Hot take: Jeff Buckley’s cover of Hallelujah is the definitive. All other versions can go home and take a seat. This one can sit in the cold, dark, moldy basement.

Lawyer here. God yes! Fucking read the contract!!

Fuck these people.

LOL yea. That’s why a lot of professional athletes hate playing in the playoffs. Imagine suffering a career ending injury when you about to be a free agent?

The money is pooled in and then the team splits the money. In 2016 the Cavs got something like $15 million as a team that was split among about 25 people. Teams vote on playoff shares so someone like LeBron might make $900K for the playoffs and a player that was on the team for 5 games in January might get a check…

Had to do something similar for rehab after a car accident. Can confirm: I have no lungs

It’s doesn’t seem dumb at all; that’s a badass fucking workout.

I kept being a Kyrie fan after he said the earth was flat even though I couldn’t stop thinking about it every time I saw him. But fuck this guy. He would have been flailing around with a losing Cleveland team without Lebron. Go ahead and get the fuck out, Kyrie.

Not my best effort but until I can actually use stars for something I don’t give a shit.

Yeah, I started the video hoping it would be obnoxious and mock-worthy, but finished thinking “Damn, I wish I could do that.” A feeling coupled with the realization that all the working out LeBron does seems to work, and that the dude has basically never been seriously injured in his entire career. How are Steph’s…

Thanks! And good luck. (We all need a bit right now.)

The sad truth is, these outlets are willing to lose some readers like you because they’re chasing ad dollars, not views. (I’m an employee of a media company where video has also recently become increasingly desired, so I have some experience with this). This pivot-to-video thing is a byproduct of a much more…

You hit the nail on the head. The shift to video has absolutely nothing to do with what consumers want and everything to do with what the advertisers are asking for - and more importantly, what they are willing to pay for.

But for media organizations, the real customers are the advertisers, not consumers. And I’m guessing video lets the sales team tell advertisers, “See, how our audience ENGAGES with our content across all our platforms? And sponsoring video content and oh so subtly placing your products lets you achieve SEAMLESS BRAND…

Clearly, the PR department had fallen victim to right-sizing, which was necessary so it could be leaner and more agile to meet the demands of the current competitive landscape.

They’re not even doing this right, I haven’t seen the word pivot once.

Do these sites not realize what a huge percentage of their audience comes from bored office workers who may well not be able to watch videos without attracting unwanted attention?

Yeah, Giri you basically nailed it here, but the really understated component of Federer’s career is the extent to which he played Dreamcrusher who laid waste to the legacies of basically multiple generations of tennis stars.

Jesus Christ, Piers Morgan is just a failure of a human being.
