Gotcha covered, Hannah.

It would be hilarious if they decided to start resting guys during the first round of the playoffs.

Nene getting away with the soccer-style naming convention always seemed unfair.

Yeah, they do the same split Major League Baseball does. Pacific League has the DH, Central League doesn’t.

Yomiuri Giants play in the Central League. No DH there, either.

Dumping ground for movies not expected to do well. Successful blockbusters are reserved for the summer.

The U.S. team had three close wins during the 2000 Olympics and flamed out so badly in 2002 that they needed to enter a qualification tournament to even make the 2004 Olympics. In 2004, they lost to Puerto Rico by 19 points in the opening game. Talent wasn’t the issue: They had Duncan, Wade, LeBron and Carmelo, and…

Durant will have just signed a mega-contract, and his new team might have a Strong Feelings, given Durant’s recent history of foot injuries.

And if the US didn’t construct the perfect storm of bad superstar basketball in 2004 (not the best we had/notorious chuckers/not quite ready superstars), neither of those teams would have a gold medal.

Judging from the changes between 2014 and 2015, I’m guessing a lot of throwback jerseys aren’t being sold. Brian Dawkins?

My pet conspiracy theory is that he’s going to retire this year. He’s only 31 (32 in December) but he’s racked up a lot of mileage and he’s clearly on the back side of his prime. It will be his sixth straight Finals series and the Cavs have minimal hope of beating the Warriors/Spurs. I don’t think he’s really happy…

So it looks like they didn’t have a time out at the end? That might have helped.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to imagine that players might be upset with this. If Adam LaRoche’s kid gets to hang out in the clubhouse 120 games of the year, ride the charter, take drills, etc. What about everyone else’s kids? Is everyone bringing their children to work? Of course not, it’s not appropriate. Work is…

This is only interesting because I never thought that I could negotiate a “no fucking kids in the workplace” clause, and LaRoche is showing me that it might be doable.

Pick up the torch, Anna.

I don’t even know Adam LaRoche’s kid and I already have a problem with him.

What is “Worldstar!” in Mandarin?

Wow, this is the best absolutely unfounded comment I’ve read all day.

Totally stealing this idea.

I let ESPN fill it out with one of those Smart Brackets, saw that my alma mater made the Elite Eight, said “bullshit, we’re not losing to Arizona” so I bumped them to the Final Four and went with that.
