Just for shits, say there is no draft and it’s a free market bidding system to sign these rookies, assuming a 4-year term limit, and having to stay under the cap, what would Fultz sign for? $40M/4 years? $50M/4 years?

I feel like that is the most important policy stance for a lot of Conservatives. Just a hate and disdain for the “Libtards”. Bonus points if person you are hating is a liberal AND a member of the media.

NFL reporters have absolutely nothing to talk about right now. They NEED the skipping OTAs stories until training camp rolls around and they can finally report on which players are “in the best shape of their lives”.

There is little doubt that the timing of this attack is related to the election a couple weeks away. The goal of ISIS is to pit the rest of the world against all Muslims so that Muslims will have “no choice” but to join with ISIS for a “final battle” against all non-Muslims. To do this, you need people in power that…

Misguided sleuthing apparently. But it’s Friday afternoon, what else am I going to do at work? Work??

Ahh the “Rampage” profile picture! It HAS to be him. The LinkedIn one’s Facebook has a bunch of Trump and Patriotism™ stuff on it so I was thrown off by that.

There are not many John Rampinos (6 on LinkedIn). The expressed willingness to commit thousands of murders on behalf of Kelly Olynyk would suggest a Celtics fan. There was one profile for a John Rampino from Dedham, MA that went to Boston High School (no university listed - shocking).

Seriously. Everybody else has to alter their path to avoid you. If you’re talking about walking around your subdivision and reading where there is nobody on the sidewalks, then knock yourself out. If you pull that shit in the city I’ll feel a strong urge to shove you and your Sue Grafton novel out into traffic.

Wow that is some pretty deep deception. On a much, much smaller scale, for my college grad ceremony I was graduating with honors (NERD!) and thus had the golden cords. There are hundreds of us in a sort of hallway staging area moving in a line to eventually go into the auditorium for the ceremony and I somehow dropped…

I mean, to me it sounds like a whole different animal altogether.

The appropriate comparison of having them play their games before the NBA is making the WNBA the “JV to the NBA’s Varsity”. Is that demeaning? Probably. Should they commit to a format where every NBA team has a companion WNBA team? Hell no. As mentioned in the article, some of the most passionate WNBA fanbases are in…

No, he would be Moroccan-American. When slaves were brought over to America from Africa, the slave-owners destroyed their family history/language/ancestry/etc, making it nearly impossible for descendants of those slaves to trace their roots back to any sort of specific origin. This was done purposefully to prevent…

High school chemistry, apparently.

Most turnovers on in-bounds plays happen because teams are trying to force the ball into their best free throw shooters. If there is no reason to have to try to get only a select one or two guys open it becomes exponentially easier to safely get the ball in. Even if you have an 85% free-throw shooter that’s just over…

If Seager lets that ball travel a bit further and doesn’t reach out for it he makes the tag in time there. It doesn’t diminish the awesomeness of the throw at all that they didn’t get the out, but Puig absolutely deserved the assist on that one.

So scenario: Team A is up by 1 with 20 seconds to go. Team A inbounds the ball, Team B fouls them. Team A is up by 1 now with 19 seconds to go. Team A inbounds the ball, Team B fouls them. Team A is up by 1 now with 18 seconds to go. Team A inbounds the ball, Team B fouls them. <Repeat 17 more times>.

Would just need a small carve-out in probably just the last minute of the 4th quarter/OT where you have to shoot. Or else you wouldn’t be able to intentionally foul to put a team at the line when trailing in the closing seconds of a game.

I learned that song in school about 20 years ago, but still remember every word. Did everybody learn that song? Or was it just Michigan/Minnesota/Wisconsin/Canada?

Don’t forget about Kevin Youkilis charging a 21-year-old rookie Rick Porcello when he was with the Tigers on an obviously accidental HBP. Youkilis charged out at a backing away, apologizing Porcello and then threw his helmet at him and grabbed him and hilariously got slammed.
