I honestly do forget how old I am and wind up having to do the math. I just never think about it.

“Happy tenth birthday, son!”

I think on the high end, the talent level from about the mid-80s on is pretty much the same. Magic and Bird highlights still look incredible, and I don’t think either of those guys would have trouble in today’s game (even with Magic’s idiosyncratic skill set not being suited to today’s game). The three biggest…

Make a squad of the 10 best players from these four teams—the Hawks, Celtics, Pacers, and Raptors—and any of the West’s top three teams would put it down in five.

Alright, you guys are killing me. Anyone who doesn’t recognize this whole thing as a publicity stunt is kidding themselves at this point.

Usually the bandwagon doesn’t stay up long enough for anyone to hop on.

They are the 2004 Detroit Pistons of the Premier League. Congrats to them.

Least favorite Jay-Z cheating rumor?: that he’s hooked up with Gwyneth. Goop, please. She wishes.

Right?

Holy crap, you gave me a reason to subscribe to Tidal.

Definitely more fun today. These clips don’t show you the endless isolations with eight players packed on one end of the floor doing fuck all. Getting rid of illegal defense and hand-checking were the two greatest innovations since the three-point line. I like the ‘90s personalities more, but I think that’s mostly a…

Durant yesterday and now this. These Kobe tributes need to stop.

Not only that, but Littlefinger trying to pin the knife on Tyrion, a story that doesn’t have a prayer of holding up if Tyrion makes it back to King’s Landing instead of having the chance meeting with Catelyn at the Inn. Why would Petyr tell such an easily disproved lie? The purpose of scheming is to make sure it…

Yeah, I agree, I was being hyperbolic. Late in his Pistons tenure, Rodman focused less on defense and more on rebounding (which continued with the Spurs) but his early years (say through 1990-91) he was magnificent. That version of Rodman was good enough to merit a spot on my hypothetical Wine Cellar team.

I was looking for io9 and got lost.

This is absolutely heartbreaking, and it’s something I worry about with both my wife and I. I can’t even fathom it.

Really, he already has. Everything about Jon Arryn’s death and the assassination attempt on Bran didn’t make a lick of sense.

“How anyone can believe I don’t defies belief .”

If you believe what has been written and said by the team since, one of the reasons this team was so successful was that MJ was less of a psychopath, at least with his teammates. He got into a fistfight with Kerr in training camp, realized he didn’t know his new teammates that well, and took the effort to be less…

PA announcer pleads with fans to stop chucking wristbands. “This is Philly, this is not somewhere else in the NHL....Have some class.”
