Maybe nobody has a right to keep working in the NFL and if you beat up a woman or a child or kill a bunch of dogs you should just not get to keep that privilege?

It’s almost as if their approach to basketball is getting bail out calls based on rulebook tangents and not, in fact, superior coaching, playcalling, or ability.

The NBA: It’s Waaaaah-tastic.

For a while there, this was also Divine’s whole shtick. 

Well, yes. Although last night and Hack-a-Shaq are very different approaches to playing in close games. I can only think that the players believed they were down one possession going into the DeRozan play. Popovich wouldn’t typically foul down one possession with 30 seconds left.

It’s hard to tell with that angle, but on an in-game replay, it looked like Paul bumped the official on the sideline, which could have drawn the T, even if he didn’t say anything:

He certainly perfected it. The difference is, that only works outside of two minutes of any quarter. Once you intentionally foul someone off the ball inside two, they get one foul shot plus possession. 

The Spurs, in almost every case, don’t intentionally foul inside a minute. This obviously is one of those exceptions, but Popovich traditionally wants to stick with his defense instead of either giving up a foul or worse, giving up free throws. But here, there was no other way to play it. The foul should have come…

“Can beat Trump” is probably the biggest issue for Democrats in 2020. It should be, anyway. Because the economy does not suck and, like it or not, shitbag has yet to drop a nuclear bomb on someone. If you think his immigration policy is going to electrify some great progressive base that sweeps Bernie or Elizabeth…

I’m glad I found this article on the completely safe internet.

The thing my best friend and I do know now amid the “BTW, Pop is God” texts that come up every year is remember the first few years he was coaching. Our stock line was “Anybody can win a title with Tim Duncan.” Of course, nobody can win a title with Anthony Davis, so I’m not sure how accurate that first statement is.

There’s no doubt a lot of Cold War stuff in there between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, which were basically both multinational reflections of U.S. and Soviet posture toward each other. The Truman Doctrine really wasn’t part of the move toward globalization, although the U.N. was a big factor. The Bretton Woods Conference…

Only twice in the past 40 years have more than 50 percent of people under 30 voted in a presidential election. So, all of this seems like optimism and not evidence.

It’s different by degrees; as bad as Donald Trump is, he is nevertheless quite a bit different from Hitler. It’s also different because the world that emerged from the war is vastly different from the one that entered it. Between the two global wars, European colonialism died out and globalism came in. As a result of…

On the other hand, it’s very hard to conceive of a true progressive winning the presidency since it hasn’t happened since 1944. 

The best part of it was it’s the shot he wanted the whole time. Over the best wing defender in basketball, from almost 40 feet away. 

Man, I guess fraternity hazing has always been rough business.

I do that, but I can’t be alone...
