[Pablo Torre] I started watching the movie Kyrie tweeted out to prepare for today's episode of @debatable. And if you were wondering exactly how insanely anti-Semitic it is, just know that they show this quote from "Adolph Hitler," as such:
I started watching the movie Kyrie tweeted out to prepare for today's episode of @debatable. And if you were wondering exactly how insanely anti-Semitic it is, just know that they show this quote from "Adolph Hitler," as such:
"America has God's Jewelry, The Americans have the jewels of God. The Americans have stolen God's precious jewels. "What do you mean his precious jewels?" THE SOLDIER ASKED, Hitler said, "America has stolen the Jews. The Jewels of God. His Jewelry. The NEGROES. They are the TRUE HEBREWS. What a foolish move and a direct challenge to God. And they plan on moving these false white Jews into a state of Israel."
"Because the white Jews know that the Negroes are the Real Children of Israel and to keep America's secret the Jews will blackmail America. They will extort America, their plan for world domination won't work if the Negroes know who they are.”
Believed to be said by Adolph Hitler in a secret document before his death in an undisclosed location.

Pat McAfee just said they are no longer allowed to use team logos on their graphics
Seems like a massive mistake on the NFL’s part. Like what are you thinking? I dont think they ever did anything disrespectful to any of these logos. This season has been pretty rough for the NFL when compared to recent years and Pat and his show have done a lot to sugar coat things and try to keep it positive.

[Highlight] Announcer says “I don’t know if that’s cooking, that’s just throwing it in the microwave”
Sabado, Oktubre 29, 2022
Troy Aikman one year forgot to buy candy to give out on Halloween. He had football cards lying around so he autographed those and gave them out instead. The next year he gave out candy, twice as many kids showed up and were bummed because they wanted autographed cards instead.

MacMahon: I’ll say this, the good thing if that happens [Embiid requests a trade], the Sixers appear to be well-positioned to replace him with Victor [Wembanyama]. Bontemps: That is not true. Of all the teams to own their pick, it’s actually the Nets
MacMahon: How long until Embiid starts to get an itch and think about greener pastures? I’ll say this, the good thing if that happens, the Sixers appear to be well-positioned to replace him with Victor.
Bontemps: That is not true. Of all the teams to own their pick, it’s actually the Nets, as part of the James Harden trade.
Correction: Due to pick swaps agreed to in the HOU-BRK Harden trade, Houston would get the number one pick in a hypothetical scenario where Philly won the lottery.
Second Correction to my 1st Correction which is Incorrect: It appears that it will still go to Brooklyn. Thank you, u/lishmh33

Fantastic game for Curry, giving the Warriors the win with 10 points in the last 6 minutes of the game. Not one single free throw attempt and still managed to score 33 points while playing selfless basketball. Also apparently the only person who can throw a lob to Wiseman, who had a great game himself.
If Tom Brady was traded before the deadline, what would be his trade value?
I was joking with my buddies that Tom Brady might demand a trade since the Bucs are struggling. That discussion got me thinking: In a hypothetical situation, if Tom Brady was traded, what would be his return? He is 45 and it would be a half season rental, but on the other hand, it’s Tom Brady.

Did you know 2020 Laker champs Alex Caruso ($9 million), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($14 million) and Kyle Kuzma ($13 million) combine to earn $36 million this season and the Lakers could have all of them plus P.J. Tucker ($10.5 million) for less than Westbrook ($47 million) earns this season? Apologies, couldn't be helped, let's move on.

[Rapoport] Tests have confirmed that #Jets RB Breece Hall did, in fact, tear his ACL as the team feared, source said after the MRI. He also had a meniscus injury. His promising rookie season is over.
There are 30 teams in the NBA and they all exist when they're not playing the Lakers, too
Just a reminder that maybe we don't need 50 percent of threads on the first page discussing the Lakers. Boring!
[Kleiman] Scouts believe that #Colts QB Matt Ryan’s arm "is shot", according to @AlbertBreer Added: "It definitely looks like he has to work harder to get the ball where he wants it to go."
[Kevin O'Connor] Sources expect the Lakers and Jazz to resume talks later in the season with some combination of other players discussed. (Utah has Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and Rudy Gay—three veterans who can all shoot.)
When that time comes, Los Angeles will explore trade combinations with the Pacers that involve center Myles Turner and/or wing Buddy Hield. Those talks are currently on hold, but Turner and Hield would both add much-needed shooting, and Turner would provide rim-protection depth behind the oft-injured Davis.
Utah has been connected to the Lakers for months, too. League sources say that before the Jazz sent Bojan Bogdanovic to the Pistons, the Lakers offered Westbrook, a future first-round pick, and second-rounders for Bogdanovic and others. Sources expect the Lakers and Jazz to resume talks later in the season with some combination of other players discussed. (Utah has Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and Rudy Gay—three veterans who can all shoot.)
This sub loves piling on the Lakers, but why is no one talking about the 2nd round contending Sixers being 0-3?
I didn’t realize until now that the Sixers are currently 0-3.. why is no-one talking about this?
They lost to a mediocre Spurs team a couple days ago and lost by 2 pts to the Bucks with a struggling Jrue Holiday And from what I know they’re just about fully healthy.
For anyone actively watching the Sixers this season, what’s the main reason for the early season struggles? You would think they’d have a bunch of momentum to start the season after their amazing offseason.
…. God I hope this works.
Despite their 6-1 record, the Giants have not had a two possession lead at any point this season

