I already respected Reggie Smith as a great player, the fact that he wanted to kick the crap out of Bill Lee and Pascual Perez makes me like him even more. Of course as crazy as he might have been, picking a fight with a team as big as the Pirates were that also had Bill Madlock’s crazy ass would have probably been…

Encino is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, not a city a half hour north.

She did get $25 billion from banks in a settlement to fund a mortgage relief fund, and co-sponsored, along with Warren, a law to allow states to subpoena federal banks but sure let’s go with your reductive “She didn’t prosecute Mnuchin” line

I will never not love that joke. 

I think we can all agree that the biggest offense is that he used AfterEffects to edit an image.

Fun fact: Ian Mahinmi used a similar photoshop method to get a $64 million contract from Ernie Grunfeld.

shout out to the REAL MVP the rich mf’er who had season tickets to the 2 seats i sat in every game and only showed up to like 4 games the entire season
