The best is when people you know talk about how “productive” they are and feel the need to be “productive” on their days off from work, because if they aren’t actively accomplishing something then they are a failure.

You know what nobody’s said on their deathbed? “I wish I’d worked more.”

To be fair the wife and kid probably wanted him to go back to work. I mean could you imagine spending more that a day with that guy?

Capitalism really does a number on some people.

Since the fan is the son of a Thunder minority owner, I’m guessing he said “You may make more money than me right now, but you will most certainly join the 60 percent of NBA players who go broke within 5 years of leaving the sport due to being stupidly sucked into bad investments, stalked by freeloaders in your…

I mean, it’s got a lot of letters but it uses a phonetic spelling, not hard to do.

Only Messi really knows how taxing those ten years were, however.

So.. the player definitely looks white. I would not have known he had African ancestry until I read it in this article. This is an interesting test case for so-called hate speech laws. A few questions:

Would an English soccer writer and/or reader be expected to know that Barkley is of Nigerian descent (and does he identify as black)? I ask because I certainly would not have guessed it based on the photo, but have no idea whether this is common knowledge there.

Eli’s just upset these messages were intercepted, but really he shouldn’t be surprised.

This is the same shit Peyton did when he tried to sell his worn uniforms.

Dat sign placement doe

Holy sheet. I would have lost my Tempur.

At least it was just a mattress. If anything bigger furniture wise, that accident would have been sofa king bad.

Yesh. I think the car taking the video would have stopped in time. He would have been pissed about it, because he got cut off, but he would have stopped in time.
