Imagine you’re Danny Ainge. You have spent years building a team that can finally beat Cleveland. You exercised the patience of a monk, waiting for Hayward to become a free agent. That was the guy he had long been targeting and been linked to Boston for years. You fight tooth-and-nail to yank him away from the team…

Damn. Owned.

Of course his entire motivation was to generate some good PR after looking like such an entitled dick the last time Houston got hit.

Can we not reward these neckbeard losers for throwing temper tantrums because they didn’t get their cartoon sauce?

In 2015, the FBI flew secret spy planes above protests in Maryland over the death of Freddie Gray at the hands of the Baltimore police

This is what happens when you let a bunch of Silicon Valley souless tech ghouls run NBA teams. They take the same capital vampiring approach as they do with some dumb startup that intentionally leaves out the final vowel in its name. They inherenty want to depress labor value and salary, to bleed every last drop out…

So what exactly is preventing them from revealing the content of the note? They confirmed it was from him, what else is stopping them? Just show us the damn note.

I’m curious to see how she’s going to blend in there. You’re taking someone who’s brand was built on her almost counter culture personality. Garbage Time was like the punk rock to the rest of the televised sports Top 40 pop blandness.

I was told there would be Digby pictures. Fuck this.

Sidenote: Taylor Rooks fucking rules and is already x5000 better at this than 99% of the hot air spewing takers on ESPN/FS1.

Any NFL player with an ounce of moral fiber needs to protest in solidarity with Kaep. The very same flag that Kaep is kneeling against is draped behind this megalomaniac, senile racist as he cheerleads for billionaire owners to fire their black employees for protesting social injustices.

Sometimes the Baseball Man is a self-righteous asshole but other times the Baseball Man is fun and good.

It’s truly heartwarming to see teens grifting at such a young age.

I’m a Pirates fan who has adopted the Indians. This is an insanely likeable team (sans the whole racist logo). All the players are a joy to root for.

At this point, both ESPN and FS1 should just embrace running headlong into their perceived political biases. No matter how hard ESPN tries, they will NEVER be able to shed their “liberal” perception. It’s permanent at this point, and there is really nothing they can do about it. While I hope FS1 fails miserably, I do…

Wow. Damn. Yes, this is probably the right answer.

He is not doing this as a parody, but rather as a grifter. That’s all he is. I’m sure he has some foundational level of genuine awfulness, you sort of have to in order to do what he does, but I think 50% of his personality is a huckster appealing to an even lower common denominator than he naturally would.

How long until Clay Travis tries to truther this by bringing in some handwriting expert after one of his fans sifted through the Sumlin’s trash to find writing samples?

Are athletes just unaware on her history of doing this sort of thing? She has an extensive history of putting athletes on blast who do this, but they still insist on shooting their shot.

The quality of work that SB Nation puts out is 1000 miles better than Bleacher Report. I can think of two media folks I enjoy from B/R - Matt Miller and Michael Felder - and that’s it.
