sports mean a lot to a lot of people, myself included. i do think if you removed three professional sports teams from my city in my lifetime due to the whims of petulant billionaires, i would become the turbo joker
“oh my god i can’t double text him he’ll think i’m annoying”
babe usc is in the big ten and rudolph gobert is worth six first round picks there are no rules to any of this shit
The Pelicans are not expected to re-sign Jonas Valanciunas, per
@MikeAScotto
().
New Orleans will be prioritizing floor-spacing around Zion Williamson this offseason.
Valanciunas becomes one of the best available bigs in unrestricted free agency.

i said this same thing and then looked at my financial institution transactions with the new orleans pelicans and determined that i, too, have been swindled
september is a funny month. half the country is like “you just cannot beat a cool breeze in the downtown area of ____” and we are like “a weather event occurred where god tried to use all the ocean’s hot water to send us to hell”
As reported on NBA Today: CJ McCollum told ESPN that since his interview over the weekend with the TNT Crew, Zion Williamson reached out and the two have spoken.
i think my true most “get over yourself belief” is that sports stadiums should be kinda shit. no more new stadiums, maintain the current ones and price the tickets accordingly
oh they didn’t use gruyère on the seafood nachos this year??? get over yourself!! eat a damn hot dog
thinking of all those in appalachia rn. there are towns 300 miles inland that were absolutely devastated by rain & flooding. this isn’t just a coastal issue. we NEED a national insurance program.
our public utilities, schools, post offices, healthcare, trash collection, and transit services do not need to turn a profit. they need to operate efficiently and efficiently because EVERYONE NEEDS TO USE THEM.
we need to have a conversation SPECIFICALLY related to police & their responsibilities during storms. you receive 11% of the city’s operating budget. there are times in which you might need to get off your cellphone and help a citizen.
Just watched water rescue again on

Take a look at how the Crescent City Connection is set to look once that $20 million lighting project is complete around mid-December. Expect some traffic woes through the Summer. The story at 5 on

i like how it’s framed that the controllable things in life are doing laundry and stopping genocide and the uncontrollable are asking your neighbor to wear a mask and charging your phone
Highest net rating by a 5-man lineup since the trade deadline (minimum 50 minutes):
— Zion Williamson
— Naji Marshall
— Trey Murphy III
— Jose Alvarado
— Larry Nance Jr
funny story. this was actually my first filming day. never acted a day before in my life. 2000 people + brody + JCR + crew on set. couldn’t move on until they got the scene down. they were just like “okay camera is on you and you only, act like a serial killer”
🚨 SPORTS DRINK HQ IS HERE 🚨
we just signed a lease at 1042 toledano street (right off magazine street)!!! we’ll be doing a bunch of different things there
morning: coffee shop
afternoon: content studio
evening: event clubhouse (comedy, trivia, yoga, watch parties, and more!)
I have to thank
@Larrydn22
again for what he did for the youth of our city. He did more than a lot of people in his time here. It’s always love, Larry!
Thank you for everything you've given us this year,
@Zionwilliamson
. This was brutal timing, you don't deserve it, but you've shown us all who you are. I hope we see you on the court in 2 weeks, but if not, New Orleans loves you and is here for you. Come back strong.

- i know all y’all consider yourselves extremely pro business.
failing to regulate our utilities resulting in repeated catastrophic failures that constantly cause business closures is the opposite. it is actively hostile and unsafe.
walk with me on a theory
dejounte murray is the first player in new orleans basketball history to possess all three: 1) all star potential, 2) vocal leader, 3) ACTUALLY COOL amongst nba guys
BI & Z - aren’t vocal leaders
CP, JRUE, AD, CJ - all stars & leaders, but a lil corny!
it’d be crazy if we had two extra tickets to game 3 AND two extra tickets to game 4 in the loudest section of the blender
what would be even crazier is if we gave them away for FREE & to win all you had to do was:
-follow
@sprtsdrnk
-retweet
-& tag a friend you want to go with
ESPN Sources: Pelicans F Zion Williamson’s (left hamstring) is out for Friday’s Play-In Tournament elimination game vs. Sacramento and will be evaluated again in coming weeks. Huge blow for New Orleans.
oh yeah, big news:
last week the city planning commission recommended approval on our permit to change from a specialty restaurant to a standard restaurant WITH alcohol service.
espresso martinis, brunches, cold beers, wine walks, trivia, comedy, and more coming early 2024!!!
y’all know we can just do this, right? the world’s most annoying people will be angry for three months and then the whole city gets something nice forever
The mayor of Ljubljana was slapped in the face by a protestor over his plan to make parts of downtown car free in 2007.
Now? The results are overwhelmingly supported.
just had a lady who came in:
“so who put out those free palestine stickers?”
“oh, we did. please grab one if you’d like!”
“no, that really upsets me. i’m jewish and have family in israel”
“okay, well that will be $4.50”
hey, quick heads up. if i find out the person who flipped over all of our free palestine stickers - lifetime ban. no questions asked. your money isnt good here.
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

@LAGovJeffLandry
has signed into law a ban on transgender people using the bathrooms, locker rooms, etc that align with their gender identity. Now they will be forced to use the facilities for the sex they were assigned at birth.

“When your best players are playing defense, what reason do the rest of us have for getting beat. They are scoring 20 a game and playing defense, like the rest of us need to be on our P’s & Q’s. Just like everything on this team it starts with B & Z.”

today is our OFFICIAL 1 year anniversary!
april 5 was our OFFICIAL random man from city hall saying “just go ahead & open today. i gotta level with you, there’s no code enforcement right now. if you’re paying rent & need to open, just open” anniversary!
here’s to many more!!!!!

zion, if you're reading this - we love you brother. we know you want to get back as much as we want you back. take care of yourself and we'll see you soon king 👑
zion trey and herb. you have 3 starters at the 3 most valuable positions in the league. you have 5 tradeable firsts and 4 tradeable swaps.
this team is positioned SO well to succeed if they let themselves read the writing on the wall so obvious it’s scrawled in blood
my takeaway from this series: THIS is what your non-zion team looks like. the suns series is long gone. it’s not fun & has an obvious ceiling.
fully build the team around z’s strengths. if it craters? who cares. not many will argue this version of basketball is worth preserving
this is such an unnecessary battle. im a business owner with a legal food permit, these vendors ‘steal’ absolutely nothing. they make up a necessary part of a slowly withering late night food scene. help them get permitted, stop vilifying.

2022-23: 51.2%

i promise it’s not as bleak as some make it seem. but to continue that upward trend, you have to get uncomfortable making moves this off-season.
i am okay paying for it via my business sales tax and my personal income tax! this is what our taxes SHOULD pay for! not $155M/year to have police sit on their phones in $100K cars!
not to be alarmist but expect every storm that hits the gulf now to intensify quicker than models predict.
and our city and state just lack basic competence leadership right now. look out for your neighbors. we’re all we’ve got.
do not come in and yell at our baristas to turn the music down! there are nine hundred quiet coffee shops on magazine! we are the fun one! go leverage KPI’s elsewhere weirdo!
