Old Man Cena is so great. And putting him, Woods and Enzo was one of the better segments they’ve had in awhile.

The people who don’t get it don’t want to get it. The meaning is obvious, so any one still behaves as though they don’t understand is either a stupid person or a racist person who prefers to be seen as a stupid person.

What kills me about these “This is terrible for the NBA” pieces is that we JUST saw this happen when Lebron went to Miami. That was only six years ago. And not only was it not a disaster, it was the best thing that happened to the league. In fact, if Lebron doesn’t jump to Miami, then viewership doesn’t jump, which…

Holy shit, is the NHLPA just as terrible as the NFLPA? I didn’t think it was possible. This all seems completely insane.

Lebron’s the only guy playing it this way. Even KD will probably take the longer guaranteed deal this summer. Most guys understand the risks involved in that strategy. Those risks don’t really apply to Lebron because A) he’s forged from an admantium-vibranium alloy and never gets hurt and B) he’s classified as a deity…

I get that. I guess I’m just surprised that countries like Spain and Argentina haven’t been able to sustain. The impression a few years ago was the U.S. was falling behind in development. So I assumed that these countries would continue to develop and roll out strong teams. That doesn’t appear to be the case though.…

Why does it feel like international competition has kind of cratered? The countries that really challenged and even beat the US 2000-2006 haven’t been able to replenish their squads. I’m always going to root for the US, but I like for them to get pushed. The ‘08 as probably the coolest that I can remember because it…

Teams in bad markets are already overpaying. Honestly, if a market isn’t desirable to players, then the league probably shouldn’t be there.

That’s so great. Kyrie’s mini-breakdown there was just enormously entertaining.

All of this. What’s funny is, I haven’t been this positive on ESPN’s rotation in years. If they can somehow manage to push Stephen A off a cliff, I’d be back on the bandwagon.

Its funny, I think I qualify as a smark, but sometimes I wish I didn’t. The other night when Styles turned on Cena, I couldn’t help but think about all the ways in which it works. Someone new for John! Keeps AJ in a prime role without having him chase the belt! A legit TNA vs. WWE angle! Meanwhile, my 8-yea-old is…

Fair enough. I think that generally misses the appeal of pro wrestling and pro wrestling video games. Its about the suspension of disbelief, and I think that gets lost if you’re focused on the mechanics of storytelling.

That would kind of be like a game based on an action movie, but instead of playing out scenes from the movie, you play out moments like the table read, sitting in makeup for three hours, and fighting with people in mo cap suits.

Yes. He was getting laid. Its unfair to expect a 16 year old boy to understand her trauma and how that made her ill-equipped to make a rational decision.

I don’t see how its fair or particularly productive to arrest any of these kids. If the girl did in fact consent to this, as gross as it is, then what are we charging the boys with? If the traumas she’s suffered in the past play a part in this at all, I would think it would lead to more blame for the adults involved…

Wow...who would have thought that Dwight Howard would be an overthinker? Between this and his conflict over smiling/not-smiling, sounds like he spends a ton of time deep in his own head.

I mean, other than that awful Van Gundy press conference, what other examples do we have of Dwight being a pathological liar?

Slim Charles.

No. But what about the other two? They came into with championship pedigree. Their first year, Okafor was ROY, and Gordon was Sixth Man. Has either guy had a significant moment in the league since?

I scrolled through some of this yesterday, and I was surprised (horrified?) how often the word “cuck” showed up. Like, there is still a decent amount of white guys obsessed with the idea of white women being taken by black men.
