Burner account or not, Kevin Durant is bitter, petty and entirely relatable
The future Hall of Famer’s behavior over the years has been rash and erratic. But it’s understandable given the scrutiny he finds himself under
They’re calling the posts the “KD Files”. There’s no definitive proof that Kevin Durant is the man behind the X account @gethigher77 (display name: getoffmydickerson), but if he isn’t, somebody has done a phenomenal impersonation. In various screenshots splashed across the internet, getoffmydickerson took shots at Durant’s teammates, as the player himself has done before. There was also creative and amusing trash talk, something Durant has shown a talent for. Some of it crossed the line: the account made a reprehensible joke about supplying drones (Durant invests in the company Skydio, which has provided the Israel Defense Forces with weapons) and called Durant’s teammate Jabari Smith Jr “retarded”. When asked about @gethigher77, Durant said, “I’m not here to get into Twitter nonsense” – far from a denial that he was behind it, and in the eyes of many, confirmation that he was. We’ve got people writing in-depth proofs that the account is real.
Not that getoffmydickerson is Durant’s only problem. Shortly after the tweets blew up, Boardroom, which defines itself as a “sports, media, and entertainment brand” co-founded by Durant and his agent Rich Kleiman, laid off three of its staff writers, rationalizing the move as part of a pivot to video. (An aside: what’s the point of having career earnings of half a billion dollars if you’re not willing to invest some of it to protect your media company from financial headwinds?)

Clubs in favour say squads of 28 would reduce injury risk
Critics fear move would deepen hoarding of top talent
Elite clubs are lobbying Uefa to expand the size of Champions League squads to 28, arguing it would reduce the risk of injuries. The calls have come at the highest level of the European game and prompted fears that it would deepen the hoarding of top talent.
At a meeting of Uefa’s club competitions committee (CCC) last month, clubs argued that the cap of 25 players should be increased. It is not a view shared by all 16 clubs represented on the CCC, with some strongly against expansion.

Formula 1 has extended its broadcasting agreement with Kayo Sports, and the decision isn’t going down well with Australian fans.
Foxtel first secured the F1 rights back in 2015, which brought an end to free-to-air coverage. The company later launched its streaming service, Kayo Sports, in 2018.
The initial deal was renewed in 2022 through to the end of 2026. Now, just before this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix, both sides have announced that the partnership will be continuing into 2027 and beyond.
Kayo Sports deal extension disappoints Australian F1 fans
The official F1 Media account announced the news on X, but Australian fans didn’t hold back in the comments.
One person said: “Nooooooooo. We wanted Apple TV.”
Apple recently picked up the rights to show F1 in the United States, using F1TV coverage.
Others complained about the price, with one calling Kayo ‘prohibitively expensive’ and another saying the ‘exorbitant’ packages made it ‘impossible’ for younger fans to start watching the sport.
A basic Kayo plan is $29.99 a month, while premium is $45.99. Another person predicted: “Another price hike coming soon.”
Others chimed in with comments like ‘worst possible decision, should go to Apple TV or Stan’ and ‘well that’s ruined my day’. It’s worth noting that the Australian GP will continue to be shown for free by Network 10.
Fans’ claims of Sky Sports bias led Kayo Sports to add F1TV option
Kayo Sports added an F1TV commentary option for the last four races of the 2025 season. Up until then, they had only carried the Sky Sports UK feed, but the change gave viewers a new audio choice for Sunday’s coverage.
The move came after some fans accused David Croft and Martin Brundle, the main Sky commentary duo, of showing bias toward British driver Lando Norris over teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri.
Croft has maintained ties with Mark Webber, suggesting there was no real issue from Piastri’s side.
Brundle has been open about his view that Piastri needs to get better on low-grip circuits if he wants to win a title, calling his 2025 campaign “partly painful, partly brilliant.”

Chris Sutton heaps incredible praise on title contenders
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has heaped remarkable praise on Motherwell, claiming they are the most impressive team he has watched anywhere in Britain this season…

The ex-Hoops forward, who now works as a pundit on both sides of the border, says the Steelmen’s dynamic approach under Jens Berthel Askou has left a lasting impression. Sutton believes the Dane has masterminded one of the most eye-catching transformations of the campaign.
Motherwell under Askou have rewritten the record books. Their 21st clean sheet of the season at the weekend against Dundee United set a new club record that rivals some of Europe’s elite. Incredibly, their back line has shipped fewer goals than the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich this season.
At the other end of the pitch, Tawanda Maswanhise has been equally influential. The in-form forward leads the Premiership scoring charts with 16 league goals and 21 across all competitions, spearheading a Motherwell side currently sitting fourth in the table.
They trail the Hoops by just two points and are 10 behind leaders Hearts, while holding a game in hand against Dundee which will be played at the weekend.
Asked on Sky Sports how far Motherwell could go, Sutton delivered a glowing assessment of their prospects. “I wouldn’t rule Motherwell out,” he said.
“Motherwell have been the best team, and I really mean this, the best team I’ve seen this season, north and south of the border.”
“I think that they have a phenomenal coach, and for him to come up here, with the style that he has them playing – they have been an absolute joy to watch.”
“I really wouldn’t rule them out, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they went to Celtic Park in a couple of weeks and got a result there. They have been that good. I don’t think any team enjoys playing against Motherwell.”
