Agreed. I’ve been excited about this for years. You have this ultimate Chekhov’s Gun of a gigantic wolf army - you have to use it. The direwolves have come to save the day at the last moment multiple times, so why not in the most critical of times for the final battle? In the books it’s almost a given that it will…
No one hazes like Gaston.
Long live The Undrawables! COYS
Or compounding the effect if you follow both sports. Waking up early hungover on a Sunday to watch your European soccer club shit the bed against its main rival only to also see your NFL team get officially eliminated from playoff contention a couple hours later.
When your star player demands a trade with a year and a half left on his deal you are allowed to treat that player as a trade asset instead of as your star player because once he publicly demands a trade, that is what he has made himself.
The Lakers’ offer will still be the Lakers’ offer in July when Boston can enter the process. Teams have shown a willingness to give up a lot for stars on short-term deals in the hopes of convincing them to stay (OKC/PG, Philly/Butler, Toronto/Kawhi) knowing it would be pretty much impossible to sign them outright as…
Lots of very good points, especially about Lonzo’s deficiencies in the half-court game. But even though he’s way overhyped, he does have skills that can help the Suns. Phoenix tries to run a lot in transition, but they aren’t very efficient when they do so. Lonzo can’t run the pick-and-roll, but that’s one of the few…
Don’t forget about swapping Jerry Stackhouse for Rip Hamilton and drafting Tayshaun Prince in the late 1st round of what turned out to be a horrific 2002 draft class.
The anti-vax movement also has a lot to do with feelings of superiority - which is an extremely common byproduct of being wealthy and white. They think of themselves as discerning parents who care more about their children than others who haven’t done their 30 minutes of anti-vax propaganda Google research. If 99% of…
A few years ago I flew from Boston to London on Norwegian Air (we had gotten ourselves to Boston from Chicago on Southwest since it was hundreds cheaper to fly out of Boston). The flight was supposed to leave at 9:30pm but was quickly delayed until 2:30am. The flight was only $380 RT, we were only 5 hours delayed, and…
Great point and you see defenders do it all the time in that situation to try and influence the call in their favor. If they give up on the play and throw their arm in the air and look to the sideline the linesman is definitely going to feel some added pressure to make the call.
Yes this is the one!
Personally I’ve only seen it happen in a situation where an attacking player was behind the (second to) last defender but the ball was played by a defender who poked it away from another attacker, which the ref saw but the AR didn’t. The player can be in an offside position, but when it’s deliberately played by a…
When the line judge raised his flag to call Kane offside, that should’ve been the end of the play.
I bet it comes out that Drew was in a coma and somebody reading him this news brought him out of it.
Normal people upon seeing this: “Holy shit that was awesome.”
He’s a Detroit Red Wings fan. There ya go. Sports.
Just by his name alone Samer always generates fantastic Dead Letters from some of these yokels. So now it’s gonna be Samer’s foreign-sounding name going up against one of the iconic white American sports gods who was the undisputed king of our national pastime during a period of outward racism and segregation.
So insanely talented. So fragile mentally and physically. It’s become pretty apparent that Butler is not the easiest guy to play with, but it’s clear that Embiid feels threatened by Butler’s presence and it’s affecting his game. Instead of recognizing that mid-season major team shakeups take time to adjust to, he…
I had a Summer job working in an area in Metro-Detroit where there were a lot of factories. There was a Buscemi’s around the corner and I’d always see the factory guys in there at lunch buying a slice of pizza or a sub, and a pint of the cheapest vodka they sold. A depressing party, but a party nonetheless.