Titans-1
Panthers-6
Cowboys-0
Bears-8

Since drafting TJ Watt in 2017, the Steelers have ranked 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, and 1st in sacks. Since week 2, with Watt out of the lineup, the Steelers rank 32nd in sacks, by a safe margin.
We've seen the numbers on the Steelers W-L with and without Watt in the lineup (by now, the Steelers are 52-22-2 when Watt plays at least half of the game, compared to 1-11 when he does not). The Steelers' pass rushing success with/without Watt is remarkable.
In week 1, with Watt in the lineup, the Steelers had 7 sacks against the Bengals, but in the 6 games since, the Steelers have collected just 5 sacks total. That ranks dead last, comfortably, among all NFL teams since week 2. Here are team sack totals since week 2 this season:

[Wood] Dan Snyder's wife getting booed during a promo on the big screen during this timeout. And now a loud "sell the team" chant. If you wondered how the locals feel about owner Dan Snyder.
[Linn] After Paul George went on record saying that Kawhi Leonard is the one and he’s the two, Ty Lue said he had a conversation with PG about being aggressive since Kawhi will be ramping up slowly. In Kawhi’s first game off, PG goes for 40.
Paul George tonight:
40 PTS 6 REB 6 AST 2 STL 1 BLK 52% FG
Willed the Clippers to victory without Kawhi Leonard and John Wall.
This was the 8th time in Paul George’s career he finished with at least 40 PTS, 5 REB, 5 AST, and 2 STL.
LeBron James, Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden are the only active players with more such games.
Paul George: “I gotta do a better job closing it out.”
He scored 10 of the Clippers last 12 points.
[Highlight] Mike Evans drops a certain TD.
[Kevin O’Christian] Christian Wood should be starting but can't argue with 50 points in 49 minutes off the bench. The Mavericks have a 147.6 offensive rating in the 31 minutes he has shared the floor with Luka Doncic.
While Wood may get an opportunity to start in the future, his role being a 6th man in a 2 game span has already showed tremendous results. Luka and Woods chemistry will continue to build and I think this duo is going to be a force of nature later in the season.
Should Wood start or continue to be the 6th man for the mavs?
[Werder] Dak Prescott personally chose the Lions to be the opponent after returning from his injury.

Nikola Jokic just recorded his 77th triple double, the second most by a center in NBA history. Wilt has 78.
Source: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/center-most-triple-doubles-history
Very exciting that Jokic is approaching this record. Of course, blocks were not recorded during Wilt’s career.
J. Green Power Rankings, Week 1
- Jalen Green
- Jamychal Green
- Jeff Green
- Javonte Green
- Josh Green
Jalen looks primed to have one of the all time great J. Green seasons--at the very least the best we have seen since Jeff Green with the Celtics in 2013-14. Javonte Green could be a real wild card this year, especially if Patrick Williams continues to struggle and potentially lose minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if he works his way up the rankings. But as any true J. Green fan will tell you, Week 1 is too early to jump to conclusions.
Who can you really not tell the story of the NFL without?
I've seen some people use the phrase "You can't tell the story of the NFL without this dude" as an excuse to put people in the hall of fame. So who are the players you really can't tell the story of the NFL without?
[Rapoport] Source: The #Commanders are placing QB Carson Wentz (broken ring finger) on Injured Reserve, meaning he’s out the next four games. The hope is he can play upon being eligible to return, but he will miss a reunion game against the #Eagles.
[NFLonCBS] Most TD from scrimmage since 2015 (Games Played): Todd Gurley 79 (88), Davante Adams 75 (105), Derrick Henry 73 (91), Ezekiel Elliott 70 (94), Melvin Gordon 68 (105).Yes, Todd Gurley was that good
[Schefter] While Russell Wilson wanted to play despite a hamstring injury and did everything he could to play, the Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett will hold back the 9-time Pro Bowl QB vs. the Jets to allow him to heal and prevent a lingering injury, per sources.
Biyernes, Oktubre 21, 2022
[Eversoll] After the #Packers traded Davante Adams, we figured they'd run their offense through Aaron Jones. HOWEVER, Jones is literally touching the ball *less* than he was last year. 🤯 This year: 87 touches in six games. (14.5 per) Last year: 223 touches in 15 games. (14.86 per)
[Cimini] Moore is being treated like an injured player. No practice today. Will work with conditioning staff for the next three days. Basically, he's being kept in timeout.
[Machota] Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked on 1053thefan about the report of him telling Patriots owner Robert Kraft, "Don't f--k with me" at recent owners meeting: "In this particular case, it's probably accurate that I did express myself in probably a way that's not in good taste."
[Breer] One thing I think pro football players all have in common—incredible radar for BS. And that’s why if a coach or captain is phony in the NFL, it always catches up to them. Here’s an example of the opposite of that at work. Watch the reaction to Hurts.
The Lakers were already a bad 3 point shooting team last year and then they lost all of their best 3 point shooters.
The Lakers were 22nd in 3P% last year and so far this year are 29th. In hindsight, this seems somewhat obvious given the players they lost.
Among players with at least 50 3PAs last year, their leaders in 3P% were:
D.J. Augustin: 43%
Malik Monk: 39%
Avery Bradley: 39%
Wayne Ellington: 39%
Carmelo Anthony: 38%
Kent Bazemore: 36%
None of these players are on the team this season.
[Vasquez] Saleh on the Moore trade request: "Trading him is not an option." He won't play at Denver this week. Saleh said it wouldn't be fair to ask Moore to play a game this week given where his mind is at right now.

