I don't see how the financial implications are a red herring at all. If anything, it's the exact opposite: the team has made unbelievably stupid financial decisions in the recent past, and it's finally made a smart one. Saddling your team with another bloated contract is absolutely not an irrelevant issue.

People are also forgetting that Lin was averaging over 24 minutes/game with a compressed schedule. He was exhausted.

Amazing.

"If" he pans out if a big "if." There's lots of reasons to think he won't even be as solid as he was this year through an entire regular season — his production really started to plummet at the end of the year, especially when he was playing against good teams like Miami.

...you're seriously mad the Knicks didn't give a player who's started a handful of games an absurd contract? Is this real life? Am I taking crazy pills? This is the most financially intelligent decisions the Knicks have made in, I don't know, like, ever?

What's not to understand? The advantages given through Lasik are in no way comparable to the advantages achieved through using PEDs such as steroids. I don't see how that point can even be argued, to be blunt. What is your argument for them being comparable? I'm just not seeing it.

You're being very broad in what you consider a performance enhancement, though. By the same token, you could say whey protein is a performance enhancer as the protein it contains helps muscles recover quicker and improve their fibers.

There are some MASSIVE differences in the comparisons you're making. I mean, really — comparing corrective eye surgery to a perfectly common vision quality to entire leg replacements to something that is found nowhere in humans? I can understand the argument as to how acceptable it becomes, but that's an…

This was this year's Tron Legacy moment: surprise footage that got everyone talking for days afterwards.

Depends on your definition of "close." By most definitions, however: a long, long time. She was fast, but that 100-meter was wind-aided at the very least. Just look at video of it and you can see massive wind gusts.

Co-sign what you said. Not even by Bolt, IMO.

Did you see his 200-meter world record? He ran through the line and demolished the old world record.

Why does London matter when we've already seen him in action? It's not really a fair comparison to make, though, since we can't compare him to any sort of baseline (him with legs, I mean). Comparing him to other athletes doesn't prove anything.

To take things out of context and just answer the headline, no. Not even remotely. As the article points out, we're going to constantly get new technology to help us. Track spikes are going to keep getting lighter and be designed with new insights in mind, and modern tracks are far more beneficial to runners than the…

That would only make it that much better.

I'm still not sure how I like the future setting, but I'll hold out hope. I wasn't a big fan of the mafia-esque Observers personally, but I do like that we're finally going to get the Observers versus us.

It kind of makes me want to see them just act out entire episodes live.

I hated Firefox's old version, but the beta is fantastic — easily my favorite Android browser. It may not have all the features of the others, but in terms of browsing it's the hands-down winner for me.

Here's what I love about Blomkamp: he's more than willing to legitimately tackle the issue of inequality (racial, socioeconomical or otherwise) without beating around the bush. It's not that he's going to drown the movie in these overtones if District 9 was any indication, but that he creates an environment that's…

Not everyone is cut out to post on the Internet either, but I ain't being a jerk to you about it.
