As I watched overtime of Game 7 between the Florida Panthers & Boston Bruins, I found myself bored. Who the hell wants to sit through that shit? The rules of hockey need a complete overhaul. I’m obviously kidding. Game 7 OT playoff hockey is the best theatre in sports. At least for my money it is. However, I turned on ‘Get Up! With Mike Greenberg’ this morning (for some reason)....
In the Tatum/Brown Celtics era, these two franchises have faced off twice in the postseason. The Celtics are 2-0 with a total record of 8-1. By now, we’ve all seen the memes Which brings us to 2023. A look around the landscape of the East tells you just how wide open things are. It’s a nice reminder that in the NBA Playoffs, anyone can be beaten. Is he really hurt?...
One such system is healthcare. 40% off TNW Conference! Researchers used CT scans to develop an AI algorithm using radiomics.

In March, Italy became the first Western country to temporarily ban access to ChatGPT within its borders. These address age verification, transparency, and the rights of users and non-users alike. They also need to specify their birthday on the sign-up page to gain access. This information notice is easily visible both on the log-in and the sign-up page. Besides the age gate,OpenAIhas to introduce an age verification system that prevents minors from using the service....
But that could be about to change: Turkish competitorGetiris in talks to acquire the startup, Financial Timesreports. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. It is yet unclear how much Getir is willing to pay for Flink. This would essentiallygive Getir a monopoly over rapid grocery delivery on the continent. The only other potential competitor is Zapp, but it operates solely in London. Despite its apparent success, Getirs place at the top is anything but secure....
Golf might be the hardest sport to predict. This week’s Vidanta Mexico Open, however, was different. You had two players head and shoulders ahead of the rest. At least on paper. Tony Finau has blossomed into a proper closer in what can only be described as a true plot twist. Those two were the highest-ranked players in the field by a wide marginafter Finau’s pre-tournament ranking of No. 16, the highest-ranked player in the field was world No....
The 2023 NFL Draft is complete! Here are my Draft Grades for all 32 teams. Great job to Cardinals 1st year GM Monti Ossenfort on manipulating the draft board. On the board, LSU EDGE BJ Ojulari should provide some much needed pass rush help. I also like the selection of UCLA G Jon Gaines in the 4th round to help solidify that O-Line. Houston QB Clayton Tune was a savvy pick as Kyler Murray will miss about half the season....
And two days feels like plenty of time. Not giving them a 1400 on their SATs, necessarily. But good enough to make Dean’s List. White’s ability to play outside and inside makes him a typical Patriots defensive line selection. Mapu is yet another New England Day 2 pick that makes casual fans say, “Who?” But I thought he showed real potential as a linebacker/hybrid who will star on special teams....

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out on a spectacular sports Sunday. I think I’ll actually write about sports today. It’s currently 1:21 PM EST. Writer’s Note/Fyre Fest Of The Week - The Knicks/Heat game just finished. The final score is Heat 108, Knicks 101, which makes my prediction very good. But I also could have just changed the time on my laptop. I could easily be lying and you would have no way of knowing....
It’s very simple. You know exactly why this series is more than just a 2nd round matchup. Sure, the players can say stuff like this: Yeah, sure, I get it. There’s their own path. They don’t have the same sort of hate as the 90s. But for anyone else not old enough, sit down. It’s a little Sunday history lesson as to why the Heat can suck our asses. The origin - Pat the Rat...
It had to be some kind of record. Nothing about Day 2 quantity specifically. Felt like a lot. I ain’t gonna lie my brain is COOKED at this point from draft-related things. And below you might find the Day 1 edition of this exercise. Winner: Will Levis (DUH)…andmaybethe Titans? So the Will Levis slide ended in abrupt fashion after only two picks. Started to feel for him when the cameras cut mercilessly to him so often during Thursday’s first round....
Once you get past the initial round, things definitely start to become more real. For others, it presents an opportunity to finally get over the hump. That’s what Round 2 does. It separates the pretenders from the contenders. Just think of what is on the line this round. There’s a world where the MVP of the league doesn’t even make the Conference Finals. There’s another where the overall favorite fails to even make the final four....
