As nicely curated collection of tweets by smart twitter people that was followed by one more the more mealy-mouthed, confused and wannabe “A People’s History of the United States” takes I’ve read in a awhile. Do you honestly believe that there is legitimate and illegitimate anger surrounding our current president? Who…

That first paragraph is in desperate need of editing.  

Eh, fair enough. 

fair.

eh, I think its less than what GS paid to Dump Biendrins and Jefferson and others. I am not going to arguing with you. If you want to be outraged over it, go ahead, I do not think its as bad as the author does. They saved about $24m in luxury penalties. Given that these two were not going to play anyways, its…

Are you a Denver fan? You sound fan level mad is all. The warriors paid more the when they did the Biendrins dump, granted it got them iggy soooo... maybe thats not the best example. 

Oh gosh, so the article is not even accurate. Someone else reminded me that they also dumped Chandler earlier, so its full dump mode. I still think that if you look at previous salary dumps, you will see that this is prob a good deal for the amount they dumped. I do not know if its reasonable to demand a team buy out…

Oh wow, I forgot they moved Chandler. Yea, someone else pointed out my error re the cap/luxury line. Apparently, they do not even have the full exception anymore so the article is not even accurate. I guess, my only response is, when you look at past salary dumps, they got a good deal. If the author thinks salary…

“they’re now $8 million below the tax, with a $6.6 million taxpayer mid-level exception and one open roster spot” is what I was responding to. I have not been following their situation as well as most. You are saying that they are over the cap and below the luxury tax? Ok, they can still use the exception then.

Both of those players were quite butt, odds are that they can replace them with replacement level talent and improve.  

This is a bit overblown. First, it assumes that their only goal is to save money and not to replace those players, who were paid a lot and not core parts of the team, with better players (I think its far more likely that they over pay an average role player with that money). Arthur started one game and averaged 7.4 min…

Eh, Idk. Its not like its his fault that these people live in echo chambers. I was never a big fan of his, but I think the fact that he is still tricking people after all these years demonstrates an incredibly obscure, bizarre, somewhat pointless, yet irrefutably virtuoso talent.

Def more amusing than the time Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Spacey played “What’s in the Box?”

Staten Island is a trash hole with a deeply homogenous culture comprised of, almost entirely, dumb, racist, assholes. I lived there during 9/11 and there was a Sihk collision repair shop near my place that shut down after hordes of locals gathered outside to shout “USA! USA! USA!” for weeks on end. Again, these were…

Yea. I mean, the conversation that no one was really willing to have was that manufacturing jobs would never really return to the US in they way they used to exist. The solution is a living wage and the Dems embraced that, but no one was really saying Trump’s solution was an impossibility. Allowing it to exist in the…

The “Deep State” is absolute BS and the media should be shamed for all the credibility its given to this re-branded conspiracy theory. The Deep State, Illuminati, Free Masons, Rothschilds are all different versions of the same boogie-men concocted by idiots who need to ascribe causality behind things they do not…

Totally. There was a Congressman Peter King  defended Trump’s attempts at undermining and destroying NATO yesterday by describing Europeans as “arrogant.” Talk about a dog-whistle. Like, WTF, now an entire continent’s population can be described as having a singular temperament and that is what we based on our foreign…

Looking for that page in the PA State Trooper rules of engagement that says pursuit via Bulldozer is acceptable.  

As the massive throngs of tourists crowding to take photos of the Wall St. Bull’s testicles and the stores and vendors who exist because of those crowds demonstrate; these type of installations can have an immense economic impact. Generally, those arguments are facile, intellectually dishonest straw-men (pun intended)…

Agreed. A huge assumption in the article is that any of the parties involved have an incentive to maximize the league’s competitiveness.  Its def not the players or teams, and it probably ranks low for the league itself.
