Jennifer, I am WITH YOU on being set up. I feel like the basic criteria is: she’s single + he’s single = great couple!

There’s something vaguely therapy shaming about that headline, me thinks.

Therapy is GREAT and everybody should have a chance at speaking with a thoughtful, intelligent empathetic counselor at one point in their life, especially during a crisis. 

Seeing a psychologist to recover from a divorce is relatable, helpful, and the opposite of the kind of thing I expect to hear on Howard Stern’s show.

Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

Zach Braff did not age well. Hoo boy. 

would be fun to watch a Sixers Knicks jumbo matchup

Clearly they were ripping off Schitt’s Creek and did it wrong.

On the Dunc’d on podcast preview of the Knicks, Duncan speculated that the Knicks, with their 9000+ power forwards, were setting Fizdale to fail. He then recommended that Fizdale, at whatever point he knows his firing is imminent, that he go down firing by starting an all-big lineup:

C - Mitchell Robinson

Lightly regarded Justin Anderson is trying to earn a bag whereas Mook is trying to keep the rookie from jeopardizing his bag by playing overly aggressive in a meaningless preseason game.

I’m sure Morris wants to “bring some tenacity” to NYK but it seems it’s more the Knicks rubbing off on Morris than Morris (and his “toughness”) bringing tenacity to the Knicks.

I will be disappointed if we do not get sufficient headlines about a Zion Slam Dance Party.

I’m 100% sure that this headline will happen: “Watch Zion Dunk The Dick Off A Basketball”.

Username checks out

At this rate, the only thing that can stop Zion is a pro-Hong Kong tweet!

I fully expect multiple Deadspin headlines this year that feature some combination of the words “Zion” “slam” and “to hell.”

First thought.

Apparently, it wasn’t even because he was on the Z1. The article mentions other competitors on it as well. The dispute weirdly seems to come down to the fact that he obtained the Z1 nefariously. It seems like if he had earned the Z1 legitimately, then he wouldn’t have been penalized for using it. So the suspension…

Eh, I’m fine with each bike having advantages/disadvantages. It becomes Chun-Li vs. Ryu. If you want to use Chun-Li? Fine. Sagat? Go for it. Pick whichever Character (Bike) fits your fighting (Riding) style.

“It seems peculiar to me that an official cycling national championship race would allow competitors to ride different virtual bikes and start on a less-than-level playing field, but that’s probably why I am neither a cycling bureaucrat nor an esports champion.”

This.
