Yeah, that bothered me as well.

RE: Drew’s letter, I’ve always followed the +2 rule for school/work. You can come back and mingle for up to two years after you graduated/left/were fired, then it gets weird.
Oof, I had blocked out all McInnis-related memories. I forgot how low the lows were.
NBA trend now seems to be towards shorter and shorter contracts. Is this good for NBA fans? I get that it’s more entertaining and flexible, but increased roster turnover seems anti-fan in some ways.
With the rise of various staff positions, often students seem to think they should go to such individuals rather than the professor at fault. This makes professors more frightened because they get no opportunity to fix their mistake before their boss knows. I disagree with the author trying to poo-poo professor fear.…
Agreed. They ruined all the joy of Iceland performing a worthy upset to weep about England with 25 minutes to go, in a one-goal match.
Loved the Wallace digs. I’d also add, play defense at the preferred level of the game. If you’re over- or under-aggressive, it marks you as an unwanted new guy. Find the preferred style and stick to it.
Had to go look up that draft: Josh Smith goes at #17, Jameer Nelson at #20. Either makes for interesting changes to Lebron’s early career.
Eh, but isn’t this going to happen no matter which star praises his teammates? For example, watching ESPN doc about OJ Simpson, there was a clip where OJ praises his teammates. I LOL’ed when he tried to say something nice about Joe Ferguson.
Subtle, I like it. The first draft pick after a superstar is drafted is critical, it’s likely the last chance to get another star before superstar starts making playoff appearances.
Yes, the mic cover was the weird part. The laptop camera cover, why not, it takes two seconds and actually might help.
A few days ago, there was a front-page article on ESPN.com doing an oral history of 2006 Finals, including many gripes from Mavs players. This is hardly out of nowhere.
I mean, if you are a tech guy, chances are you think Yahoo has brutally mismanaged itself in last 5 years. Yahoo has been the Clippers...Astros...uh, well, you get the idea. Times change.
Yes! I feel like that gets left out a lot. The Friend Zone can be a cozy, safe place, heh.
Good points
Excellent title! And who has sex anyway? All those icky fluids and loud sounds and sweat! I’m just going to stay in my mom’s basement where the snacks are and read Deadspin. That’s a much better use of my time.
Seems like Dikembe’s fellow time-travelers should have alerted him more quickly to his error. /timely
They’re good stories! Helps round out the context.
It could be he mistook another type of snake for a copperhead? And they were kind enough not to rub it in afterward, etc.
