I really think there’s a LOT to be read into that response from Tom Brady to Malcolm Butler’s instagram post, and it connects in to this McDaniels thing. Brady isn’t casually going out of his way to do that without thinking about what it means. He made a statement that the most important player on the team didn’t…

Robert Kraft? Go the fuck away, you horny old frog. Sell this team and spend the rest of your time holding airborne Bon Jovi karaoke orgies.

This is the one time where I could have been a highly competent Saturday Night Live cast member. My Boston And Phuwwy accent charicatures are both world class.

I bet they absolutely anticipated something like this. I mean, this must be a primary thing bailiffs are trained for, but in this circumstance I’m sure they were extra-cognizant.

I like the term “Generally best.”

Now you’re calling Aaron Hernandez an insane monster? He’s dead for Christ’s sake. Let him rest in peace. People like you are the problem with America. Liberal. Abortion. Tax cut.

A review of football in five words: America’s worst version of itself.

My kids can be extremely annoying and terrible at times, and all kids are like that because THEY DON’T FUCKING HAVE FULLY DEVELOPED BRAINS YET.

I said “just the tiniest bit” of Dwight Howard, not that he’s a carbon copy. Just beward. I see signs that the whole act may not always seem so novel and endearing.

This might be the most accurate take.

Being a prick is actually the part he should keep and develop. Bird, Jordan, Isaiah Thomas...these guys were fucking pricks too, and for the most part they channeled it and made it work for them. If Embiid does that it could really be a big asset.

Yeah I agree...that’s why I say “Just a little.” On the worrisome side, it took a while for Howard to become REALLY annoying. There was a time when his game was really strong and the fakeness wasn’t so obvious.

Am I wrong to be concerned that Embiid may have just the tiniest bit of Dwight Howard in him?

Exactly...two all-time great NBA teams. I feel similarly about the later-80s Atlanta Hawks teams. They were even better than the Bucks teams we were talking about...Dominique, Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis, Tree Rollins, Cliff Levingston. In many other time periods, a team that talented would have at least had a couple…

If I had an ounce of energy left in my sould, I would change my screen name to Jim Les Jepsen right now. But my soul is dead. It died the day Les Jepsen hung up his high tops.

Terry Cummings was still pretty fucking good. Those mid-80s Bucks teams with him and Sidney Moncrief were very good...

Wait, the players all share an ass?

To me, enshrining players in the Hall of Fame is the sport’s highest honor. The Hall of Fame is not just a curated collection that acknowledges all parts of the game’s history. I don’t have that much of a problem leaving a player out if, even though he played wonderfully and at a Hall of Fame level on the field, he…

The argument is very, very flawed. It also seems to suggest that we compare Martinez’s numbers to those of other DHs, which we should NOT do. We should compare his numbers to those of all other hitters, and they have to compare favorably to all other hitters by some degree, because Martinez provided neutral defensive…

Designated Hitters should absolutely get full consideration for the Hall of Fame. But their numbers should be judged against (and should compare favorably to) the offensive numbers of all other Hall of Famers, not against the numbers of other Designated Hitters.
