I’d never heard of them, either. But the top in those pictures is super cute and now I’m looking into buying some of their stuff. So, well played, USOC.

Silly question: How is one able to actually trademark “Rio?”

When are the big companies and USOC going to learn to just let it go? I’ve never heard of Oiselle but good for them for sponsoring some of the lesser known athletes. The big companies let a winner slip through their grasp so now nobody can celebrate the athlete’s success? I probably am not the market for Oiselle, but…

I mean it’s the East. Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson had better +/- numbers than Dwyane had last season, in both per-game and per-36 minutes. Dragic always played looser without Wade. Even without Chris Bosh, I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that the Heat could be better than the Bulls next year. At least…

This absolutely mirrors my experience with revenue sport athletes at a I-AA school. Occasionally their handlers get involved, though I’ve never had anyone put any kind of pressure on me to provide special treatment — it just turns into an extra meeting with the handler there to repeat what I say and give the student…

I feel like I’m in a sort of unique position—I’m a former NCAA DI coach who now teaches at a large state school. Man, I love having athletes in my classes, so it always makes me sad/frustrated when athletes express this idea that they think all faculty are against them. Many faculty truly enjoy university athletics…

Lost in all this- Whiteside fulfills his destiny of being the highest paid player on a very bad team.

welcome to finishing 7th in the east and not getting a good draft pick.

You are still tanking but now you are tanking with a hometown star to keep season tickets sales up while also spending the escalating salary cap floor money. #Kobetanking

Seems to me that this is a senseless waste of energy on an arduous climb. I mean, those batteries in their hidden motors only have so much juice.

Methinks it’s the #1foam fingers. More fingers, more greatness.

Other things Donald Trump has said we must do which we decidedly do not:

What metric does he use to measure greatness? When America is swathed in tacky pink marble and gold plating? If so, pass. I’m good with my mid century modern decor America.

So I only skimmed this but what I’m hearing is that we need to waterboard Trump?

The expense account line item read:

“Hey Russ, we know you want $25M a year, but what would you do if we took all that “extra stuff” off the table, and just did it Jesus’ way?”

I’m pretty sure even Jesus would be banging her, Russ.

this guy should know by now not to get all fancy trying to score- just pound it in. I swear some people will never learn.

If I had to break my relationship into the categories “extra stuff” and “main stuff” I definitely don’t think I would put doing it into the first one
