Sam Hinkie is the 'smoking gun' who tipped off the Ringer about Bryan Colangelo's burner accounts

A Twitter egg tipped off the ringer, which people actually think this is now Sam Hinkie that tipped him off. I think it is... Sam Hinkie definitely has a smoking gun here, right?

While never definitively proven, investigative reports later suggested the tip came from a person using data analysis techniques, but Hinkie denied involvement. The burners themselves were eventually linked to Colangelo's wife.

Getting an honorary doctorate makes JJ Watt think he's an actual medical doctor

JJ Watt thinks that getting an honorary doctorate makes him an MD. He's actually a doctor now... He literally thinks that he can go and operate on someone. When he's next on a plane and someone has a stroke or a heart attack, 'Is there a doctor on this plane?' JJ's like, 'Yes, that's me.'

JJ Watt was awarded an honorary doctorate but it does not confer medical credentials.

A Sixers insider created the burner accounts to get Bryan Colangelo fired so LeBron James would sign

I think someone inside the Sixers organization created these accounts to get rid of Bryan Colangelo so that LeBron would come to the Sixers... I think someone in the Sixers organization did it so that they could fire him, and LeBron would be like, 'All right, that asshole's gone. I'm coming to the Sixers.'

Investigation found the accounts were linked to Colangelo's wife, though he ultimately resigned.

The Celtics are resetting this season to target Nikola Jokic in 2027

I think the Celtics are basically saying this year we're resetting and then next year maybe Jokic could definitely be in the be in the realm of possibility.

This is a long-term prediction for the 2027 offseason.

The Kawhi Leonard era with the Clippers was an absolute failure

The Clippers Kawhi era is maybe the most unforgettable or or forgettable, I'm sorry, era of all time. Like they did nothing. Just an absolute tease.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's tenure with a team.

France is playing the World Cup on 'easy mode' and looks unstoppable

France is just playing on easy mode. Like they're not even trying and they're just dummying people... France could have played with nine guys and they probably would've won that game.

This is a subjective observation of a team's dominance.
