I can't believe professional bowling has a giant bracket tournament going on the same time as #MarchMadness and it's displayed as a hard to read PDF on the official pba.com site ... scores.bowl.com/2026masters/...
Folks, the incredible @atifmyers.bsky.social episode of Jeff Has Cool Friends is up on my Patreon, and it's one of the geekiest dorkfests in the shows history. It rules. Go listen to it!

Sean Connery voice: “losers always whine about their Best! Winners go to Liverpool and recruit Ringo Starr!”
The Beetles literally had the best drummer and went for an upgrade.
Henry Ford is so wild in that had he "retired young" his overall image would have been better, but when they ruled that a CEO giving dividends to employees not shareholders was bad for publicly traded companies, it was pretty much all over.
Employees < investors sucks :(
www.patreon.com/posts/153201... @heytherejeffro.bsky.social and I are recording the last episode of this season's Nerd! on "Clerks: TAS" and also have a vote for members, so you should check that out!
As we get further away from it, I believe Yamamoto’s 2025 World Series will end up being considered the greatest pitching performance of the generation
I mean, in regards to this story @wagesofwins.bsky.social legit has the receipts ... www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/...
And worth noting Dave's been called as special witness on sports cases and other reporters, just not sports specific ...
Isiah Thomas a player refused to shake hands with MJ and the Bulls after a playoffs loss. Then got upset he was left off the Dream Team -- which he had no business on anyway -- and then as a coach got upset Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets were scoring on the Knicks when they were losing!
Sports in general are silly about etiquitte rules (don't get me started baseball)
But Basketball's lionization of "killer instinct" "win no matter what" attitude of player's like Kobe and MJ mixed with "It's rude to run up the score!" behavior is hilarious.
www.sports-reference.com/stathead/bas... first, @basketball-reference.com and @stathead.com are the best.
Second, it's wild that Bam Adebayo's prior points high was 41, and he had both more FGA and FTA in his 83 point game than that!
. @slatron.bsky.social is one of the creatively talented people I know - mikeslater.com (Check his work out here), so I don't know what it says that the sentence "Lyta wears a headband" is, to me, one of the most hilarious things he's produced as a result of our Babylon 5 collaboration.
www.patreon.com/posts/you-go... Happy Sunday! @johnnyrimes.bsky.social joined @slatron.bsky.social and myself to discuss a key episode of Babylon 5. It was hard to get past gross alien ears though!
I think we 100% have something with me getting you to guess NBA players! May have to make it a prepared segment!
SEE! Also, here were original clues:
1. Was the passer for the infamous Chris Laettner shot.
2. Associated with Detroit - @slatron.bsky.social was painting a Bill Laimbeer card.
3. Played for Phoenix.
4. Sprite? C'mon Sprite has to give it away, right?
No one's gotten it yet. My word clues:
1. Last name is geological formation.
2. First name relates to "Stocks"
3. Word association - "Pell" for first name "Bunny" for last name.

Got into basketball blogging in 2009 thanks to @wagesofwins.bsky.social And having almost 20 years doing it, I do have to chuckle that "Tanking" and "Flopping" come up so often as "ruining the league", which they'd been doing for 20 years before I started, and have been doing so for 20 years since!
Was trying to get a friend to guess a famous basketball player's name - he missed all the easy clues (I'll put those soon, level mode easy) so I gave him word clues. I won't say those, but here were his guesses:
- Johny Stalagmite
- Bank Volcano
- La Easter
Can you guess the player from that?
He has his own money!
“My son works?!”
Jokic passing is though one of the great sports skills in history,
Darkstalkers (1995) is the worst thing we've ever covered on NERD! @nerdnumbers.com and I watched 5 1/2 hours of the most fumbled bag in animation history.
Listen to this show, do NOT, under any circumstances, watch the cartoon.
(Just type "Jeff Has Cool Friends" wherever you listen to pods!
It’s not that hard of a thesis to say Hulk Hogan and Ronald Reagan are basically the same. A super power icon in the 80s that is somehow still remembered fondly despite basically destroying an entire infrastructure.
"How to use a podcast to get a quick creativity coaching session" - Alternate title for most recent Babylon 5 episode @slatron.bsky.social and I did with the amazing @hanamichels.bsky.social, who had some great comments on creativity and coaching.

Air Bud should do like Jim Carrey and try some serious roles. Twelve Angry Air Buds, What’s Eating Gilbert Air Bud, Rambo: First Bud, you get the idea.