[Haynes] Los Angeles Clippers have been considering the possibility of bringing Kawhi Leonard off the bench to start the season in order to manage his minutes, league sources tell @YahooSports.
[Ruiz] Statistical comps to josh allen's first two years have overtaken rookie year peyton manning as the preeminent form of young QB cope.
[Linn] “I was one of those people who thought I was invincible.” Having battled anxiety and depression, Paul George is helping give away $3M in free mental health resources to people in need.
Having gone to multiple therapists since deciding to no longer keep his mental battles internal, George is a huge advocate for therapy. This is one of the reasons he decided to partner with BetterHelp on an initiative that is giving up to $3M worth of free mental health services to people in need.
BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform, and through their partnership with athletes like Paul George, Venus Williams, Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Fritz, they are attempting to de-stigmatize mental health, while offering free services to those who need them.
With this partnership offering free therapy opportunities, George expressed his own experiences with therapy, explaining how it helped him find answers he wasn't able to find on his own.
Am I missing something or should it be a bigger story that Chris Paul was just benched in the final 6 minutes of crunch time in the very first game of the season?
Suns lead a furious comeback all throughout the 4th quarter of the game last night. Paul only played 30 minutes and wasn’t in foul trouble. He left the game with 6:41 left and never returned. The Suns went on to complete the comeback and win the game on a Damion Lee fadeaway.
Obviously the decision worked, but I can’t remember someone who’s still considered a star being benched like that in GAME 1 of the season. Chris Paul made All NBA 3rd Team LAST YEAR.
[Howe] There is no QB controversy in New England. When Mac Jones is healthy enough to return to play, he’ll be the starter, per sources. @TheAthletic
[TMZ]: Deshaun Watson found himself in trouble in Ohio just months after he was traded to the Browns ... TMZ Sports has learned he was busted for going 97 MPH in a 70 MPH zone in June.
[Sherman] Everybody said: “Pete Carroll is holding Russ back”. No. They knew him best, they knew how to put him in positions to be successful, they knew when he was struggling, how to get him back into rhythm. That’s what good coaching is. This [Denver] coaching staff doesn’t know how to do that.”

[Siciliano] Tua says he remember everything up to the hit in Cincinnati. He doesn't remember getting carted off. He does have some memories from the ambulance.
[NBA Central] TMZ acquired a picture of James Bouknight passed out in his car with a bag of Doritos and a Glock handgun in his lap before he was arrested for DWI
Not on the approved list so I couldn't directly link, but NBA Central Tweet here and TMZ article here. SMH, Hornets falling apart.
[Chad Graff] I'm new to this but Bill Belichick's mid-week praise heap of the next opponent is incredible. Belichick just spent six minutes talking about how good the Chicago Bears are. "Pretty impressive group," he said. "A lot of explosive plays." (The Bears rank 31st in points/game.)
Russell Wilson’s catchphrase for every team
We already know Denver and Seattle, but I think its time to figure out what his catchphrase would be for every team if he was traded to that team. I’ll start it off with my Jets:
“Jets City, Let’s Fly!”
Anthony Edwards when asked if he was sad he no longer has the chance to dunk on Rudy Gobert. “I’m happy he’s on my team — for his sake”

[Yates] The Chiefs have restructured the contract of All Pro TE Travis Kelce, converting base salary into a signing bonus to clear $3.455M in cap space, per source.
[TMZ] Tom Brady says he's finding it nearly impossible to focus on his personal life half of the year ... explaining he feels like NFL seasons are similar to "going away on deployment for the military."
Celtics medical staff reportedly ensured Robert Williams there is no further risk of worsening the repaired knee, on returning in playoffs. It’s all a matter of pain tolerance. He has since had an arthroscopic surgery, a PRP procedure, and may return in the second half of this season
