This is pretty fucked up. I know it’s funny to laugh at what an asshole Pitino apparently is, but this is a microcosm of how insane the athletics situation is at most universities, and one reason they soak students and deprive professors to keep the sports money train rolling. This cocksucker can’t be bothered to…

Stay-at-home dad here. Mom’s the breadwinner, but I can still work part-time thanks to a bit of help from the grandparents with a couple afternoons of babysitting each week. Even with that, I’m alone with my son most days, so I’m the primary caregiver, I guess, and I can say that parenting a young child is really…

No almost about it, buddy.

Who’s excited to watch two three-hour-long free throw shooting contests tonight? WOO-HOO!

Nobody that knows that guy likes him, but he thinks he’s the most popular person in his social group and I’ll bet has a VERY active Facebook page.

You’ve disregarded the other evidence, in that all the East match ups are tight and all might go seven games. Though only one of those teams really had much chance of beating the Cavs (on-paper, at any rate) to start the playoffs, now they’ve all got to gut this shit out before they even get a crack at Cleveland. And…

Absolutely perfect.

Tavon Austin is not boring, and Todd Gurley is a marketable star.

Poe’s law is my Something New for today. Thank you for that, stranger.

Little much, man. The caps were a joke, I thought it was awesome, which is what I meant in saying,

Still don’t see the travel, man, and even if there was one no ref in his right mind is calling that in that moment.

CBS’ Tracy Wolfson, which makes it that much better.

Bushmill’s is protestant whiskey, and thus not fit for drinking on St. Paddy’s Day. That would be like wearing orange, which I did once and LET ME TELL YOU, you’ll never forget what the Irish flag’s colors mean again after walking into an Irish bar on St. Paddy’s wearing an orange tie. My absurdly, hilariously Irish…

He does like one game a week. The other play-by-play guy the Bucks use (Jim Paschke) is pretty old, as is long-time color man John McGlocklin, who they also supplement with Marques Johnson (he probably does color for 75% of the games). It’s a pretty cool little deal they got going, but Gus is mostly the A1 top…

Giannis had a triple-double, Jabari Parker went for 37, and Khris Middleton had 30 (15-15 at the line) tonight. Got rough late, but plenty of people would like to be a part of what’s going on in Milwaukee right now.

I like that Big Dog comp. People forget he had a lot of good years in the league before he got fat and slow. Always going to be a place for big, strong guys that can score and board.

You can have a real nice career not being a star, so long as you’re allowed to develop into and be what you are.

One year of college ball in which he played center and two years buried under Skiles in Milwaukee totally destroyed any traditional trajectory Harris may have had. Orlando seemed like a good place for him until they hired Skiles, who swapped him for other guys he used to have, but actually liked.

Skiles knew (and liked, for the most part) Jennings and Ilyasova both from his time coaching Milwaukee, from which he also knew (and HATED) Harris, so this could just be the coach asking management to bring in guys who know his system in exchange for a player he simply doesn’t like.

Friday night before Valentine’s Day, my wife and I went out for sushi. The service was shitty and my back still hurts from the terrible seat. The sushi was really, really good, though, and the saki was both inexpensive and totally excellent.
