I’ve been following Sexton for a while now, probably close to a year. He did a lot of reporting from Trump rallies. This piece is pretty unfair to him. He’s never represented himself as anything other than an independent reporter. You’re treating him like a con man because other folks dropped in on his timeline, saw…

She had the job though. And as an actor, you’re always looking for more work, so letting potential employers know that you’ll soon be part of a hit TV show is just common sense. I appreciate the GoT wanting to protect actual plot points, but this level of secrecy is kind of ridiculous.

Hol’ Up...Iron Fist is getting a second season? That’s an...interesting choice.

I’ve never been a big McFarlane fan, but this looks like fun.

I watched every episode on Hulu. It was...pleasant. I don’t think anything was ever funny enough for me actually laugh, but it was entertaining enough. I’ll miss it, but probably because I liked the premise and the performers more than the actual finished product. Would probably work better as an animated show anyway.

That’s a fair reading, but I don’t think you can discount the fact that Durant/Westbrook was never a great fit. I put a lot of that on the way Russell plays. There isn’t a lot of space in his game for anyone else. That’s not a great a trait in any player. It’s especially bad in a point guard, and even worse when that…

The problem is Russ thinking he can address those changes by just assuming more responsibility. Losing Kevin and Serge meant that they needed to become a different kind of team and learn to utilize what pieces they had. They didn’t. They just got Westbrookier.

And the second best player in the world now plays for another team because he and Russ had obvious issues playing together, despite their denials.

People criticized Scotty Brooks’ system too. I tend to believe that Russ IS the system, and thus the problem. He plays this way because he wants to. That’s why it kills me when people say, ‘If he had better teammates...” He had the second best player on the planet and barely wanted to give him the ball. He doesn’t…

Any argument against Kawhi that hinges on him being a “system player” is horseshit. You know what the Spurs “system” is? Passing the ball. That’s it. They’re not running magical plays that other teams haven’t figured out. Pop’s a good coach, but he hasn’t mastered the art of multidimensional screen and roll plays that…

The GIF is some ruinous shit, man.

This is a strawman. When people say, “What about defense?”, they’re not saying defense > offense. They’re saying defense matters. It’s not either/or. It’s about which guy is impacting both ends (phrasing.).

DAMMIT. That was supposed to be win MVP without winning 50 games.

It’s odd that people see his usage/Assist% as a case FOR Westbrook. That’s just a function of no one else touching the ball. Which is kind of why Durant is in Golden State. Also, wins matter. In fact, going back 35 years or so, it’s pretty much the first filter. The last guy to win MVP without winning MVP was Moses,…

Giving the award to Russ would go against a good chunk of NBA history, which says guys on sub-50 win teams don’t win MVP, regardless of how pretty the stats are. The Thunder are looking at 46-47 wins and the 7th seed in the West, which means a first round loss to the Spurs or Warriors. Meanwhile, Leonard, Harden,…

I’ve always thought the complaints about the villains were nitpicking. The heroes have all been great, and that’s why people go see the movies in the first place.

I’m sure Jon Favreau is more famous as,”The other Jon Favreau. The politics, guy, not the Swingers guy” than as “Jon Favreau, Ringer Podcast Host.”

Except that is not what literally happened. All the emails showed was that the Democratic leadership wanted the Democratic candidate to win the Democratic primary. That isn’t why he lost. Bernie got pounded in southern states, partially because he never felt a need to reach out to AA voters. Maybe you should take that…

In what way was it a lie? Is the story not about the girl? Is Yuen not one of the stars of the movie? What did she do wrong here?

Yeah, we can’t crush white folks for being clueless then crush them again when we they ask questions in an effort to sincerely learn something. Telling them go Google feels like a disservice to everyone.
