This is exactly what I think has happened, and if so, that’s hilarious.

It was also a line on 960 literally 1 hour before that (and there's no way Francis isn't listening to the show).

Probably true. But Scorpion gets his material from Reddit.

If he actually got material from here it would be a significant improvement.

It is a testament to the quality of this site that so many media members are quick to draw material from CP. I'm all for it.

random mid sentence period and you speak of the quality of this site. Not with sloppy posts like this. Disgusting.

I see your random mid-sentence period charge and raise you a careless want for capitalisation to start the sentence.

Not sure if any new coaching staff is going to get more mileage out of that roster. I think they overachieved last year if anything.

It's also entirely possible that multiple people are capable of simultaneous original thought.

Simultaneous and original typically excludes 'identical.'

This is where I first read it (you can see on December 10 he first tweeted about 4 coaching changes before DeBoer got fired yesterday).

Yeah, and TBF I think it was clear in 960 this morning they were quoting a tweet. The difference is Francis then tweets like he came up with it. If I were a generous person I'd say coincidence. I'm not.
