I didn’t know this was a thing, but I checked it out and there are eight teams with coaches and players. Some of them even have last names!

I hate to see this. Might give someone the idea he should be president at 79.

“I have no dog in this fight.”

Fair.

...And they just traded for another Isaiah, Isaiah Whitehead, from the Nets, thus ridding themselves of the Manimal and whatever Darrell Arthur’s nickname is. Arthur II: On the Bench, I suspect.

No, but he also didn’t need a wagon to carry his leg around in. Ellington, though, did have his best scoring year last season and is a career 38 percent three-point shooter. That’s a skill that will get you paid; coming off a wrecked hip won’t. 

In fairness, I don’t know that I’d call it a “decline” so much as a “deterioration.” Carmelo declined. This guy hasn’t been able to play at all or has played with a “rehabbed” labrum tear. Let’s give it some time since he finally went under the knife to get it repaired.

I don’t have anything of substance to add here, but which one’s Zan and which one’s Jayna?

“I’ll take Things an Idiot Says for 400, Alex.”

It doesn’t. But it’s also not what we’re talking about. You’re saying it’s no big deal because the rest of the time the owners don’t have any input into players’ activities, but that’s abundantly incorrect. You didn’t know that because “last you checked” you didn’t actually check.

God, update your lingo. “Last I checked” is such a stupid fucking phrase. 

Then you need to check again. NFL player contracts contain a “morals clause” that dictates appropriate off-the-clock behavior and penalties for such behavior. 

He still is the owner, I think. Still kickin’.

Project Contact is a terrible name for a Kermit Washington fake charity. It’s right up there with Face the Future.

Onomatopoeic Congressional Names: Ranked

Her Wrestlemania main event against Charlotte next year is going to be something. Rousey’s limits right now are chain wrestling and the mic, although she’s been better over the past month or so in promos. She can get better at stringing moves together, and that’s really going to help her. There’s no reason to believe…

No, but her psychology is not half-bad. And she either can’t take bumps yet or she can take them really well, because she sold the shit out of Nia. 

This is obviously an aside, but I remember when Sheik and Volkoff were a team and 13-year-old me always had a problem after Volkoff sang the Soviet national anthem and Sheik grabbed to mic to yell, “Iran, number one! Russia, number one!”

Well...I guess someone’s going to be shooting some free throws.

But why would that happen? Everyone in the league knows the Spurs are behind the 8-ball now. They’re trying to get value out of Kawhi, but nobody wants to buy because he’s going to split in a year. The Lakers certainly don’t need to move; they can keep Kuzma and Ingram and if Leonard signs with them next summer it…
