3pm kickoff confirmed. Sorry rugby!

For those interested, Judgement is on sale on XBox for just £10/$12, I've swooped in to pick it up. In Infinite Wealth news:

The end to the Knicks/Sixers game was crazy, what was most baffling was how Maxey didn't want the final shot and just handed it off to Embiid with no time left to shoot. An who doesn't like the Lakers giving up a 20 point second half lead? Two endings like that out of three games is great, it's a shame the Magic have decided not to show up to the Playoffs though. Their offense has been atrocious.

I was so looking forward to the potential cameos and jokes I forgot that the film needed a plot, and it appears to have one, which is nice. The fight scenes look outstanding, but the last part of the trailer concerns me - the "Blind Al loves cocaine" joke has gone from sight gag in the first film, to being specifically referenced in the second film, to now being hammered home into the viewers face to the point it isn't funny. Hopefully that's just a one-off though.

I think the main factor for the age rating is that they're being more specific with Magneto's backstory than they were allowed to be in the original series, and anything Nazi related (even if just by insinuation) immediately gets flagged to increase the rating.

Forest are now backing away from their initial claims about Attwell which is either damage limitation, or their social media team acted, perhaps on the instruction of someone higher up, without considering the implications of such a statement.

I think it's a bit much for Clattenberg to talk about fairness when he was openly hostile against Viper throughout the series of Gladiators.

Utterly brutal.

One toenail. I fear that the emotional blow of that will affect the shoot-out. Or maybe the first penalty from United will be a piece of garbage.

Whoops, wrong one.

Well damn. Ant just showed the world what a player he is.

Because I have a deadly combination of free time, a border-line crippling dose of social anxiety, and a bizarre love of statistics, I've spent all season doing my own daily stats to find my own MVP based purely on statistics and visibility. Every player who plays more than 15 minutes in a game gets a score. The score is based mainly on the standard box score statistics, but there are extra bonus points for having the highest score on the team, and the highest score in the match, as well as getting a score over 50, 100 and 150. For every day there are higher bonus points for getting the highest score of the day, the highest score per minutes played, the most points, the most assists, the most rebounds and the combined highest steals and blocks. I won't bore you with any more details, but here are the top 10 players with the highest overall score for the season: 1. Nikola Jokic - 994.9 2. Luka Doncic - 992.81 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo - 885.81 4. Anthony Davis - 628.15 5. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - 613.63 6. Joel Embiid - 575 7. Victor Wembanyama - 558.18 8. Damontas Sabonis - 525.4 9. Tyrese Haliburton - 412.2 10. Jalen Brunson - 385 Most days with the most points scored - Luka Doncic Most days with the most rebounds - Damontas Sabonis Most days with the most assists - Tyrese Haliburton Most days with the most blocks/steals - Victor Wembanyama Most days with the highest score - Luka Doncic Most days with the highest score per minute - Giannis Antetokounmpo Jokic may not have won any of those awards, he got more player of the team and player of the game bonus points than Doncic, the last of which let him overtake Doncic on the final game when Doncic was rested by the Mavericks. Just for my own entertainment, here's every team's leading player:

Eddie Hearn has now come out and said how snooker "must "embrace" investment from different parts of the globe" and "Snooker does not need to just have to land in the UK or China", which he may as well have said whilst wearing a thawb and waving a Saudi flag.

"That concludes the draw for the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. The ties will be played over the weekend of the 15th to the 23rd of January."

There was something funny about how the Sixers were playing like garbage until two missed Heat free-throws won the whole arena free chicken, and that somehow made the team wake up and they went on a tear. The Bulls/Hawks result seemed like winning to get a chance to lose to the Heat, but Butler may be out which opens things up a bit. Not that he did much of note during the regular season, so maybe the Heat will be fine without him.

I'm genuinely interested to see if Belichick will be as monotone and unforthcoming as he was a head coach now he's working for the media, the people he hated so much for all those years. That said, as I'll be working on the Friday, I'll be recording the draft and fast-forwarding most of the panel discussion.

It's essentially the same as having the Darts World Championship not played at Alexandra Palace or the Lakeside, or even the Masters not being played at Trump National instead of Augusta. That said, I fully expect the Snooker World Championship to move abroad, the Hearns have been far more active in trying to move tournaments to China in the Middle East for snooker than they have for darts, and already have a track record from their boxing promotion. The atmosphere would be terrible between frames, but that would likely be ignored as it's also a game that's predominantly silent to begin with. And as we see more and more every year, tradition and history are easily out-weighed by money and more money.

Time to piss off my fellow Spurs fans... Blue shorts are back!

As Dele pointed out, none of them were squabbling over getting to take the high-pressure penalty against Man Utd last week, but when it's 4-0 suddenly everyone wants to be the hero.

Well we're 0-3 against them this season, including getting massacred by them at home last night, so let's say I'm not expecting much.

Crazy to see how close the Western Conference is at both the top, and the play-off/play-in places. It's making it very difficult to me to know who are going to knock out the Wolves in the first round. I'm going to assume it will be the Lakers.

I was planning to stay out of 97 until I'd finished the original series, but I couldn't keep away any longer and watched all 5 episodes today.

I still think Antonelli might get a year at Williams first, but I say that with no answer to who would get the Mercedes seat instead. Based on how Fernando's past decisions have worked out, particularly involving Honda, I think we can use this as evidence that Aston Martin will not be competitive in 2026.

Even if your wish was guaranteed, I would fight this with every ounce of strength in my body! The Gladiator is always on the right, from Season 1 to Season 8, the Sky seasons, and eventually the BBC when they changed it back halfway through this season. They took away the Duel music, don't take this from me as well!

From a former Heavyweight champion being a hero to the current one being a dick, Jon Jones has been arrested (again), this time for threatening drug testers who came to his house for a mandatory drug test.
