Why are these whites so salty?

Holy shit, you’re not kidding! In their 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals win over the Knicks, Smit—er, the Dutchman’s 22.6 ppg tied Reggie Miller for top overall scorer in the series...and he did it while shooting 60% from the field. Against Ewing! Damn impressive, and I had no idea NYK brought forth The Beast…

Sorry about the dumping thing, amigo. Sometimes, we meet people who still have some serious lessons they need to learn, the hard way. When that happens, all you can do is let the trajectory of that need take them outside of your orbit, and remember that (1) you can’t learn those lessons for them, and (2) you…

Rik Smits beats both if you ask me, just for his glorious blonde mullet.

Yikes! When I said “bad source material to work with,” I meant the Bible itself (which is, as you know, chock full of awful things attributed to the Almighty). I wasn’t trying to slam your comment, and I should have made that clearer. No, I just saw all the fun you were having, and wanted to jump in on that…

Pshhh it’s not like he drowned the whole world, then followed up with a promise to choose a different medium for His next world-murder, or invited the FUCKING DEVIL to make life hell for His own #1 stan, just for a Mortimer Duke-like wager, or asked commanded someone His first major business partner to kill his son,…

Oh, Whiskeyprayer, you were so, so close. Your invocation of “Pretty Boy Floyd” was insightful, but you missed a chance to follow up Ms. Gold’s mention of the Cure with your own rhyme about Echo and the Bunnymen.

You’re right I am not giant lizard, I giant monster :)

Hey now, don’t be so hard on yourself. Sure, you’ve knocked a few buildings down, but that doesn’t make you a monster.

Damnit, HamNo, even when you lose money on a fight that ended with an undeniably legit low-blow controversy (and that does mean controversy, as opposed to a fight that ends with/hinges on a Golota-style reversion to the Caveman Cockpuncher ur-style that’s tattooed into human DNA, or a choreographed Feast of the Ears…

I’m without hyperbole when I say that this is the most beautiful thing I’ve read in days. Hearts and wills are too often left empty, of late... But I’m not empty after reading this. Instead, I am filled with great admiration for your grandfather for, well, everything about him. I’m also full of gratitude to you for…

I aspire towards Stoncilhood in all things. I will never achieve it, of course, but there is Rightness in the attempt.

As a Lakers fan, the only bright side to the Warriors’ continued dominance has been the fact that West is still The Man.

Hah! I’ve literally served time for this fetish, so hello!

Popular take, but I’m not feeling it. Then again, I’ve always had a weakness for damaged redheads...

Oh, I get that .41 seconds is a long time in T&F. Four years is a long time, too. Like the (almost) 4 years it took for someone to better that 10.1 seconds he ran in 1956!

I know incremental bits of time are huge in track, but when Americans have only been able to shave .41 seconds off of the 100m time you set 61 years ago, you know you’re hella good. This man should be holding his head high for as long as he walks the earth. I’m glad you got to catch up with him!
