No C-Webb, no Moncrief. Really disappointing. Nice timing by Jerry Krause, I doubt he makes it in if he’s alive. Maybe that’s what Moncrief has to do to finally get in.

He should at least wind up with his first All-NBA selection this season (3rd team, the dustbin of All-NBA selections), which is not nothing.

Counterpoint: James Harden is the MVP.

Sure, but there should be other things to do in the game aside from hunt monsters for coin, even if that is your job. If this is practically all that he does, this makes him less interesting and the game less fun (for me, at any rate) to play. The other issue is that the combat grew tedious with me pretty early, so…

Albert and I are twins in this regard. I didn’t like BOTW either, and I got tired of every quest in the Witcher being “go to X location and kill monster.” When that started dominating my quest list, I bailed.

Same: mashing the Flirt button, trying (and failing) to bone my way through our new galaxy.

This reminds me of when my mom visited me, and I showed her the first Sims game. Initially she was all,“are these supposed to be people?” “Are they talking?” “Why don’t they speak English?” “How do you win this game?” “You can’t win? What’s the point?”

So did the break room crew take down the shooter? When does the sequel come out?

Per FiveThirtyEight, the Pistons chances for making the playoffs fell from 63% to 27%. Damn.

But only if done correctly. Bad Carlton is a fifty-yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff and a deduction of two points.

Ah, right. Yeah, he’s very good as well.

He was probably planning on doing the same thing for The Ringer. Not only did they: a) get beaten to the punch, but; b) the public interest will be more in what Jonah Keri thinks rather than whomever is covering baseball for Simmons’ vertical.

Did you discuss it with House and Hench and Sully?

She was not going to be ignored.

Having Fallout 4 flashbacks. Especially on Hardcore mode, rain with the radioactive lightning was a bitch.

I watch ‘em all, even the crappy ones.

I would say “no” for the Warriors (unless we find out Durant isn’t coming back at all), with the caveat that I think either San Antonio or Houston are both good enough to be considered capable of upsetting them in a playoff series. But a definite “yes” for the Cavs, who aren’t the same team this year. It still remains…

I’ve spent a lot of time in hockey circles and I’ve never heard of anything like this. Hockey players party and do stupid shit, but nothing team mandated.

In (NBA coach) Phil Jackson’s book The Last Season, he relays one of the best sports anecdotes I’ve ever heard. “During a West Coast trip, Jack McMahon, who coached…

I don’t want to be critical of what people like now, but I’m old enough to remember the Showtime Era when the Lakers had nothing but organ music and nobody minded. Everyone was there to watch the game..

This eventually has to start affecting the amount of money they’re willing to pay for NFL/NBA broadcasting rights. If people are cutting cords on cable regardless of sports programming, eventually ESPN will have to come to the conclusion that monopolies on broadcast rights aren’t worth as much as they’ve been paying.
