“Seriously, how does this guy still have a job?”

Look at me, all “renowned” and shit.

Leave me alone. Currently, the only vagina I get is online.

Thomas’ ceiling is much higher than Lin’s. Maybe he never comes close to that again, but he was a legit MVP candidate in 2017, and he’s averaged 22 and 6 in three playoff campaigns. MCW is in the last year of a cap-friendly deal. Let’s see what happens to him next summer. He may even be a salary counterweight in a…

A guy. To remember.

There are more guys who fit that description than roster spots.

Thanks! It’s the only sport I know anything about. 

I think it had more to do with nobody knowing his tendencies when he started for a shipwrecked Knicks team with nothing to lose. He played great, but he regressed to the mean and was then and always was going to be a bench guy who might get hot once in a while, but even when he did, it only meant he was instant…

Well, at this point, and especially coming off I think an ACL injury, he’s a locker room leader and that’s about it. And he may have been able to get slightly larger contracts from other teams in the past but liked his situation and stayed loyal to Dallas, so they’re rewarding him this year. When I made the initial…

For him, yeah. But the market for a lot of NBA players is if they can’t get starter money here, they go abroad. So it’s even more common when you can’t find a place at all.

Barea does keep getting contracts — he’s been a free agent five times in 13 years — but he keeps getting picked up in Dallas because he has a very specific need he fills for the Mavs. He’s that guy for them, and of course, they’ve been a very stable organization for a bunch of years and don’t switch styles of play and…

Probably, J.J. Barea would get no article. 

He’s perfectly serviceable, as you say. But can we just leave it at that? Per 36, his productivity is essentially identical to J.J. Barea’s. That’s decent, but he’s playing overseas, like a lot of guys do when they can’t start in the NBA. It’s no cause for an elegy of what might have been, especially when what was…

“Of course he didn’t know that would happen. We’re shocked that people think Bill Belichick could somehow see into the future.”

Timm Rosenbach retired from the Cardinals at 24 to become a rodeo cowboy. Somehow, that was a safer option for him.

I used to work with Chuck Powell, who now hosts a sports show in Seattle. When he was here in Phoenix he told me the story of the Cardinals drafting quarterback Kelly Stouffer sixth overall (!) in the 1980s. Apocryphal or not, the story goes that one of the beat writers in the media room yelled, “Oh my god, they…

This aged well!

“The Lions won the NFL championship three times between 1952 and 1957. Since then, 18 head coaches have guided them into this never-ending pit of despair.”

The Oakland Raiders: 40 percent of a football team on 80 percent of a football field.

Sleep can go to hell at midnight? What, 12:45 is just that unwieldy?
