For real, though: if you think James Harden is a more boring option to start the All-Star game than Kobe fucking broke-ass Bryant, and that the NBA is more boring when we finally, blessedly, don't have to pay anymore attention in the 2014-15 season to Kobe fucking broke-ass Bryant, you shouldn't write about…

MODELO! Yes! A few friends pointed this out to me over Labor Day weekend, and it is now my go-to "How much beer we planning on drinking?" beer. Nothing beats it. I paid that forward with some guys on a bachelor party in New Orleans in October.

As first-time expecting parents, we're used to dealing with apocalyptic messages from people at this point. You wouldn't believe how freely people use their own experiences to claim a universal wisdom about child-bearing (something actual experts in the field don't necessarily do). Or maybe you would. You sound…

We do have lovely memories. I remember them often.

So I've heard. It's not just the sex life, of course. It's the physical contact in general. We're just hoping for the best, really.

The miracle of life.

Oh, believe me: we've already worked out a fleet of sitters. She hates this as much as I do, and we're both in the bunker mentality now but ready to resume something halfway (a quarter?) resembling our previous relationship as soon as possible (many more months down the line, I'm sure).

I've heard that. Not my experience this time around. The human body is an amazing thing.

My wife and I got pregnant within a couple months of trying. There's that brief period where she pulls the goalie and her body has to reset itself prior to being fertile and we can just plow away, but it felt like as soon as it was good, BANG, bun in the oven.

People who want to sound like they know what they're talking about but aren't actually interested in knowing those things. Wall Street/hedge fund dipshits and bitter old fuckers, mostly. And keep in mind, FBN's also got blondes and outrage, and these with the veneer of being super serious business people.

His kid was going to get waived and become an NBA vagabond in addition to a failed lottery pick. Now, the smart money would've said "Wait for him to get waived and sign him on the cheap", at which point they'd only have to waive one guy off the end of their bench to pull it off, but I'm sure Doc's wife politely asked…

Let me help you out with that:

Hold up a second:

Should've never made that trade. Love's gone next year, no question, and Wiggins would've been a great compliment to 'Bron and Irving.

They hired him before Lebron came back, when they figured he'd have a few years to work on how his coaching style would translate in the NBA in a low-pressure environment with a team full of young projects and a wide-open future led by Kryie and Wiggins.

In fairness, he was drafted by Milwaukee and then traded to Detroit. Well, "traded" is a bit soft...more like "Sent Overnight Express Mail with Delivery Confirmation, We Don't Care What It Costs, Get Him The Fuck Out Of Here" to the Pistons.

So then, with the Knicks embracing tanking, can we all agree that, in lieu of any other option, it's a decent plan of action when it comes to team-building? There's no way they'd have blown things up this catastrophically if they didn't have their pick this year, so enough already.

Like you said, though: it's two other people's first-round picks, and the Cavs have now traded the last two #1 overall picks and the 2012 #4 overall pick to get their current roster in fighting shape, so they don't appear to give much of a shit about the draft at this point. These deals were like walking up to a…

Kevin Love is an All-Star and a very, very good player, but Cleveland should not have traded for him. The Cavs long-term vision was better served with letting Andrew Wiggins grow into the Scottie Pippen role and giving Anthony Bennett another year or two to see if he could grow into a capable swing-forward, while…
