LThe NBA just brought back Dunk Score for this season, and the top five slams are already live on the league's site.
MDunk Score. They grade takeoff distance, vertical, defensive contest—like a report card for a poster.
LGive me all of it. A dunk can be nasty, but I want to know how nasty.
MIf you need a formula to tell you a forty-inch dunk on a seven-footer was nasty, I don't know what to tell you.
LNo, no—it separates the highlight from the HIGHLIGHT. A clean lane dunk is not a contested finish over two guys.
MSo you want a spreadsheet attached to every rim? That's not basketball, that's fantasy camp.
LI want the NBA to quantify dominance. More data makes the game better.
MFine. But if Wemby isn't in the top five, the formula's broken.
LOh, he's probably three of the five. The league posted the top five so far, and I'm already mad at the snub potential.
MThis is why you'd be a terrible dunk judge. You'd hand out a nine-point-five for a layup if the math was clean.
MSpeaking of platforms, Midwestern Uncle on X says don't be afraid to write him in on a ballot.
MHis list: college football conferences back to two thousand nine, sixty-four-team March Madness, ban NFL international games, primetime kickoff permanently at seven-fifteen Eastern, and federal McDonald's price controls.
LI'm not saying I'd write him in, but I'm not not saying it.
MYou cannot be serious. Federal price controls on McDonald's—
LThe rest of the platform is perfect! College conferences back to two thousand nine? Yes. Ban international games? Absolutely.
MOkay, I'll give you conferences—realignment is a crime against geography. But price controls?
LI didn't say I'd vote for that plank. I said the rest is perfect.
MHe's running as a package! Write him in means you get the whole menu, including the government setting the price of your Big Mac.
LAnd what's wrong with a two-dollar Big Mac?
MWhat's wrong? Shortages, lines, black-market McRibs. That's what's wrong.
LOh, come on. The guy's obviously joking. You're the one taking it too seriously.
MI'm not taking it seriously, I'm saying it's a funny bit until you realize some people actually think price controls work.
LOkay, then tell me this: banning NFL international games—why do you hate that?
MI don't hate it. But the league is a business. They're not giving up London and Germany money.
LThey're giving up home fans. A team in Jacksonville shouldn't give up a home game to play in Munich.
MFans in Munich buy jerseys too. That's the whole point of growing the game.
LSo a fan in Jacksonville loses a Sunday because a fan in Munich might buy a jersey? That's backwards.
MIt's not backwards, it's expansion. You sound like a college AD who misses the Wing-T.
LI miss kickoff at seven-fifteen Eastern. You know I'm right about that one.
MSeven-fifteen Eastern is undefeated. I'll give you that.
LAnd sixty-four-team March Madness? Don't expand the bracket. We already have play-in games.
MI actually agree. But that's two of five. The federal McDonald's price control kills the whole ticket.
LFine. I'd write him in anyway, just to see the press conference.
MSo you'd write in a guy whose entire economic plan is a McDouble cap?
LI'd write him in for the chaos, and then we'd finally get seven-fifteen kickoff.
MUnbelievable.
LOne more from college football—CFB Junkies on X says Wake Forest has quietly become one of the biggest success stories of the season.
MWake Forest? The team that lost to Miami?
LThe post says aside from a surprisingly competitive loss to Miami, they've looked dominant, and they won on the road at then-number-sixteen Louisville.
MAt Louisville? That's a real win if true.
LThat's the thing—this is a claim from a fan account. I can't confirm 2026 results, so treat it like a hot take, not a record.
MIf they beat a ranked Louisville on the road, they're not a story, they're a problem.
LThey'd be a problem for the rest of the ACC, but I want to see the actual résumé before I call them a success story.
MYou're just skeptical because it's a fan account. That board is loud for a reason.
LLoud doesn't mean verified. I'll believe Wake at number sixteen when I see it from a real source.
MFine. But respect the buzz. CFB Junkies called it quietly—quiet wins are still wins.
