see what the stewards have [to say]." - Karun Chadhok

Watching it as an adult is hard. As a teenager I just thought the boys were being silly. And they were. It isn't fair to put all the blame on them. But then I think, at what point do they stop getting a pass for turning these girls and their problems into a fun summer game?

Keegan Bradley says losing the Ryder Cup at Bethpage was the “darkest time of his life”. However, he also would love to do it again and “avenge that loss.” Speaking ahead of the Hero World Challenge, he said: “I have this like gaping hole in my career now that I don't know that I'll ever be able to fill. This isn't something that you lose the Masters, you lose a tournament, I'm going to work extra hard to get back and win. “Being the captain of the Ryder Cup team is not something you can work hard for, it's just something that's sort of elected on you. “I don't know. Of course I would love to do it again, I would love to avenge that loss, but that's not up to me. That's not up to -- I don't think that's fair for me to come out here and say that. “But I would love to do it again at some point. I don't know if that will ever happen, probably won't. I think if you ask any losing captain if they would like to do it again, they would all want another shot.” On what the weeks after the Ryder Cup were like for him emotionally, he said: “I mean, the darkest time of my life probably. I mean, I don't know how else to describe it. Certainly, definitely of my career. There's always this letdown after a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup regardless of the outcome because the emotions are so extreme. It's Ryder Cup hangover and you're just exhausted and you're down, you know. That takes a toll on you. “But there's just, it just was, it just was a tough time. Still is. But to be honest with you, the last couple weeks I've felt more like myself. Getting back, getting ready to play tournaments, playing the Skins game, getting ready to come play here. “Really, it's been tough for all of us; not just me, the players as well. I feel like every time I see a player on the team here I want to just go give him a hug and sit down and chat. But I'm grateful for everybody. I'm in a unique position where I could make another team, which has never been done. I would love to do that.” What are your thoughts on this, would you give Keegan another shot at being Captain in 2027?
