This is why we can’t have nice things.
Nike just released its NBA ‘City Retro’ alternate jerseys and fans are not impressed.
The jerseys that look like somebody got high and delved into a version of Windows 2000 MS Paint will be part of the NBA’s upcoming “In-Season Tournament” that nobody asked for and include these jerseys that also nobody cares about.
LET’S TAKE A LOOK

CITY RETRO JERSEYS ARE AWFUL
I didn’t mind when the NBA initially launched the third alternate jerseys but we’ve now gone so far beyond that.

Jimmy Garoppolo has had a tough week, as the Raiders benched him for Aiden O’Connell following the team firing coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. The regime change probably marks the end of the Garoppolo era in Las Vegas, just halfway into his first season with the organization.
What makes this week even more difficult for Garoppolo is that he turns 32 years old on Thursday. Despite the quarterback getting benched and all the upheaval in Las Vegas, the Raiders posted a “Happy Birthday” message on social media for the veteran.

1. Urban Meyer, the man who coached Aaron Hernandez at Florida and the man who didn’t last a full season in the NFL after going 2–11 and getting caught up in an off-the-field scandal, has figured out who the real enemy is in the alleged Michigan cheating saga: the media. 
Of course.
Apparently there is a show called Urban’s Take With Tim May and on a recent episode, Meyer spoke about the allegations that Michigan has been involved in stealing the signs of their opponents. Here’s what Meyer had to say.
“I’ve been asked over 100 times to comment on it and I just won’t.

College football is built on storylines, memories, and drama and all three of those factors are created by the die-hard fans spread all over the country. In most cases, those fans have a good bit of delusion instilled in them and it’s that delusion that makes the college game so great.
By now you’ve likely listened to the back-and-forth between Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and ‘Tyler from Spartanburg’ who questioned Swinney’s worth and ability to coach.

The 2023-24 NFL season has reached its halfway point and during the past eight weeks, a prevalent storyline is the poor quality of officiating. 
Questionable calls have outraged coaches. Former players have decried how badly that subpar officiating has impacted games. Rules analysts are struggling to explain decisions from their previous colleagues. And the league itself is increasingly defensive over penalties (or non-penalties) that have puzzled media and fans.

The 76ers’ trade that sent James Harden to the Clippers had to feel like a weight lifted on the franchise’s shoulders. But while it may clear up the issue of figuring out how to use a disgruntled star, there’s still a possibility the franchise could face another huge issue in the near future—a potential Joel Embiid trade request.
If the 76ers are unable to maximize the assets acquired in the Harden trade, and they suffer another early playoff exit, Embiid could ask for a trade prior to next season, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The 76ers won their fourth straight game against the Raptors north of the border over the weekend and now the four-game season series shifts to the City of Brotherly Love.
Toronto is on the second night of a back-to-back, having just blown out Milwaukee, while Philadelphia had three full days of rest since its last game, a huge win over Portland in its home opener. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are both off to a scorching start to the season with averages of 31 and 30.3 points per game, respectively.

For his present as much as his past, Bruce Bochy has cemented himself in the pantheon of Hall of Fame managers.
